Complex setups, any recommendations?

I use pitbull unit frames: Settings are show self in party and sort by name to get them all in the same order, and clique to setup my click heals.

I'm running the same thing now (Pitbull). I don't even have a Player pane anymore, I just use my party pane. Sort by name is causing me a lot of problems though. It displays player HP / manna wrong, sometimes names and class colors as well.

I like the idea of round robin for heals. I don't have a dedicated healer, but it would be nice to click 1 of my toons 3 times, and another once.

Could you explain what you are talking about with the heal buttons a little bit more? What i'm thinking I would now like is being able to click on the left part of a party member and having it do one thing (round robin heal), while clicking on the right part would have all members heal that target with 1 click.

Anyone have it set up this way? Think its doable?

Pardon the crude Grid Frame...

I'm not positive if this is the exact method to set this up.
I read a post of this recently, but have not implemented it into my play.

You create a pair of mapped keys.
Each is two steps, executing a step on press or release.
Set one of them to press and hold Alt on step 1.
The other for Ctrl, on step 1.
Both of them aren't pressing anything on step 2.

Create two repeater regions.
You have the option of setting a mapped key to execute when the mouse is in the region.
Pick the one of the two (Alt/Ctrl) for the left region.
Pick the other for the right region.

When your mouse is in the left half of the grid frame, any click (left/right/middle/scrollwheel, etc) is the same as doing it with Alt also held.
Ditto for the right half, except as if Ctrl is held.

Then in Clique you set your click interpretation to be based off of Alt + Clicks, Ctrl + Clicks, etc.

In play, move the mouse over the left or right half of the Grid frame.
And click the relevant mouse button, no need for any keyboard input.
And it will count as Alt (or Ctrl) + Whatever click.

Ah yes, that would indeed work. I was originally thinking something along the lines of an add-on that could distinguish between left/right, but that is again, considerably more clever than what I was thinking of

Success in PvP is all about mind share in my opinion. The simplicity of playing a boxer seems to be directly related to how much time you dump into setting things up. Boxers already have tremendous amounts of attention requirements that a solo character doesn’t. The simpler my accounts are to use, the more mind share I will have to put toward killing thy enemy!
Just ordered ISboxer today, I can’t wait to get all these recommendations built.

Thanks again guys! Keep the ideas coming!

After about 10+ hours of learning / setting up ISBoxer, I have managed to build a setup that I am very happy with. Thank you everyone who made it possible!

I have a few more things I would like to get set up if anyone has solutions to them.

The first is the round robin clicking. Ualaa touched on the subject but I’m still unclear how this is done (RR key binds I can do). What I would like is for each click of my mouse to be sent to the screens in order, and only that screen. Perhaps this is not the way it’s actually done, but I would like it to behave like this.

The second is mouse turning. I have a nice setup right now, where holding down my thumb button on the mouse turns on mouse broadcasting, so I can then hold down right button, and turn all the accounts. The problem with this is, during the heat of battle, I sometimes grab the right mouse button before the thumb button (Turning only my main screen). Is there any way to bind that thumb button to broadcast all, AND act as a right button being held down? In essence I would simply hold that one thumb button down to turn all my accounts.


On a side note, has anyone figured out what’s up with /script SaveView and SetView? It resets every time you close / open the game… wtf bliz? Read some unhelpful things on Google.
