Mage Sheep then not dpsing Macro Question

[Ualaa]

For crowd control with IS Boxer...

I would make a mapped key, where the slave toon assists the active toon.
And then sets that toon as their Focus.
If you have four classes that will be doing Crowd Control effects, then you would want four mapped keys (one for each of them).

You could include, in the slave's macro something like: /say My focus is %T.
Which would let you know they have the right mob.

You can also include raid markers as a /script.
/run SetRaidTarget("target", 1)
Change the 1 to a value between 1 and 8 (I think).
Each number is a different symbol, such as Blue Square, Yellow Star, Purple Diamond, etc...
You would then know, is the mob has a Green Triangle above it, your <insert class> will be CCing it, when necessary.




Once focus is set, then make another mapped key.
That sends your CC my Focus command to your characters.

It might send the keybind Alt 3 (or wherever you put the macro) to every character.
And they would each have their own macro on that keybind.

Mage:
/stopcasting
/cast [@focus,exists,nodead] Polymorph

Priest:
/stopcasting
/cast [@focus,exists,nodead] Shackle Undead

Warlock:
/stopcasting
/cast [@focus,exists,nodead] Banish

Rogue:
/stopcasting
/cast [@focus,exists,nodead] Blind

Shaman:
/stopcasting
/cast [@focus,exists,nodead] Hex

Etc...

If a given toon has a Focus set, then pressing this key will have them use their CC effect on their Focus.
But only if they have a Focus and the Focus is not dead.

Attempting to do this outside of wow (macros residing In Isboxer).

The way I have it set up is:

Crowd Control: Hotkey: 3
Do FTL Assist Me in General Key Map -> Self
WoW macro 'Crowd Control (CC)' in Quick Setup 38' -> All
3 -> All

The Macro Itself:

/click ErrorsOFF
!if (character in "Class Mages Fire") /cast [@focus] Polymorph
!if (character in "Class Warlocks Destruction") /cast [@focus] Fear
/click ErrorsON

I will eventually update these macros to include the /stopcasting

Set Focus: Hotkey: 4
Do FTL Assist Me in General Key Map -> Self
WoW macro '/focus {FTL}'s target' in Quick Setup 38' -> All (Window: All w/o Current) - Round-Robin checked
4 -> All

/clearfocus
/focus {FTL}
/focus [@focustarget]
/say My focus is %T.

This makes them /say in round robin order their target, but for some reason, it sets the /focus for all 4 toons at the same time (Thus they always are targeting the same target)

I can't seem to figure out what I am missing here, especially since the /say in the macro seems to be working fine. Slowly becoming more confident with doing this... and hopefully the pattern of "Answering my own question after I post" prevails...

[Ualaa]

You don't really need a /clearfocus, because you're doing a /focus which will overwrite/clear whatever you had before.

The assist is already done in the first portion.
The Do Mapped Key > FTL Assist Me > Current Window.

So you don't really need anything in the macro beyond:
/focus

The /say My Focus is %T portion, helps to troubleshoot.




I would have it:


- Do mapped key > FTL Assist Me > Current Window
- Named Macro Action > (Target is an Action Target Group, with your CC toons in it) > check round-robin.

Macro:
/focus
/say My Focus is %T.






Or, if you prefer to use the raid icons...

Mage (Slot 2) Hotkey.
- Do Mapped Key > FTL Assist Me > Current Window
- Named Macro Action > Slot 2 > Named Macro Action

Macro:
/focus
/say My Focus is %T
/run SetRaidTarget("target", 1)



Warlock (Slot 3) Hotkey.
- Do Mapped Key > FTL Assist Me > Current Window
- Named Macro ACtion > Slot 3 > Named Macro Action

Macro:
/focus
/say My Focus is %T
/run SetRaitTarget("target", 2)


The advantage of not going round-robin, is that you can choose who sets focus and who does not.
If you're on a pull where all of the mobs are undead.
Only your priest has a CC effect (Banish).
Having to set a focus on the mage, for a spell that cannot work against undead... is kind of pointless.

Thanks Ualaa - I understand both ways very well now. If only I could be smarter with troubleshooting isboxer.

I'm still having the /focus issue (even with your example).

I press alt+2 -> Slot 2 Character(Mage) says "My target is Raider's Training Dummy" but all 4 toons /focus Raider's Training Dummy

In both cases (yours and the round robin example)... the /say works as expected. But the /focus does not.

It's probably something stupid I am doing, but i cannot see how. Every time I think I am "Getting" Isboxer I run into another issue Sorry for polluting the forums with constant questions on this.

[Khatovar]

I'd try posting your configuration so someone can take a look at it and see what you have set up and how.

You're not polluting the forums, questions only help you learn and keep the forums active I'm going to move this over to the software section and tag it ISBoxer so you can get more specific assistance since it's got to dowith ISBoxer configuration instead of just basic newbie multiboxing questions.

Done: http://www.privatepaste.com/3e18f5e5e7

Here are my current IsBoxer settings.

Started with Aragent's settings - stripped out all the mappings and macros. (I just liked the way he grouped everything in ATG).

Then started slowly moving my macros, 2-step, IWT, etc to this new set-up.

Currently stuck with the /focus set-up I have under FTL DPS Keys and Macros.

Even though the Target Group is Slot 2, Slot 3, for each hotkey, /say works but the /focus changes for all toons at the same time.

This is now working. Turns out that the mistake had something to do with my UI. Started working perfectly after disabling it.

/frustration indeed.
