FaceTargetToAttack

Screenshot

Ever gotten a "Must face target to attack" message? Sometimes it happens if a monster moves around in mid-combat, sometimes it happens if you use a skill like Charge.
Whatever the cause, the result is the same: Your character just stands there with a dumb look on their face while the monster beats on them mercilessly.

Are you tired of it happening to you? I sure was. So, I made this addon. Now, whenever that message appears, you'll automatically start attacking your current target again.
Or, alternatively, you can use a skill or item of your choice.

FaceTargetToAttack watches for the warning message "Must face target to attack". (Or, in the German client, the warning message "Ihr müsst euch dem Ziel zuwenden, um es angreifen zu können!".) When triggered, it activates a skill slot, slot 1 by default. (This will be "Attack" for most people.)
You can use the command "/ftta [number]" to change the slot that gets used. "0", "-", and "=" are also accepted for the 10th, 11th, and 12th slots. The slot you choose gets saved, so you won't have to enter it every time.
