← WoW API < GetRaidTargetIndex

Get which raid targetting icon is being shown over a mob or raid member.

icon=GetRaidTargetIndex("unit");

In patch 1.11, Blizzard added the ability for a raid/party leader or assistant leader to assign up to 8 different target icons to mobs or players. These icons are visible only to other players within the raid or party.

Parameters

Arguments

("unit")

unit

String - The UnitId to examine.

Returns

icon

Number - a value from 1 to 8, or nil, as follows:

nil = no icon

1 = Yellow 4-point Star

2 = Orange Circle

3 = Purple Diamond

4 = Green Triangle

5 = White Crescent Moon

6 = Blue Square

7 = Red "X" Cross

8 = White Skull

Example

icon=GetRaidTargetIndex("player");

Note

• Note that (at least during 1.11), GetRaidTargetIndex() will return seemingly-random indexes for units that do not exist. Always test for UnitExists() before doing GetRaidTargetIndex().

Explicit case: "raid2target" when "raid2" is offline and not targetting anything at all misbehaves.
