JambaDev master/slave tag issue

Hi,

trying to set up FTL with HKN and Jamba .5,
I have two characters petroly and petroli

I have unbound f6-f12 and 6-9 ) = (and CTRL and ALT)
I have created a default variable set (empty) and a default macro set
I have created the 4 macros with master1, slave1,master2,slave2 as indicated elsewhere,

What works:
==========

I have created the 4 macros with master1, slave1,master2,slave2 as indicated elsewhere,
I hit the PIP key and then hit F1 or F2 to have the selected toon become the master
/jamba-team master #toon1#
or jamba-team master #toon2#
This works: I get " You are now the group leader" or "xx is now the group leader"
If I go in Jamba interface / team /tages, I see either petroly or petroli having tags master and slave respectively correctly (evrytime I switch, Jamba interface is updated)


What does NOT works:
==================

I have created a macro named masterorslaveM bound to key 7 associated with tag master
/say I am master
I have created a macro named masterorSlave bound to key 7 associated with tag slave
/say I hear and obey

I have tried with master and !master, slave and !slave.

First problem:
if my first master is petroli, tehn it will stay that way no matter how many F1 or F2 I do

Second problem,
I use F1 to put Petroly as the master, I go in the interface of Jamba, hit use and push settings
then both Petroly and Petroli will start saying "I am master".

ARGGLLL

(there should be a work around by having 2 macros using toon1 and toon2)

My ultimate goal is to be able to drage spells to the actions bars and create macro which:

if focus exist, then /cast spell on that focus
if no target, use target of master
if target exist and friendlt then /cast spell onhealingbutton on that target
if target exist and harm, then /Cast spell on attackbuttons on thjat target

What is really missing from the explanations (and I have spend 3 days trying to get it) is an example such as 2 macro
such as
attackasmaster tag master
/click actionbarbutton2

attackasslave tag !master
/JambaFTLAssist
/click actionbarbutton2

Am I making sense ?

So the issue is that despite the core-team tags displaying master and slave updated, the tags used in macro will only be used after they have been used by each character:

Workaround:

Tag master and slave work in macro only after
/jamba-macro use essai1 default all

PS: if would like to suggest that if "all", there should be a message saying settings only applied to toon xx

The tags are only evaluated when you "use" the macros to create/update them. That is why you cannot use the master / slave tags if you want to switch master. This limitation extends from a limitation of the Blizzard API (no changing macros in combat).

You should just be able to use the one macro for both master and slave.

/click JambaFTLAssist
/click actionbarbutton2

A toon can /assist itself.

I know it s a bit to get your head around, but I like it that you are trying out Jamba-Macro.

Well, adding to the Master1 and master2 macro the fololowing line
/jamba-macro use essai1 default all
works outside of combat, I have not use it in combat

If it does not work in combat I would have to revise it (again :-( )

/click JambaFTLAssist
/click actionbarbutton2
was what I was looking for

but my issue is that
when master select a target (and even assign a raid icon to it)
the master /say target is %t correctly

but toon executing

/click JambaFTLTarget
/say I am targeting %t
report no target

I am sure I have skipped a step somewhere ....
I am totally sold on FTL buyt can not get it to work....

I just found one error on my part:
on the PageFTLhelp I had not selected use toon in FTL
So I have doublechecked that my 2 toons are ussing ralt and rshift
checked that too is used in FTL and then press button generate button /sambaFTLAssist /SambaFTLTarget

And at last I am getting in the chat window the /target sentence with ralt and rshit properly done

The slave toon does continue to report no target !!

As well as making the macro in Jamba (which you have done), you need to make a special FTL setup in HotKeyNet for the same key that you assigned to the macro.

This thread explains how to do it:

So, make sure if your attack button is 2 that 2 is bound to the macro and 2 is assigned in the HotKeyNet to be an FTL key.

<ApplyTemplate FTL 2 2>

Hope that helps.
