Switchable macro sets with variables - Addon - Jamba-Macro

[Jafula]

I've been hacking away at Jamba-Macro.

You need:

JambaDev (0.5) Download (http://wow.jafula.com/remository?func=startdown&id=19)

This is alpha quality stuff and there are few places where you will get lua errors if you click some buttons without having a valid selection. Basically some buttons are not disabled when they should be. There is no validation on the names of macro and variable sets which should not have spaces in them.

Its much more stable now.

I want to know if:

a) Anyone thinks they would use this,
b) How to make it better.

How it works

The macros are stored within Jamba-Macro and are built on the fly. You cannot see their icons or cooldown status.

Macro Sets

Initial you create a set of macros and give them a name. Within this set, you can add and remove macros. You can make as many sets of macros as you like. They must have unique names and the names cannot have spaces in them. You can make a new macro set by copying an existing one.

Macros

The macros inside a macro set have 4 properties. A name, a tag, the macro text (the command) and a key binding.

Macro Name

The macro name can be anything you like (numbers and letters only).

Macro Tag

Only characters with this tag will enable this macro. You can put a ! in front of the tag to mean everyone expect the one with that tag.

Say I had 3 toons, toon1, toon2, toon3, tagged appropriately.

A tag of toon1 would get toon1.

A tag of !toon1 would get toon2 and toon3.

Macro Text

The macro text is like a regular macro, except that you can put variables in place of regular text. Variables are distinguished by being wrapped in #. An example:

/cast [target=#player2#] #spellheal#

in this macro there are two variables; player2 and spellheal

Macro Key

To use a macro, you must assign it a key. The key bound to each macro, does not affect your regular key bindings, but the Jamba-Macro key will take precedence over your regular key bindings.

Variable Sets

The macro above with its variables cannot be used by wow. The variables need to be substituted with a real player and a proper spell name. As with macro sets, you can make variable sets. Variable set names cannot have spaces in them.

Variables

Each variable set contains one or more variables. Each variable has a name and a value. The variable names should match up to the variables in your macros. The variable values are real values. For the example,

player2 = Sairam
spellheal = Flash Heal

You can use a tag in place of a variable - for instance the master tag #master#, will replace itself with the name of the current Jamba master.

In case of conflict, the tag value will override the variable value.

If you use a tag that has more the one character associated with it, the tag will be replaced with the first character name the tag system finds.

Variable Tag

Only characters with this tag will enable this variable. You can have the same variable several times, each with its own tag.

Putting it all together

I'm going to make 1 macro set with 1 macro in it.

My macro set is called: heals

My 1 macro in this set is as follows: /cast [target=#player2#] #spellheal# (this macro is bound to key F2)

I have 2 variable sets; 1 called normal and the other called pug

normal variable set has these values:
player2 = Sairam
spellheal = Greater Heal

pug variable set has these values:
player2 = Bob
spellheal = Flash Heal

Using the macros

The format of the command is (and should only be run out of combat):

/jamba-macro use <macro set name> <variable set name> <tag>

So to use my macro with the normal variable set I type

/jamba-macro use heals normal

Now when I press F2 I cast Greater Heal on Sairam.

Now I type

/jamba-macro use heals pug

and when I press F2 this time I cast Flash Heal on Bob.

Using the macros with /click

You can /click any macro, by prefixing the macroname with JMB_

e.g. /click JMB_

Notes

At the moment you can only use key binds to cast macros. I am thinking about allowing /click macro name, but this method would take up more resources as I could not recycle frames easily. Let me know if you would like to /click the macro names.

You can try /click JambaMacroFrame1, /click JambaMacroFrame2, etc. but every time you use a macro set, the buttons get recycled and there is no guarantee you will get the same macro again with that button.

You can have as many macros, variables, macro sets and variable sets as you like. Remember each macro set can have a lot of macros in it (not just the one as in my example).

Let me know what you think...

[Sanderu]

wow, this looks really cool. I'm not too sure if I actually need this at the moment. It looks pretty easy to set-up though.

I'm currently going to try out Jamba dev first, when I get used to that a little bit I'll have a go with this one. Thanks for your hard work :)

[OogaJiggaWooga]

Could this not be used to set up another option for FTL? I know you state that the variable should be set out of combat, but if they could be performed in combat then a single macro bound to changing the leader variable (like you would with focus based but without actually using focus, to free it up for targetting purposes).

