I was going through my list of pre-defined button types and thought I might add another one, but am unsure if people would use it or want it. I need to take a look at some of the secure action template code again and see if I can do what I think I can do, but here's the idea:
If you create a button type of "Decurse Control," it will create the decursing button with whatever your decursing spell is, and will have three clicking options. Left-click would cast it on your target, middle-click would be on yourself, and right click would be the "strange" one. My idea for right click is that it will be populated with a list of targets (1 for each member in your party/raid). Every time you click it, it will target the current member on this internal list and cast the spell, and then move to the next person on the list. This would be done with state transitions, so in theory it can work. However, I never tried to set different targets per state, so I'm unsure if that will work. If I can only set one target, and it's the same for all states, then this idea will not work.
Also of note, if someone does not have a debuff on them, you will get a "failed" message (which I will surpress). So, to make sure everyone in your raid is cured, you'll need to hit that button once per person. Yes, button mashing FTW. *sigh* But, it's a cheap way to do decursing, and there are people out there that don't use "Decursive" as it is, so this might make their life a little easier.
I kinda like the idea of being in a 5-man group, having the boss hit us with a spell, and me only needing to click the button 5 times to take care of the debuff. *shrug*
What do you think? Obviously, you don't need to use the button type and can just assign your decurse spell and use it like normal. I'm just checking is people would find the right-click function good and/or useful.

For what it's worth, i use grid to help me with my healing and decursing.
In this proposed system, if you were on the 10th person of the raid (out of 25) and the 8th person got decursed, would you have to mash the button another 23 times to decurse raid member number 8?

Yeah, you would have to mash it. It's really silly, and I doubt people would even want to use it in a raid. A 5 man group might make sense. I only plan to offer it as a small bonus for people who want to use it. I would still prefer for people to use Decursive, since it will be much more accurate. Hense, the question proposed.

Happyburger, I deleted your name from the membership section, so you can try again. I know that some email services block the message board's emails, so you might want to create a hotmail or gmail account just to register. I don't send out emails to the message board people (only the people who email me and ask to be but on the mailing list), so you won't need that temporary email account after the authorization email. I wish these message boards would let me add users

I dont think that such type of button is needed. Manual decursing is much more of effective and shows skeelz

That's fine. I'll make a note somewhere on my desk that you are "kinda" registered on the message boards so you'll have a place in the credits of LS. I mean it when I say it: If you're name is on the member list of this message board, your name will be in the credits. That's 45 people so far

Left-click would cast it on your target, middle-click would be on yourself, and right click would be the "strange" one. As long as the clicks are able to be set by us then I'm all for it, I personally don't have a "3-button" mouse per say, Mine's 2 buttton with a clickable mouse wheel in the middle, and two side buttons that are recognized by the computer as 4 and 5, so I'd prefer to left click to cure target, and right click to cure self.

Try being a druid in the spider wing of Naxx, where there are two different spiders in the same pull, one poisons and the other curses, and it hits multiple targets at once. I don't recall any current fights of such nasty curing complexity, but the patch they broke decursive was horrid for raiding druids.

Yeah, you'll be able to set them to whatever click you want. Also, as a side note: have your ever considered changing the mapping of your mouse buttons with your mouse's setup utility to have your button 4 or 5 be button 3? =) My mouse also has two buttons and a wheel, but the wheel can be clicked in, pressed-in on the left side, and pressed-in on the right side. I just mapped the press-in on the right-side as button 3 and it's amazing how good it feels. ;D I have posted on numerous occasions though I don't know if you remember me or not. I would very much like to be a past of that list you have as well b/c I have the same problem as happyburger. Would you like for me to delete your account that you tried to make, so you can try again? If your email service lets you, you might need to disable it's spam blocker so you can get the mail that this message board sends out. If we can't get it to work for you, I'll still have your name listed in the beta testing credits. As for receiving updates whenever I send out my mailing list, just email moongazemods @ gmail.com and I'll add you to the list
