Vehicle encounters & macros

[Frapp]

Hi guys

I've decided to come back after almost a year of not boxing.

I'm going to power gear my team (4 eles+prot pal) thru random heroics, which means I'm going to have to subject my self to the vehicle dungeons.

So here's my question - what mod can I use to keep the bars with my macros up when riding a mounts for nexus/TotC?

I know we can use /follow party1-4 for the macro syntax but I don't know how to keep the macro active while mounted, I'm supposing something like Bartender (what I've always used for bars) can do it.

Please advise/point me towards some other posts.


Cheers
Frapp

If you use Dominos:
It swaps the first bar with the vehicle buttons. Simply bind actions or macros to buttons on one of the 9 other bars if you want to keep them available while inside a vehicle. Bindings on bar1 remain, but what the button does changes when in a vehicle.

I presume a similar logic applies with no addons at all - just bind to buttons on a different bar.

I found the following macro syntax very useful for FTL following, it works in or out of vehicles and does not use up the focus. But I just copied it from someone else on these forums so I'm afraid I can't answer any questions about it. Replace #ToonX# with each toon's name, and adjust the modifiers for your FTL system:

/run if IsControlKeyDown() and IsShiftKeyDown() and not IsAltKeyDown() then FollowUnit("#Toon1#") elseif IsControlKeyDown() and IsAltKeyDown() and not IsShiftKeyDown() then FollowUnit("#Toon2#") elseif IsAltKeyDown() and IsShiftKeyDown() and not IsControlKeyDown() then FollowUnit("#Toon3#") elseif IsControlKeyDown() and IsAltKeyDown() and IsShiftKeyDown() then FollowUnit("#Toon4#") elseif IsControlKeyDown() and (not IsAltKeyDown()) and (not IsShiftKeyDown()) then FollowUnit("#Toon5#") end

Dominos huh..cool
I've got an FTL system set up already which is uses keyclone and targets the toons names.

The problem I had in the past (a while ago) was when ever I jump in the vehicle all the other buttons on the bar (and all other bars) disappear, so i had no way of running any macros at all.

Will try this out, cheers.


BTW I mean occulus not nexus!

Personally I don't change anything. I use ISboxer and everything works fine.

I'm just mashing 1+2+3+4 etc. like I always do.

The only thing I have changed is in Occulus, when I call in the drakes, I have made a roundrobin key since wow apparently cant handle if I call 5 drakes instantly as only 2-3 shows up and the "flare" is on cooldown on the toons which diden't receive a drake.

Spread out your toons and you can call 5 drakes at the same time. I also used round robin at first, but some time ago i accidently called all drakes while spread out and it worked. Made me happy not having to waste precious seconds... :P
