Leaderless setup is leaving me SUPER CONFUSED

I have been trying to set up my Leaderless party of 5 Shaman.

Well in reading these posts im getting so dang confused it isnt even funny...

I spent about a hour last night making 1 dang set of hotstrings for lightning botl and it didnt work...

I used the wiki link and used these hotstrings.

‘2’ ---> ‘lightningbold.on.ToonA.target’
‘Ctrl + Alt + i’ ---> ‘lightningbold.on.ToonB.target’
‘Alt + Shift + i’---> ‘lightningbold.on.ToonC.target’
‘Ctrl + Alt + Shift + i’ ---> ‘lightningbold.on.ToonD.target’
‘Ctrl + i’ ---> ‘lightningbold.on.ToonE.target’


I fixed "lightningbold" to say Lightningbolt, and changed toona-toone to my toons names accordingly.

Well it didnt work...

What am i missing here because i still dont understand how to do this and all these different threads with different acronyms is driving me up a wall...

Anyone? :(

You need to make sure that you have the hotstrings different for all 5 of your chars are different. So the one you listed is fine for your main char (because your using 2 for your lightning bolt spell)

Your issue here is that you fixed the name for lightning bolt (which doesn't actually matter) and the names for toona-toone (which doesn't actually matter) in the hotstring. The way you have it worded is fine.

Your missing the macro that you need on each of your chars to target the enemy and attack. Look further into the Leaderless setup and you see what I mean.

You should have by the end of this 5 hotstrings for each of your chars and 1 macro bounded to "i" in your keybindings and then have your actual lightning bolt spell as "2" on your hotbar.

So if I wante dto I could just shorten my hotstring to look like this and it would still work?

I would of course move the buttons to where they need to be for each toon


‘2’ ---> LBAT
‘Ctrl + Alt + i’ ---> LBBT
‘Alt + Shift + i’--->LBCT
‘Ctrl + Alt + Shift + i’ ---> LBDT
‘Ctrl + i’ ---> LBET


so all i would need for the hotstring is "LBAT-LBET" ?

exactly

hm: i'm thinking of doing some screenshots for the wiki, if i find some time, perhaps it would help...

I started with that system, which works great, but I found the keyboard maps to be tedious to set up and rather complicated.

With the help of Jamba I've got rid of the keymaps in exchange for using the focus to indicate the leader.
So, in game, I have macros assigned to the same buttons that I've set up in Keyclone for the PiP swapping (ctrl-f1 for my paladin, ctrl-f2...ctrl-f5 for my shamans). On my paladin, for example, I have macros like this (from memory, may not be quite right):
on ctrl-f1:
/jamba setmeasmaster all
/clearfocus
/script SetView(3)
on ctrl-f2:
/focus My2ndToon
/script SetView(5)
on ctrl-f3:
/focus My3rdToon
/script SetView(5)
... etc ...
On my 2nd toon, the "/jamba setmeasmaster all" would be on ctrl-f2, and on the 3rd toon it would be on ctrl-f3 etc.

NB: I previously set the camera to a nice zoomed-out position that I like then used: "/script SaveView(3)" to save the view for later recall. (You only have to do this once, not every time you play).
So now, when I press ctrl-f1, Keyclone makes my paladin's screen full-screen on my main monitor, and the above macro gets Jamba to tell the slaves who the master is. The matching macros on ctrl-f1 on the slaves just "/focus My1stToon" and set the camera view.
So, whenever I switch toon using keyclones PiP feature, Jamba's master is set, and all toons are now focussing the master. Then my spell macros are something like:
/cast [target=focustarget,exists,harm,nodead][] Lightning Bolt

The final "[]" clause is there so that if there is no focus, the spell will be cast on the current target, allowing the toon to be played solo.
I also have a key bound to the jamba follow macro (which is something like "/jamba-follow master all", if I recall correctly). No more keymaps, and it seems to work flawlessly. The price paid is using my focus, but that's no big deal. You could change the above setup around to use target instead of focus quite easily.