[leroyreborn]

not sure what i'm doing wrong but could not get the macro stuff to show up in game. not sure if i'm just not putting the files from the Jamba-Macro 0.5 (http://wow.jafula.com/remository?func=startdown&id=18) in the right place or what? but dose look very useful. been working on 2 new teams so was going to give it a try building macros for them

Blizzard will not let addons change macros during combat, so while a nice idea, unfortunately its not going to happen in practice.

Jamba-Macro will only show up if you have the Jamba-Dev I linked to in the first post installed as well. To access the screens you need type /jamba-macro.

Heh, thanks, I've been meaning to write this for a while; and I'm slowly working out all the ways I can use it!

[Slats]

OK reading it - it sounds cool. What I might use it for is setting up new teams.

I use 5 macros bound F8 - F12. These are also linked to my PiP Swapping in Keyclone. All my characters make F8 set my focus to my main, and used to do a /jamba-master Slats but they are all broken now since JambaDev.

I'd love to be able to do something like have my macro set where I can copy it, change the names of the mains and the slaves and then push them out to my clones so I dont have to setup macros on all my characters or waste bars slots. Also my big button which accepts trades, group invites, rez,s etc if I could instantly have those all setup on every new team using macro sets somehow.

I guess if I could write a macro like

/focus MASTER
/focus CLONE1
etc

And then when I built my teams in Jamba I could tag the various masters, and the various clone 1's. Then when I deployed a macro set it would simpley populate the macros with who was online in those slots at the time.

That way if I want to swap my Pally for say a DK, everyones macros continue to function, my big buttons continue to function, etc and I have very little setup to do to get a team working other than adding them into the pool of availible characters and tag what function they perform.

Sorry if this doesn't make any sense. I hope it does.

[Jafula]

Ah, my bad, the current Jamba-Dev and Jamba-Macro are incompatible as I discovered trying to set it up on a different computer than my development box. That'll be why nothing works. I'll put the fix out with Jamba Dev Update 8.

Ah, the setmaster thing, I think I changed it for some reason. Try

/jamba-team iammaster <tag>

This is definitely doable. At the moment, Jamba-Macro does not use character tags, but I will change it to process them.

If a tag is available on a character that is the same as a variable name, the tag will take priority over the variable (if there even is a variable with the same name). If more than one toon has the same tag, one of those toons will get put in the macro, but the other will not.

The great thing about Jamba 0.5 is that the master tag follows the Jamba master and is unique across all the toons.

This update that uses tags will come out with Jamba-Dev 0.5 Update 8. Look foward to our feedback once you have had a chance to play with it.

[Jafula]

Some changes in with Jamba-Dev Update 8.

Can now:

/click JMB_macroname where macroname is the name of a maco
use tags as variable replacements - i.e. #master# for the character with the jamba master tag.
macros now have a tag and only characters with the same tag will enable the macro.
will now check that names are only made up of letters and numbers.

[defactoman]

So i used Macro: Macros to setup the following Macro in Update 8

Macro Set:
Shaman

Macros for Shaman:
Watershield

Macro Usage: /click JMB_Watershield
Macro Name: Watershield
Macro Tag: All
Macro Text: /cast water shield

I've done the following:
In chat: /click JMB_Watershield - Nothing happens
In Macro which is dragged to a button slot: /click JMB_Watershield - Nothing happens
Bound the macro 'j' - nothing happens

I'm not sure what im doing wrong. The character in question has the 'all' tag

Also, /cast water shield works in other macros or typing it into the chat window.



Edit - got it working:

It seems I have to make everything a variable or it doesn't work. In the example above I was only able to get it to work after creating a variable like so:
Variable Set: normal
Variable name: watershield
Variable Value: water shield

Macro Set: Shaman
Macro Name: watershield
Macro Value: /cast #watershield#

is this the expected reaction, or should it work if I type in a basic macro?

[Jafula]

Please get update 9, it contains a bug fix that was stopping the macro stuff from working properly.

You shouldn't need variables to get it to work. Normal macros should be fine. You do need a variable set, even if it is empty.

To get the macros built in order to use them, make sure you click the use button at the top of the Macro: Macros options. You should see the macros being built up in the chat log.

