Very nice write up. For the following, how do you bind a macro to a key?

[/font]For each character bind the following macros to the given key.

Also, what does the following Loot Threshold do if it's already set to Free For All?

/ffa
/run SetLootThreshold(4)

IIRC the lootthreshold thing means that WoW won't force you to roll for anything other than epics. FFA <> LootThreshold - but you find them both in the drop down menu from the party leader.

To bind a macro to a key I do the following (this is basic stuff you should know):

Press ESC to get the main menu, click on 'Interface', select 'Action Bars' from the list, switch on at least one of the additional action bars (I will assume you choose botttom left), switch on 'Always show action bars', press 'OK' (or whatever the button is called).

Press ESC to get the main menu again, click on 'Key Bindings', scroll down until you see the section marked Bottom Left Action Bar (or something similar), click on the first button and then press the key you want to use (I'll assume you chose 'F'), press 'OK' to save your changes.

Back in the main WoW window you should now have an emnpty action bar above you main action bar with a tiny letter F on the leftmost space.

Press ESC to get the main menu again and select 'Macros'.

Drag a macro from the list to the empty space.

Voila! You have now bound that macro to key F.

I started using keyclone in wow a few days ago and it has been nothing but non-stop frustration. I have read several posts in this forum about how to creat macros. Although in my opinion it is not explained in a basic way. I have tried and tried with writing them based on examples in theis forum. I started using to focus commands.

example:

/follow focus

/assist focus

/cast [target=focustarget.harm] [] corruption

/startattack



This simple macro does not work. When I get a new ability i try to make a new macro with a coresponding avatar. What I don't understand is i keep getting a message saying the target is not in range from one of my characters. The macro works until I get a new power and i add another macro. Then when I try to use the same macro i had been using it some how attaches it to the attack command for a dagger or staff because i see it flashing when i try to use the ranged attack. I have no clue why it is doing this. Anybody that can help me with a simplified explanation I would appreciate it.

I am only dual boxing so I didn't need all of the commands most of these examples show. I also noticed there is a general macro area and a specific character macro area within the macros but it didn't seem to matter which i put the macros in.


I may seem like a tard or noob but i'm afraid i don't have the skills for the macros or bind could someone show me how to actually make a bind other than just saying.


Help please....

I try to keep it simple and use as few marcos as I can.

Form your party; set focus; and use /follow focus

You can set 1 key to be /assist focus or add /assist focus to every macro. using a seperate macro allows you to see the target before you cast and if it is in range.

I don't use the harm/help so can't advice you there
