Stop Strobe Follow when switching toons in instances

[zanthor]

I have my windows setup to execute a keymap with 2 steps when I switch to them, the first step is a macro to turn follow strobe off for that character ONLY. The second executes my follow strobe macro to make everyone follow that character. The steps reset after 2 seconds.

So when I'm in the middle of combat or prepping positioning as described I can flip to a character and move them by pressing the key once... or if I want the world to follow, I just doubletap.

So, with your set up...

You have everyone following behind the tank (for example).
This is strobe follow.

On a character switch, none of the automatic follow options occur.
Otherwise, everyone would immediately follow the new toon.

So the new toon, is still on auto follow / strobe, following the tank.

Press the hot key once, to release the current toon from Strobe.
Which gets you independent movement, for that toon.
Or press it again, to have the others Strobe follow transferred to the new toon.

Sorry guys I am still confused here.

Question 1. what exactly is making my toons auto follow after I switch window? The jamba strobe is off for me at all times. Did it get enabled when I do window switch ?

Question 2. How do I assign keymap to a window switching event ?

This frustrates me big time in ICC5 man. As I can't control individual characters when I want to. I see no benefits by having auto follow after window switching.