[thinus]

Holy crap batman. So there is no limit to the amount of macros? JAMBA replaces the variables and writes the macros to WoW?

I *have* to give this a shot. I have macros with multiple modifiers in them to reduce the amount of macros I make. With this it would make things much easier as well as the ability to slot in PuGs, add a variable for their name and then they just become part of my rotations.

Neat.

[Jafula]

That's correct Robin; let me know what you think, if anything needs improving, I'd like to know! If you cannot work it out, please post here and I'll help you out.

I use it exclusively now for my teams, I have all the macros bound to keys, which means that when I add a new toon, I don't need to update any keybindings. The toon automatically gets a trade macro, mount macro, follow macro, master switching macro and depending on what class, various dps / heal macros.

I'd love to know what you are using it for.

[Fizzler]

I have been wanting to try out the macro feature and I am sure you are anxious to get some feedback I would love to see some additional macro examples or use cases. I am just not creative enough to see how I can really take full advantage of this.

I do admit it seems to have a bit of a learning curve for me I am sure I am over complicating it.

[Jafula]

I am away from home for the next few days. I will post some examples when I get back.

[TheFallenOne]

I would find it incredibly handy if you could assign a default macro/variable set to each toon in the Jamba-Team settings, which they automatically apply and use on startup.

I've currently got an "Initialization" macro setup on all my toons that I use to set them to the proper variables and macros, but it would let me remove a binding and clean things up a lot if they loaded the macros/vars automatically... Especially since it's the only macro I have to manage outside Jamba. :D

P.S., loving it so far!!

[Jafula]

The toons will remember the last variable and macro set that were using and apply those on startup again. (Make sure you are using the latest update of Jamba 0.5.)

Will this be enough for you? I could add another configuration page so you could assign a variable set and macro set to a toon, but I want to know if the auto loading of the previous used sets will fulfill your requirements. Let me know what you would like.

[Ghallo]

What's the limit on the Macro length? Macaroon has a limit of 1024 for it's macros ... does Jamba-Macro have the same limit? Additionally, it does not appear that /script commands can be run from Jamba -
/script SetView(4);SetView(4);
for example does not work.

[Mokoi]

OK, I'm a long time multiboxer, and long time macro IDIOT.

Here's what I would like to see happen with this macro thing (and, your new jamba looks GREAT for it, maybe you can tell me if this is possible.)

OK, so for my team, I am currently using a macro like the following bound to each of my "leader" buttons: (F4-F8)

/target "Acct1Toon1"
/target "Acct1Toon2"
/target "Acct1Toon3"
/target "Acct1Toon4"
/focus
/follow
/assist

etc for all 5 of my accounts

the reason I have this, is to save on macros, where I used to use "/focus "Act1Toon1" style macros, which work well except need a new macro for EVERY toon in my extensive list (going on 24 toons now).

OK, here's what I would like to see, an ability to still use an active "/focus Act1Toon1" in macros somewhere, and I assume I can somehow use "/focus #master#" and then I can simply make a macro for making each toon the master and pushing team settings?

The reason I want /focus "toonname" is because with

/target "toonname"
/focus

vehicle focus doesn't work, and I run WG a lot, as well as many tournament dailies and ToCs so my vehicle use is essential. Someone with better knowledge of this system can tell me how to make this work, I would really appreciate it.

The character limit is 1024 for macros in Jamba-Macro. I have /script SetView(4);SetView(4); working fine in my Jamba-Macros.

Remember that after you create/change a macro, you need to "use" the macro set in order for Jamba-Macro to build the macros.

You can issue a command from one toon to make all the toons use a certain macro set and variable set.

/jamba-macro use default default all

The first default refers to the macro set, the second default to the variable set and all is the tag that every toon has, so all toons in the team will run the use command.

Also make sure that you have bound a key to the macro or are using it in a /click JMB_xxxxxxx manner.

You can check that the macro gets built the way you want by selecting it and clicking the show button. The macro will be printed to the default chat window.

Clicked "Setviews" and under "Macros" I clicked "Add" - Typed a name "SV4"
Under Macro Text I entered: /script SetView(4);SetView(4);
Clicked Accept
Went to Macaroon, edited a button, added /click JMB_SV4
Click button ... no joy.
So... between step 4 and 5 do I need to do the following?
<enter> type "/jamba-macro use Setviews default all" <enter>

And yes, I know this macro isn't ... useful ... I am just using it as an example :)

Let me see if I can help you...

