Parent.Target not working

The most recent changes you sent to the updater have broken any tells or messages that include the player name. It is now trying to send tells to g1-5 and r1-24 and using those in any messages that include the player name.

Parent.Target is no longer the player name. Could you please let me know what I should replace that with to get the player name back into my messages and to make it send tells again.

I am having this same issue with Parent.Target, Caffan did such a good job of writing it up I'm just quoting. Any thoughts on how to fix or is there a work around ect?

Thanks in advance for any help!

is this tells via the Quickraid buttons? If so can you post a sample of how you have it setup?

<Page Name="Coercer">
<Data Name="Button1" Macro="useabilityonplayer Parent.Target 1945409072
tell Parent.Target Mana Flow On Your Group" Tooltip="(AA) Mana Flow"/>
<Data Name="Button2" Macro="useabilityonplayer Parent.Target 2177252207
tell Parent.Target Channeled Focus On Your Group" Tooltip="(AA) Channeled Focus"/>
<Data Name="Button3" Macro="useabilityonplayer Parent.Target 2421103160" Tooltip="(AA) Touch of Empathy"/>
<Data Name="Button4" Macro="tell Parent.Target Heart&apos;/&apos;Shard please" Tooltip="Heart/Shard request"/>
<Data Name="Button5" Macro="useabilityonplayer Parent.Target 237735835
tell Parent.Target Severing Hate On You" Tooltip="(AA) Sever Hate"/>
</Page>

Here's the code I've tried to use, the Heart/Shard Request was not modified and it doesn't work either.

Thanks again!

Hmm from the looks there is no reason that shouldn't work. I would suggest downloading the quickraid buttons file again and double checking that it isn't broken before then. Other question is this during the game or while in BG's?

BG's do break the quick buttons

Did the group and raid window get changed to use the new r1~/g1~ venerable? if So that is what is breaking the parent.target because now target would be r1~/g~ and not the actual name of the person.

[Papabard]

thats possible. I know Silat reverted the files but not sure if the reverted files got placed onto the updater. In which case some would be having issues with it.

Ok, your suggestion worked for me.

I deleted the file downloaded a fresh quick raid buttons

And this time, didn't use Notepad, I went and got Notepad++

And Voila tells work again.

Thanks for the help!!!
