[Addon] Jamba - An assistant for multiboxers. Old Thread

[Jafula]

@jafula - I run around with a prot pally and a enh/resto shm, yeah i'm weird, and use the 'follow after combat' option instead of strobing. This works well for me, but I noticed that each time the shm does her first swing it'll give the warning that she stopped following. I do want to be warned about this, but is there any chance for an option to not warn about follow failure mid-combat?

How do you initiate the follow, do you use /follow or /jamba-follow master all? I'm surprised you get a warning about follow being broken. I'll try this myself, I assume you are using /assist or something similar. My toons either are not following during combat or they are following and if they are following during combat and I break follow by movement, I don't get a warning. Perhaps its the assisting that causes this.

Are you using any other addons that would interfere with Jamba, like Multiboxer or something else that could potentially initiate a follow?

Anyway, yes, I could add an option to not warn about follow breaking in combat - it will be off by default. (I personally, want to be warned if follow breaks in combat.)

Ok, I can reproduce this. My shamans, have a macro

/target focus
/assist
/startattack

that causes this. I don't use it much, but I see it would get annoying quickly. I'll make sure that option goes in soon.

Edit: Actually, this doesn't seem to work. My shamans are not in combat when they take their first swing; so I still get the follow broken message.

A workaround for this to press a movement key on your shaman (like step forward) before swinging.
[s]Another method would be to add something to your macros to tell Jamba to suppress the message; like:

/target focus
/assist
/jamba-follow nowarn
/startattack

But not sure if thats worth doing... option 3 seems better.[/s]

Edit2: Perhaps you can turn off the follow warnings completely and just use the red/green follow status on the new team gui?
I've added the option in anyway, it doesn't seem to want to work for initial swing. Lets see how you go after the patch and Jamba 0.3. [s]If its still annoying, I'll add the /jamba-follow nowarn command that will just suppress the next warning to happen. Option 3 seems better.[/s]

Edit3: Hmmm, perhaps even better would be to supress the warning if any of your team was already in combat. That way as your main is already fighting, there would be no need to add the /jamba-follow nowarn to the macro.
