Switchable macro sets with variables - Addon - Jamba-Macro

[Jafula]

Some changes in with Jamba-Dev Update 8.

Can now:

/click JMB_macroname where macroname is the name of a maco
use tags as variable replacements - i.e. #master# for the character with the jamba master tag.
macros now have a tag and only characters with the same tag will enable the macro.
will now check that names are only made up of letters and numbers.

I'm using jamba macro as macro generator not only for multi but for any situation.

Maybe a request , a macro export system to move easily the setup.
The push works but sometime is a trouble to move from different pc and accounts

Thanks for your great tool

hi there jafula, frist thx for your awesome work with this addon

now to the point :P , i little new with macros and with your addon, i manage to set up the team, they do the follow they update anything i modify on the master, but i couldnt make macros work. let me told what i did, maybe you or another player could help me. My game its on spanish, but i check macros individualy, for examble on druid i type "/cast [target=calemon] Toque de sanación" and works, so isnt the diferent spelling between languajes.
i set this on core tags



i set those variables for chars and 1 for a healing to test it



and those are the macros



F1 for heal calemon, F2 for krunc and F3 for richart
the macro sets is "heals"



and well, dont work. any idea about why?

In the last screenshot, the macro section, you need to add the variable set Party to the heals macro. To do this type Party into the field Variable Set and press Enter.

Now you need to build the macros, to do this click the Build Macros (Team) button.

It should work now.

A note: you have a tag toon1 and a variable called toon1 (same with toon2 and toon3). You only need the tag on the toon, not the variable, so in your variable section, you could remove the toon1, toon2 and toon3 variables as long as your characters all had toonX tags.

thx for the tips jafula. with your advices this seems to work ... shorta. Now when i press F1 from krunc (Slave,the druid) he cast healing touch on Calemon (pally, master), as intended. but nothing happen if i do it from master.

i try to use next one

/cast [target=#toon1#] #heal#
/cast [target=#toon1#] #pheal#

where "heal" is healing touch and "pheal" is divine light.

when i hit from pall, he heals himself with divine, but druid no nothing, when i cast from druid, druid heals but pally do nothing
the idea is when i use F1, i cast both, pally and druid healings on the pally. F2 do the same, for the druid, and F3 do the same, for the warlock, but somehow, keystrokes dont spread through slaves.
when i manage to do that, ill do the next step, make macros for nuke.

anyone know why?

No instance of WoW can cause another instance of WoW to perform any action. As far as Blizzard knows your two accounts are two very different people. What you are asking is for 1 account to send a signal to another account and cause that other account to perform an action. While every single multiboxer here would love it if that was possible, the fact of the matter is that it is not. This has nothing to do with Jamba but is rather limitations put into WoW way back in some of the earliest patches. (There was a time you could whisper a raidmate and get a buff for instance, even in combat).

What you need is a keyboard broadcaster. You can use either hardware or software and there are tons of options in the other forums. I'd suggest going to the New Multiboxers & Support forum.

I don't know how to do this easily without writing a third party program. Perhaps you could use the curse client as a premium member, it lets you copy addons (and I think settings) from one PC to another.

I did not read through all the posts following the OP, so I'm sorry if this has been addressed.

I want to be able to change the character a variable points to on the fly.

I use /click on my Paladins.

/click macro:

/click dps macro 1
/click dps macro 2
/click dps macro 3
/click heal tank macro
/stopcasting


Heal Tank Macro:

/cast [target="tank"] Flash of Light

I spam this and the tank is constantly healed whenever Art of War procs. I would like to be able to press a hotkey to change this target as I please, so I can continue spamming the same key, but instead spend the Art of War procs on another character.

Something like:

/cast [target=VARIABLE] Flash of Light

and

F1 -> VARIABLE = "Tank"
F2 -> VARIABLE = "Char2"
F3 -> VARIABLE = "Char3"

etc.

Can this be accomplished?
