    Default changing leaders macro

    Ok so here is my problem...

    I run 5 instances of wow and use a main and 4 slaves. Currently when my main dies i have nothing set up to have 1 of the slaves take his place....

    Sooo here is what i use to accomplish what i do currently. I use HKN.

    This is the macro in WoW...

    I have this bound to the 1 key for all instances.

    /target focus
    /follow
    /assist
    /stopcasting

    What could i set this to so that no matter what window becomes active it switches the slaves to follow and focus/target the new active window?

    Five macros.
    /target <Character>
    /focus

    Set each macro to be the PiP-swap key corresponding to the character your switching to.

    Hope this helps a little bit.

    Or you could probably find it in the wiki.

    Yea i kinda figured i would have to set more than one...

    I was actually trying to see if it was possible to set the same macro across all instances to the 1 key and make it so when i switched to a particular active window pressing the 1 again would make it so that character was now the main.

    I appreciate the help and am setting up the 5 macros as we speak...

    You could always switch to a Focusless/targetless/leaderless setup.

    But that's a lot more work than a couple focus macros.

    Default In what situation do you want to change leader? Tank Death?

    If you only want to change leader if the main dies you could bind something like this to the pip of your alternative tank on your followers. This uses assist rather than focus to leave that for CC if you need it in a fight.

    Tank2
    /assist [target=CharTank2, nodead, help, exists]; [target=CharTank2, exists]
    /petattack
    /script SetView(2);

    Tank3 etc.....
    /assist [target=Chartank3, nodead, help, exists]; [target=CharTank3, exists]
    /petattack
    /script SetView(2);

    Main Assist macro on all but your main lead character
    /assist [target=ChatTank1, nodead, help, exists]; [target=CharTank2, nodead, help, exists]; [target=CharTank3, nodead, help, exists]; [target=CharTank4, nodead, help, exists]; [target=Chartank1, exists]
    /petattack
    /script SetView(2);

    This swaps assist / main window and will send your pets to attack if you have any ( you can leave that out if don't have any etc).

    If you just want them to follow the new main just bind pip to

    /follow CharTankNameHere
    Team 1 Level 70 Alliance

    If you still are looking fpr a system and you like to 'play-arriund' a little bit my personal favourite would be the ftl (focusless, targetless, leaderless) and as you are using HKN, the setup part for the keybindings is realy easy.

    For Information about using HKN to setup an ftl see: [HotKeyNet] Implementing an FTL quite simple with templates
    For ftl in general you might wnt to have a look in the wiki: http://www.dual-boxing.com/wiki/inde...aderless_Setup

    If you would need any help therefor simple let me know.

    ...gonna answer this in detail, when I find some time for it (time is currently a little bit limited), hope it is ok, if i post your PM, to answer the question in detail here, becasue I like to do this in the public part of the forum rather than in PMs because someone other might also find it handy, and an concret example is always good to refer to...

    ..so stay tuned, I hope i find some time tonight...