Make sure you are using the latest update of JambaDev 0.5.

First of all some basics. You should have all of the toons in your team added to Jamba-Team. I'm going to work with Tom, Dick, Harry, Sally and Jane. Make sure you have pushed the team settings to all the toons.

Now, in Jamba-Tag, I am going to assign each of these toons a tag. Tom gets the tag "toon1", Dick gets the tag "toon2", Harry gets the tag "toon3", Sally gets the tag "toon4" and Jane gets the tag "hotbabe", er, I mean "toon5". Make sure you push these tags settings to all your toons.

Now when I write my macros in Jamba-Macro, instead of writing Tom, I write #toon1#.

Jamba-Macro has variable sets and macro sets. Create a variable set called "default" and a macro set called "default". These can be any names you like, I'm just using "default". Now select the default macro set and you are ready to create some macros.

Please note that the variable set will be empty for this example as the example uses toon tags instead of variables.

Switching masters. I am going to use F1, F2, F3, F4, and F5 for my master switching keys. For each slot in my team (5 toons = 5 slots), I am going to write two macros. One macro is for the toon that becomes the master and the other macro is for the toons that become the slaves. I will call these macros master1, slave1, master2, slave2, ... master5, slave5. Here are the macros for master1, slave1 and master2, slave2. The others 3-5 are similiar (you'll work it out I'm sure).

master1

/jamba-team master #toon1#

slave1

/jamba-team master #toon1#
/focus #toon1#
/jamba-follow master

master2

/jamba-team master #toon2#

slave2

/jamba-team master #toon2#
/focus #toon2#
/jamba-follow master

Now, after you have created your master1 and slave1 macro in Jamba-Macro, you need to assign tags to these macros.

Select the master1 macro and change its tag to "toon1" (without the quotes). Now select the slave1 macro and change its tag to "!toon1". Notice that this tag has an ! in front if it. This ! means apply the macro to any toon that does not have this tag.

A key also needs to be assigned to these macros. For the first toon, I am going to use F1. Select the master1 macro and assign the key F1 to the macro. Select the slave1 macro and assign the same key, F1 to the macro. Both master1 and slave1 are assigned the F1 key.

After you have "use"d the macros, when you press F1, only Tom will run the master1 macro, because he is tagged with the toon1 tag and all the others will run the slave1 macro, because they do not have the toon1 tag.

Now create the master2, slave2 macros, assigning the tag "toon2" to the master2 macro and "!toon2" to the slave2 macro, the key F2 to both the macros. Do this for the remaining toon3 (F3 key), toon4 (F4 key) and toon5 (F5 key) master slave macro pairs.

Now push the Jamba-Macro settings to all the other toons (remember the tag and team settings need to be pused to other toons as well).

Now on one toon, type:

/jamba-macro use default default all

This will make all the toons use the default macro and variable sets. Now you should be able to press F1 through F5 and have the toons change master, set focus to the master and follow the master.

So far so good, but what about all your other toons. When you want to add a new toon or a new team, you just need to change the toons tag. Say, I remove Dick and replace him with Bob. I just add the tag "toon2" to Bob, push the tag settings and then run the use command above. Just make sure each member in the team has a unique tag, one of toon1 through toon5.

When you add a new team member, you need to make sure you push the tags and macro settings to that new member before the macros will work.

You can use the profile functionality of Jamba to set up different teams, all ready to go with the correct tags if you wish.

I hope that helps. Please ask more questions of me.

[Jafula]

So... between step 4 and 5 do I need to do the following?
<enter> type "/jamba-macro use Setviews default all" <enter>

Yes, that should be enough. Or you can click the "use" button at the top of the Macro: Macros page. Does it work?

[Ghallo]

Yes, that should be enough. Or you can click the "use" button at the top of the Macro: Macros page. Does it work?

Actually ... it didn't at first. Evidently even if you aren't using a single variable you still have to create at least 1 empty variable set. Once that was done it worked just fine - thank you so much for your help (and a great addon!)

[Mokoi]

Jafula for President!

also, are there plans to implement a "take all team taxi" button?

=)

[Jafula]

Jafula for President!

