Here's what I'm trying to do.

I want to map the F1-F5 keys to rotate to each shaman to cast Healing Wave in sequence if I hold down the <ctrl> key.

If the <ctrl> key (modifier) is not pressed, it will target the specific char instead (behaving like the default F1-F5 keys).

Here is my macro, 5 are setup, 1 for each shaman. And on each shaman the commas and spell are moved around properly in order.

/castsequence [target=NAMEHERE] [help] [modifier:ctrl] Healing Wave,,,,
/stopmacro [modifier:ctrl]
/target NAMEHERE

I've also tried putting the options seperated by commas inside the [] but still acts the same.

This behaves VERY oddly. Sometimes it works perfectly. Sometimes a shaman heals themselves. Sometimes they all wait til the main character cycles back around again then they all cast.

Very freakin' weird (or maybe I'm weird :) )

I'm using Keyclone on one machine.

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Let's see if I understand what you want. If you keep pressing ctrl-F1, each shaman will take turns healing the first character. If you press ctrl-F2, they will take turns healing the second character and so on?

What do you want to happen if you press, say ctrl-F1 followed by ctrl-F2? Since they are different macros, they have different castsequences and the same character would try to cast both heals. Unless you can predict exactly the order in which your characters will need healing, I don't think you can sync several macros like that.

Maybe this is your problem? Mixing different castsequences could screw things up.

You can replace the last two lines with a single one, by the way:
/target [nomodifier:ctrl] NAMEHERE

Do you have your macro setup like this:

[code:1]castsequence [target=NAMEHERE] [help] [modifier:ctrl] Healing Wave,,,,
[/code:1]
[code:1]castsequence [target=NAMEHERE] [help] [modifier:ctrl] ,Healing Wave,,,
[/code:1]
[code:1]castsequence [target=NAMEHERE] [help] [modifier:ctrl] ,,Healing Wave,,
[/code:1]

The position of healing wave needs to be different in the castsequence for each character's macro.

@ Maqs
Yes, that is exactly what I want to do.
Yeah, I just spam it in some instances, there is no reset so they should all get out of synch by nature.

@ thinus

Yes, each character has their casts different ,HealingWave, ,,Healing Wave.

@ both, I could probably put them in different on each line per character and that way they would start out of synch.

Maybe I should rethink those macros

Thanks y'all!
