I play a healer in Classic and I’ve just started doing WSG.
In retail, when I click on the name of a FRIENDLY team member, he is highlighted on the minimap, but this does not appear to be the case in Classic, which makes it hard to locate him/her.
Can anyone tell me if it is possible in Classic and if so, how?
And if not, can anyone recommend a simple addon that would allow me to highlight a FRIENDLY target on the minimap?
(Please stick to topic, I am not interested in raid targetting or in targetting enemy players, my post is only about highlighting targeted friendly players on the minimap in BGs)
Thank you 
What I hate is that even if you are in a raid group you only see the ppl who is in your group on the minimap. is it bugged or something?
You only see people in your party in the minimap. You see the entire raid in both Map and battle map. I agree it should be adjusted to show all the raid although it’s currently working as it was during vanilla.
Hi Gurlie … I guess your reply is aimed at Qickie and not me. My original post is not about Raids or about seeing enemy players.
I am trying to find out how to highlight a FRIENDLY player in BGs and see him/her on the minimap.
Yea, you can not, unless they are in the same party (not raid) as you. If you are in AV for example, you will see in the minimap only the 4 people in your party, you can’t see the other 35.
Gurlie, I’m not sure you understood my question.
In Warsong Gulch you can see all 10 of your team members, each member represented by a blue dot (so I can see all 10 blue dots).
When I want to heal a friendly target I need to know where they are on the map (which of the blue dots is my target). When I click on their nameplate they are not highlighted, so I have no idea which blue dot is my target.
If it is not possible to highlight them using the WoW interface, do you know if there is a Classic WoW addon that solves the problem ?

You mean having a different texture on your current target than on other members? Then no, that was introduced with MoP if I’m not mistaken, and addons can hardly replicate that
Addons can put points on the map/minimap (e.g. Tomtom). I’d think something like what OP asks for may also be possible.
Yes Gurlie, that is what I mean. For example, if I target friendly player X in the battleground, he/she will be represented by a different colour dot than the blue dots of all other team members.
Ah yea but points are static though, I guess “following” the current target is difficult or near to impossible, as far as I know you require coords to place a texture on the minimap, not sure if you can constantly update those position especially reading other players x,y position which might be unable to be read through ‘legit’ api.

I agree with Gurlie, I am not 100% sure of that and have no proofs to back my claims, but I believe it is not possible at all
