The Mercbeast Framework

[Apps]

The Assist key I use addresses this. It is a two step key. Each time you assist it targets party 1 and then target of target. You're on the right track. Without a screenshot, this is how I have mine setup. It just needs to be two steps and execute on keystroke up or down. This makes it a one keypress solution that can be called by your DPS rotation to provide reliable one button mashing buttery goodness.

Assist

Set this hotkey to pass a step when pressed or released. Do not bind a key to it.
Create two steps.
Step 1: Create a key stroke action.
Ctrl + F1 -> Other Action Target Group (This will use target party 1 on your slave characters)
Step 2: Create a key stroke action.
Num * -> Other Action Target Group (This will use target of target on your slave characters)

BAM! this is exactly what Mosg2 and I worked out. Exactly. I had this wrong. Thanks for the confirmation posting.

Thanks...got all my Prob Fixed! Thanks Apps and Beast


was wondering if it was Legal...(i know i'm lazzy) to use my new Naga Mouse....to Bind these 3 Sets in 1 Click, like -> Target Gr1 -> Target Target -> DPS

i've read some people do it with G12 Keybord or some other Mouse....but is it Legal in SWTOR, or we can't Macro a chain of keys?


Anyways...other than that, everything is working fine *beside the Follow bug......thanks for the Help so far! <3

Not sure what I did, but Im glad you got things working. Sometimes seeing someone elses problem helps. I hope my failures and fixes helped.. yet, I cant take any credit. Mercbeast, and Mosg2, and Kris123 have (in my opinion), got this down tight.

Normally, I have no issues setting things up for a new game but ...

I followed you setup mercbest and everything almost works.

The issue I am having is that the second action in the first step of my DPS doesn't get hit, it always executes the 1st one.

If I push Shift-F2 ( second skill in my rotation it works ) on both toons.

However, in the DPS rotation it is not called, any ideas?

You need to create all new DPS keys. You can use the default ones, but you have to alter all of them. Basically, you need to take the target of target and assist out of the equation, and simply use the ATG as the target window for your keypress. I used the std "1 thru =" so I could play solo and not mess with the default keybinds in game. It worked.

So heres what you end up with, using my method... (or Mercs method with a Mosg2 twist)
Press your follow keymap.
(your slave(s) follows to a location)
click on your target with your main screen
Press your Assist keymap.
Press your dps keys 1 thru =.

If you have to switch targets, you can leave your slave attacking the first target, and you move your main to the second target BOTH will continue to dps those targets, so long as the targets dont move, if you are melee class.

Just think of your assist key as your "this is what I want my slave to fight" key... then your main can do whatever you want.
