Targeting AoE Spells with send click in ISBoxer

[crowdx]

Hi all,
anyone got some tips on targetting AoE spells using ISBoxer and send next click? I have tested a little with it but it seems I have to be looking at my second screen to see where I am placing the AoE, while doing this it seemed very distracting and seems like a good way to lose aggro or get killed lol.
Any tips appreciated :)

I use add this macro on all my toons on the button I use for ground target spells. That way no matter who is driving all toons are at similar camera positions and when you click your main screen the others are pretty close.



/script SetView(4); SetView(4);
/cast blizzard

On the top, right click on "Action Target Groups", and create a new group.
I call mine "Ground".
But anything you'll remember will work.

Next, expand "characters" on the top pane.
Then drag from the top pane, to the "Ground" group on the left pane.
Drag every toon, which has a ground target spell.
Rogues if you Distract, Priests if you Mass Dispel, doesn't have to be just DPS.

Next pick a DPS key (FTL DPS), if you want other stuff there too.
Or create a new keymap, if this will be purely AoE and nothing else.

Call it something, or modify an existing keymap.
Set the hotkey to activate.
You'll only need 1 step.
Click on the hotkey name on the left pane.
On the right pane, check the box (2nd from the bottom), "Send Next Click".
In the drop down box, choose "Group (others in): Ground".

If you created a keymap, you'll want to send an output to the toons in Ground.
Most likely, the output will be the same as the hotkey for the keymap.
If you modified an existing FTL DPS key, this is already done.

The Set View step, is a decent idea to include.

Yes, this is an old topic. But thanks for both replies. Nothing more needed to fix clicked AoE with Isboxer and that script.

My earthquake macro is similar.

But as well as turning on next click in the first step. I createa a 2nd step which does this:

Send > Elemental Shamans > Mouse 1
Mouse Broadcasting off > All

I then change the hotkey settings so that steps are done on push or release.

So when I hold the button, it forces all my cameras to be thesame (view5) and has the earhquake targetting reticle on the ele shamans. When I let the key go they all cast earthquake.

I dont really need to see the reticle on my tank because the cameras are all so similar.

I occasionally get problems where the tank or helaer mouse is a bit fucked after I use my macro a few times and mouse broadcasting breaks from the main screen. Still trying to work out why it does that every now and then. In my send next click I'm using KVM mode so maybe thats why.

I've actually moved to three AoE (Action Target Groups), instead of the one group called "Ground".

They are AoE_4, AoE_5, and Aoe_ShA.
The FTL DPS keys 4 and 5, each send next click to the relevant group.
As does Shift A.

In my current set up, ground target AoE's are on one of these three keybinds.
Have not found the need for more then three ground target effects across one team.

/script SetView(4); SetView(4);
/cast blizzard

/script SetView(4); SetView(4);
/cast hurricane

I just have the SetView as part of my follow macro. If the toons are following, then they need to have the same perspective.

How do you get it to turn on and off broadcast in 1 click? or 1 keystroke? is that possible?

And can you get it to setview through IS boxer or does that need to be a macro in game ( im out of macro space :( )

Ive looked at a few pages, they did not really work....

Check the box, Send Next Click.
Choose a target; I use an Action Target Group called AoE_ThatHotKey.

Then put the toons who you want to AoE on "3", into the ATG AoE_3.

I have "programmed" isboxer as ualaa described..
my dps macro is the following
/stopmacro [channeling]
/castsequence my full dps rotation

now first on mobs i just want to aoe with my slaves. my dps and tank key are at the same hotkey which is "1"
so if i push "1" while i'm doing the channeled aoe (hurricane) my hurricane just stops and begins with my /castsequence rotation..

how is this possible, i got that /stopmacro [channeling] thingy

[Ualaa]

I've not bothered with /stopmacro [channeling], but in theory if you have that it should stop the macro from executing.

IS Boxer has no way of knowing that the macro is stopping, so you'll probably still receive the Send Next Click thing. I suppose clicking somewhere could have your toon move which might break the spell.

You can verify the stopmacro, by making a macro in warcraft. Something to the effect of:
#show
/stopmacro [channeling]
/cast Hurricane
See if that works, or is broken.