Heh. In Jamba 0.5 the taxi mirror should work from any team member, not just the master. Please let me know if thats not the case.

Woot: This one is post #1000!

[thinus]

O M F G !!!!

Ok, I got around to installing Jamba-Dev and have been playing around with it a little and I just have to say you are doing an AMAZING job with it!!! It took a bit of tweaking to get my quest selection settings working the way it did before. I started using strobe follow for the first time and it is great for questing.

I just started playing around with the macros and having to click on "Use" caught me out initially.

So one question:
After pushing to the clones I find that I still need to click "Use" on each clone to get the macros generated. I can probably get mouse forwarding setup so I only click it on the main. But is this a restriction at the moment or am I missing something?

[Jafula]

You only need to push to the clones once. After that you need to use the macros on each toon once. On reload they will remember the macro set they were using and automatically build the macros as part of the loading process.

From one toon you can issue the command

/jamba-macro use <macrosetname> <variablesetname> all

to get all the toons to rebuild their macros.

Hope that helps.

[thinus]

Thanks I found the "/jamba-macro use" command. Everything seems groovy :)

I converted my focus macros to be Jamba based and use variables. If I understand correctly for my two team setup I can configure it as follows:


Variable set: TEAM1
C1 = Borck
C2 = Zorck
C3 = Dorck
C4 = Porck
C5 = Corck

Variable set: TEAM2
C1 = Msblonde
C2 = Mswhite
C3 = MsBlack
C4 = Msred
C5 = Msbrown

Macro set: FOCUS
FOCUS1: /focus #C1#
FOCUS2: /focus #C2#
FOCUS3: /focus #C3#
FOCUS4: /focus #C4#
FOCUS5: /focus #C5#

And then I have to use the macros once with the appropriate team logged in:

TEAM1: /jamba-macro use FOCUS TEAM1 all
TEAM2: /jamba-macro use FOCUS TEAM2 all

I thought I'd post the entire thing just in case it helps someone else out.

[thinus]

You only need to push to the clones once. After that you need to use the macros on each toon once. On reload they will remember the macro set they were using and automatically build the macros as part of the loading process.


So you can only have 1 macro set active at a time?

[Jafula]

So you can only have 1 macro set active at a time?

Yes, only one macro set per toon can be active at a time.

[thinus]

Would it be possible to have more than one macro set active? I was thinking along the lines of having a generic macro set that I use on both my teams, for instance focus macros where I only change the variable sets. Then for each team they have their own specific macro set.

What I am currently doing is just copying my current macro set to a new one for the second team but if I add a new macro I will have to add it to both macro sets.

PS: Where in NZ are you? Have to buy you a beer or 10.

PPS: The item bar is so amazing I built a shrine to it.

Hmmm, this is tempting to do. I can see it getting harder to manage as you get more teams. I could make a new page that lists macro sets (and associated variable sets) where you could activate or deactivate them as you see fit.

Keep doing what you are doing and if I can find the time, I'll see if I can do it. No promises.

Here is a link to the ticket on curseforge:

http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/jamba/tickets/59-allow-more-than-one-macro-sets-to-be-active-at-a-time/

Glad you like the item bar!

[thinus]

I think I found a bug as well, copying a macro set messes up keybinds or something in the new macro set. I can try and narrow down exactly where it went wrong but for right now I can give you the steps I followed.


I created a variable set - Characters
I created a macro set - Focus
I created focus macros and assigned keybindings
I used the Focus macro set with the Characters variable set
I copied the Focus macro set to a Shaman macro set
I deleted the Focus macro set
I used the Shaman macro set with the Characters variable set


The output when the macros are used seems ok but when I hit the keys the macros don't trigger at all. The reason I think it is keybind related is that I have a macro bound to F12 but when I hit F12 it just opens a bag which is the default keybind.

I managed to fix the problem by re-creating the macros. I had to change the name though, even deleting the macro and creating it with the same name didn't work.

I'm late in posting this cause I just got back into multiboxing, but this is awesome that you finally implemented this into Jamba. I remember when this was only a dream a year ago when you first came out with Jamba. Awesome job man. Thanks for all your hard work in the mboxing community.

