Focusless, targetless, 'leaderless' (FTL) setup.

[Ðeceased]

will this work to set focus? for use with the normal focus follow options?

like a

/focus target

at the end?

yes it does

/a [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]
/focus [target=target]



not sure if you need the target=target part.. but for some reason without it my macro didn't work :S

EDIT: oh wait.. what did you mean by: "for use with the normal focus follow options?"

the idea of this setup is so you no longer have to use focus for following and assisting.. u can now use it to focus enemies or friendlies and thus kill or assist them when needed

Yeah, right now most of my macros are set up around focus, and for now that works fine for powerleveling. when I'm 60+ I'll be changing that up

Has anyone tried/succeeded in getting this style to work with a castsequence macro? Seems all the re-targeting boogers it up.

Any tips when setting this up where to put your hidden macros? I use most of my keyboard already 'cuz I'm wierd like that, and can't use more than 5 or 6. I used up , . ; ' [ keys already. It'd be nice if I could hide them under my menu keys, like m n p b etc. without messing them up, and I'm a little scared to try.

I'm also only 3 boxing, if that makes any difference.

Sorry for not replying more, I'm on holiday at the moment so don't check back here much.

Regarding button usage, you can use all the numpad numbers unless you use them for something else. Or use the click commands like I outlined in a previous post to still get the regular functionality of buttons like O, C etc (I haven't tested this myself).

Regarding castsequence, I haven't tried it myself, but seems like it should work fine so long as you don't have it reset on target. If you want that reset, I would try doing a big /assist line at the start instead of /target, and hopefully you'll keep the same target (mob this time, rather than targetting the player), and it won't reset each time you retarget the same guy.

k wow, this is complex. Got it running about 90% go atm though. Would be 54 atm but skipping leveling time for this is worth it.

how bout a straight assist macro, get everyone targeting the exact same thing, mostly to heal people not in my party or target the same thing to enable melee attacks.

/target [mod:ctrl,mod:shift,nomod:alt,target=Moji]
/target [mod:ctrl,mod:alt,nomod:shift,target=Yoji]
/target [mod:alt,mod:shift,nomod:ctrl,target=Zoji]
/assist
/startattack

this is what I've come up with, but the fatal flaw is it assists off the main's target too. So target a friendly, the clones are on the friendly, but you're on the friendly's target. I'm kinda stumped.

EDIT: NVM IM A TARD. :P

when rewriting a macro called 'assist' dont forget to unbind your prievious macro named 'assist' from the same button. I was running it both on the string button and hotkey button.

works perfectly now. :thumbsup:

Heya


am not sure how to solve the targeting issue with /castsequences atm. I'll look into it when i get back home..

what I could suggest quickly to begin wth is introducing a /stopmacro command.. like so:


/castsequence [target=harm] Lightning Bolt, Chain Lightning
/stopmacro [target=harm,nodead]
/a [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]

now careful with these though.. I would not advise using it with all your macros as you may end up loosing a lot of functionality :S

I'll see if i can make them better

How about using Left and Right modifiers to clean it up a bit?; LCTRL, RCTRL, LSHIFT etc.

I ended up installing Macro Sequence last night, and it seems to work really well for the sequences, and really helps with the macro size limit too.
All I need to do to the above macros is replace the /cast line with /click MySpells.

The the set up for macro sequence looks like

MacroSequence.sequences = {
MySpells = {
reset = {
shift = true,
combat = true,
seconds = 23
},
"/cast [target=targettarget,harm] Vampiric Touch",
"/cast [target=targettarget,harm] Mind Blast",
"/cast [target=targettarget,harm] Mind Flay",
"/cast [target=targettarget,harm] Mind Flay",
"/cast [target=targettarget,harm] Mind Flay"
},

Cogwheel, the addon author has said he's working on a gui to update the sequences instead of editing the files, but it doesn't seem to have been updated in some time. Seems to work so far though.

oh wait.. the idea was to have a cast sequence that didn't reset even if you changed target?

i don't see why using

/castsequence reset=10 Stormstrike, Earth Shock (just as an example)

wouldn't work.. there is no condition set that states it should reset when changing target..

if you did want it to reset then u would replace it with

/castsequence reset=10/target Stormstrike, Earth Shock
