Cannot figure out how to get follow and assist to work in inner space / ISboxer...

[Malgor]

Thanks Apps I have to run take my parents to lunch but will be back around 2pm pacific time and will go through it again.

The FTL….

Main thing here is to always consider the PoV of the toon you are playing. For a two man setup its not that difficult.

So…
23. In the Key Maps section, click on “2 man Inquisitor tA”. Create a new mapped key. Lets actually make (4) of them. Name them the following:

First one = “Target Me”
Second one = “Follow Me”
Third one = “Assist Me”
Fourth one = “DPS1”

24. Click on “Target Me”. There is NO hotkey for this so leave it blank. Seriously, Don’t do it. Under Steps, and under Actions, make a new mapped key. The “Target” for this key is the OTHER toon. Use the pull down menu and select “Character Slot 2: (tB)”. For the “Key Combination” (again using the keys Riker already attempted to have you use), click on the “<” and press the “`” key.

25. Click on the “Assist Me”. In order for this to work, think logic. tB needs to first target you, then press F6 so that tB “Acquires Target of Target”. There is NO hotkey for this so leave it blank too. Under Steps, and under Actions, make (2) new mapped keys. The first one we need to tell tB to target tA. The in game keybind for this is “Target Party Member1”.. which I believe Riker had you change to “`”. The “Target” for this key, is again, the OTHER toon. Use the pull down menu, and again select “Character Slot 2: (tB)”. For the “Key Combination”, click on the “<” and press the “`” key. The second item in the “Actions” group, we will do the “Acquire Target of Target”… which I believe Riker had you change to “F6”. The “Target” for this key, is again, the OTHER toon. Use the pull down menu, and again select “Character Slot 2: (tB)”. For the “Key Combination”, click on the “<” and press the “F6” key.

26. Click on the “Follow Me”. THIS ONE DOES HAVE A HOTKEY!! For the hotkey… erm, I dunno what Riker had you use… so lets change it to “F7” (note, I don’t like F7 for a follow key, because its not convenient, however, for the sake of the help today, just do it… you can change it later.) This one is similar to assist. First we need to tell the other toon to target us, then use the follow keybind which we will need to alter in game.

Matter of fact. Go in game now, and change both accounts, both kebinds, to use “Follow Target” as F7.

Back in ISBoxer, under “Step 1” and “Actions” right click and choose the mapped key action. For the “Target” use the pull down menu, and select “Character Slot 2: (tB). Then for the other click on the “<” and scroll to find the “Target Me” in “2 man Inquisitor tA”. Then in the same action, right click and new keystroke action, again, use the pull down menu, and again select “Character Slot 2: (tB)”. For the “Key Combination”, click on the “<” and press the “F7” key.

27. Click on “DPS1”. The Hotkey for this is “1”. Under Steps, and under Actions, do the same as you did for setting up the “Follow Me”. Except this time, your first action is going to use “Assist Me”. Set the “Target” of this key to again, “Character Slot 2: (tB)”. Next create another new keystroke action under the same Actions, the “Target” is again “Character Slot 2: (tB)”. And the keystroke is “1”.


Save your file.

Export to InnerSpace… press your “Home” key to refresh after its been updated.

*Checkpoint*
Ok, so now, you have set up your characters.
You have created a character set.
You have moved the characters into your character set.
You have created a Control, and a tA and tB main key map sets.
You have moved the Control, tA and tB key map sets into your character set.
You have updated Controls to be able to swap screens, and activate and deactivate with a single key…
You have updated Control to have mouse repeater, and ability to turn off your key maps for troubleshooting in the future.
You have updated your tA and added FTL commands and one DPS
You can load your game, press “Home” then press “F7” and tB will follow you.
You can click on a target, then press the “1” key, (assuming your in range for both toons), and both toons will attack that target. Press “F7” again, then go loot your body.


What should be understood by now is that ISBoxer will allow you to create a key set for a toon. And using that key set, you can map ANY key the keyboard, but you need to be aware of what you want to do with them all in game.

Id like for you to complete step 28 thru 32 on your own. Please make use of the copy and paste commands… or create from scratch if you like.

28. Click on your “2 man Inquisitor tB”, and create your (4) mapped keys for Follow, Assist, Target, and DPS1.

29. Update Follow for tB.

30. Update Assist for tB.

31. Update Target for tB.

32. Update DPS for tB.



Save file… export to InnerSpace.



*Final*
Your setup is complete. If you want to use Whitelists (like I do), go to your character set, and click on the second tab “Key Map White/Black Lists”. Simply click on the Control, tA and tB.. as long as they are selected.. ONLY those will ever be loaded for this team. Also you can click on the “1” and “2” in the Character Set lower pane and then click on the second tab… choose however many cores you want to tell your pc to handle a single Character Slot. (I.e. if you have 8 cores, put 4 on character slot one and 4 on character slot two)

Setting up a file from scratch isn’t hard. It normally takes me about 20 mins to get the basics.

