Ok i have looked everywhere for this one. Is there a macro or something in isboxer or jamba that will do this.

We know wg has seiges and demos and theres quests where you ride pets or even occulus. Ive tried focus macros and everything to no prevail.

Is there an easy way once u mount that they will all go on follow. If so thanks. Just dont want to run one to the destination and do it for 4 more.

I just set keybinds in the default wow keybindings. For me, f5 tells my slaves to target party member 1, alt+f5 tells them to focus target. Mount slaves first, mount main last, hit the keybinds. Then I use Jamba follow strobing.

Your vehicle becomes your pet, pet commands are CTRL-1 through all that is on your bar, like CTRL-9. Just set CTRL-number to broadcast and have fun doing vehicles simulmagically.

Oh for follow, sorry, my bad for not reading the post more. Sorry. I use focus, so I used /focus MainCharName for like ever (2-3 years). I recently got upset that it doens't like it if you aren't in a group with the person. So places like WG or if you have an alt just tagging along, or if a char is really far away (other continent), unless you are in a group, it won't work. So, I said screw it and make it bigger, so now I:
/focus MainCharName
/tar MainCharName
/focus [@focus, noexists]
/cleartarget

Yeah, it sucks to actually target something, which I hate, but it works 99.99999% of the time. Either the first part works (in the group) or the 2nd part works (out of group). I don't think it screws up with just /focusing even if in vehicles, but I will say, 99% of the time, your alts will /clearfocus when they get in a vehicle. So you just have to make them /focus again and it is all good to go. Last part is the key, the alts will /clearfocus when they get in a vehicle, so you just have to use your /focus macro again.

I've never had a problem using the default ISBoxer /follow mechanism (alt-f) when mounted on chargers in AT or drakes in Occulus. It Just Works.

No idea about siege engines

PS I believe ISBoxer builds macros that explicitly follow targets, e.g. "/follow Iru", rather than "/follow [@focus]" so perhaps that's the secret sauce

i'll like to ressurrect this thread because this vehicle thing totally eludes me.

I know some say use ISBoxer but I did the trial and I didnt like it.

So can someone guide me to a vehicle 101 where they explain

follow
assist and
dismount

macroes will be appriciated.

I may be stupid but I am having a ton of problems trying the Battle Before the Citadel daily

For almost every vehicle in the current game, the FTL Follow Me (mapped key) causes the slaves to follow.
If you press "1" (or any other key) while in a vehicle, the others assist correctly and press the same ability number.

You don't need any special macros for follow or assisting with IS Boxer.

When I choose to exit the vehicles, I just press (G2) which is my hotkey to turn Mouse Repeater on.
Move my mouse on the main screen, to the exit vehicle button, click it. Then press G2 again, to turn Repeater off.



*Edit*
The only vehicles which have been a problem so far, are the Dragons you ride, from the Temple in Dragonblight for the daily quest.
For some reason, could not get those to follow, using the default (no special macros) IS Boxer controls.

for me 8 is the key for the /follow <leadernavn> but once mounted they do not react no matter how many time they 8 key is spammed

And as I mentioned I do not use ISBoxer. Tried it and hated every second of the 2 hours I spend on it.

I don't follow a person's name, I use focus. But I know that many vehicles clear my focus when I get in them. I just push my /focus LeaderName macro and it works no matter where or what people are. Then I just use my /follow focus key and it makes the vehicles follow. Maybe you can't /follow names since it gets pissed that the person is in a vehicle. Just have to learn to adapt a macro to stuff that works.
