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.

Ok maybe I did something wrong but I am sure I did the exact same thing on all 4 toons I made the....
master1

/jamba-team master #toon1#

slave1

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


With each toon tagged all my toons did the !toon1 !toon2 till toon 4 I checked they all say the right things according to the post, or my interpretation of it....lol but when I swap lets say I am on toon 1 swap to toon 2 I have differant toons following differant people for some reason.1 and 2 swap fine but 3 and 4 follow 1 or 2 not who ever is set as master and then if I swap to 3 or 4 1 and 2 mess up. All this being said has anyone got a screen shot of 4 or 5 toons with the macro set up working that I can take a peek at? I am sure I just fudged something up somewhere just not sure where. Thanks for all the help so far guys. Oh and do the # go around the names I tried with and without I belive?

Make sure you only make the macros up on one toon and then push the settings to all the other toons. You need to make sure that all toons get the macro on the correct keys. When you hit the master key, the master should run the master macro and all the other slaves should run the slave macro.

The #'s go around the variables or toon tags.

Check my screenshots below.

Jafula Thanks again Ill try this out when I get up later.

I love this addon.

That could you add a way to configure what options are available with the Jamba Quest log..? I hit abandon all and didn't think things through and just thought it meant abandon on all characters not ALL quests. I hate this button more then any other button ever, why would anyone even want this button. After cussing at my computer for a few minutes as I had just completed 8 dailies on my team and hadn't turned them in yet, I edited the jamba quest file so the Abandon All button just calls the normal abandon button function so I never ever do that again.

Sorry! You have done the correct thing by disabling it for yourself. I have used the abandon all function a few times, it has been useful.

What I will do is change the wording on the are you sure dialog to say that it will work across all toons and all quests.

Ah yes the abandon all function got me the first time. Luckily it was on my lowbie team. When I first saw it I thought nah there is no way it means abandon all quest surely it means abandon this quest on all toons.
