KeyClone Keymap/Hotstring magic
OK, I'm using Keyclone and Jamba with a 3x Ele Shaman team. I spent 3 hours last night trying to setup FTL with only marginal succes. I've written a couple of simple wow addons, so I know how .lua and macros work so im not an entire noob; just FTL noob.
I understand the FTL macros and modifiers, I get all that. The part that just has me banging my head against the wall is hotstrings in keyclone. I've read countless thread and everyone just says create hotstrings for the macro but they dont go into detail about HOW to do it, or more importantly for me, how the hotstring's logic works. I know what the hot string does, I create in my case 3 entries so that when I push "2", "2" goes to the focus toon, and "crtl-alt-]" goes to one toon and "shift-ctrl-]" goes to the other.
What I dont understand is the LOGIC of the hotstring. for example, one I define 2 buttons in hotstrings, how does keyclone know what to pass to what toon? I've found no post does it explain how keyclone knows how to do this. Lets see if I can explain better.
In the Keyclone Keymap window you press a key sequence and then assign a label. One thread used this as an example.
Lightning Bolt (LBAT= Lightning Bolt A Toon, B Toon, C Toon)
2 --> LBAT
Ctrl-alt-] --> LBBT
Alt-Shift-] --> LBCT
ok great, now when i enter a second keybinding.
Chain Lightning(CLAT=Chain Lightning A Toon, B Toon, C Toon)
3 --> CLAT
Ctrl-alt-O --> CLBT
Alt-Shift-O --> CLCT
So what I ned up with in the keymap window is:
2 --> LBAT
Ctrl-alt-] --> LBBT
Alt-Shift-] --> LBCT
3 --> CLAT
Ctrl-alt-O --> CLBT
Alt-Shift-O --> CLCT
So where is the logic that keyclone uses to understand what to pass to the other toons. Nothing I entered tells Keyclone, when I press 3 send, Ctrl-alt-O to PlayerB and Alt-Shift-O to PlayerC. I never entered any logic that said CLAT means PlayerA, nor logic to prevent it from send Ctrl-alt-] when I press 3. this, to me, just looks like a clump of crap. How does it know not to send the ones labeled LBAT, LBBT, etc... where is that logic???
