 ;''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.
-----
+: You can test your current attack "Action slot" using [[API_IsCurrentAction|IsCurrentAction(actionSlot)]] for status (you'll have to find the auto-attack slot, though).
+: If you need a way to always engage auto-attack, rather than toggle it on or off, one workaround is [[API_AssistUnit|AssistUnit("player")]]: this will always attack if you have "Attack on assist" checked in the Advanced tab of the Interface Options panel. Note that you cannot combine this with [[API_TargetNearestEnemy|TargetNearestEnemy()]] in the same function/macro: the "assist" target isn't updated fast enough.
-This is actually a toggle.  If not currently attacking, it will initiate attack.  If currently attacking, it will stop attacking.
