New to Jamba

[pat317]

I just downloaded the current version of Jamba and trying to figure out how to get everything configured.
The first problem I am having is the Follow does not seem to be working. I am not sure if I have it set up right, so I am hoping someone can tell what I need to configure to get this function working
I have created the Team and made one the toons a Master and the other a Slave. Not sure what setting need to be set on the Follow tab to get this is work.
Hopefully someone can help me get it working
Thanks in advance

Thank You of the reply, but I still do not understand what makes the slave follow the master. Can you tell me what items need to be selected in the Follow screen to make the follow happen.

Thanks

You need to ensure, all members are on the same team.
To do this, add each of the slaves on the master's screen.
And on each of the slaves, add the master character and set that character as their master.
Once that is all done, push settings (with the master).

Also ensure that they are in the same channel (which they will be by default).

The Jamba follow command (or strobe follow) will have the slaves (not leading characters) follow the master.
Depending on your software, you might want a macro to let Jamba know a new toon is the master, once you switch to a new toon.

Thank you for the assistance. I have one more question..
Do you need to input the /jamba-follow command or does jamba do it itself?

I'm not using Jamba for its follow functionality.
I used to use Strobe, but had issues with it quite a while back.
I've switched to manually issuing follow, when I want it.
Some of my teams, will auto follow the new leader -- when I switch; others will only follow if I hit my follow key -- which is conveniently bound to an extra mouse button.

I like the team display, which shows percentage into the level (for toons still leveling) or health percentage (for toons at maximum health), and how this colors my toons green if they're following but red if they are not following.

I like the quest mimic, both taking the same options as myself and the rewards... where I can have each different member of the team select their own reward, and anyone who has not selected a reward takes the same choice as the master (current toon) when the master makes their selection.

The chat forwarding is extremely nice; my slave windows are much too small to read anything from...

The Jamba Item Bar is very nice for equipping new gear, using flask/potions/underwater breathing things or activating quest rewards.

Similarly, auto selling certain items and auto buying reagents, without needing to do anything but click on the NPC rocks.

In short, there are a lot of pieces of Jamba.
Take the portions you like, and discard the rest.
Jafula has made it available in sections, so you can use the portion you enjoy the most.

Yes, but if you use "auto follow after combat" or "follow strobing", then Jamba does it for you.

I have a follow macro set to

/jamba-follow master all

And I also use "auto follow after combat"and occasionally follow strobing depending on the situation.

This was very helpful - Thank You
I have another question.... how do you stop a follow command? I am using the strobe.
And how can I switch the follow master on the fly, in other words switch the lead person in follow back on forth?

It will depend on your assist method.

If you're using something like Keyclone.
You'll have a hotkey to switch from region 1 to region 2.
You'll probably have a warcraft macro (for every toon) on the same keybind.
So when Toon A/Region 1 is the leader, macro 1 is run.
And when Toon B/Region 2 is the leader, macro 2 is run.
Those macros will run the Jamba follow command, and set Focus or whatever you use to lead with.

If your software does that stuff for you, automatically on a switch.
Then you need to add the relevant Jamba command to the "on a switch do this" option.
