Trying to find addon/script to switch keybind for alts as slaves or solo run.

[Warlock]

I have the Belkin n52, I'm three boxing a Paladin/Priest/Warlock. The warlock was my old main and I really enjoy playing him. Thing is, I don't want to just relegate him to slave status. I want to be able to play these toons solo as well as slaved to the paladin. I can't seem to find a way to easily switch keybind profiles. I've tried different WoW folders, but all the keybinds are stored serverside. Is there a way to turn that off? Is there an addon? Is there a way to create a different keybind profile and then load either one with a script? Please help!

I've been searching on and off for at least a month. If I've missed it - I am truly sorry. Feel free to call me out on it. =) Just for the love of God. Hlep! <--- Intentional Hlep.

Thanks!

I'd suggest going for a better macro set up, like a focus set up or better yet (though more complicated) the FTL set up. It allows you to leader/solo with any of your chars without the need to change ui or keybinds.

Thanks! I hate to be a pain, but after forum surfing for so long, all words have lost meaning, trying to figure out if they apply to me or not.

Would you mind giving me just a few short examples? Or a link?

Dammit. I forgot to mention - I'm on a mac. So all I have access to is Clonekeys. Does that effect your method?

I only know how to do FTL with keyclone, however you can still use the focus set up. Here's a rundown on how it works.

1. Set up focus keys

If you have four toons, you need four keys, people tend to like using F1-F# for this, make sure you've unbound them (standard they're targeting keys). Bind them to macro's like this:

On toon1:
F1
/clearfocus

F2
/clearfocus
/focus toon2

F3
clearfocus
/focus toon3

F4
/clearfocus
/focus toon4

Toon2:

F1
/clearfocus
/focus toon1

F2
/clearfocus

F3
/clearfocus
/focus toon3

etc, for all toons. So when you press F1, all toons have your toon1 focused, and your toon1 has no focus. F2, all toons apart from toon2 have toon 2 focused, toon 2 has no focus. (starting every macro with /clearfocus is for debugging, it can and will screw up if you don't.)

Then for every skill that requires targeting, be it friend or foe, you need to place a macro that looks like this.

/cast [target=focustarget, harm][harm] Harmful Spell

What this does is if the toon has a focus, it will check the target of the focus, and if the target is an enemy, use spell on that target. If the target does not have a focus, cast it on the toon's own target.

For a slightly advanced healign button you could do this.

/cast [target=focustarget, help][target=focustargettarget, help][help][target=targettarget, help] Heal/Buff Spell

What this one does is it first checks to see if you have a focus and if your focus has a friendly target, buff/heal that target. If you have a focus but the focus has an enemy target, buff/heal that enemy target's target (tank of the mob). If you do not have a focus, do it on that character's friendly target. If the toon you're on does not have a friendly target, buff/heal the target of the toon's target (tank of the mob). This order is essential, if you swap around the order you might end up healing the friendly target of a friendly target, etc. You don't want that! So don't change the order. :p Focustarget -> focustargettarget -> target -> targettarget.

A casting macro in this fashion will always cast on the first 'test' that comes true. 'test' meaning the stuff in brackets.
/cast [test1][test2][test3] Spell
If test 1 is false but 2 is true, it will choose 2 and skip 3.

This way, by focusing a friendly player that character will function as 'an alt'. But if that character does not have a focus, it can function perfect solo/as a leader.

what are your macros like for your slave? also... do you just want to switch actionbars? maybe that's all you really need.
