couple newbie questions

[luma]

Hi everyone,

I want to get started with multi-instances tonight and I have copied my wow folders to 2 areas (2 drives) (will do 2 warlocks for now, already at 70)

one thing I am confused about.
I read the guide and he has a great macro for the Alt to target/follow but on my Main what do I create to activate this macro on my alt? know what I mean?

also I am guessing for Shadowbolts it is pretty simple, create a targetstarget macro and cast shadowbolt on the Alt then on the main just a focus/target cast shadowbot and assign them the same shortcut (1 for example, 2 for drain life) in bongos on Both characters?

Thanks

Hi there,

ya I figured the program part out, passing the same key to both instances is easy, that I now get :)

my confusion is this.

let's say I want to walk from point A to point B

I want my Alt to target and follow me

what do I press on my Main that will trigger the Alt macro to target and follow me? let's say Button 1 is the follow button on the Alt button 1 will be the Macro (target/follow) what about the Main? what will button 1 do on the Main?

also can you pass focus between the instances? example if I focus over my Grid on My Main and tell my Alt to target the Focus and do follow will this work? will the program pass focus between the instances?


Thanks

what do I press on my Main that will trigger the Alt macro to target and follow me? let's say Button 1 is the follow button on the Alt button 1 will be the Macro (target/follow) what about the Main? what will button 1 do on the Main?Just leave button 1 unbound (on your main)

Any buttons on your clones that you don't want your main to have, leave unbound. My follow key is actually the ` key, so my 1-0 keys are still functioning on my main.

Ahhhh I get it now.

so if I make ` my follow key and that key is nothing on my main it will still send to my Alt and the alt obviously will have something assigned to `.

what about mouse Focus? does that get transfered to Alts?

Thanks again, much appreciated.

I didn't respond to that part, because honestly I don't know :) Hopefully someone else can answer you there. Good luck!

Mouse broadcasting only works with programs that support it, such as Octopus.

I didn't respond to that part, because honestly I don't know :) Hopefully someone else can answer you there. Good luck!I think... he's asking about how to have his alt(s) focus by using his main. In the which case one simple solution would be to have a "Focus" button. Use w/e you like, lets just say for example you use F1.

Main - F1

/script SetRaidTarget("target",1);

Alt 1 - F1

/focus [target=party1target]

In this case hitting F1 will mark your main's current target with the "Star" raid symbol and also have your Alt 1 /focus on your main's current target which will incidently be the star.

For more info on assigning raid symbols by macro check out:

EDIT: Forgot that not everyone use's party1. For PVE I use party1 macros so that I have focus free for CC and the like.

Thanks for the great info,

I have it working now and just setting up the Macro's

one problem I did notice.

on main I have a invite macro (/invite toon1)
on alt I have
/script AcceptGroup();
/script AcceptQuest();
/script AcceptTrade();
/script RetrieveCorpse();
/script RepopMe()

when I do this the little pop up window asking if I want to join the group stays there, it does not go away even though I am in the group.

any ideas?

thanks

/script AcceptTrade();
/script RetrieveCorpse();
/script AcceptResurrect();
/script RepopMe();
/script ConfirmAcceptQuest();
/script StaticPopup_Hide("PARTY_INVITE");
