FTL setup, follow works, but spells

[ethos42]

I'm implementing the FTL setup, this is what I have so far:

My setup will allow me to open Warcraft with a 3 key combo, initiating a startup sequence that opens 3 instances of Wow, renames them, Logs into each toon, then resizes and repositions the windows to my desired location.

I can cycle through the toons using the F1-F3 keys (easily expandable to 5 toons), and in each toon I can get each of the other toons to follow the current window by pressing "H"

However, I cannot get the attack Macro to work for all toons. It only works when I am on toon2. On the other toons, they will cast their own spell, but the other toons just sit there. If I open a command line in their windows, I can see that the "2" is being passed.

I deleted my WTF folder and reset my keybindings to their defaults.

Now, all of them will still follow each other, but none of them will attack.

Here's my HKN (HotKeyNet) Script:
(I have not cleaned it up much yet, it's mostly a copy/paste mish-mash of samples)

As for in game macros, I have the following:

Follow Macro bound to H (this one works every time)


/stopmacro [nomod]
/target [mod:rctrl,mod:rshift,nomod:ralt,target=Wylam][mod:rctrl,mod:ralt,nomod:rshift,target=Wÿlam][mod:ralt,mod:rshift,nomod:rctrl,target=Wýlam]
/follow
/targetlasttarget


My Assist Macro, sitting on Bartender4 button 47 (BT4Button47)


/stopmacro [nomod]
/assist [mod:rctrl,mod:rshift,nomod:ralt,target=Wylam][mod:rctrl,mod:ralt,nomod:rshift,target=Wÿlam][mod:ralt,mod:rshift,nomod:rctrl,target=Wýlam]

Ligtning bolt macro, Keybound to "2"


/click BT4Button47
/cast Lightning Bolt


This is setup the same on all 3 toons.

I've also tried binding "2" to the actual spell, and to a macro that would just put out /say test1, /say test2, /say test3. It's like the button is not being triggered.

Any suggestions on how to debug this and see what's going on?

Here's the log from HotKeyNet

hi, your macros and templates look fine!

So I would guess that the reason, why this isn't working is, that another action is bound to 'shift +2'. Are you absolutly sure, that this isn't the case ?

I would guess, that 'ctrl +2' and 'alt +2' are actualy unbound, which would explain, why its working for the second window, but not the first and third.
You can also test this, by not using shift as a modifier, but the following:
WoW1 = rctrl
WoW2 = rctrl + ralt
WoW3 = ralt
(but delting the keybound for shift would be easier)

I thought the same thing.

So I disabled all of my addon's and reset my keybindings. and then they all broke :)

I did notice that it only happens with numbers. I've tried binding all of h, j, k, l and they all work. but 0-9 do not.

[olipcs]

Well, what did you mean with:"reset my keybindings"?
-Do you mean that you reset them through the keybinding interface?
-If so, I think shift+2 is bound to something by default, so you would need to erase the keybinding manually.

[olipcs]

on another thought,m there are script commands for binding/unbinding buttons,
so you might try to run:


/script SetBindingSpell("Shift-2")
/script SetBindingMacro("Shift-2")
/script SaveBindings(GetCurrentBindingSet())

[ethos42]

olipcs you did it again.

It was key bindings. After resetting the in game keybindings to their default, there are several modified number keys bound (ctrl+# and shift+#)

Removed those, and everything is working as expected :)

I've also upgraded my team from a 3 man to a 5 man, Thanks for all of your help in this post and the others. I've been working on this for a couple of days and have probably read every single one of your posts about FTL :) I especially liked the thread between you and Freddie when you were conceptualizing the system.
