Cast [Spell] @ target then make target = focus?

[Warfaryn-silvermoon]

Hi people

I recently saw an arena macro that would cast [Spell name] at target then make the target be the focus.

which seemed like a good way to insta-focus in arena while doing something else (dispel mage, for instance)

so I get to:
#showtooltip
/stopcasting
/cast [@target, harm, nodead] [ ] Spell Name

which is the baseline, but no idea how to instruct it to make the target just hit into focus.

thank you

Hi, you can use /focus to focus on your current target. Or /focus [options] similar to /cast options. Note that if you have no active target and you execute the macro, your current focus will clear.

Conditional Focus Cast

Shift: Clear Focus
Alt: Set/Cast on Focus
Default: Cast on Target

#showtooltip
/focus [mod:alt,@focus,dead] [mod:alt,@focus,noexists]
/clearfocus [@focus,dead] [mod:alt,@focus,noexists] [mod:shift]
/cast [mod:alt,@focus,exists] [] SPELL

Or if you only want it to cast on focus:

#showtooltip
/focus [@focus,dead] [@focus,noexists]
/clearfocus [@focus,dead] [@focus,noexists] [mod:shift]
/cast [@focus,harm,nodead] [] SPELL

Brilliant, thank you both
