Macro errors

I searched the forums, but could not find a similar problem. Basically, I'm using bongos and have a lot of things keybound, including the ritual of souls, various mounts, and the vashj tainted core macros.
After the patch, I can't use those things if I have a player targeted.
I have no idea why, and it's driving me nuts. If I try pushing those buttons, I just get an invalid target errror.
Any idea, or maybe even a fix?
Thanks.

The root of your problems may be coming from the fix to 'near names.' For instance, if you used a "/tar dem" macro for demon chains on ilhoof, it now needs to read "/tar demon chains." Be sure that your macros are all full-length names for things.

Also if you use any mouseover macros (probably not as a lock though), those need to be changed to have a conditional 'target existing' statement.

Edit: the demon chains macro example is poor, it has more to do with near-names than incomplete names >_<

nah, I probably didn't make myself clear.
I have, for example, the "ritual of souls" spell on one of my bongos bars, and I have it assigned to ctrl-s. Whenever I pressed ctrl-s, I would start casting a soulwell. After the patch, if I have a player from my raid targeted, I get an "invalid target" error.

I use a lot of different macros and some of the conditionals and how they were evaluated changed slightly in 2.2.2. Can you please post the exact macro you have so we can take a look and hopefully get it working again?

There is a stance option for friendly target in Bongos meaning that your actionbars switch to another one if you have a friendly target selected. You can change this in the stance options if this is your problem.

Is it possible that the macros you are talking about are on hidden actionbars? I had exactly the same problem. My conjure water, mount, herbalism etc. buttons and macros were placed on a hidden actionbar. My solution to this was to write the following macro

/bob show 1 *if bar 1 was the bar the buttons were placed on*
/bob hide 1

With this macro, the bar was quickly showed and hidden again immediately, actually you couldn't even recognize it appearing and disappearing but this made it work for me. Don't ask me why, but it worked.
