PTR 3.1 Interact UI Changes - How To Use Keyclone to tell Slaves to Loot From Your Main

[Motgib]

Hello,

If I'm reading this correctly, so
1. when you set Alt-Z to "interact with target", you only set them on your slaves
2. Alt-Z is not bound to anything on the main account
3. Pressing Alt Z does nothing for the main but tells slaves to loot.

Now the difficulty is this, I have several trios and the "main" for each of them are on different accounts. I'm retarded I know, there's a long story behind it. I do change from one to another trio quite frequently. That means before each triboxing session I need to readjust who has Alt Z bound to interact with target and who doesn't?

I'm thinking of the following approach, please let me know if this wouldn't work. Gonna try it this evening:
1. Mouse shift-right-click maps to Alt-Z to slave1, alt-right-click maps to Alt-Z to slave2, and the mapping is done via keyclone
2. I never really press Alt-Z itself on master.
3. Therefore I can leave Alt-Z bound to interact with target on ALL accounts.

This shouldn't be an issue if you just go to the top of the keybind window and click "Character Specific Keybinds". Once that is checked the bindings won't be set account wide.

I don't see why you wouldn't do this anyway and don't worry about how much the main is looting - it's how I've had mine set up since this feature was introduced

Oh thanks so much for character specific keybinding, that'll save so much sanity lol

The reason I don't want main to loot first is because when I do collection quests (yes I do do them), I want my main to complete the quest LAST. I don't care which slave completes the quest in which order, as long as the main completes it last. This way:
1. I still see sparkling object on the ground from my main until everyone is finished.
2. I use questhelper and I still get that icon showing the area where I should kill the mobs.

My team just hit Northrend (woot!) (80 Lock,58 priest, 59 pally, 80 mage or druid for instances), and I cleared out my quest logs, and respecced the pally to Ret (I was playing with tanking), and decided it was time to get the interact feature working - the lock is leader, and most of the time the pally just sat there.

I LOVE THIS NEW TOOL.

I have "interact with target" set to "`", and when I dot a mob, I hit "`" and the pally is off! I love love love love this! Finally, I can use some decent rotations with her! (to make a long story short, she's not going to tank until she can grab and keep aggro from the felguard - she's got a long haul before she does that).

This one keybind opens up a whole new game. Thank you Blizzard!

This week, I'm setting up the looting/skinning/collecting/whatever macros.

I'd been getting a little bored - now i'm all fired up again! Interact is going to make life SO much easier - and makes melee much more viable! 5 Rogues? It can be done!

I found a much easier (for me) alternative for whole group looting.

1) Unbind following Keybinds on all 5 WoWs:
Shift+1
Shift+2
Shift+3
Shift+4

2) On each slave char set Interact With Target like this:
1st Slave Char Shift+1
2nd Slace Char Shift+2
3rd Slave Char Shift+3
4th Slace Char Shift+4

3) In WoW go to:
Options > Interface > Mouse, and turn on Click-to-Move

Kill a mob, then press either of the shift combinations to make the designated slave char loot/interact with NPC.

@Dzonatan

why the 'Click-to-move' ? would that make my alts move to the target if i interact with them?? (hadn't tried this)

Yes, if the target is lootable, attackable, or talkable they will run to it to loot, attack, or talk. It's nice for when the alts are slightly out of range to loot or talk to someone. Also it can be used to have them face their enemy target. Just tap a movement button to keep them from running toward it too.

The infomation right here is "GOLD" and has helped me out 100% for looting and professions. TY
