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

[echo]

first, thanks for the help regarding the no space in macro line. so basic but that fixed the follow main problem.

however, I tried to setup my combat macros as follows

#showtooltip wrath
/assist [mod:ctrl,mod:shift,nomod:alt]wynterz;[mod:ctrl,mod:alt,nomod:shift]summerz;[mod:alt,mod:shift,nomod:ctrl]autumnz;[mod:ctrl,mod:alt,mod:shift]springz;
/cast [harm]wrath

and if wynterz is lead, it works flawlessly
if any of the other 3 are lead, all 3 of them will assist and cast, but not wynterz?

i copied and pasted the handwritten macro to each of them, so typo shouldnt be a factor. what might be causing this?

to any that can help, the squirrels of darnassus thank you so that I can move out of there and test the combat macros on something else. :P

maybe your hotkey setup is wrong in keyclone?

[delafoo]

I found the walkthrough here: What exactly are hotstrings for? helpful, but confusing as well. I'm trying the focusless/targetless etc. setup. I have my accounts to launch named wow1, wow2, wow3, wow4 and wow5, with a one button launch of all 5 wow1;wow2;etc.

I'm working on the 'follow' hotstrings. I created the first 5, for toon A, who corresponds to wow1, like this from the OP's post:

ToonA:



` --> FOA

Ctrl-alt-O --> FOB

Alt-Shift-O --> FOC

Ctrl-Alt-Shift-O --> FOD

Ctrl-O --> FOE

I saved each hotstring as (FOA, FOB, FOC, FOD, FOE).

Now that this is done I can load the keymap to the wow1 instance... but how do I load or associate all 5 keypams above with this one... do I repeatedly hit 'load keymap' and assign the next in line to wow1? I used the names foa etc for ease of use, and will probably use foa2, foa3, foa4 and foa5 for the rest of the toons.

Thanks in advance for your replies.

this system works great!, but my biggest problem is my 'slaves' wont stay assisting? the assisting kinda toggles on/off when i press the 1 key.
this is the macro i have on the 1 key. it would be cool if you could get assisting and following working on just one key.

/target [mod:ctrl,mod:shift,nomod:alt,target=toonA]
/target [mod:ctrl,mod:alt,nomod:shift,target=toonB]
/target [mod:alt,mod:shift,nomod:ctrl,target=toonC]
/target [mod:ctrl,mod:alt,mod:shift,target=toonD]
/follow
/assist

[/quote]I think I'm having the same problem and maybe it's related with the order of the toons mods/nomods in the macros.

I'm using [url='http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=User&userID=2510']olipcs[/url] variation and all was working perfect until I added the 4th member. Both taget and follow macros fail for one of the toons.

__________
This macro fails when Sundrah is leading (the others don't follow her):

/stopmacro [nomod]
/tar
[mod:ctrl,mod:shift:nomod:alt,target=Sendrah]
[mod:ctrl,mod:alt,nomod:shift,target=Sindrah]
[mod:alt,mod:shift,nomod:ctrl,target=Sondrah]
[mod:ctrl,mod:alt:mod:shift,target=Sundrah]
/f
/targetlasttarget

_______________
Then I changed the order:

/stopmacro [nomod]
/tar
[mod:ctrl,mod:alt:mod:shift,target=Sundrah]
[mod:ctrl,mod:shift:nomod:alt,target=Sendrah]
[mod:ctrl,mod:alt,nomod:shift,target=Sindrah]
[mod:alt,mod:shift,nomod:ctrl,target=Sondrah]
/f
/targetlasttarget

They began to follow Sundrah when active but stopped following Sindrah when active.

[s]I'm a bit confused and If some more experienced mate could give me a tip I'll be very appreciated.[/s]

Edit: Just found the problem after post the code here. Ingame everything looks small and blurred. I had those : instead of ,
/slap me
Everything is working fine now

[blast3r]

After the new patch ate a lot of my macros I decided to finally just totally start over with this FTL setup.

