Description

Attacks the players selected target.

This is actually a toggle. If not currently attacking, it will initiate attack. If currently attacking, it will stop attacking.

If you need a way to always engage auto-attack, rather than toggle it on or off, one workaround I've used is AssistUnit("player"); this will always attack if you have "Attack on assist" checked in the Advanced tab of the Interface Options panel. (Although, I should add that I've had trouble mixing this with TargetNearestEnemy() in the same macro - the "Assist" target info isn't updated fast enough I guess) -- JamesNeko 07:03, 4 Mar 2006 (EST)