[Jafula]

Cheers, it will be a bug. I have made a ticket out of your post. Thanks sooo much for mentioning it.

http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/jamba/tickets/64-copying-a-macro-set-messes-up-macro-key-bindings/


I think I found a bug as well, copying a macro set messes up keybinds or something in the new macro set. I can try and narrow down exactly where it went wrong but for right now I can give you the steps I followed.


I created a variable set - Characters
I created a macro set - Focus
I created focus macros and assigned keybindings
I used the Focus macro set with the Characters variable set
I copied the Focus macro set to a Shaman macro set
I deleted the Focus macro set
I used the Shaman macro set with the Characters variable set

Awesome. Welcome back! Thanks so much for the inspiration and helping me form the idea in the first place. Much appreciated.

Ok,

I am having a hard time figuring out how to use this properly. Here is an example (trying to keep it as simple as possible):

I have 2 characters with the tags:

Pally
Priest


I have a macro called mount:
/use #GroundMount#

How do I setup the variables and run the "jamba-macro use" command so that the "GroundMount" variable is replaced with the following on each character?

Pally = Summon Charger
Priest = Swift Green Hawkstrider



EDIT: I know I can define the "GroundMount" variable on both characters and give it a different value on each characters but that means I cannot push my variables across anymore. Is there a way to define all variables on all the characters and each character knows which variable applies to them?

EDIT 2: Alternatively, is it possible to exclude certain variables from being pushed? I don't want my "GroundMount" variable on the pally being pushed to the priest and overwriting the priest value.

[Jafula]

What you do, is declare the variable twice, each one with a different tag.

Variables

Name Tag Value
groundmount priest Swift Green Hawkstrider
groundmount pally Summon Charger

You make sure you tag your priest with the priest tag and your pally with the pally tag.

Your macro

/use #groundmount#

will have groundmount substituted correctly according to the tag that each character has.

Does that make sense?

P.S. Make sure you are using the latest build (12 I think).

[thinus]

Ok, so when the macros are built variables with the "all" tag will be used by everyone otherwise they will use a variable with a tag that the character has as well, correct?

Will try it tonight.

Yes.

[Jafula]

As of 0.5c, you now can specify multiple macro sets.

The use command has change to just

/jamba-macro use

[Moorea]

is there any built in variables like for who is the master ?

(there is that annoying problem in wow macros (not jamba specific) that "party1" isn't the leader for the leader, I'd like to use jamba's notion of a master instead in a macro without hardcoding the current master in a variable)

Yes, you can use the tags in place of variables (master, slave). Please note that if the master changes, you will have to rebuild the macros for the macros to recognise and use the new master.

Ah not so nice ! I suppose it has to do with blizzard security that can't get that changed / be dynamic to current master ?

hmm do you have an example, tried target=master and target=%master% and neither got replaced

edit: nvm it's #master# not %master% ! duh me !

hi there jafula, frist thx for your awesome work with this addon

now to the point :P , i little new with macros and with your addon, i manage to set up the team, they do the follow they update anything i modify on the master, but i couldnt make macros work. let me told what i did, maybe you or another player could help me. My game its on spanish, but i check macros individualy, for examble on druid i type "/cast [target=calemon] Toque de sanación" and works, so isnt the diferent spelling between languajes.
i set this on core tags

In the last screenshot, the macro section, you need to add the variable set Party to the heals macro. To do this type Party into the field Variable Set and press Enter.

Now you need to build the macros, to do this click the Build Macros (Team) button.

It should work now.

A note: you have a tag toon1 and a variable called toon1 (same with toon2 and toon3). You only need the tag on the toon, not the variable, so in your variable section, you could remove the toon1, toon2 and toon3 variables as long as your characters all had toonX tags.

I don't know how to do this easily without writing a third party program. Perhaps you could use the curse client as a premium member, it lets you copy addons (and I think settings) from one PC to another.

[bellwar]

thx for the tips jafula. with your advices this seems to work ... shorta. Now when i press F1 from krunc (Slave,the druid) he cast healing touch on Calemon (pally, master), as intended. but nothing happen if i do it from master.

i try to use next one

/cast [target=#toon1#] #heal#
/cast [target=#toon1#] #pheal#

where "heal" is healing touch and "pheal" is divine light.

when i hit from pall, he heals himself with divine, but druid no nothing, when i cast from druid, druid heals but pally do nothing
the idea is when i use F1, i cast both, pally and druid healings on the pally. F2 do the same, for the druid, and F3 do the same, for the warlock, but somehow, keystrokes dont spread through slaves.
when i manage to do that, ill do the next step, make macros for nuke.

