FTL /click infused

[Tynk]

With our new found joy of /click
Was thinking about some of the large draw backs people were mentioning, one specifically is the pain when adding or changing characters from the group and needing to manually change every macro as the targets are hard coded.
This would also allow for a much easier configuration when changing spells.

For starters I am using macaroon, I created 3 bars
Bar 1 has 5 buttons (one for each character) and the buttons are ActionID1 -5 with macro's in each with simply /assist CharName
I have another bar with 12 buttons, 1 through = bound to them and actionid6-17
The last bar has my hidden buttons with binds to correspond to the second bar.

Each hidden button will have the corresponding code with the /cast actionid to match it's active button.

/click [mod:CTRL,nomod:ALT,nomod:SHIFT] ActionButton1
/click [nomod:CTRL,mod:ALT,nomod:SHIFT] ActionButton2
/click [mod:CTRL,mod:ALT,nomod:SHIFT] ActionButton3
/click [nomod:CTRL,nomod:ALT,mod:SHIFT] ActionButton4
/click [mod:CTRL,nomod:AlT,mod:SHIFT] ActionButton5
/click ActionButton6
/targetlasttarget

This allows me to do a couple things. First I can drag and drop my assist macro's from my standard macro window to the first bar if I ever change my group, and second I can change my cast spells cast just by dragging the spell (or macro) to the appropriate spot on bar 2.

(Forgive my for the horrid and confusing right up, I am not a technical writer.)

Nice one,

Two questions:
Can you make /click in a macro ingame? or do you need a program/script whatever for it?
Can you also click in the middle of your game screen. I am leveling warlock and it would be great to be able to click AoE on the ground. (Rain of fire etc)

Kind regards,

Totemic

well, I have it fully set up and it is slick. I have 12 keys that are FTL targeted.
if characters change I just change the assist macro's in the macro window.
If I want to change spells cast I just drag and drop them onto the bar.
No more macro editing and it is a beautiful thing.

cycle goes like this.

master hits 1
Macaroon button, ActionID6, /cast Lightning Bolt
(passes to standard keyclone key map)
Slave hits (modifier) I
macaroon button, macro

/click [mod:CTRL,nomod:ALT,nomod:SHIFT] Actionbutton1
/click [nomod:CTRL,mod:ALT,nomod:SHIFT] Actionbutton2
/click [mod:CTRL,mod:ALT,nomod:SHIFT] Actionbutton3
/click [nomod:CTRL,nomod:ALT,mod:SHIFT] Actionbutton4
/click [mod:CTRL,nomod:ALT,mod:SHIFT] Actionbutton5
/click Actiobutton6
/targetlasttarget

above macro /click's unbound button
Macaroon Button, ActionID1, /assist Master
above macro /click's slaves (bound to 1)
Macaroon button, ActionID6, /cast Lightning Bolt

The greatest part is, I have this set up saved in macaroon. So if I start any new characters all I have to do is load this macaroon profile then create the /assist macro's and I am rolling full speed.
so, what do you all think?

I don't use FTL, but this sounds like win:

I love my /click command it definitely makes macro's similar

Tynk,

I think i get this. One five button bar with the assist marcos for each character... easy to switch out characters. Two more bars that are bound same. One of these bars you can just drop your spells into and the other one set to /click on of the assist marco buttons and also to /click one of your spells. This seems very slick indeed... but i have one question. I assume the keys you are pressing are for the hidden bar which says which toon to assist and which other button to activate for a spell. It looks like you would have to be also always clicking a modifier when you hit these keys.

When you hit 1 don't you also have to hit the mod:ctrl for it to select to assist the toon in the macro for action button 1? I wouldn't like to be hitting modifier buttons all the time for each cast and i assume you wouldn't either... so i assume i am understanding your system in the wrong way and i would like to undersand better. Can you help out?
:whistling:

sorry for the delayed response, I missed your question.
This set up is specifically meant for use with FTL. So the modifiers are all passed to your slaves via keyclone

been using this type of set up with macaroon for a while, and its super handy. mine is slightly easier actually, since it takes advantage of the fact that the mods get passed to the clicked button as well. so when i switch my groups' make-up around i only have to update one button's macros (the one that handles the mod filtering to the appropriate partymember target by name). then i have an assist button that clicks that targetleader button and then /assists. my follow button clicks the same targetleader button, then /follows, then targets last target.

my follower's 'assist attack buttons' click the assist button, then click the normal attack button that they mirror (the one that gets directly triggerd on the leader, ie keybinds 1-5). makes it super easy to switch around powers, since i can just drag them into the bar and the mirror buttons still point to the right stuff.

the only painful part of the process is setting up keymaps on each toon. not super tricky or anything, just a cumbersome interface. but you only need to do it once, and the rest comes with ease. super helpful in pvp, since my drooz are still squishy enough that i tend to lose at least one whenever there are more than one dick-knights around. being able to immediately swap leaders and finish them off is all that saves me. also super helpful on strand offense since my cows are always on separate boats. relatively easy to swap back and forth to send them running for the comfort of one anothers HoT range.

I actually experimented with the setup assuming click passed the modifiers to their targets but it never worked for me. I would be curious to see exactly how you did it. I am at work right now, but I have my macro's for the mod passed click set up at home, I will try and get it up tonight to compare.
