FTL issues.

[PyrostasisTDK]

Ok... so Im attempting to get FTL (focusless, Leaderless, Targetless) to function. I have managed to get follow to work from any toon, but for some reason the bolts absolutely refuse to cast. The toon Im on, will cast just fine, but none of the other toons will assist. However.... as long as its the main toon, they all assist just fine. So... Im going bonkers trying to figure out where I screwed up, and I cant seem to find it so... SOME HELP! please!

This is my follow macro, it works, just fine.

/target [mod:ctrl,nomod:shift,nomod:alt]Phainea;[mod:alt,nomod:ctrl,nomod:shift]Phainee;[mod:ctrl,mod:shift,nomod:alt]Phained;[mod:shift,mod:alt,nomod:ctrl]Phainey;[mod:ctrl,mod:alt,mod:shift]PhaineI
/follow
/targetlasttarget

This is my lightning bolt macro, it works, but only on the main toon

/assist [mod:ctrl,nomod:shift,nomod:alt]Phainea;[mod:alt,nomod:ctrl,nomod:shift]Phainee;[mod:ctrl,mod:shift,nomod:alt]Phained;[mod:shift,mod:alt,nomod:ctrl]Phainey;[mod:ctrl,mod:alt,mod:shift]PhaineI
/cast [Harm] Lightning Bolt
/targetlasttarget

Here is my legend

Toon A = ctrl
Toon B = Alt
Toon C = Shift Ctrl
Toon D = Shift Alt
Toon E = CTRL SHIFT Alt

Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

This is not meant in any way to be sarcastic.

Focusless, targetless, 'leaderless' setup.

If you follow exactly what he does in the 1st few paragraphs you'll be all set. I put in exactly what he had when I was first starting out and it worked like a charm...and still does. Then you can just keep changing the "]" or whatever you want to use as hidden keys.

From what I've learned over the past few months, I don't think you need the "/assist" either. I'm going to cut and paste the first few paragraphs I was referring to. Make sure you follow what he has exactly and make the macro on each toon.

You then make the following hotstrings, you'll need 5 per character per spell.

ToonA:

2 --> LBAT
Ctrl-alt-] --> LBBT
Alt-Shift-] --> LBCT
Ctrl-Alt-Shift-] --> LBDT
Ctrl-] --> LBET

ToonB:

Ctrl-Shift-] --> LBAT
2 --> LBBT
Alt-Shift-] --> LBCT
Ctrl-Alt-Shift-] --> LBDT
Ctrl-] --> LBET

ToonC:

Ctrl-Shift-] --> LBAT
Ctrl-alt-] --> LBBT
2 --> LBCT
Ctrl-Alt-Shift-] --> LBDT
Ctrl-] --> LBET

ToonD:

Ctrl-Shift-] --> LBAT
Ctrl-alt-] --> LBBT
Alt-Shift-] --> LBCT
2 --> LBDT
Ctrl-] --> LBET

ToonE:

Ctrl-Shift-] --> LBAT
Ctrl-alt-] --> LBBT
Alt-Shift-] --> LBCT
Ctrl-Alt-Shift-] --> LBDT
2 --> LBET

Notice that the 2 goes down the list on each character.

Bound to ], ingame on each toon, you need the following macro:

/target [mod:ctrl,mod:shift,nomod:alt,target=ToonA]
[mod:ctrl,mod:alt,nomod:shift,target=ToonB]
[mod:alt,mod:shift,nomod:ctrl,target=ToonC]
[mod:ctrl,mod:alt,mod:shift,target=ToonD]
[mod:ctrl,nomod:alt,nomod:shift,target=ToonE]
/cast [target=targettarget,harm] Lightning Bolt
/targetlasttarget

And bound to 2 you can just drag the lightning bolt spell from the spellbook, or use whatever macro you would use if that toon was your main or for solo play.

So what have we done here?

If you target something on ToonA and hit 2, you start casting lightning bolt on ToonA as you would during solo play. You also send out a LBAT (stands for Lightning Bolt toonA Target btw) hotstring to each of your other toons. So they recieve Ctrl-Shift-], which hits their macro with the Ctrl and Shift modifiers down, which makes the macro target ToonA, so they assist ToonA.

The reason I cut/pasted the article...was that I noticed you changed the ctrl/alt/shift ordering and it's probably out of sequence in just one of yours. I promise it will work.

figured it out.

PRoblem I had was using ] instead of 2.

] is the hidden key, and 2 is the actual key. I was calling ] instead of 2, and thus it wasnt sending the right commands. Fixed it by switching them all from ] on their client to 2.
