Focus Changing... How do you guys handle it?

[wolpak]

I'm trying to brainstorm better ideas on how to change all characters' focus to my main. Jamba works great with the macro updating, but I don't believe it works in combat.

How do you guys handle it?

To contribute, I'll include the add-ons and macro I use below:

ADD-ONS: Jamba, Hotkeynet

FUNCTION: I use two macros to switch leaders. Each character is setup with a "Make Leader" (CTRL+F) and "Focus Leader" (ALT+F) macro. When I press CTRL+F, HKN broadcasts CTRL+F to my current "Main" window, and ALT+F to my slave windows. Jamba is also setup to make the 'master' character the leader, so the window that initiates /setmeasmaster turns into the group lead. The macros are written as follows:

MAKE LEADER MACRO:
/jamba setmeasmaster all
/clearfocus

FOCUS LEADER:
/focus party1

Since "Party1" is always the group leader, as soon as Jamba makes my "main character" the group lead /focus party1 will always change the slaves focus to the group lead.

The negatives:
1) There's a delay between receiving group lead, so I have to hit the button at least twice for /focus party1 to properly focus on my slave windows
2) If the group lead is someone outside of your Jamba group, then it doesn't work

Not sure if this is what you want, but let's see.

If you have 2 Toons (just make more for 5), do you have the windows switch when you change master? If not, you should as I set that up last night and it rocks. So, presuming you hit F2 and ToonB is now the leader and moves to your main screen, your mouse is over that window. Try this...

<HotKey 1>
<If MouseIsOverWindow Wow1>
<SendLabel Wow2>
<Key 2>
<Else If MouseIsOverWindow Wow2>
<SendLabel Wow1>
<Key 2>

This means that if your main window is Wow1 (your ToonA), and if you click "1" while moused over it, Key 2 gets sent to Wow2 (which is binded to a macro that focuses/follows/grabs his buns. The reverse happens if Wow2 is your active window and you hit "1".

Is that what you are looking for?
