10 box leaderless setup

[Smoooth]

I don't want to go full FTL with my 10 box team but I would like to go leaderless at least. That way if my main dies I can continue by just using another.

I'm using a focus setup now where everyone does a /cast [target=focustarget]. What I want to do is have my follow button also set the focus to whoever I pressed it with.

Everyone knows the standard FTL macro

/assist 
[mod:ctrl,mod:shift,nomod:alt]ToonA;
[mod:ctrl,mod:alt,nomod:shift]ToonB;
[mod:alt,mod:shift,nomod:ctrl]ToonC;
[mod:ctrl,mod:alt,mod:shift]ToonD;
[mod:ctrl,nomod:alt,nomod:shift]ToonE

Now how could I change that to allow 10 different targets? Do wow macros allow left and right as part of the modifiers..like lctrl and rctrl? And can I split the macro into 2 separate macros and use /click because it will be too long?

Thanks for the help.

yes l and r mods can be used in macro you can also save a ton of space in a few different ways.

/focus [mod:rctrlrshift,nomod:alt]ToonA;[mod:rctrlralt,nomod:shift]ToonB;[mod:raltrshift,nomod:ctrl]ToonC;[mod:rctrlraltrshift]ToonD;[mod:rctrl,nomod:alt/shift]ToonE; [mod:lctrllshift,nomod:alt]ToonF;[mod:lctrllalt,nomod:shift]ToonG;[mod:laltlshift,nomod:ctrl]ToonH;[mod:lctrllaltlshift]ToonI;[mod:lctrl,nomod:alt/shift]ToonJ

If you have something that allows for longer macros that does it with 5 character names at 323 characters. Don't use different lines for ech char this saves 1 char per toon. Remove the excess mod: sections and you save 4 per mod. Remove extra nomod: sections and replace with a / between mods and you save 5 chars per nomod.

to make it fit into the 255 limit you will have to use click, here is the 3 click based macros you will need.

Control macro:

/stopmacro [nomod]
/click [mod:rshift/rctrl/ralt] MultiBarRightButton1
/click [mod:lshift/lctrl/lalt] MultiBarRightButton2
/focus
/targetlasttarget

Button1 Macro:

/target [mod:rctrlrshift,nomod:alt]ToonA;[mod:rctrlralt,nomod:shift]ToonB;[mod:raltrshift,nomod:ctrl]ToonC;[mod:rctrlraltrshift]ToonD;[mod:rctrl,nomod:alt/shift]ToonE;

Button 2 Macro:

/target [mod:lctrllshift,nomod:alt]ToonF;[mod:lctrllalt,nomod:shift]ToonG;[mod:laltlshift,nomod:ctrl]ToonH;[mod:lctrllaltlshift]ToonI;[mod:lctrl,nomod:alt/shift]ToonJ

The first macro can be the same on all characters. The leader will have to have a provision to shoot their target, otherwise add /focus [nomod,target=player] before the stopmacro. Then the leader will focus themself and shoot their own target using the same macro everyone else uses to shoot the focus target.

You can include up to 5 mods per check, if you did that you will be able to free up a mod for secondary abilities in a macro. However, the click macro will run a bit longer, but will still be well under the 255 limit.

Hopefully that helps

Thanks Bettysue. I was thinking of a way to do this as well. At least so I can make the team 2 tank leader if needs be.

Thanks so much bettysue. Your macros work perfectly. However, this isn't working for me because I found a bug in keyclone.

I don't want to go through all the troubleshooting I did so just trust me that this is true.
When you keymap keyclone to send LCTRL + key it will send RCTRL + key. I'm in the process of changing all the macros to leave out LCTRL completely. I'll post em when I'm done for others to use if they want.

edit: LSHIFT and LALT work but there seems to be some problems with the right modifiers also. What a pain in the ass.
Also to clarify, the macros work perfectly by manually holding down the modifiers and clicking the control macro. Keyclone just has issues sending the right modifiers.

Have you considered using IS Boxer?

I spent an entire weekend trying to figure out to get the whole FTL setup to work with Keyclone until I read a thread where someone suggested that.

I picked it up and within 30 minutes I was fully setup and utilizing a FTL setup -- IS Boxer is awesome, it does it all for you -- whichever screen you select to be your main (you can click on them or bind a key, I use alt 1 through 5) and that becomes the main, the resto auto assist and follow

-Yep. this bug exists in keyclone since its beginning and Rob should be aware of it, as several times it was mentioned (but sadly never fixed). For me it was the dealbracker for using keyclone and my number one reason to switch to hkn.

Well I'm glad it worked first shot, no need to thank me I was spending your tax dollars replying :P You paid for the support in advance without ever knowing it
