And if you have the Tech or Magic Origin Temp Power, you can change it to "targetcustomnext Oil$$powexecname Taser Dart" or "targetcustomnext Oil$$powexecname Apprentice Charm"
Those will automatically target the Slick and fire the power at it thus igniting it.

Unless something has changed (or I did it wrong) you can't target and ignite a slick with one bind/macro click.
What I've got is a macro to target it and then ignite it, except I've gotta hit it twice. First click targets the slick, second one activates the taser dart.
What I've got is /macro OSA "targetcustomnext Oil$$powexecname Taser Dart" iirc.
I'll double check when I get home, though.
edit: maybe because its a macro, not a bind?

I used the macro on my TA's you do have to click it twice.

I use this and don't have to click twice:

Well damn, I'll have to use a bind. Not that it bothers me, just surprised. I assumed a bind would work the same way as a macro. Learn something new everyday, cheers Trickshooter

not 100% sure but believe that allows the bound key to do one action when the key is pressed and another action when the key is released. so rather than push the key twice, as others mentioned above, you are actually targeting the oil slick by pressing the key and firing the power when you release the key. so it seems like you are doing it by pressing the key once, instead of twice, but technically it's still two actions.

Doesn't the order that the bind is written in make a difference? As in, the system reads the bind from the END to the START... So if you write you macro or bind as "targettargetcustomnext Oil Slick$$powexecname Taser Dart" you actually attempt to fire the taser dart BEFORE targeting the oil slick. However, "powexecname Taser Dart$$targettargetcustomnext Oil Slick" *should* work with a single click. I don't know, I haven't tested it (as I don't have OSA yet) but if someone wants to give this a whirl and see if it makes a difference...
EDIT: Hmmm, after reviewing the bind info, the back to front is only when there are multiple *executable* commands (ie clicks or toggles)... but who knows? It *might* make a difference?

No, binds are always executed front to back. The reason that it makes a difference when using multiple instances of the same commands (especially activating powers or using custom targeting commands) is that the bind will perform the first action but then immediately afterwards perform the second one canceling the first.|

For example, if you use:
/bind {key} "powexecname Power1$$powexecname Power2"
What happens is the bind queues up Power1 to be the next power you use but then immediately queues up Power2 which due to the way the game works will cancel the attempted activation of Power1. There are a couple of tricks that you can do with this though. Notably the powexectoggleon command only works if the power is off. So using this:
/bind {key} "powexecname Power1$$powexectoggleon Toggle1"
Will turn on Toggle1 if it is turned off or activate Power1 if Toggle1 is already on.
Thanks Adeon!
Further reading (about targetting a teammate and then activating Speed Boost - so similar conceptually) suggests that the timing issue is to blame. In other words, if you could put in a pause between the 'target oil' and the 'activate power' it should work... the suggestion (which may or may not work) was to put a 'filler' command in between, i.e. "targettargetcustomnext Oil Slick$$local Burn, baby, burn!$$powexecname Taser Dart" where the filler command to say "Burn, baby, burn!" in local chat would fix the timing in between the target command and the activate power command.
Again, haven't tried it, don't know if it will work - just trying to throw in the information I can find ('cause I want this perfected before *I* get OSA! Heeeeheeeeheee)
Easiest thing thing to do is to write the macro without the pause and just learn to double tap the key you've got bound to that macro. No fuss, no muss. Takes just about as long as adding the filler to it anyway.
It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...
working my TA/ice fendur up now and I just had a few questions about OSA. First, does aim/pbu effect its damage? and second is there a bind/macro i can write to auto target the oil slick pet the power summons for easy targeting? im very bad at that sort of thing. kthnx!
