I'm not sure this is going to be taken well by the people who have already put in the time to provide this/these solution(s). It almost sounds like you want someone to do the work for you.
That being said, not all of the information here is a revision of a specific version, but more of, different solutions people have come up with.

I only use one of the methods from this thread. What others have provided are options. It is up to you to decide how you want to play and use (or not use) them.

Try a few things and post your specific problems and you'll find people will gladly help you here.

You mean like in the Wiki ?

hehe, although, I would not say it covers it all, but I (and all the others how contributed) tried to do an "all in one" post in the wiki, if anything particular is missing, feel free to edit, or post what is mssing

When I hit O, only toon A targets toon E, all others bring up a chanel Roster window.

..hm, only thing which comes in mind, is the question if you also unbound all combinations of 'O' of at your toons?
-im asking, cause you said, that the chanel Roster poped up on your 'slaves', which shouldn't happen.
To try if your bindings work in general you could bind a simple '/say I'm responding' to O, to see, if all your toons get the keypress...

Great stuff! I'm slowly starting to get the idea... at first I was like MOO what, how, why, where? Now I'm starting to understand the concept.. but the technicalities are a bit too much for me right now. I've got a problem, hoping for some assistance. I'm 3-boxing hunters and I figured I'd try and adapt the 5-toon setup I saw in the OP.

See when setting up KEY in KEYMAP EDITOR, my keyboard just won't let me hit ALT+SHIFT - it becomes SHIFT+ALT instead. As such (I think) I had to set stuff up differently and this is what I'm doing with my first setup, Steady Shot:

Winterscorn
1 Steady1
LCTRL+SEMICOLON Steady2
LSHIFT+LALT+SEMICOLON Steady3

Arozshara
LALT+SEMICOLON Steady1
1 Steady2
LSHIFT+LALT+SEMICOLON Steady3

Tereis
LALT+SEMICOLON Steady1
LSHIFT+LALT+SEMICOLON Steady2
1 Steady3

My problem is thus that this macro:

/target [mod:ctrl,mod:shift,nomod:alt,target=Winterscorn]
[mod:ctrl,mod:alt,nomod:shift,target=Arozshara]
[mod:alt,mod:shift,nomod:ctrl,target=Tereis]
/cast [target=targettarget, steady shot
/targetlasttarget

.. which of course is my attempt to alter this macro, as seen in the OP to be configured for 3-boxing;

/target [mod:ctrl,mod:shift,nomod:alt,target=ToonA] 
[mod:ctrl,mod:alt,nomod:shift,target=ToonB] 
[mod:alt,mod:shift,nomod:ctrl,target=ToonC] 
[mod:ctrl,mod:alt,mod:shift,target=ToonD] 
[mod:ctrl,nomod:alt,nomod:shift,target=ToonE] 
/cast [target=targettarget,harm] Lightning Bolt 
/targetlasttarget

.. just don't 'fit in' with the changes I did. And I've been sitting here for a good while now trying to figure that one out. I just don't know what to do here.
Also, even if I knew how to change that macro, can I even do this? 'Just adapt' the 5-toon setup to a 3-toon setup? Please also point out to me any obvious mistakes I'm doing. Still haven't been able to fire off a single Steady Shot so I dunno if stuff is working at all. I figure I've made it this far (or not) and hopefully I'll be able to get there in the end. Willing to spend a lot of time getting this to work right, but I'm not ashamed to say I'll need some help here ;P

Heck, I don't even know if I made my post understandable or not :]

ok, i try to talk you through it...

..of course you can adapt the setup for only three toons.