I understand the concept now and got my toons to follow properly as well as cast lightning (chain and bolt) in a macros with no problem. it works perfectly. So, I take that same template and try to get my shock spells to work. I just don't understand what is wrong but no matter what I have done it doesn't work AT ALL! I have spent literally the entire day trying to get this setup and am a bit pissed I haven't been playing (my own fault i'm sure).

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

i use main, 2, 3, 4, 5 as my toon names

main

4                          >     main.shock
LCTRL+5              >     2.shock
LSHIFT+LCTRL+5 >     3.shock
LALT+5                 >     4.shock
LSHIFT+LALT+5    >     5.shock

toon 2

4                            >      2.shock
LSHIFT+5              >      main.shock
LSHIFT+LCTRL+5 >      3.shock
LALT+5                 >     4.shock
LSHIFT+LALT+5    >     5.shock

Toon 3

4                            >      3.shock
LSHIFT+5              >      main.shock
LCTRL+5              >     2.shock
LALT+5                 >     4.shock
LSHIFT+LALT+5    >     5.shock

Toon 4

4                            >      4.shock
LSHIFT+5              >      main.shock
LCTRL+5              >     2.shock
LSHIFT+LCTRL+5 >      3.shock
LSHIFT+LALT+5    >     5.shock

Toon 5

4                            >      5.shock
LSHIFT+5              >      main.shock
LCTRL+5              >     2.shock
LSHIFT+LCTRL+5 >      3.shock
LALT+5                 >     4.shock


Macros.  Below I am posting just one but they are all the same with the exception of changing the type of shock spell.

Macros bound to button 5

/stopmacro [nomod]
/target [mod:SHIFT,nomod:alt,nomod:ctrl,target=Shâm][mod:CTRL,nomod:alt,nomod:shift,target=Shãm][mod:SHIFT,mod:CTRL,nomod:alt,target=Shäm][mod:ALT,nomod:ctrl,nomod:shift,target=Shám][mod:SHIFT,mod:ALT,nomod:ctrl,target=Shàm]
/assist 
/cast reset=6 Wind shock
/targetlasttarget

Macros bound to button 4

/cast Wind Shock

[Saevio]

As far as I can tell, your hotstrings look fine, but in the macro, there may be a problem in the cast part of your macro, shown below.

/assist 
/cast reset=6 Wind shock

I don't think the reset condition can be used with /cast, only /castsequence. If so, you could either switch to /castsequence, or just use /cast and drop the reset bit.

So either one of the following sets:

Different macro for each character, this should make your characters (starting with "main") fire off an Earth Shock onto the relevant target with each key press.

Main:
/castsequence [target=targettarget] reset=6 Earth Shock,,,,

2: 
/castsequence [target=targettarget] reset=6 ,Earth Shock,,,

3: 
/castsequence [target=targettarget] reset=6 ,,Earth Shock,,

4: 
/castsequence [target=targettarget] reset=6 ,,,Earth Shock,

5: 
/castsequence [target=targettarget] reset=6 ,,,,Earth Shock

Or:

This should just make them all fire off Wind Shock at the same time

/cast [target=targettarget] Wind Shock

I'm not too familiar with castsquence so it may not be entirely accurate.

Edit: Also, I used [target=targettarget] in place of /assist, either will work though.

Spent the last 3 1/2 hours working on this, and would like help.

So I have 5 tauren Shaman. Named Shockershama, shockershamb... shockershame. I'm currently working on the follow system.

I pretty much copied the OP's follow secuence, subing my names for toon a-e. I bound O to action bar button 10. I created my follow macro for each toon and put in on button 10. When I hit tilde on all toons, nothing happens. When I hit O, only toon A targets toon E, all others bring up a chanel Roster window.

I created my strings like the OPs subing my names in, and assigned each string set to each wow window as necessary.

I have ~ unbound in all windows. My macro set is bound to action button 9, which I assigned to key O.

I"m unsure of how to copy my stings and macros here, other than manually typing them out again. I use macaroon, and dominos addons.

Any help is appreciated.

I feel like an idiot! This was the problem. reset= on a /cast doh! Thanks!

Too bad there wasn't a like profesional area here, I'd pay for help ;p
