Re: you cannot reuse toon1-5.

The idea is that you tag your characters with these toon1, toon2, toon3, toon4, toon5 tags. When you change your group composition, you rearrange the tags on your characters appropriately. All you do is change the tags on your toons, push the updated tag settings, the run the /jamba-macro use xxx yyy all command. Note that you don't push the jamba macro settings as these are already defined on your toons.

If this is too much bother, you can use profiles to predefine these.

Edit:

jamba-macro looks for variables as tags on your toons first, before using the variables defined in jamba-macro.

Another way would be to setup several macro sets, one for each unique group of characters.

I see that example, I guess it's non intuitive in that its more steps upfront than normal. Especially if you mix groups and cannot reuse the toon1-5.

But to be clear on the defacto example, the master you want me to setup a variable for each character (your tom,dick -> #toon1#, #toon2#) then use those variables just like someone might normally /focus tom or /focus dick. Then push those to the slaves (again if you swap in characters your going to need to augment this procedure since the names are defined it seems)

/jamba-team master #toon1#
/focus #toon1#
/jamba-follow master

This seems quite intensive, is there a mechanism to allow the master to set a variable and then push it (out of combat). Something akin to this

/jamba-macro iammastervar #MASTER#
/jamba-macro push

/focus #MASTER#
/jamba-follow master

This wouldn't help the pvp people that want to swap characters i understand or work during combat since your rewriting the internal macro upon iammastervar.
