View Full Version : Missing something basic here with the ISBoxer Wow Macro Sets

OK it has been a long time since I delved into ISBoxer, so please be patient with me.

I was reading up on wow macro sets.
I created a simple macro to test how to use it.
I have made sure that on both toons ISBoxer is checked under addons.

So under the macro sets I made a new one called Pally. I have enabled the macros for the 2 Pallies character set and have highlighted both characters.
Under that it is a New Wow Macro. That macro has just /s omg in it.
I have make the key combo Num1.
Saved it, Exported it.

The screen flips, so I know it has updated wow.

I hit Num1, and only one character is saying it. The character that I am currently controlling.

Where am I going wrong?

1. in isxboxer profile for that specific macro action change target:current to target:all

2. upload to innerspace

3. do a /reloadui in game

4. ???

5. profit

Will that go to only his pali's then?

I have stuff like:
!if (character is in "paladins") /s OMG!

But this can be done without that step?

Step 3 as JackBurton says:

If you only assign a macro to a certain character, then yes -- Which is the recommended method since you save on key binds that way. Otherwise, that particular variable in your example is only really useful (in my opinion) to be used if you wanted things to go to a specific Action Target Group -- Although, it all depends on your setup.

There are nothing but Pallys in the composition. He is limited to two accounts. The KISS concept would perhaps be ideal.

Jack, where is #1 located? Is it under Game Helpers? Because when I look at the New Wow Macro under Pally I see where there is two tabs, General and Preview. On the Preview tab there is Character Set which is set to my 2 Pallies profile, and there is a Character that says <Any Slot>

The preview tab is just that... a place to preview what the macro looks like as written by ISBoxer for World of Warcraft; and unless you're using macro variables (http://isboxer.com/wiki/WoW:Macro#List_of_Variables) then the preview tab is going to show you the exact same thing as you've entered on the main tab.

If an in-game /reload didn't fix the issue, then you must still be doing something wrong. You can either share your profile (http://isboxer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=13), or watch the video on this page (http://isboxer.com/wiki/World_of_Warcraft_Macro_Library) which shows exactly how to go about using macros with ISBoxer.
