GUIDE: Set Target System

[billeddy]

Is it posible that some instructions are missing? I am not very strong in my ISBoxer skills, but I love the software. I love SWTOR too! However, since I am pretty much a noob in this, I could use more of a step-by-step instruction set.

Here are a few questions:
1. Do we need to drag the character set into the new key maps?
This might seem obvious to you, but it is not as obvious to me. I only know about dragging it down into that area from other instructions. I am not complaining - your instructions are by far the best I have seen so far.

2. Is it okay (it seems to be - just verifying) that I changed the inner workings of the "Assist & Follow Keys" such that;
a. "ctrl+a" is the hotkey for all three for assist and "f" is what I use to target my target's target ("ctrl+a" is what i prefer if manually calling for an assist and "f" is what I reconfigured SWTOR for target-target's-target.
b. "ctrl+f" is the hotkey for all three for follow and "alt+f" is what I use to follow ("ctrl+f" is what i prefer to use to get everyone to follow the main character and "alt+f" is what I reconfigured SWTOR for following.
c. I reconfigured "Set Target" with END, Pg-up & Pg-dn (ctrl is my modifier) <-just verifying that it should still work properly?

3. MOST IMPORTANT: Are we supposed to configure "Target Slot 1", "Target Slot 2" & "Target Slot 3"?
As I already mentioned, I am a noob, so please advise me without assuming I know how to do anything on my own.

4. Last question: What is the best method for mapping my other keys?
I prefer to use the "Many New Mapped Keys" feature for 1-0, -, = and all the Number pad keys.
a. "Target for Keystrokes" should be "All w/ Current" or "Window: Current"? I assume all with current
b. Can I still use "Do This First" to have all my characters "assist" for all my shared keys?
1.) Target = "Window: Current"?
2.) Key Map = "Assist & Follow Keys"?
3.) Then ??? "Assist Slot 1"? (there are six options; Assist Slot 1-3 and Follow 1-3)
Note: Normally I would want to have my own assist command "F2 then F", but that seems counter to what you have established in the variable method(s).

Final Note: I asked about everything except the "Load Key," but I understood it well enough and had no trouble configuring that.

Please accept my humble thanks. I assume that there is a great deal of time and effort in making guides, videos and then even more time and energy in responding to questions. I did my best to follow the instructions. Would you please assist me a little further?

Thanks!

I will try to answer your questions.

1. Yes. You need to add the Key Maps to your Character Set, otherwise that Character Set will not use those Key Maps.
2. It's absolutely fine to change any hotkeys or keystrokes inside any key to whatever you want. As a general rule of thumb however; don't use any modifiers (Ctrl, Shift or Alt) with your ingame keybinds. This can cause problems in ISBoxer.
3. No. You just have to create the Variable Keystrokes, but you don't have to configure them in any way. That's what the Set Target keys does ingame.
4. I haven't used the "Many New Mapped Keys" feature myself, so I can't say anything about it for certain. But if you want to embed the assist keys into your DPS Rotation key(s) then you will want to use all the assist keys before any ability keys, so I'm not sure if it will work with the "Do This First" feature.
Regarding Target Window it depends on what you are wanting to do. If you are using another Mapped Key inside a Mapped Key then you want "Window: Current". This goes for the Assist keys for example.
You can use the Assist keys on their own, instead of having them embedded into a DPS Rotation key, if you want. Just skip putting them into the DPS Rotation key(s) and instead create a new mapped key where you call all of the assist keys (Window: Current, Assist & Follow Keys, Assist Slot 1-3). Hotkey this in ISBoxer to whatever key you prefer and use that to manually trigger assist whenever you want.
