Alright first thing I wanna get outta the way is the fact that I can't spell and I don't know grammer.. fell free to correct me and I'll clean it up haha.. Anyway lets get started here
Now this instant change I do also works with pip mmmmm pip :D Anyway heres a link to get your pip set up if you don't understand that, and for those of you who don't know what it is.. it allows you to switch spots with windows when you have windows everywhere.. HOWTo - Set up Maximizer (Updated PiP) ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=8717') compliments of Diamndzngunz ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forum/js/undefined')
Alright after that lets move on to your macros, to make it very simple were gonna make them global insted of spasific persons so we don't get all complicaited.. For your simple macros for attack and such just use
/cleartarget (clears any previous targets)
/assist party1 (assists party leader)
/cast spell (works for both hastile and friendly spells)
alright now for your main charactor put all your normal spells on your main bar and how ever else you have it set up.. Once you do that I now want you to make him all the same macros incase you want to switch just because.. I do it to confuse people in arenas an such I switch mains every queue and sometimes in the middle of gameplay.. it really fucks with them..
Alright once you did that go to your backup guy and put all the macros on his number 1 bar and all his normal spells and such on his number 2 bar.. (now I use the bottom right/left bars and both side bars so in this explination I am refering to the only 2 bars left where 1 - = usually sit there are always 2 left thats bar 1 and bar 2 when you press down)
Keep in mind to make sure your macro hotkeys and normal spells on both bars are setup the same..
alright once you get all those set up lets move on to actually changing the leaders. Now if you don't use pip and prefer to just select the window yourself or turn your head or w/e thats fine.. But because I use pip I'm gonna go with that.
Lets start by hotkeying our window switches just as Diamndzngunz ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forum/js/undefined')explains in his pip explination, Then what were gonna do in wow is make a few macros
Now lets use 2 windows as examples we'll call them main and backup windows. now say you set your main window as F11 and backup as F12, What your going to do is make a macro to switch your leader from the main window charactor to your backup charactor. So lets say you press F12 to swap windows your going to bind a macro to F12 saying the following..
on the leader input this macro
/script PromoteToLeader("backup's name") (makes main give backup leader)
/swapactionbar 1 2 (this will swap your action bars from 1 to 2..)
now on the backup char input bound to F12
/swapactionbar 2 1 (swaps macros to main abilities)
There now when you swap windows and charactors your main chars abilities are all macroed to assist your backup char who now has all his normal spells and abilities out and ready to go.. and since you changed over leadership the main will now follow the backup and assist the backup.. now be sure to use the same macros for F11 to reverse main back to leader and back up back to being backup..
so now you press a button and BAM 100% reversed twik it as you wish and enjoy the freedom of not having to worry bout who's leading :thumbsup:
