Thank you both for ideas pertaining to this. I'm very new to multi-boxing and keyclone, so I thank you for all your advice. I had decided against using [target=focustarget] for a couple of reason:
Firstly, I didn't want to have to make a macro for every attack to do that (I'm probably missing something simple).
Secondly, I wanted the flexibility to have a non-leader toon begin attacking a possible adding Mob. (Once again, most likely my rookie thoughts and I'm missing the bigger picture)
Re-adding this, got lost in the forum transitions.


Yes, you do have to make a macro for each character, but you can simplify that process by setting everything up on one account (use the "global" macros, not char specific ones), then just copy the macro cache file over the each other account directory and the macros will be there automatically on the rest of your accounts. I actually wrote a DOS batch file just to update these so it's pretty painless.

Here's something that could help you with your second issue:

/cast [harm] [target=focustarget,harm] Spell Name

which basically says "cast on my current target, if it can be harmed, otherwise assist my focus and cast on its target (if it can be harmed)". I use this approach to do what you're talking about and it works pretty well. It's good to put that last "harm" in, otherwise that client will be stuck on a "glowing hand" icon waiting for you to target something, since you didn't have a valid target for the cast. Using the harm conditional will just fail the cast if it can't cast on the target.

I've worked up a way to do this type of targeting without using focus or /assist that I will be writing up in a few days, once I have a chance to use it a little and make sure it works in most scenarios. Might keep an eye out for it, could be of interest to you.
