ISBoxer: Multi-Mode FTL Targeting.

[Lax]

Some good ideas in this thread, I can probably build some of these ideas into ISBoxer 38.


This is something that has been on the back of my mind pretty much since ISBoxer began, and I've always felt bad about this limitation of the current system of Steps.

Thinking about various possibilities now, I think that adding an option to Steps for "manual advance only" might be an appropriate (simple to implement and understand) solution. I mean, it would be drastically simplified if it were possible to rotate through members of an ATG for your Target, but that's actually really complicated in the current codebase. (I do plan to have that for Joe Multiboxer, though.) But anyway, what I imagine is you might set this round-robin to manual advance only, and you'd have a few different ways of using the Mapped Key Step Action (currently available) to advance past the guy without an interrupt.

You can "sort of" do it right now by setting it to 900 seconds but eventually you're bound to hit that limit and automatically advance. And the manual advance only option is definitely something that feels missing from ISBoxer anyway

Technical update on this issue (and other related issues): http://joethemultiboxer.com/2010/12/...g-for-isboxer/

In a nutshell, round-robin improvements coming, along with the ability to use things like "everyone but group X" or "members of group X who are also in group Y", "members of group X who are not in group Y", "members of both groups X and Y who are not in group Z" (limitless combinations) for Targets of any action These are relatively advanced, but for example, "tanks&paladins" is tanks who are also paladins, and "~(tanks&paladins)" is everyone BUT the tanks who are also paladins. "paladins&~healers" would be paladins who are not healers. "tanks,paladins" would include both tanks and paladins. Targets can get as complex as you want to make them, with the new operators (you can keep chaining them all you need). With the dev build of IS, and a beta of ISBoxer 38, you can type any of these into any Target box

When is it due out?

This sounds amazing.