[Lokked]

I did not read through all the posts following the OP, so I'm sorry if this has been addressed.

I want to be able to change the character a variable points to on the fly.

I use /click on my Paladins.

/click macro:

/click dps macro 1
/click dps macro 2
/click dps macro 3
/click heal tank macro
/stopcasting


Heal Tank Macro:

/cast [target="tank"] Flash of Light

I spam this and the tank is constantly healed whenever Art of War procs. I would like to be able to press a hotkey to change this target as I please, so I can continue spamming the same key, but instead spend the Art of War procs on another character.

Something like:

/cast [target=VARIABLE] Flash of Light

and

F1 -> VARIABLE = "Tank"
F2 -> VARIABLE = "Char2"
F3 -> VARIABLE = "Char3"

etc.

Can this be accomplished?

[Ghallo]

anyone know why?

No instance of WoW can cause another instance of WoW to perform any action. As far as Blizzard knows your two accounts are two very different people. What you are asking is for 1 account to send a signal to another account and cause that other account to perform an action. While every single multiboxer here would love it if that was possible, the fact of the matter is that it is not. This has nothing to do with Jamba but is rather limitations put into WoW way back in some of the earliest patches. (There was a time you could whisper a raidmate and get a buff for instance, even in combat).

What you need is a keyboard broadcaster. You can use either hardware or software and there are tons of options in the other forums. I'd suggest going to the New Multiboxers & Support forum.

[greglord]

Hi there. I need a bit help with excluding one of my accounts from using Macro.

My party is currently 1pally tank + 4xele shammy. I created new variable "Tank" with value "pallyName". at macro, in tag field, i inserted "!Tank".

that doesnt work though; i'm almost sure i'm not using this right. can you correct me please on how to exclude my pally to use macro used to start attacking?

thank you!

[Ghallo]

Delete the variable, you don't need it the way you are using it. Go to the Tag section and select the Paladin. Add a tag there and for Tag name type "Tank". The macro will then work the way you want it.

[greglord]

Hi and thank you for your reply. When explaining about Tag section, which one did you meant?

Jamba > Macro or
Jamba > Macro: Macros (where i have my macros set?) or
Jamba > Macro: Variables? (i had my tank listed here)

sorry, i'm a bit confused here :/

[Ghallo]

None of the above. Jamba-Tags.

Totally different section!

Oh, and deleting the variable isn't an option - if you have that variable it will mess things up.

Variables are used like this:

Variable: healspell
Value: Greater Heal
Tag: Priest

Variable: healspell
Value: Holy Light
Tag: Paladin

/cast [@player] #healspell#

Now go to Tags - for your Paladin characters add the "Paladin" tag, and for your priest characters add the "Priest" tag. Now whenever you click that macro it will have the player heal themself.

Jamba-Tag is your friend. Learn it, use it, love it.
Recommended tags:
Tank
DPS
Healer
<Class> (Paladin, Shaman, Warrior, etc)
Follow1..5

Hope that helps.

I downloaded the newest version of Jamba after not having updated in months so first things first. Ilu Jaf :D

Now that that's done, has anyone had any luck with cast-sequences in jamba-macros. I'm trying to setup just one macro for all rogues but I think I might have to make five individual ones with the rogue names for tags. I'm thoroughly stumped so any help is appreciated :P

Firstly I'm new to dual-boxing and consequently Jamba.
I like the look of it and have been looking at the macro ctrl sets in particular but i'm really struggling to see a point in them. For the most part it seems that it just emulates WoW's built in macro function and is more long winded. That is, I could write a simple macro via wow in a few seconds but it would take 2-3 times as long do write the same macro via Jamba
I've no doubt that from its popularity that it is a very good and worth while addon so i certainly think i'm just missing something.
So i'm wondering if someone could post some creative uses of Jamba's macro's that clearly shows how and why it is so much better and more useful that using the std wow macro function.

Secondly, I've been playing around with this and have made some macro's for my priest and they all work fine except Power Word: Shield. In my attempt to figure out why i also found that Power Word: Fortitude has the same issue. The issue being that nothing happens when i press the bound key.
Am wondering if this is an issue with ':' being used? And if so is there a way around this?

