Midnight Bug:
Currently, the 12.0.1 release of Midnight has a bug in it that appears to only affect this addon when entering a dungeon. When the macro this uses is executed at the start of dungeons, some of the icons aren't applied and the error message "You can't do that right now" is displayed. This occurs with Target Marker Icon Party and also when manually typing "/tm [@party3] 6" as well. I've submitted a bug report to Blizzard but I can't fix this. Hopefully, Blizzard will fix this soon. In the meantime, you can apply the missing icons by right clicking the player's health bar.
Major Change:
As you may know, the 12.0.0 release of retail has broken a huge number of addons. Target Marker Icon Party was also broken. Setting raid icons in lua code used SetRaidTarget which has now become a protected function that cannot be used by addon developers. I can still do this, but the only possible way is to use SecureAction buttons to run macros. Consequently, Target Marker Icon Party now uses a new small frame that has 3 buttons on it. The new usage description is now below.
This addon adds a small frame with three buttons that will allow you to apply raid icons to party members that don't have them. It will leave unchanged any raid icons that are already assigned to your party. To do this:
While out of combat, click the left button with a magnifier glass to find which players need which icons. This will generate the macros that the other two buttons use. SecureAction buttons cannot have their macro text changed while in combat so this button can only be pressed outside of combat.
To apply icons, click the middle button that has raid icons on it. This can be done in or out of combat. (If you click this a second time it would try to re-apply the icons which would actually remove the icons. Don't use this button to remove icons because if someone manually removed their icon, clicking this a second time would re-apply the icon they had just removed.)
To remove icons, click the right button with the red x on it. This can be done in or out of combat. This will remove only the icons that you applied. If someone already had an icon before you applied icons, their icon will be left alone.
If you want to hide the small frame, issue the command:
/tmip
To show the small frame after it is hidden, simply type /tmip again.
The state of hide/show will be remembered and persist from game to game so you can leave this hidden and only show it when you need it if you want.
Target Marker Icon Party will assign the following icons in this order: circle, then triangle, then diamond, then square, then star.
You can move the small Target Marker Icon Party frame by dragging the outside of the frame containing the buttons. This addon will remember where you dragged the frame to and put it there again when you reenter the game.
I've been in parties where we all knew each other and we all liked icons on all of us so we could locate each other easier. This may be especially useful when one of your party members is a newbie. In mythic dungeons with pick up groups where you're all strangers, this is meant as a temporary assignment that you can remove later. Why would you want to remove them? Some people prefer to not have target marker icons. If you randomly assign target marker icons to your whole party without good reason, your teammates might be unhappy with you.
Advanced Usage:
If you want some other icons assigned in some other order, simply give this addon a 5 digit number that gives the icons you want to use in the order you want to use them. For example:
/tmip 24358
will assign circle, then triangle, then diamond, then moon, then skull when you next use the magnifier button.
This program will remember your new settings.
The order of assignment is player, party1, party2, party3, party4
--1 Star
--2 Circle
--3 Diamond
--4 Triangle
--5 Moon
--6 Square
--7 Cross (X)
--8 Skull
