followers not assisting and sometime lost focus

[dsathira]

need advice here : I am using keyclone

currently having Quad group 1 P 3 L

lately I noticed that my locks usually not target/attack the target selected by my main priest. I don't know why. I have no problem with my Quad Shammies.

target main macro :

/target primera
/focus target


assist macro

/target focus
/follow
/assist
/stopcasting

any ideas ?

I'm not sure if it would make much difference as it just sounds like latency, but you can try:

/follow focus
/assist focus
/stopcasting

or:

/follow [target=focus]
/assist [target=focus]
/stopcasting

[dsathira]

don't think it would be because latency tho, did not have any latency problem at all

i am trying to first marco set you posted, thanks for that.. see how it goes.

also i am using multibox addon together with keyclone, tried disable it and not helping tho so i ruled out the conflict possibility between the 2 programs

[dsathira]

MEH doesn't seem to work

when priest target only 1 lock react, other 2 i have to keep pressing assist macro

Are these all running from one machine?

I run 2 of my toons on a seperate computer, and they are sometimes slower at picking up the target.

Sounds like the focusing is getting messed up.

Try this -- pseudocode, mind you, I'm at worx ;)

Character 1:

/focus Character1 [target=focus,exists,nodead] // this will set the target of your other characters to focus on Character 1, if that character is alive and is near Characters 2-4

/focus Character2 [target=focus,exists,nodead] // ** note: I want to say there's a stop-gap between focusing characters 1 and 2, but I'm not at my pc right now.



Once you have the character focusing setup, copy and paste the macro to your other characters. Each of them should have the exact same macro (creates a leaderless setup without all of the hassle, because if Character1 is dead, just swap over to Character 2 - all of your characters will follow and assist character 2, do this until char 2 is dead... go to char 3, etc.)

2nd macro:

/follow focus (do this on all of your chracters) . ...



STOP! Now hit macro 1, followed by macro 2.... Did all of your characters start following the main character? If yes, then proceed. If no, then one of your characters aren't getting the correct focus.

3rd macro:

/assist focus



... That should be it.

[dsathira]

/focus Character1 [target=focus,exists,nodead]

character1 = name of my character right ?

i did put at character1 and my main char name... nothing happens :-(

[Rin]

Hey, nothing is supposed to happen when you focus, but only when you press the 2nd macro... I'll get you the exact macro once I get home in a bit.

[Frosty]

/focus Character1 [target=focus,exists,nodead]

character1 = name of my character right ?

i did put at character1 and my main char name... nothing happens :-(It doesn't even set the focus??

[dsathira]

nope it does not even target my main

something is totally screwed with my wows ;-P

oh i noticed something wierd not sure if it's related. I have pet macro

/assist focus
/petattack

only 2 of my locks have void up, another have imp for bloodpact

the 2 locks with voids, when i let pets attack first those 2 locks also, sometime, cast spell when my main casts. The lock with imp does nothing unless I press assist macro.

is there a way to clean reset the macro set ? per characters if possible ? Or if you have any other suggestion beside delete all macro would be even better.

btw, i am running 4 instances on 1 pc : Using Quad Q6600, 4 GM ram, 9600gt.

Frosty/Lin : whenever you have time, if you are at work --- really understand ;-) seeing you trying to help is appreciated enough :thumbsup:

[dsathira]

as frosty suggested on another post

so what unit frame addon you guys are using ? the one that doesn't cause assist macro to screw ya over ?

beside i really need lightweight unit frame addon, the one came with duex addon complilation is kinda cheesy.

I think the delay on slaves assisting is ok, no?
Because:
Focus targets "Mob A"
Server refreshs "Focus Targeted Mob A" Slaves requests assistance to Focus Server sends "He is targeting Mob A" Slaves targets Mob AI have the little delay on all my toons, so sometimes I need to press the DPS key 2, 3, 5 times until they target/start casting the target.
If this isn't normal, then I will keep looking this thread for a solution.

EDITED: I use X-Perl unit-frames, it shows real time party/raid:
targets, target target, target target target, focus target, focus target target.

And WOW your computer is the same as mine :P (Q6600, 4GB, 9600gt).

I never understood the /assist thing.

Try have one macro like:
/target Character1(replace with charname)
/focus target

and then you have 1 macros for each spell:
/cast [target=focustarget, harm, nodead] Shadow Bolt

Fail-safe. :P And if you want to see who's your character's focus, just type /target focus and it will target that person. No need for "focus-frame".

/assist focus
/cast Something


/cast [target=focustarget] something

assuming you have your leader targeted (help target)

/assist target (this will Take Your Target's Target , the same as below)
/cast something


/cast [target=targettarget] something

They work all the same way and purpose and get all the same delay (as the proccess of refreshing, etc is the same). ;)
