New to Jamba, how to send commands to second toon?

[inzain]

thanks in advance

im stuck with the macroing part, ive got 0.7b, and im trying to dualbox (2 copies of wow on one pc) with my lock as my main, and my druid healing/following.

sounds easy but i cannot get my druid to do anything EXCEPT perform the actual jamba commands ie.. /jamba-follow master all... etc... ive set up the macro system with a simple /say hi macro, if im on the druid and hit f9 he says hi. if im on the lock and hit f9, nothing happens. heres my setup for the macro:

macro set: heals all on
macro variables: variable set name sayhi variables are toon1 variable is lock. toon2 var is druid (prolly dont need these at this time but they are there.)
macro:macro
set name sayhi
macro name :hi
tag: druid
text: /say hi

and thats it, ive pushed to all, both have everything the same, ive loaded the macro on both toons, ive hit the create macros (no errors)

and when i hit F9 and im on the lock, nothing happens, if i tab to druid, and hit f9 it says hi.

is there a way to do this from the lock? and if so what am i doing wrong here, my main goal is to setup a few macros, one to make the druid follow me, the other is to make it either cast wrath on my targ, or heal me, or have him heal self.

thanks in advance for any help with this.

**edit ....is it mandatory for this stuff to work still, to use a multiplexer like HKN etc..?

Addons cannot press keys for you. You need to press the keys. Get a program like HotKeyNet, Keyclone, ISBoxer, etc, to broadcast keys (in your case F9) to all toons.

ah ok i see, well i just got HKN working right and its slowly coming together.

i dont know what i was thinking, i was assumeing that the way jamba worked with the macros was you setup a macro in jamba, then when on the main if you hit say f9, it would relay the activation command for that macro through the comms channel to ALL clones, and those tagged would perform the related macro ie..

i setup f9 to /say hi on all clones but with a tag druid
and when i hit f9 on my main it would send that command throught the comms channel on jamba to all, but only druid would perform the action. in very much the same way as the /jamba-follow master all command works.

guess i assumed wrong lol. i still see a lot of power in this addon tho so imll continue using it so i can avoid the having to setup all my hotkeys identical on all clones..

thanks very much for the fast reply

You can setup several macros on the same key (F9) each with different tags. That way when you press F9, the druid does its macro (with the druid tag), the paladin does its macro (a different action, with the paladin tag), etc.
