Thus is my dilemma.
And just as a curious point..... when it says in the sticky LBAT...thats Lightning Bolt toonA Target..... would I write that as LBroscoeT if my toons name was roscoe?
Again sorry to sound stupid, but Im the type of person that can learn easier from watching something done, than by reading how to do it.......its a pain....especially if Im working on a car lol
Alright if you would like to use the method as it is written in the guide, you will need 2 bar places for each spell you wish to use for FTL. I will use Lightning Bolt (LB) as an example since it's the one you mentioned.
Follow the directions in the guide for setting the hotstrings, it's a bit confusing but take your time and just work on getting one spell done, then the rest will be just a bunch of repetition. If you end up totally hung up, I can send you a hotstring file as an example. It may be outdated as I haven't used it in nearly a year, which is why I suggest you try really hard first :P
LBAT is fine for naming, it can be anything you want as long as you remember it. Basically you're just making a bunch of references to thing that will appear in your macros in WoW.
A = ctrl+shift
B = shift+alt
C = ctrl+alt
D = ctrl+shift+alt
E = ctrl
I will be using these for the example...it may not match the guide. "A" just means the first toon, you could use the full name but typing it 100 times gets tedious.
What will happen when using the guide while on "A" is "2" will be sent to "A" and "ctrl+shift [" will be sent to "B,C,D,and E"
So in game we need to have the normal LB spell dragged down on to the actionbar and "2" bound to that location.
Another spot will have "[" bound to it with a macro placed in that location.
The macro needs to tell the character which toon to target/assist dependent upon the keypress combo sent by KC.
Iwould make the macro the same on all toons for simplicity, even though the toon will never receive their modifier combo it makes it so you can simply copy and paste to the other toons.
Okay back to that macro on the actionbar with "[" bound to it for firing LB at enemies. It should look like this on all of the toons: (note: the names DO need to be modified here to match actual toon names A=Bob B=Frank C=Jim D=Tony E=Eddie)
Code:
/target [mod:ctrl, mod:shift, nomod:alt, @Bob][nomod:ctrl, mod:shift, mod:alt, @Frank][mod:ctrl, nomod:shift, mod:alt, @Jim][mod:ctrl, mod:shift, nomod:alt, @Tony][mod:ctrl, nomod:shift, nomod:alt, @Eddie]
/cast [@targettarget] Lightning Bolt
/cleartarget
What Jamba does for you in this case is get rid of the need to type out the long target line. Here you can simply find the JambaFTL addon setup the modifiers appropriately and reduce the macro above to just:
Code:
/click JambaFTLTarget
/cast [@targettarget] Lightning Bolt
/cleartarget
I hope that helps a bit, if you have more questions feel free to post about what you've tried and what you expected to happen vs what actually happens. Posting a macro sample and hotstring files can speed things up as well.
Good Luck
