5 box follow / attack Q

[Zealer]

I am using jamba with ISBoxer for a 5 man team. I have tried to get my dps and heals to stop following tank in boss fights and cant seem to get it to work. I tried to turn off strobing in combat, unbound movement keys so if i use wasd rather than arrow keys in fight they would stay behind etc... Any thoughts how I can stop slaves from following? Thanks

This thread is 2 years old. You probably would have gotten more responses by now if you'd started a new thread.

Follow strobing won't turn off until your slaves are in combat. If you break movement before engaging in combat, your slaves are only going to start following again because they aren't in combat yet. Or if they drop combat again, they will start following, even if combat isn't actually over.

Use the follow strobe off command in your break movement key {/jamba-follow strobeoff <tag>} or avoid using follow strobing at all when you are going to be repeatedly going into combat. I usually don't use follow strobing for anything but mounted travel.

IMO the best/easiest thing for both of you to do would be to remake your team in isboxer. Don't delete your current one but use the wizard to make a new one and on the last page with the jamba settings make sure you leave them alone (just use what is default. Then in your <general> key map add your dpad (arrow keys) and make them all w/o current (also if you wiped your default wow key ones as most do) make sure to set ur dpad as movement. I also set <shift +q and shift+e as strafe on my slaves as well and made a hot key for v=down arrow (all w/o current) you can try to modify your existing team but if you chose jamba follow strobe on the last page in the wizard I don't know how to disable it, in mine it just turns it right back on that's why I remade the team. Probably wasn't much help but I thought I would throw my experience out there

Thanks for the input. I redid my group as suggested with only default. then regonfigured keys of my slaves to only use keypad for movement so i can go to wasd on tank keeping them back (didn't work). The wrote macros for jamba-follow strobeon (master name) and one for strobeoff (master name) and then boundkeys to this - didn't work either. I am not skilled at the whole key binding and command part of teh game. What am I doing wrong? Appreciate the input. BTW this ISboxer is amazing

The macro isn't /jamba-follow strobeoff (master name). It's /jamba-follow strobeoff all

[Zealer]

Hrmm - not working that way either. I must be missing something. I changed it to all and made a macro for all 5 players and bound to shift F for strobeon and alt f for strobeoff on each character. when I hit the hot keys it says unknown unit. Thoughts? this is really a key step for me to continue Thanks!

You should only need the macro {and probably the bindings} on the master.

Stopping follow strobing does not break follow. You still need to use a movement key to break follow after terminating strobing. Are you doing that?

As jstanthr said, you should probably run a fresh setup wizard leave the default settings in ISBoxer for Jamba alone and just make strobing macros in game. Add /jamba-follow strobeonme slave to your Master's follow macro and /jamba-follow strobeoff all to your Master's formation macro or whatever you are using to break follow/spread out your toons.

Thanks, I will try that later tonite. I assume when you say break movement you are referring to changing key bindings for movement. I will set that up as well (i keep arrow keys for movement and remove the wasd keys from all slaves). This may seem fundamental, but the movement macros and formations seems to be the harder part fo the multi-boxing for me so far. Thanks for your help and patience. The new guy!

[Khatovar]

You shouldn't need to change keybinds. Just create a keymap in ISBoxer or there should be formation keys set up by default IIRC.

Ok I followed the videos and I am making progress. i set up a formation, I cannot find a way even with key binds to get them to Stop following? I'll keep messing with it - I think im close - ty