Here is one example:

Imagine you are 5 boxing.

You have a healer (priest), a tank, and 3 dps. You set up macros to heal your tank (Bob), like /cast [@Bob] Greater Heal, /cast [@Bob] Flash Heal, etc for all your heals (quite a few).

Now you have a friend with their own tank (Tom). You want to play with your friend, so your Tank (Bob) drops group and you invite Tom to your group.

How is your priest going to heal Tom?

1. You do not use Jamba Macro - You are going to have to go and change all the macros to point to Tom.

2. You use Jamba Macro - You change the tank variable value from Bob to Tom, push settings and click the build macros button. Done. Of course, your macros were built like /cast [@#tank#] Greater Heal and you had a tank variable with an initial value of Bob.

As to your second question: if the keys do not work, you probably have not built the macros. There is no problem with ":" in the macro.

This does indeed make sense as a nice example of Jamba usage. Thankyou.



As to your second question: if the keys do not work, you probably have not built the macros. There is no problem with ":" in the macro.

Initially i went through and made all my macro's before building including PW:Shield so it would have been built with the rest and was included in the chat pane with the rest so dont think this is the problem. I was playing around with it for a while and did redo this macro several times and ran tests by goign back to basics such as testing with various keybinds, variables etc that i knew were working fine as they were with the other macros. I havent had much of a chance to look at it again for the past couple of days but will do tomorrow.
You say that the issue isn't with ":" being used so right now i'm at a loss as i cant think what else it could be but tbh i suspect with a clear and untired head, I'll see a silly mistake staring me in the face.

Edit: Doh... okay you know its time to go to bed, when you forget to "unpause" the brodcasting of keystrokes to the clones. :P It works great now.... Godnight all

Hey, This is SO AWESOME. - now i just need it to work for me :)

i use this macro a lot

/assist [target=focus, exists]
/cast Wrath

and it works fine on the master, but i cant get the slave to attack. (i use /focus leadername on my alt, so its not because it is not focuesed, and i can also use the macro on my alt. but then i cant get the leader to attack the same target.)

Does the Assist not work?

When I use /click JMB_M1 only the toon which has typed the command runs the macro.

[Jafula]

Hey Wintershot,

It all looks good, you have done everything in the correct order. When you pressed the Build Macros (Team) button did the team print the macros being built in their chat windows?

Your statement is correct.

"When I use /click JMB_M1 only the toon which has typed the command runs the macro."

If you key broadcast the /click JMB_M1 then all your toons would do the command. Jamba cannot press keys or initiate spells for you. You need to use hardware (key presses, mouse clicks, etc) to initiate the macros.

If you added a key bind to your hello world macro and then push settings, built macros, and then press broadcasted that key press to all toons, you would get them all saying hello world.

Hope that helps, please ask if you have any more questions.

Cheers,
Jafula.

[Wintershot]

Thank you Jafula and sorry for the late reply. I knew that, I was having a moment.

Quick bug report on the macro section. If a variable set is deleted without deleting the linked macros, it will throw an error when you delete the macros and will not update until the UI is reloaded. I guess they are still looking for their variable set?

Cheers!

I am a double boxing in wow for the first time ever and I apologize for this probably very novice question. I read through this full post and did not see anything that hwould help me..im macro challanged.

I have a shaman as my master and a druid as my slave. what im wanting to have happen is when i hit action button2 the shaman to cast lightning bolt and the druid to cast wrath. this is the first one im trying to set up and im hopelessly lost. I tried to do it simply..on the master (shaman) i set up so that action button 2 would use this command
"/cast Lightning bolt"
while on the slave action button2 would
"/assist Morynn

You don't need Jamba for this - you need a key broadcaster like keyclone/ISBoxer/HKN. All you have to do is drag the macro onto the same action button for both WoW screens. Then when you press the key both toons will fire.

Jamba-Macro is way too advanced for what you want.

Try reading this thread for a starter idea and make sure to get yourself a key broadcaster like thefunk says.

Is there anyway to switch the "master/focus" to which ever toon's screen/window the mouse is active on? Whether is be automatic by moving the mouse into that window or by a keypress which then checks for which screen/window has the mouse focus.

Macros can not change during combat, Blizzard does not allow it.
