I did not see an 'assist" anything. Just target party or companion member 1-5 is that what you mean?
if you mean in game?
there is an assist keybind, if not, then disregard me :)
I looked all over for it.. unless they removed it last build.. it would make sense that it should be there. I mean all the trouble I had getting an assist system to work was directly because there was no keybind listed for "assist" I could very well be wrong, and hope i just did not see it. All i found was the target this and that keybinds ( party member 1-5 and companion 1-5 ) and acquire target of target.Quote:

I know I had seen it, servers are down so I cant look at it. they may have taken it out, and that would be dumb :( lol
Sorry, I meant target party 1.
I fixed the post.
Basically that is an "Assist" hotkey setup in ISboxer that I incorporate into my DPS macro's to function as a ghetto auto assist system.
Ok.. Glad you confirmed.. an actual assist system would be much better though.. Like assist focus.. and assist party members. But I hope they see the light and add macros so you can /assist playername .. /cast or any kind of castsequence would be gravy.. but the macros with basic /assist /follow etc.. would help a ton.Quote:

Is there a setting I'm overlooking in InnerSpace/ISBoxer to make the SWTOR windows think they are the active window? Ever since the release build I noticed the sound is turning off if I click into another window, and there's no setting to change that like there is in WoW. I figure there must be a way to handle that.
not sure if this has been stated yet...
I noticed some folks had issues with targetting and attacking. the current information posted so far works, but to me it looks a bit cumbersome. I found this out last night
ALT + F is in the game and sets up a Focus target. Whats not LISTED in the game is an assist Focus. After mashing some buttons last night in ISBoxer and in the game, I found the Ctrl + F is actually the assist Focus built into the game. Not sure if I lost the follow (i dont think i did) part, but didnt really test that out.
So all you do is designate an initial focus on all your subordinate toons, then set up the ISBoxer to use Ctrl + F for the FTLAssist in ISBoxer and yer done =)
hope this helps
Wow fulcrum, I'll have to give that a try today!
...Once I fix these g'damn driver issues TOR release version has.
<---Very sad panda atm.
This is good info, i was messing around with it earlier today.
Good find.
Now go back to your company ( Bioware ) And tell them to fix follow! Thx for this tip btw!Quote:

I wonder if there are any other useful "hidden" keybinds?!?!
NVM. Think I figured it out.
Ok, I'm not sure how to use the focus for follow purposes. I get it for assisting, but how do you get him to follow your focus target? I can't for the life of me figure it.
If I understand it correctly you can't.Quote:

These threads have been great. The DXnothing windows are awesome and the region to auto-reengage follow/Z while doing normal activities is great.Quote:

One thing that is annoying is that entering/leaving instances clears the focus off the main player as both don't go in simultaneously and focus seems to clear periodically for no apparent reason causing my background slave player to no longer target. It is a pain to keep reseting and sometimes I can't seem to get focus to take/set without many random actions...
Anyone else getting their focused target (assuming your primary character is the focus for FTL/assist) cleared while going into/out of instances?
Anyone else getting their focused target (assuming your primary character is the focus) cleared randomly (no apparent reason)?
Anyone else having issues setting focus sometimes? I can eventually get it by cycling through targets over and over or escape keys and/or switching back and forth between client windows (retrying until it sticks/sets) though a few times I had to x out the client and restart the client.
I am considering doing the manual macro's to manually target my primary toons target if that will provide more consistancy & less pain...
I have exactly the same issues with focus getting cleared and with setting focus at times. Until these issues have been fixed I will probably use a target of target based setup instead.Quote:

I've also had the same issue with setting my focus, which is exactly why I'm not using focus targeting until I can get it consistently working as it should.Quote:

Ya, I tried the focus assist. It constantly drops, cut scenes, zoning, quest dialogue.
I went back to the target of target method.
Thanks all for confirming the focus retention issues & inability to set focus weren't just on my PC. I like it when it works and currently, like pavlov's dog, I am resetting it each time I alt-tab to the slave client... I do that anyway each time my main walks out of instances because that, in and of itself, breaks follow. I am ok now though it is a pain. While I like the focus target method (when not reset) and have work-arounds memorized, likely, when I have time I will reset all of my key mappings to be the "old fashoned" way...
Update: I learned that I can consistently set focus on my duo's slave by clearing my target first (pressing esc one or two times) and then F2 then Alt-F (from memory). I also noticed that if my mouse cursor is on the left side of the window scrolling the mousewheel up/down scrolls chat and if I have it on the right side it does the 3rd person view pull back/in... Clearing & then setting focus seems consistent when the cursor is on the right side...
ok..lame, i have to retype this whole thing again cause the forum decided to log me out =(
anyways, i had the same issues too. few things i found out
1) alt button is spotty when using isboxer and tor at the same time...
2) character that invites is group member 1 (for target party member 1) I rebound this to my F3 Key
3) I rebound the basic ALT + F (creates a focus target) to CTRL + SHIFT + F12 and mapped it to my G3 key
now, after leaving or entering a zone, or after cut scenes i just hit my follow button (i remapped this to CTRL + SHIFT + F3) it targets my main and then I follow it up with the G3 button and im all set. I havent had any issues with this since I left the Alt button behind
It's not spotty, it just requires the Hold option be enabled on your Mapped Key. (This is a game-specific issue)Quote:

What server are you on? I believe there are two servers of multiboxers from this community. (Im sure theres more, but im sure of these two). Perhaps some in game support may help... Else, I know Mosg, and Mercbeast have some really well thought out setups linked in this forum.Quote:

not sure if anyone has noticed this or not, BUT....(for me anyways) its going away but the focus stays intact.
What i mean by this is that I too see that the "focused" target goes away, but all my buttons still work for targeting purposes and follow purposes... maybe another bug im not sure, but its been consistent for about a week now and even tho the graphic goes away, the focus effect and targetting stays for me.
also, not sure if anyone else did this or not, but in the combat keymaps for your 1 through = buttons, i went in and added the Assist Focus mapped key (the one that Lax Made to the actions for the button. Maybe thats why it works for me i dun know...but its working.
My only issue now is trying to find a better Follow
Erm.. quoted for anyone else reading this thread. Please log into the game. Follow is fixed.Quote:

also, as far as the focus thing...i just did a few quests in and out and its 50/50 =( random as hell, back to the target of target trick
actually I can imagine lots of reasons why I don't want to have follow in fights.Quote:

I saw no issues with the "fix" as implemented. I ran a melee team, 2 and 4 box, and ran a 2 box range and melee combo team. The game runs good.
it also pays off to have a separate "assist" key, so you can build aggro on something while the "others" finish another mob :)Quote:
