how do you switch to your next living member currently?

[Kedash00]

you can make a macro like:

/assist [target=toon1 help,nodead][target=toon2 help,nodean] and so on for the assist part and then throw in a:

/promote toon1, toon2, and so on, i dunno off the top of my head how to combine them while i'm at work but if someone could combine those 2 it would solve your problems

I believe you can set more into your focus macro



/focus [target=party1,nodead][target=party2,nodead] so on and so on... this way it checks to see if there is a party1, then checks to make sure its not dead. If they are dead it moves to the next one to make your focus and so on. however that will not change your screen for you. Like elsegundo asked how do you currently change your leader currently?

right now im useing pip key binndings are F key F8-f12

awesome. this makes it easy.


on every character, make their F-keys a macro that changes their focus.

F8 will not only switch your main window to toon1, but will also make everyone set toon1 as the focus. (and toon1 will simply clear focus)
F9 will not only switch your main window to toon2, but will also make everyone set toon2 as the focus. (and toon2 will simply clear focus)
so forth and so on.

this is one way a lot of us are doing it when it comes to switching leaders actually.


note, this requires everyone to have macros that do spells based on whether they have a focus or not. meaning, something like this:
/cast [target=focustarget, harm, nodead] [] aimed shot
this will make the hunter use aimed shot on the focus' target, but will still do aimed shot if there is no focus (ie. its the leader).

round robin should remain the same. if you have a round robin set up.


if you're still confused just ask.

ok thanks guys but im still having a prob iv tryed both of theses on all toons here is my macro /focus [target=party1,nodead][target=party2,nodead][target=party3,nodead][target=party4,nodead][target=party5,nodead][target=party1,nodead]
/follow focus

this was the last one i tryed last night and i could not get control , all my toons have this

/cast [target=focustarget, harm, nodead] [] aimed shot
did i miss some thing?

[elsegundo]

you cant use both.

my method requires that you link your window switching buttons with your focus macro. meaning when you switch to from toon1 as the main screen to say, toon5 as the main screen, everyone will also switch their focus from toon1 to toon5. the other method is a logical script eliminating dead characters and picking the first one who's not dead as the focus, therefore the main.

do you understand what these macros are doing? dont just copy and paste and think it will work. you need to know what they do in order to use them properly.

Ok, well here is my suggestion.
#1 are your toons twinks? Because if they are then that means you have alot more keys free for use.

#2 As for your macro to set your focus, you can do 2 different things. You can set up a few /focus /follow /assist focus /cast macros making a separate macro for each differnt ability on your hunters.

For example.
Lets say Skulljr is allways your main then toon #2 is MSred #3 MSpink #4 MSgreen.
Lets say you want to shoot someone with Arcane Shot. You can make a macro like this.


/clear focus
/focus [target=Skulljr,nodead,exists][target=Msred,nodead,exists][target=Mspink,nodead,exists][target=Msgreen,nodead,exists][target=player];
/assist [Target=focus,nodead,exists];
/cast Arcane Shot
/follow [Target=focus,nodead,exists];


This macro should do the following; one it will clear the current focus, two it till set focus on Skulljr if he is dead or he isn't online it will move on and set focus on Msred then Mspink then Msgreen. Next it will set assist on the current focus whoever that maybe. Then it will cast Arcane Shot on whome ever the current focus is targeting. After it casts Arcane shot it will automaticly set itself onto follow whoevere is the focus.

So when you do this. all toons clear there focus set Skulljr on focus considering he is alive. Then they will all cast Arcane Shot on whoever Skulljr is targeting.

CAUTION!
This macro might be reversed!! If when you press it it sets Msgreen to the focus, then just take the macro out and switch it with this one. All i did was reverse the order of the na,mes in the macro. This will fix it because it will considering this is the case target the first person in teh macro. but it will continue to target each person in succession untill it gets to the end. Point being if when you press it and it sets and it dosnt set focus to Skulljr to the focus and put follow on him just use this macro instead.

/clear focus
/focus [target=Msgreen,nodead,exists][target=Mspink,nodead,exists][target=Msred,nodead,exists][target=Skulljr,nodead,exists][target=player];
/assist [Target=focus,nodead,exists];
/follow [Target=focus,nodead,exists];
/cast Arcane Shot

This macro can be altered as needed for each different spell btw keep in mind tho at this moment including spaces and stuff this macro is 248 caracters long macros cant exceed 255 if i am correct. this macro btw can be broken down to a single key focus/follow macro for the purpose of when u first start up a group when u need toput everone on follow jsut use this macro thats been altered.




/clear focus
/focus [target=Skulljr,nodead,exists][target=Msred,nodead,exists][target=Mspink,nodead,exists][target=Msgreen,nodead,exists][target=player];
/follow [Target=focus,nodead,exists]

And the reveresed macro is

/clear focus
/focus [target=Msgreen,nodead,exists][target=Mspink,nodead,exists][target=Msred,nodead,exists][target=Skulljr,nodead,exists][target=player];
/follow [Target=focus,nodead,exists]

Hope this helps you sry for it being so long =P

[skullchewer]

/clear focus
/focus [target=Skulljr,nodead,exists][target=Msred,nodead,exists][target=Mspink,nodead,exists][target=Msgreen,nodead,exists][target=player];
/follow [Target=focus,nodead,exists]

And the reveresed macro is [/font]

/clear focus
/focus [target=Msgreen,nodead,exists][target=Mspink,nodead,exists][target=Msred,nodead,exists][target=Skulljr,nodead,exists][target=player];
/follow [Target=focus,nodead,exists]

Hope this helps you sry for it being so long =P
