View Full Version : Spread out macro/key binding for the Focusless/Leaderless setup?

I figured I would give this a shot and although I can setup my spread out macro/keybindings with ease now if I PIP switch with keyclone using the leaderless method and attempt to do the formation again everyone goes into the wrong place.
You guys think there is anyway to get all your chars to move a certain way depending on who the leader is ATM, or am I doomed to only have formations as long as my technical "leader" is the leader of the group.

I think it will require a little trial and error with white/blacklisting and which modifiers are sent in Keyclone.

I think the best way to do this would be to treat it as another button in the setup, with its own hotstrings.
For example, if you want your = button to be the + formation.
Hotstrings on ToonA:
= --> FOrA
Q --> FOrB
W --> FOrC
E --> FOrD
S --> FOrE
and so on for each toon, with = going down the list.
Here you come across the problem of not being able to map 2 hotstrings to the same keybind, but since you've got 5 toons and 5 movement keys (=,Q,W,E,S), you can get around that by creatively assigning a different position to each character for each 'main'. (ie ToonA goes left if ToonB is the current main, but right if ToonD is the current main).
You can only set up two formations this way, one with the QWES keys and one with the arrow keys. Can't think of a way to set up more formations atm.

I was trying to create a dynamic spread out based on who the leader was but it's not possible to do combo's with keyclone at first blush...
ClientA
[ -> ASaysSpread1
] -> ASaysSpread2
Q -> BSaysSpread1
S -> BSaysSpread2
E -> CSaysSpread1
S -> CSaysSpread2
S -> DSaysSpread1
ClientB
[ -> BSaysSpread1
] -> BSaysSpread2
Q -> ASaysSpread1
S -> ASaysSpread2
E -> CSaysSpread1
S -> CSaysSpread2
S -> DSaysSpread1
ClientC
[ -> CSaysSpread1
] -> CSaysSpread2
Q -> ASaysSpread1
S -> ASaysSpread2
E -> BSaysSpread1
S -> BSaysSpread2
S -> DSaysSpread1
ClientD
[ -> DSaysSpread1
] -> DSaysSpread2
Q -> ASaysSpread1
S -> ASaysSpread2
E -> BSaysSpread1
S -> BSaysSpread2
S -> CSaysSpread1
The problem is you can't have two hotstrings for move back... on the other hand, it just occured to me I can have two keybinds, and a broadcast key wont be rebroadcast so even if it's on my whitelist it's safe to use... so if change the above listings... instead of moving one back left, one back right and one back, I move one front left, one front right and the third back (or even forward) this would work... if I move forward there's the possibility of stepping "into" the lead character.... which isn't a real problem but it doesn't look as cool...
