Binding Spells to Keys?

[Malgor]

I am trying to get my team efficient. I want to delete all the bindings on the number pad for the numbers 0-9 and replace them with spells for my druid to heal the team without having to go to his screen.

I have removed the number pad bindings for my other characters so they have no assignment for 0-9. I have assigned 7, 4, 1, 8, 5 to target a specific party member. (I may change this so it's 0-4, but for right now that's what I did).

Now here is where I am unsure how to get spells on the other numbers that are left (0, 2, 3, 6, 9).

How can I bind specific spells to those numbers? Do I need an add on to do this?

My druid is only 73 so doesn't have his full arsenal of healing spells yet, but I'm practicing so want to get this all set up right now while I'm leveling them.

I use ISBoxer as my multi-boxing program.

Thanks again in advance,

Malgor

(I did search for this and couldn't find where anyone explained this. I googled and searched on here - most people just say that they use the number pad for spells, not how to specifically assign a spell to one of the number pad keys.)

I use an addon, Dominos, which allows me to use w/e key I want to place a macro. It's pretty easy to set-up. That's probably what you're looking for. There are other choices I'm sure, that's just the one i use.

unclear to your problem but IS assigns macros to keys. When setting things up, it asks you to hit a key. A bar manager might work also for putting a click for the key.

Where in IS can I assign a macro to a key? I have read through most of the walkthroughs for ISboxer and was still confused as to where I can do that.

Even with the default UI, you can drag spells onto action bars.
And then go into Keybindings, and assign whatever key combination (numpad, if you want) as the hotkey for that action bar.

If you Right Click on Actions, and select:
- Keystroke Actions > New World of Warcraft Macro Action

You'll need to assign a "Key Combination" which is a unique warcraft keybind.
This is something which you can push in-game to run that macro.
You'll still run this mapped key via the hotkey you assign, but could run it via the key combination too.

You have the option to "Display in Step", as whatever you want.
So while your macro might be, "/cast [nostance:3] Cat Form", you might display it as "Become a Kitty".

You have the option for, but first:
- Assist hot (active) character
- Target hot (active) character
And:
- And restore (previous) target afterwards.

The macros you create with IS Boxer are limited to 1024 characters (like other macro making addons), not the default 255.

You can also use {FTL} arguments in the macro.
{FTL} refers to the active character.

Ualaa -

I'm not sure where to do the instructions you listed. When I open up ISBoxer I don't see an "Actions" anywhere. The nearest thing to "Actions" is "Action Target Groups".

On the top window pane of ISBoxer I have -Characters; -Character Sets; -Key Maps (+General, +Control, +FTL DPS Keys, +WoW Key Bindings); -Window Layouts; +Repeater Profiles; +Click Bars; Action Target Groups; +Virtual Files; Computers.

I can click on any of those to have a new tree appear in the lower left pane and clicking on any of that list then brings up other options, but I think I've clicked and right clicked them all and can't find "Actions" anywhere.

I know I must be a total newb not being able to figure this out or find it.

Can you point me in the right direction? We might have to pretend that I'm not smarter than a 5th grader.

Thanks

This is what I do:

on the top part expand "key maps" and click on General. The bottom left section will show you "General" with expanded "Mapped Keys". Right-click on "Mapped Keys" and click "New Mapped Key".

Now click on the newly formed "New Mapped Key" and click the "hotkey" section on the right hand side to choose a key you want to press (let's say Num1). Also select whether you want FTL to apply to this mapped key (under "World of Warcraft: Use FTL Modifiers")

go back to the left-hand-side and right- click on 1 (below "Steps"). Now select "Keystroke Actions->New Keystroke action"

Under "Target" select which windows will receive the command

Under "Key Combination "select what the windows will receive (I.e. if your macro is on Num1, press Num1).

Save, Export to Innerspace, Bob's your uncle.

How do you attach screenshots to posts?

[Malgor]

Actually I found "Actions" now.

I'm confused as to where to put in what you suggested.

Should I make a new mapped key first? I am guessing it should be under FTL DPS KEYS/Mapped Keys, but that's just a guess at this point.

Help!

Thanks again,

Malgor

Thanks, thefunk! That's what I was looking for.

Not guaranteed I won't have more questions, but going to work with this a bit before I post more.
