Binding Spells to Keys?

[thefunk]

you don't need to do it via macro, just create a mapped key with the modifier, so you'd have 1 mapped key doing shift, 1 doing control etc...

Okay having a bit of a problem broadcasting what I need to happen.

I created the macros under ACTIONS and I can only seem to get them to work when I'm in my Druid's window. Not when I'm in my main tank's window. I thought those keys would broadcast from my Paladin's window to all windows.

I selected 0-4 on the number pad while in my druid window and it selects each party member accordingly. I select the spell macros I put in spots 7, 8, 9, 6, 5 and they cast fine on any of the targets (0-4), but when I switch to my Paladin's window only a couple of the spells work correctly and I cannot choose different targets by pressing the 0-4 buttons on the number pad.

I'll keep experimenting to see what I'm doing wrong.

What should "Target" be set to? I want to be able to use these no matter what window I might be using.

If I use a modifier in the wow instance macro on lets say the druid wow window, does ISBoxer pass that along? As I am not a ISBoxer user, I am unsure if this is supported, though from the descriptions listed above, it doesn't appear so.

the issue here is as so, I have priest healer buttons assigned to directly heal party members, but I use modifiers (shift, alt, ctrl) to pass along lets say a renew on party3 instead of a greater heal, thus keeping healing buttons limited to one per character in raid/group etc I know in HNK, I have to pass all three key presses, but not sure how ISBoxer handles this, thanks in advance

Let's say you have a warcraft macro (and put it on the "1" key):

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:alt] Drain Soul; Chaos Bolt

When you push 1, that is the trigger for the mapped key: DPS 1, in the FTL DPS Keymap.
This will:
a) Do Mapped Key > FTL Assist Me (Target: Current Window) .... which has the non-active (slave) windows assist the active (master) window.
b) It then sends "1" to all windows.

To send Alt + 1, you need to make another mapped key.

In the FTL DPS Keymap, right click on Mapped Keys.
Create a new mapped key.
Call it something like DPS 1 + Alt.
Set the Hotkey as Alt + 1.
Click on the "1" under Steps.
In the right pane, right click on Actions.
Keymap Actions > New Do Mapped Key Action
- Target: Current Window
- Keymap: General
- Mapped Key: FTL Assist Me
Then right click on Actions again.
Keystroke Actions > New Keystroke Action
- Target: All Windows
- Key: Alt + 1

Now, when you press 1, IS Boxer does the auto assist for you, and sends "1" to all clients.
And if you do the Alt + 1, it does the same, but sends Alt + 1 to all clients.

You could do the same for Ctrl or Shift modifiers.

Okay I am now a bit educated! I used a combination of what thefunk and Ualaa said and was able to make macros that I bound to my number pad. I now can select 0 (self), 1, 2, 3, 4 (respective party members), and 7 (regrowth), 8 (wild growth), and 9 (Healing Touch). I also have my oh crap spell of Tranquility bound to 6.

Thanks you two. Now I am able to fumble my way through some of this and be a bit better at it. I'm sure there will be more questions in the future.

usually window->all or something like that. Make sure your tank hasn't got those keys set to something else.

Also if your macro has got something like "/cast @tank" don't use FTL modifiers (in fact, I wouldn't use modifiers for heals full stop)

[Malgor]

Hmmm. My macros are simple:
/cast Regrowth
or
/cast Wild Growth
I target the toons by 0-4 on the Number Pad, but it only seems to work from my druid's window. I went into the Key Bindings in WoW on all the other toons and took out any key bindings that have to do with the number pad numbers (0-9) so that they wouldn't conflict with what I'm trying to set up.

Under Target my options are:
Window:Current
Window:All w/o Current
Window:All w/ Current
Character Slot:1(name-server)
Character Slot:2(name-server)
Character Slot:3(name-server)
Character Slot:4(name-server)
Character Slot:5
Character:name-server
Character:name-server
Character:name-server
Character:name-server
Character:name-server

I had chosen Window:All w/ Current. I must be missing some other broadcast feature since it only works on my druid's keys 0-4 on the number pad since I have those bound on only his Key Bindings in WoW?

Shift+NumPad1 = End
Shift+NumPad3 = PageDown

Alt+NumPad1 = ☺
Alt+NumPad2 = ☻

etc...

If you have Shift or Alt as FTL modifiers or key combinations...using the number pad is most likely going to give odd results.

EDIT: I think it's just Shift that gives odd results...

[Malgor]

I am not using any FTL modifiers as far as I know. I am not using shift, alt or ctrl.

Right now I am experiencing just two problems.

1. In WoW I bound my target keys 0-4 on the number pad with 0 being self, 1 being party member 1, and so on. I unbound any keys on my other characters that were associated with the number pad, so only my healer would be the only one with those keys bound. PROBLEM: Only on my druid's screen can I use those keys to select who I want my druid to heal by pressing 0-4 on the number pad.

2. In ISBoxer I created four heal buttons on the number pad, each associated with a different heal spell. I can activate 3 of the four, but for some reason when I press the button for /cast Rejuvenation, the spell won't cast no matter what button I put it on.

[Malgor]

I am sure I am doing this the hard way, but what I did to fix the targeting problem was to create five new mapped keys and associate them to target each member of my team with /select [target=party0] through 4 and assign them all to the number pad keys 0-4. This worked and my targeting works perfect for heals now.

And I finally got rejuvenation working - not sure what finally made it work, but it does.

Thanks for everyone's help!
