    Default Can't get macro to disable follow strobe to work

    To be honest I still don't seem to get it as far as making new macros for general/control (such as disabling follow strobe, etc.) No matter how I set them up, what I try to bind them to - they effectively do absolutely nothing. I figure it's some basic concept about ISBoxer that I don't know yet, because I run into this every time I try to make a new key.

    My latest one is a disable (not toggle) follow strobe macro, which I want to use in several places (moving one toon without it re-following every second, interact with target, turning, etc.). This one I have tried binding to every key I can think of, modifiers of all kinds (making sure not to use anything in my FTL), and making sure the keys weren't bound to anything else in WoW. It currently looks like this (and doesn't do anything):

    Code:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <Box xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
      <ObjectType>ISBoxer_Toolkit.Configs.KeyMaps.MappedKey</ObjectType>
      <SerializedObject>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
    &lt;MappedKey xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"&gt;
      &lt;Name&gt;Disable Follow Strobing&lt;/Name&gt;
      &lt;Combo&gt;
        &lt;Combo&gt;Alt+Num 2&lt;/Combo&gt;
        &lt;Modifiers&gt;Alt&lt;/Modifiers&gt;
        &lt;Key&gt;
          &lt;Key&gt;Num 2&lt;/Key&gt;
          &lt;Code&gt;80&lt;/Code&gt;
        &lt;/Key&gt;
      &lt;/Combo&gt;
      &lt;SendNextClickBlockLocal&gt;false&lt;/SendNextClickBlockLocal&gt;
      &lt;Steps&gt;
        &lt;Step&gt;
          &lt;Actions&gt;
            &lt;MappedKeyAction xsi:type="WoWMacroAction"&gt;
              &lt;ShortName&gt;strobeoff all&lt;/ShortName&gt;
              &lt;Target&gt;all&lt;/Target&gt;
              &lt;Combo&gt;
                &lt;Combo&gt;Right Ctrl+Right Alt+Num 2&lt;/Combo&gt;
                &lt;Modifiers&gt;RightCtrl RightAlt&lt;/Modifiers&gt;
                &lt;Key&gt;
                  &lt;Key&gt;Num 2&lt;/Key&gt;
                  &lt;Code&gt;80&lt;/Code&gt;
                &lt;/Key&gt;
              &lt;/Combo&gt;
              &lt;WoWMacro&gt;
                &lt;PreCommand&gt;None&lt;/PreCommand&gt;
                &lt;MacroCommands&gt;/jamba-follow strobeoff all&lt;/MacroCommands&gt;
                &lt;TargetLastTarget&gt;false&lt;/TargetLastTarget&gt;
              &lt;/WoWMacro&gt;
            &lt;/MappedKeyAction&gt;
          &lt;/Actions&gt;
        &lt;/Step&gt;
      &lt;/Steps&gt;
    &lt;/MappedKey&gt;</SerializedObject>
    </Box>
    Again I've tried keys all over my keyboard, it simply doesn't do anything. Here's a mapped key I try to call it from (characters turn of course, but immediately refollow).

    Code:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <Box xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
      <ObjectType>ISBoxer_Toolkit.Configs.KeyMaps.MappedKey</ObjectType>
      <SerializedObject>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
    &lt;MappedKey xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"&gt;
      &lt;Name&gt;Turn Counterclockwise&lt;/Name&gt;
      &lt;Combo&gt;
        &lt;Combo&gt;A&lt;/Combo&gt;
        &lt;Modifiers&gt;None&lt;/Modifiers&gt;
        &lt;Key&gt;
          &lt;Key&gt;A&lt;/Key&gt;
          &lt;Code&gt;30&lt;/Code&gt;
        &lt;/Key&gt;
      &lt;/Combo&gt;
      &lt;Hold&gt;
        &lt;Value&gt;true&lt;/Value&gt;
      &lt;/Hold&gt;
      &lt;UseFTLModifiers&gt;
        &lt;Value&gt;false&lt;/Value&gt;
      &lt;/UseFTLModifiers&gt;
      &lt;SendNextClickBlockLocal&gt;false&lt;/SendNextClickBlockLocal&gt;
      &lt;Steps&gt;
        &lt;Step&gt;
          &lt;Actions&gt;
            &lt;MappedKeyAction xsi:type="MappedKeyExecuteAction"&gt;
              &lt;Target&gt;self&lt;/Target&gt;
              &lt;KeyMapString&gt;General&lt;/KeyMapString&gt;
              &lt;MappedKeyString&gt;Disable Follow Strobing&lt;/MappedKeyString&gt;
            &lt;/MappedKeyAction&gt;
            &lt;MappedKeyAction xsi:type="Keystroke"&gt;
              &lt;Target&gt;all other&lt;/Target&gt;
              &lt;Combo&gt;
                &lt;Combo&gt;A&lt;/Combo&gt;
                &lt;Modifiers&gt;None&lt;/Modifiers&gt;
                &lt;Key&gt;
                  &lt;Key&gt;A&lt;/Key&gt;
                  &lt;Code&gt;30&lt;/Code&gt;
                &lt;/Key&gt;
              &lt;/Combo&gt;
            &lt;/MappedKeyAction&gt;
          &lt;/Actions&gt;
        &lt;/Step&gt;
      &lt;/Steps&gt;
    &lt;/MappedKey&gt;</SerializedObject>

    What am I missing here? I have this issue a lot, I think I'm missing something and keep making the same mistake.

    Please enlighten me as to why I haven't been able to successfully make a single key map in ISBoxer other than what I copied and pasted from the wizard's dps keys, then I won't have to bug you anymore

    not sure you posted your config correctly, I can not load it into isboxer.

    but I do not use follow strobing, caused more problems for me then anything. What I use now is just a follow key that makes all characters follow and assist key to make all toons assist.

    also there is an option in jamba to make them auto-follow after combat.

    if you can post your whole config to http://pastebin.com/ I can try to help ya further

    Ive had this problem too. Turning off Strobing /jamba-follow strobeoff all (or something similar), WONT stop the toons from following you.

    It will only turn off the strobe factor (of to re follow on character switch). You then have to break the auto follow. So add in a second step to that hotkey, to hit the forward key or some other key that will break the follow. Turning Strobing off doesn;t break follow, just the 're-follow' once its broken.

    As Phantomrogue said. Along withthe cancel strobe command you need to move the alts to break the follow.

    Same thing here but never saw it as a bug since it has the same behavior as if you follow normally (without jamba).

    Thanks, but it's actually not that in this case - keyboard turning breaks follow. In the macro I posted, I have it to turn off follow strobing, then to keyboard turn on all alts - no matter what they immediately re-follow.

    I use a toggle for Jamba Strobing.
    If I switch from one toon to another, they automatically follow the new toon.
    If I press the arrow keys, then the toons move forward/backward or strafe left/right as I have configured.

    Pressing my follow keymap doesn't seem to do anything.
    But turning follow strobe on, and then off (or leaving it on) and follow resumes.
    When I want to break follow, I make sure my MR (G-key light is off, so strobe is off) and then press an arrow key.
