Special Follow Macro

[Woodster1]

Actually i use a follow macro with "nodead" in it on my 4 shamies, so if my main toon isnt on they will follow the next shamy in that macro.

/target [target=xxxx, nodead][target=xxx, nodead]
/follow
/cast [nomounted, nostance] Water Shield

But this seems to work only when the shamy has died or if hes offline.

Since there's no out of range check, how can i make so that i can use it even the shamy isnt dead or offline.

with the normal 'nodead'-method you can't, but what you could do is using some of the following methods:

- FTL
- focus

Nah, neither of those automatically adjusts for out-of-range conditions, which I think is what he's asking about.

I think the OP was using the term "out of range" to mean if the macro knows if they're dead or just simply offline.

Jep thats the problem. If i log off my main, it works perfectly.

If i log him on, lets say hes in dalaran and all my slaves are in taunka village, the macro doenst work anymore.

I'd suggest just using a different system. Focus systems seem easy enough, though I enjoy FTL.

[olipcs]

well of course neighter of them realy test for out of range (which is impossible to do in combat).

I suggested FTL or focus-system, because with both you can specify your leading toon quite easy, and there are no preassumptions (like the leader is dead).

With FTL you chose the 'leader' simply by the window you are playing and with the fcus-system you set your desired leader as focus.

Or you could use Jamba and have different /jamba-follow macros on the different toons (this is actualy what i'm doing)

[Woodster1]

Sounds good indead. Just read that focusless leaderless thread 1 day ago.

Ill try it out.

Thx guys :)

Edit: Using Jamba, but not that long. Where do i set up different follow macros?

[olipcs]

For jamba i use the:

/jamba-follow target <target> <tag>

command and have different Versions of it bound to my follow key on all my alts.
For example on ToonA I use: '/jamba-follow ToonA all'
on ToonB: '/jamba-follow ToonB all' and so on... (its like an FTL, but without FTL-Code ;) )

[Woodster1]

Ah great, works pretty good.

Thanks :)

/jamba-follow target <target> <tag>

on ToonB: '/jamba-follow ToonB all' and so on... (its like an FTL, but without FTL-Code ;) )

Using HKN. Can you add these to the window switching keys? (F1-F5)

[olipcs]

of course you can, simply invoke your 'follow-key'whenever you swith a window.

Example: Lets say you use the following code for windowswitching:


<Hotkey F1>
<ResizeAndPosition WoW1 WoW2 WoW3 WoW4 WoW5>
<Hotkey F2>
<ResizeAndPosition WoW2 WoW1 WoW3 WoW4 WoW5>
<Hotkey F3>
<ResizeAndPosition WoW3 WoW2 WoW1 WoW4 WoW5>
<Hotkey F4>
<ResizeAndPosition WoW4 WoW2 WoW3 WoW1 WoW5>
<Hotkey F5>
<ResizeAndPosition WoW5 WoW2 WoW3 WoW4 WoW1>
and you have bound your follow to 'f' then you could simply alter your code to:


<Hotkey F1>
<ResizeAndPosition WoW1 WoW2 WoW3 WoW4 WoW5>
<Sendlabel w1>
<Key f>
<Hotkey F2>
<ResizeAndPosition WoW2 WoW1 WoW3 WoW4 WoW5>
<Sendlabel w2>
<Key f>
<Hotkey F3>
<ResizeAndPosition WoW3 WoW2 WoW1 WoW4 WoW5>
<Sendlabel w3>
<Key f>

<Hotkey F4>
<ResizeAndPosition WoW4 WoW2 WoW3 WoW1 WoW5>
<Sendlabel w4>
<Key f>

<Hotkey F5>
<ResizeAndPosition WoW5 WoW2 WoW3 WoW4 WoW1>
<Sendlabel w5>
<Key f>

From the no focus manifesto, I'm using:


/target [target=ToonA, nodead, help, exists]; [target=ToonB, nodead, help, exists]; [target=ToonC, nodead, help, exists]; [target=ToonD, nodead, help, exists]; [target=ToonA, exists]
/follow

If the group is split up in a BG, they don't target an out of range toon.
