[And Jamba] Healing-idea -> need your help

[Filon]

Hi,

first of all, i've got to say, that i'm german and my english is far from perfect. i hope you'll still get the idea, of what i'm trying to say

so, im new to muliboxing. i use isboxer, and im really happy with it. im boxing a 5 shaman team.
i want to build my setup as dynamic as possible (i want to be able to switch to any character at any time and have the same interface etc.) with isboxer this works quit well.

now for my healing i have an idea, that i have some major issues with. i wanna do healing with klicks. i want to put the healing spells (makros) next to the specific characters in my jamba team window. then i want to lay an isboxer-click-box over these spells, so if i click it on my current window, the click will be send to all windows. here is a graphic how it should look like:




so the click-box, that sends the clicks to all windows is gonna lay over the bar for my healing-spells. The idea is that whenever i see one of my shamans has low health i just click the healing spell next to him an 2 of the other shamans are gonna cast healing spells on him (basically).
i want to have the healing spells next to the character, so i dont have to think about it a lot and just click whenever he has low hp. i dont wanna go like this: noticing one of my shamans is at low hp -> trying to read the name (all are named pretty similar, so that would be hard) -> searching the heal-marcro for this specific shaman.


now the problem is, i cant put the healing bar next to the group-portrais, since they are in a different order for any of the shamans. i was hoping i could configure jamba to display the same order on any of the shamans, but that doesn't work either since it has a different order as well....

any idea, how i can fix this? or any better idea for healing?


im thankfull for any help! and again, sry for my english

Well, I use isboxer (mouse broadcasting window region) with VuhDo. Vuhdo lets me display my party members in alphabetical order (with a health bar). I just click on the heath bar that is low and everyone (or just one/some) heals. It allows me to switch to any character and heal. Although I do all my healing from my (tank) paladin's screen.

Vuhdo is an option.

Another is Grid (with GridCustomLayouts).
If you go with Grid, you'll need Clique too (Grid to display, Clique to heal on a click).
Type /Grid Config
Click on Layouts, click on Advanced.
Enter a new Layout.
nameList="ToonA,ToonB,ToonC,ToonD,ToonE"

Not sure if you can do alphabetical with Heal Bot.

Once they are displayed alphabetically, its easy.
The display is the same on every toon.
And no matter who is switched into or out of the group, once the repeater regions have been configured for each combination, it works.

thanks a lot you two!!

yet i have a nother big issue: when i klick an icon in a repeater region, and then i click my lightningbold-key (mouse button 5) it wont click lightningbolt on my toons anymore, but it will click the last button i clicked through a repeater region..... i hope you understand what i mean
when i turn keyboard+mouse-repeating on, and then off again, it will work as it should be again.... any solution for that problem?

I have 5x druid and used to setup my healing using macros on F1-F5. When I did my switch to ISboxer I setup Repeater Regions in conjunction with Vuhdo. It works like a charm, and I can highly recommend it.

Hi Filon!

I do (nearly) exactly what you describe for my group healin, although with HKN not IS, but as far as I know IS should work perfect for this...

..for getting the toon in the same order on all chars I use the following:

- pitbull as unitframes and us the 'sort alphabetical' option.
- grid also with alphabetical sorting turned on (this you have to specify in a lua-file, not in WoW directly)
(and kgpanels for showing buttonart as a graphical impression)