1. Define a modifier order
if you want to setup the ftl, the first thing you should do is set a modifier order to identifiy your toons.
You can use for example:

Winterscorn = ALT
Arozshara = CTRL
Tereis = ALT + CTRL

2. Create Keybindings
You wanted to use 1 as the 'master-key' and ';' as the 'slave-key' so you set up the following keymaps in keyclone:

Keymap for Winterscorn:
1 --> W.Steady
CRTL + ; --> A.Steady
ALT +CTRL + ; --> T.Steady

Keymap for Arozshara:
ALT + ; --> W.Steady
1 --> A.Steady
ALT +CTRL + ; --> T.Steady

Keymap for Tereis:
ALT + ; --> W.Steady
CTRL + ; --> A.Steady
1 --> T.Steady

save them all in seperate keymaps and load the corresponding one for each toon with a keyclone command.

btw.: if it is 'alt + ctrl' or 'ctrl + alt' is irrelevant.

3. Create Macros and bindings in WoW

Bind the following macro for firing steadyshot on ';' on all of the three toons and make sure no other combination of ; is bound to another function/button:

/target [mod:ctrl,nomod:shift,nomod:alt,target=Winterscorn]
[mod:ctrl,nomod:alt,nomod:shift,target=Arozshara]
[mod:alt,nomod:shift,mod:ctrl,target=Tereis]
/cast [target=targettarget] steady shot
/targetlasttarget

(with the /target as one line)

4. enjoy (and create other bindings for follow and so on...)

hope this could help, for a overview you might also look at the wiki..

Thanks for taking the time. I did exactly what you said and it's not working. Been double, triple, quadruple checking that everything is set up right.
Guess I'll just stick to my old commenting out /assist and /follow lines method in my macros.

Edit: I'm on a mission to do more of what I have atm and I guess I might as well not overcomplicate things for now. So it's all good.

Hi all,

to those who are knowledgeable, does the game care if i bind using right control or left control in the keymap? reason for my asking is i'm trying to refrain from using "shift" as part of my modifiers for the hotstrings, so that i dont cut myself off from the possibility of using shift as a modifier in macros. to that effect, i'm also only using the right control/alt vs the left one. I know that keyclone makes a distinction between the two because i'm using

nomod for all for toon 1
rctrl for toon 2
ralt for toon 3
rctrl + ralt for toon 4
and rctrl + lalt for toon 5

and keyclone sees toon 4 and 5 as a different combination. but will the game itself be confused by my setup for my toon 4 and toon 5? i'm having some issues with my setup because i'm using zorbathegeek's setup for using /click actionbutton so as to be able to easily sub in different characters for my teams, and my setup is as follows:

slave assist (action button 36)
/target [nomod:rctrl,nomod:ralt,target=wynterz][mod:rctrl,nomod:ralt,target=summerz][mod:ralt,nomod:rctrl,target=autumnz][mod:rctrl,mod:ralt,target=springz]



and the below is one of the nuking macros, which work generally well

#showtooltip starfire
/click macaroonbutton36
/cast [target=targettarget, harm] starfire
/targetlasttarget


however, my slave follow macro is completely broken. if i'm on toon1 (wynterz) all will follow her, but if i'm on any other alts, each of the rest of the team will follow a different team member, or else not follow anyone at all.

/click macaroonbutton36
/follow
/targetlasttarget


I thought it might be an issue with my keymaps, so i simply dragged the slave follow macro to where the nuking macro (the one that works) was at. theoretically, it's the same macro, only replacing the /cast line with /follow. and now in the same slot that is linked correctly because i was just nuking perfectly. but for whatever reason, when i click the same button, which works fine when it had the slave nuke macro on it, will now not work if it has the slave follow macro on it.

i've spent the last 2 days playing around with different settings, and redoing the keymaps 3 times because i thought it was human error on my part, but i pretty much eliminated that possibility. so i'm at a loss now. can anyone please help me? thanks much.

**************UPDATE*********************
Instead of the slave follow macro calling on the assist macro via /click macaroonbutton36, i replaced the slave macro with the following

/target [nomod:rctrl,nomod:ralt,target=wynterz][mod:rctrl,nomod:ralt,target=summerz][mod:ralt,nomod:rctrl,target=autumnz][mod:rctrl,mod:ralt,target=springz]
/follow
/targetlasttarget

and now it works just fine.

same keybinds, same keymap. so apparently all else being identical, the /click actionbutton method works fine for /cast, but not for /follow. any idea why this would be? :?:
