QuestMobTarget

Version 0.2.81.

Forever beta 1.60.1 (Interface 16001). Builds /targetexact macros for quest targets.

0.2.81 release summary

• Smaller PNG icon and consistent version metadata in both TOC files.
• Cleaned-up source comments and a runtime-only release ZIP without macOS metadata.

Macro behavior

• No combat automation. Only writes macros out of combat.
• You press the macro to target. Never calls TargetUnit() or parses combat events.
• CreateMacro / EditMacro are #nocombat. In combat the addon queues and retries on PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED.

Install

Add it from CurseForge (recommended).

Manual install:

1. Extract the ZIP's QuestMobTarget folder into World of Warcraft_classic_beta_InterfaceAddOns.
2. Folder name must match the .toc name.

For an update, replace the installed addon files with those from the release ZIP. Saved settings require no migration.

Files:

• QuestMobTarget.toc (fallback, Interface 16001)
• QuestMobTarget_Camelot.toc (Forever-specific, same content)
• QuestMobTarget.lua
• QuestMobTarget-logo.png

Use

Quest log details pane (top-right, no scroll):

• Target Enemy -> account macro QMT (crosshair icon) for kill mob
• Target Friend -> account macro QMTF (spyglass icon) for talk NPC

Commands:

• /qmt - enemy macro for selected quest, else first kill quest
• /qmt friendly - friendly macro for selected quest talk objective
• /qmt list - show kill + friendly objectives
• /qmt Rok'Alim - manual enemy macro
• /qmt friendly Rok'Alim - manual friendly/turn-in macro (use when turn-in name is not in the API)
• /qmt auto on|off - auto-update tracked macro when objectives finish (default on)
• /qmt untrack - stop auto-updating QMT/QMTF

Auto-update: a quest-built macro follows that quest. Finish Worg out of Worg + Gnoll and the macro rewrites to just Gnoll. Manual /qmt <name> macros never auto-update. In-combat updates queue until combat ends.

Result example:

#showtooltip
/cleartarget
/targetexact Rok'Alim

Multiple mobs (first found wins — WoW macros can't range-check across different names, so Tab is still the true "closest"):

#showtooltip
/cleartarget
/targetexact Worg
/targetexact [noexists] Gnoll

Drag QMT / QMTF from Macros (Esc > Macros) to your action bar.

Notes

• Enemy = C_QuestLog.GetQuestObjectives(questID) where type == "monster". Rok'Alim slain: 0/1 -> Rok'Alim.
• Friendly = talk verbs (Talk to, Speak with, Meet, Return to, etc.) + event/object objectives. Item objectives are skipped.
• Turn-in NPCs are often not in the quest API once complete; manual /qmt friendly <Exact Name> covers that.
• Macro limit is 255 chars / 120 account + 18 character slots. Reuses QMT / QMTF if they exist.
