Question with an OLD key map

[theblisted]

Hi all,

I boxed about a year ago and was working on 4 pally/dk setup. I'm not sure why I setup this key map but don't know if I need them any more or if they need tweaked? If so I'm sure I'm sure I can't use 'j'.

Mapped Keys
DPS1
Advanced
Steps
1 Do FTL Assist Me In General Key Map -> self
J->all
2 Do FTL Assist me in general key map -> self
1->all

These of course repeat through DPS =.

I just started back yesterday and have read Ualaa's guide again and didn't see these instructions.

thanks for any help.

If you're just starting back up, why not just use the wizard and start from scratch? That way you'll atleast be starting with a pretty standard setup and not something you've modified but don't remember why/how. That's what I'd do after that long.

The mapped key has two steps.
Both are triggered by: "1".

The first press will cause the slaves to assist the active toon.
And then output: "J" to all windows.

The second press will cause the slaves to assist the active toon.
And then output: "1" to all windows.



I'd guess you might have set interact with target, to be keybound to J.
In which case every other press would be IWT (for your toons to auto chase who/whatever they are targeting).

If that was the case, I would change the setup a little.
Instead of sending the keybind for IWT to all windows, on every second press...

- Create an Action Target Group, call it Melee, and put all of your melee toons in it.
- Create a Mapped Key, Call it Melee IWT. Have it do two actions, both on Step 1:
----- Do Mapped Key Action > FTL Assist Me, Current Window.
----- Send "J" to Group (All Of) Melee.
- Change your two step FTL DPS mapped keys, to:
----- Step 1: Do Mapped Key Action > FTL Assist Me, Current Window.
----- Step 1: Send "1" to all windows.
----- Step 2: Do Mapped Key Action > Melee IWT

This is essentially the same as what you already have.
The DPS key, FTL Assists the active toon, sends "1" to all windows on odd presses, and Does a Mapped Key for the IWT on even presses.
However the IWT is done via a Mapped Key, instead of a straight keybind.
And it is sent to an Action Target Group, which your melee toons are a part of, which lets you do mixed teams where the casters do not have to IWT with the mobs, while your melee can still do so.
Also you can create a toggle for melee IWT, so the melee will IWT when you want them to, but only when you want them to.

- Step 1:
----- New Mapped Key State Action > All Windows, Whatever Keymap, Melee IWT, On.
----- New Pop Up Text Action > Current Window, MELEE IWT ON.
- Step 2:
----- New Mapped Key State Action > All Windows, Whatever Keymap, Melee IWT, Off.
----- New Pop Up Text Action > Current Window, MELEE IWT OFF.

Yep, I did use the wizard but I had set these up under the global key maps so they were carrying over.

I made the changes and works great!

Thanks all for help as usual.
