Jamba macros, how to?

[Lokibrth]

I've been reading through the posts on Jamba macros and frankly I can't make heads or tales of it. Maybe what I'm trying to do is not possible and that's why I can't figure it out?

Anyway, what I've been attempting (completely unsuccessfully) is to make macro's that i can place on Master's action bars that will perform both dual actions for my slave and my master and actions just for my slave.

Examples: A button I can click that will make both the master and the slave mount up at the same time.
Have all my healing bar skills of my slave Priest on the right hand action bar of my Master character so I can just click them to trigger heals on myself.

Can Jamba do this or am I stuck having to use another program to tie actions to key bindings?

Clicking is not going to happen with Jamba. With multiboxing, you should be passing key presses, not clicking buttons with your mouse. You *can* set up mouse click passing with ISBoxer, but it's not exactly efficient compared to using hot keys.

To send key presses, you need to proper actions on the slave bars. For example, my mount macro is on Numpad-. All toons have the proper mount macros on a bar with the Numpad- key assigned to it. I press Numpad- and all my toons recieve the hotkey Numpad-, triggering the macro that is there {their mount macro} and they all mount up.

It sounds like you are trying to set up all your macros only on your master and nothing on your slaves. That won't work. Everyone needs their specific macros. Also, Jamba does not pass keys. It's an interface mod, not a multiplexer. Keyclone, HotKeyNet, Mojo, Octopus, ISboxer etc will be responsible for passing keypresses {or clicks, if you are really against using keybindings for some reason}.

Actually no, I was trying to set up macros on the slave that would be triggered by a Jamba macro on the main, but that doesn't appear possible from what you've said.

Is there a specific reason you want to use a "special" macro for this on your main instead of making a macro on each toon? I use a mount macro that sets my camera to a default view every time I mount up. I have this on a simulated X-Keys layout using Domino. The action bar button is bound to the same key on all toons so that when I press that key they all mount at the same time. I have the same setup for land and flying mounts. I also have a key bind set up to dismount using WoW's keybind menu so that if for some reason some toons are mounted and some aren't, I can quicking hit dismount and then mount to get them all mounted in a split second.

No big reason, I am just not a a huge fan of having and using a ton of keybindings, and also I like the visual aspect of seeing the skill icon on my bar. There's a ton of skills that you use very infrequently and I like having those on a mouse click rather than on a keybinding, because then you have a ton of bindings for stuff you rarely use.

In my ideal set up i'd have all the skills for both characters on Master's action bars.

Of the multiboxing software that I know of that can do repeating regions (click on your masters screen -> translates to keypress on your slave), you will need to use either ISBoxer (ClickBoxer?) or P w n B o x e r. HotKeyNet can do this, but its a lot of work.

More hotkeynet FUD? Why?

ISboxer is easy as can be for setting up mouse repeater regions. You can resize the click region to any size you desire even down to single buttons. You can have as many mouse regions as you desire so you can get real creative with it. You can even have each region send to a specific window or all.

Not sure exactly what you're trying to do with Jamba but I'm sure there's an easier way out there. I have something similar for my mount button- I just have a small mouse repeater region over my mount button and all my slaves also have the mount button the same as the master.
