The end goal is to get the player address so I can interact with it, I was planning to get the player object then get the address from that

No.  I have a string with a player name.  I need to target that player, not in the party.

The player needing to be targeted is constantly changing and isn't known initially, so I can't make a macro for it.  Can you cast a spell on a specific player with LUA? That would work as well.  I am trying to make a healing fightclass that supports raids, since raids are not supported by the bot, atleast in WOTLK, I can get the correct players name that needs to be healed via LUA, but I just need to cast a spell on him.

Do you play retail? Because I messed around with 

Party.GetPartyHomeAndInstance();

and it didn't work for me.  I got the playername of who I need to heal, just need to know how to target him or get the WoWPlayer object with just a playername

what is healer type?

[iMod 99]

Get player object by name:

WoWPlayer player = ObjectManager.GetObjectWoWPlayer().Where(p => p.IsValid && p.Name == "PlayerName").FirstOrDefault();

 

Target player:

Interact.InteractGameObject(player.GetBaseAddress, true);

Cast spell at the specified target:

string targetName = "blubb";
int spellID = 999;
Lua.LuaDoString($"CastSpellByID({spellID}, \"{targetName}\")");

 

Hope it helps.

Thanks it does.  Does 

p.IsValid

check if online?  Also, CastSpellByID is protected, you are able to call protected LUA functions through wrobot?

It checks if the object you got is valid to interact with.

Yes you can call protected lua functions.
