Can ISBoxer replace Clique?

I'll try to keep this as simple as possible :)

I have Grid and GridCustomLayouts. Unit frames are displayed in the same location on all slaves.

I have a repeater region set up. If I push left click then it sends left click to all other windows.

Is it possible in ISBoxer to not send left click, but instead send "g"? I would like to have "g" sent to all slaves. I would then put a mouseover macro that is called with "g" which would allow me to cast any spell I want with the target of mouseover. This would effectively replace Clique, Healbot, etc, and give us more flexibility on what different classes do.

For example, perhaps one priest belongs to an ATG shadow priest and another priest belongs to ATG holy priest. If I right click on a unti frame with a repeater region, then it would be awesome if ISBoxer interpreted that click and sent "g" to whoever I told it to broadcast to (in this case we'll say both ATGs I mentioned). Then I could set it up where my shadow priest has a mouseover macro that casts power word Shield, and my holy casts renew. I now have taken the same class and cast two different spells on one click without configuring my addons differently.

Clear as mud?

This sounds like a job for ISBoxer click bars!!!!

I've never set up an click bar, though I have watched a video on doing it (will try tonight). Can you set up transparent click bars that are easy to resize, or do you need to get the size correct using the ISBoxer interface and then move it around using the inside WoW GUI?

Vuhdo will replace clique AND grid. WIN / WIN.

Vuhdo won't keep your toons where you can see them easily like GridCustomLayouts. If Vuhdo could do that, then I'd get rid of Grid.

I sort by name, never had an issue. unless you're talking about BGs and such.


on topic, no ISBoxer can't replace clique because you'd have to have something that binds the mouse click -> ability.

Not sure what you mean, Svper. For repeater regions, the mouse location is already being broadcast, regardless of if you push a button or not. If a left click on the master translated into "g" being received on the slaves, then their macro would read target=mousover for the ability and cast at whatever unit frame you're hovering over.

ok sorry, yeah that would work, not sure why / if that's any better than using multiple repeater regions and have some hold down modifiers for you w/ clique. AFAIK you can't rebind the mouse click and if you did, you would JUST have the key send, you'd be missing the mouse action so that whatever you have the key bound to wouldn't have anything @mouseover. I could be wrong.

Here is a scenario when it would be useful:

I want to use a click to heal system. Let's assume I'm using Vuhdo since that's probably the easiest to configure. I'd set up some profiles:

-Holy profile: cast flash heal on a right click.
-Shadow profile: cast Power Word:Shield on a right click.
-Resto Druid profile: cast Nourish on right click
-Tank Druid profile: cast nothing on right click

Depending on what team I want to use, I have to first create all the profiles, and then make sure I load the correct ones on each toon.

Here's how I would like it to work with ISBoxer.

A left click in a repeater region is recognized. ISBoxer knows to do the following, based on the repeater region and the type of click (let's say right click somewhere in that region):

Do Key Map Mouseover Flash Heal -> Holy Priest ATG
Do Key Map Mouseover PW:Shield -> Shadow Priest ATG
Do Key Map Mouseover Nourish -> Resto Druid ATG
(if we dont' map it then it won't do anything for Druid Tanks, as intended)

Now I can mix and match teams with ease while allowing ISBoxer to take care of my mouseover healing.
Note that all those keymaps have the target=mouseover in the macro. Otherwise they're just regular macros we use all the time in ISBoxer.

Look at my set up in my sig link. You set the size of the grid in isboxer and can move it with isboxer when you turn on the isboxer interface controls or go into innerspace.xml and set these as you wish (just for the position of the upperleft corner you have to define the grid first in isboxer). Its an overlay and not dependant on anything in wow.

<Setting Name="Skin">Interface/DefaultSkin.xml</Setting>
<Setting Name="Interface">Interface/DefaultUI.xml</Setting>

I have not used repreater bars but there is no question you can assign different macros to different action groups in key maps. They are just regular macros so you can make your alt/ctrl whatever modifyers there.

Not sure about mouseovers though I dont use them.


I set things up so that hot keys control the macros I send to everyone and clicking on the bar is jsut for that character for when I want to control singles. Like I press the heal key and all my shaman under level 60 cast chain heal and all those over 60 cast healing wave or whatever.



Ok you mouseover with the macro target.

Im not clear what you mean by mixing different groups; do you have one toon thats a shadow priest and antoher thats holy? Or do you have one that is duel speced?


Its all going to be about how you define your ATG's

Just have a ton of ATG's and write the maco you want for each one. If the ATG is not in the game I am very sure it will be ignored. So if you have the right ATG in the game it will send those commands to them. Not sure you can have the same character in two atg's at the same time though, obvioulys not.

Sam, I'm not worried about getting the ATGs right.

Basically, I'm hoping that a click can be translated into a Key Map action while also broadcasting the current mouse location.

Sry ... I just play different with my hardware/software combo, I dont have multiple screens on one computer so I dont use repeating.

Looking at isboxer repeater functions you can set a fake cursor to show on other tiles when mouse repeating is set to on.

If you have 5 clients on one computer and one main and 4 tiled why wouldnt it send clicks to all 5 clients if mouse repeating is set to on.

And of course if you are over the click action bar spot on all 5 clients at the same time the clicks will translate to key map macros.

Just have the click action bar at the same spot on all 5 claients (and you can set it exact on each by going into that file I showed before) and you should be able to do what you wish.

People in this thread, and Lax in the chat room, have helped a ton :) The solution is a click bar with a mouse sync before a key map action. I'm going to try and test tonight.
