CompRaidMarkers

CompRaidMarkers is a lightweight World of Warcraft addon designed for Retail (12.0+) that helps group leaders and assistants quickly apply raid markers to specific players — even with Blizzard’s new restrictions on automatic marking.

Since Patch 12.0, addons can no longer directly place raid markers using protected Blizzard functions. Instead, CompRaidMarkers works the smart way: it scans your group and automatically builds a macro, Based on pre-assigned markers, that you click to apply the marks.

This keeps everything fully compliant with Blizzard’s UI restrictions while still making raid marking fast and painless.

🔧 How It Works (Retail 12.0+ Compatible)

Because Blizzard blocks addons from directly marking players in combat or via code, this addon does not attempt to place raid markers automatically.

Instead, CompRaidMarkers generates a macro using /targetexact and /tm, allowing the player to apply marks manually through a single click — the safe and supported way.

📌 Usage

Step 1: Assign Markers

Open Settings → AddOns → CompRaidMarkers
Add character names and choose their marker icon.

Settings

You can also assign markers by right-clicking a player frame in your group.

Step 2: Scan Group

This will automatically build or update your Mark macro.

Step 3: Apply Marks
