ISBoxer: How to setup a quick face target command

[Tyval]

Part of this was posted in another thread and figured it should be in the right forum so easier for folks searching etc.


Ualaa mentioned how to set this up.

V

ery simple.

Create a new mapped key.
Probably in the General Keymap, so it applies to all your teams.

Give it a hotkey of choice.
Two steps.
Steps advance on press and release.
Step 1, sends IWT keybind to all clients.
Step 2, sends 's' or 'downarrow' to all clients.

I tried this but couldn't quite get it to work, but then I may be horribly confused on IWT.

Here is my response

Struggling getting this working.

Set it up with the following


1) Hold any Keystroke Actions while Hotkey is Held: Off.
2) Execute a step when the hotkey is : Pressed or Released
(you mentioned advance on press and release which I assume is same thing)

3)Use FTL modifiers: off (though tried on as well)

Then added 2 steps.

Step 1)
target: All w/o current
Key Map: General
Mapped Key: Interact with Target

Step 2)
Target: All W/o current
Key combination: S

Doesn't seem to work, I think my first step might be bad... If I change the first setting to hold any keystroke actions to off, I get 1/2 the behavior. First push nothing, second time move back.

I haven't done anything with IWT specifically yet, so perhaps I'm not understanding that.

I'm sure I'm missing something silly , thanks for any help

His works, it looks to me.

Go into your blizzard keybinds and and set "whateverkey" to interact with target

If you use "s" make sure it is also bound in the blizzard keybinds to "move backwards"

[universal]

be sure that you have click to move enabled!

I've changed the command which gets run when you switch a session, so the then slaves have click to move enabled, and the master has it disabled i could copy the relevant stuff if wished, just have to power up my gaming rig then.

[Lax]

Tyval, the difference here is that the guy you're trying to copy isn't using the standard Interact with Target mapped key generated by the wizard -- he has CTM enabled for the slaves when he switches (e.g. what universal said). The standard IWT key turns it on only for a moment, and requires multiple steps. That's not going to work right in your case because a Do Mapped Key Action is only going to execute the first step of the IWT mapped key. Technically you can add a second Do Mapped Key Action to execute the second step (which turns CTM back off).

[Ualaa]

When I made my IWT mapped keys (I use two types), there wasn't one made by the wizard.

My set up is basically.
Caster/Ranged teams - Enable CTM on slaves, Disable on the master.
Melee teams - Enable CTM on every switch for all toons.

IWT (a) - Hotkey to send IWT keybind to all windows.
IWT (b) - No hotkey, built into some mapped keys as an extra step, using press/release... and another mapped key (a toggle) enabling/disabling this mapped key... so that when its enabled, dps = iwt as well, but when disabled dps is just dps.

@universal

Wow - how do you change the session switch command to enable CTM on slaves and disable on master? I had no idea that was possible - I would love that!

Thx in advance!

In IS Boxer toolkit, if you click on any of your character sets (top pane), it will list the slots (with toon name under Slot number) on the bottom left.

If you click on the 1, 2, etc.. it will tell you which mapped key is run on a character switch.

I've gone and changed mine, with a different mapped key for each Slot leading.
So I have Slot 1 is Leader, Slot 2 is Leader etc.
But you could modify an existing key quite easily or make your own if you want to leave the existing mapped keys the same.

If you look under Control Keymaps, the on a switch mapped keys are listed here.
Let's say you create a new one.
Left click on Control at the top, then right click on Mapped Keys in the left (bottom) pane.
Call it something like On Switch.

One Step is fine, as we want the same thing to happen on each character change.

Click the 1 under Steps, and then right click on Actions in the right pane.
Choose Keymap Action >> Do Mapped Key Action.
The first one will be the default move that was previously listed under the "on switch run this mapped key".
For me that was JambaMaster, but could be Follow/JambaMaster or whatever.
So now the new key does everything the old key used to.

In addition, add two more Do Mapped Key Actions.
Have it run CTM Off, for the Current Window.
And have it run CTM On, for the other windows (All Without Current).

My CTM On and CTM Off mapped keys are both set to Current Window as their target.
So when CTM On is run, in the current window it applies to the current window (active character).
When my CTM Off is run by the (active character), the mapped key is run in the windows of the non-active characters and applies to their window (the current window from the perspective of the mapped key).

Wow thank you Ualaa! I started boxing in February and I've been lurking on these forums for a while, and have found your posts (and videos) to be extremely well structured, succinct, and enlightening. Thank you so much for all your help. Also thanks to Lax for this fantastic software.

Ah that explains it, I am in fact using the wizard created macros. ( and ya for those, they provide nice templates when I want to add something, and of course the handiness of being mostly good to go from the start!)


So to make sure I understand it, what I should do is for my first step send the "key" that is bound to IWT. Not use the wizard created key mapping?

I will play with this when I get home from work.

Just to make sure I'm not being completely dense, CTM is Click to Move?

Kind of on the way edge of my knowledge with all this, but good to be expanding what I know and can do. Thanks!

I've not run the wizard recently, so don't know exactly what the CTM/IWT mapped keys look like.

I was under the impression it was something to the effect:
- Press or Release.
Step 1:
- Enable CTM (All Windows)
- Send IWT Keybind
Step 2:
- Disable CTM (All Windows)

If that's the case, you could go something very similar.

- Press or Release.
Step 1:
- Enable CTM (All Windows)
- Send IWT Keybind
Step 2:
- Send Down Arrow
- Disable CTM (All Windows)
