Stop follow macro

[Günni]

Hoi,

i'm new to multiboxing.

I just started a 5box team (pala tank + 4 ele sham). The pala is my master.

The shams auto-follow my master. But then i attack something with my pala i want the shams to stop.

So i'm looking for a macro that stops the auto-follow mode.

Hope someone can help?!


Thanks

You cant stop follow in a macro, not exactly anyway. You have to do something that breaks follow such as cast a channeled spell.

Most people just press a movement key instead of trying to do this by a macro. For example, I press "s" then my attack key. This causes the shamans to take a step back and stop follow.

I just use the arrow keys. What I did was unbind the arrow keys from my main, so I could move my slaves separately (turning to face mobs, backing out of the fire etc)

Also, if you use ISBoxer and use Jamba Follow strobing, the key command to toggle that is SHIFT ALT CTL F. You probably don't want follow strobing for a PvE team with mixed melee/ranged, but I find it invaluable when playing 5x of the same class, for questing and pvp, so many things can break follow...

Can't you just make a key that has /follow self or something to do it? I've never bothered, but I would assume that would work too, if using a direction key isn't wanted.

No, using /follow on something that cant be followed wont break the current follow.
