Mastermind macro question

How do I target a pet from a macro? I would like to set up buttons to heal my pets.

Well there used to be a really good guide in the MM section about numeric keypads. I'd link you but none of my bookmarks work now so maybe you can find it.

Or whoever didn't set up a redirect to the threads can find it for you?

I tried the target-custom stuff but that command only targets in a next, next, next fashion. I would like to be able to... target a specific pet$$heal power, type of bind/macro.

So you specify the name at the end of the Target Custom.

target_custom_next mypet alive PETNAME

Just an additional note: Custom Pet Names do not work for this, you have to use Assault, Battle, Protector names.

See if Paragon Wiki pet_select syntax works better for you.

It looks to me like this is borked for mastermind pets.

/macro test target_custom_next mypet alive Phantasm .......worked fine for my Controller but the same macro changing the name for a MM pet does'nt work.

Its either broken for MM or has been implemented to NOT work for MM.

In my last edit, try /pet_select 0-5

That will target the specific pet. However, it only uses the list of alive pets. If one dies, the one below it on the list gets bumped up one numeral.

that kinda makes the purpose moot. I been looking to make a macro to use my single target heal on the hurt pet without having to cycle thru all the pets. Having a heal key for each pet.

Thats what pet_select will do.

Your assault bot is normally first on the list:
pet_select 0 will target it, if it dies the next one on the list then becomes the target.

Either way it will take two button presses, one for the target and another for the repair or heal.

Thank you Inokis for mentioning pet_select. I didn't know about that one.

I got my idea to work with..../macro Format "pet_select_name format$$powexec_name "share pain""


I can either double click the macro icon or hit the keyboard key twice and it works. Targets the named pet and the second click/key press, casts Share Pain on the pet.


I have a pet named Format.

I didn't know about Pet_Select_Name, so you went one step further and found a solution for yourself.

I'm glad you did find something that worked.