You can go back to the “2 man Inquisitor tA” and “tB” sections, and add more dps keys. Read up on the forums about how to do rotations. How to do round robin skill attacks. How to make clickbars for healing.

If after this, you are still unable to get things working properly, please upload and post screen shots, of the following:
Character Set.
Character Slot 1
Character Slot 2
Control
tA
tB

Try to be as descriptive as possible.

Thanks,
Apps

Edit... Potential issue there. I noticed some of the keybinds dont match up. So to be clear,

Go to this link < CLICK_ME! > as a double check.

And make sure your in game keybinds match up.

24. Click on “Target Me”. There is NO hotkey for this so leave it blank. Seriously, Don’t do it. Under Steps, and under Actions, make a new mapped key. The “Target” for this key is the OTHER toon. Use the pull down menu and select “Character Slot 2: (tB)”. For the “Key Combination” (again using the keys Riker already attempted to have you use), click on the “<” and press the “`” key.

I am guessing you meant for me to make a new keystroke action instead of a new mapped key? If not I am confused at this point.

[Malgor]

I changed my in game key bindings so they would at least make a little sense.

Target Party Member 1 is F2 originally, and you can add in an alternate choice which I chose F6 leaving the F2 choice in as well.
I made Follow Target which is normally blank in game to F7.
Acquire Target's Target is left blank in game and I made this ` (tilde).

I think I am getting these correct in ISBoxer.

However I've come to the following confusing snag:

This whole section below is confusing and try as I might, couldn't figure it out after 30 minutes of searching and trying different things. Not sure what to do since I don't understand where to find some of the things you listed. When you say "New Mapped Key" under actions I of course can find those, but I don't know which specific one to use. Earlier with the pictures I was able to figure out this meant a "New Mapped Key State Action". But Now I don't think it does because I can't find what you are asking me to find, such as Then for the other click on the “<” and scroll to find the “Target Me” in “2 man Inquisitor tA”. as it was no where to be found in the different mapped keys and other action keys I tried.

This section has me lost.

25. Click on the “Assist Me”. In order for this to work, think logic. tB needs to first target you, then press F6 so that tB “Acquires Target of Target”. There is NO hotkey for this so leave it blank too. Under Steps, and under Actions, make (2) new mapped keys. The first one we need to tell tB to target tA. The in game keybind for this is “Target Party Member1”.. which I believe Riker had you change to “`”. The “Target” for this key, is again, the OTHER toon. Use the pull down menu, and again select “Character Slot 2: (tB)”. For the “Key Combination”, click on the “<” and press the “`” key. The second item in the “Actions” group, we will do the “Acquire Target of Target”… which I believe Riker had you change to “F6”. The “Target” for this key, is again, the OTHER toon. Use the pull down menu, and again select “Character Slot 2: (tB)”. For the “Key Combination”, click on the “<” and press the “F6” key.

I got to the DPS1 - item number 27 on the list and am stumped again. I'm sure that's no surprise!

I uploaded my file to sendspace here http://www.sendspace.com/file/e0dbk8 so if you want to look at it you can see what I've done so far.


I exported what I had to inner space and I'm having the same error messages I had when I originally set it up myself following several of the guides on here. Nothing happens in my second window. My first window (whichever one I have on screen 1) does the action, but it's not supposed to. Only my second window is. By using Character Slot: 2(Toon B) I'm assuming that is sending the message to inner space to have that toon do the actions that we have listed?

[Malgor]

I just finished step 22 and loaded it. I thought I had a problem, but will write more as I continue.

HOME does what it is supposed to do - switch the screen to TOON A.
Page Up does what it is supposed to do - switch the screen to TOON B.
ALT+End does what it is supposed to do and turns off all keys for the other screen.

On to the next section!

Apps and Riiker both. You two have been amazing. I really appreciate all the time you spent trying to help me fix whatever I'm missing with my set ups.

Again,

Much thanks.

Correct! I did this write up from work, and from memory. I got the pictures from the guide I wrote a few months back. Sorry about the wording.

Yes, for the Target Me and Assist Me, you want to use "New Keystroke Action" because you want the software to pass along a keystroke.

For the Follow Me, you want to use "New Do Mapped Key Action", because you want to "DO" or use, and existing mapped key.

I know they wording for some of ISBoxer is awfully confusing, but after a while you get used to it.

NP, so lets get you finished. Im going to download your .XML file and check it out. Give me a little bit to digest... oh, and the F2 and F6 thing... unbind F2, and put the F6 in the top. Else it doesnt work right.
