Smuggler/Operative boxing

hey pox would you mind sharing your setup?

I am happy to do that Zhurt.

It will take a couple of days though as ISBoxer is a mess with older bits of SWToR and also other games.

Also I have not implemented the Scoundrel follow/halt and crouch yet. I was originally thinking of turning off the follow keymap for that character for a specified time but not sure if that is the best idea yet.
What I might do is have 2 DPS keymaps for the Scoundrel - one that follows and uses the Scoundrel at close range and the other that drops them in to a crouch and uses ranged abilities. It is pretty easy to make a key that makes either one of them active depending on the situation.

That would be great thanks a bunch and no rush

Okay, on to the configuration:

There are two set ups:
1. Duo 1 - Shadow/Sage. Pretty easy setup. Need to press the follow key to get the sage to follow.
2. Duo 2 - Knight/Scoundrel. More difficult as I wanted to Scoundrel to follow the Knight after each DPS action. That doesn't work though as it breaks healing - when a 2 second heal is going off and the DPS key is hit the Soundrel then follows and breaks the cast. So follow is removed from that at the moment...working on a good solution.

There are no fancy timed actions in this setup although something like that will be needed to stop the DPS follow from breaking the Scoundrel heals.

Finally got some time to sort out the Scoundrel issues.
The Sage healer never presented a problem - as a long range class I just park them at the edge of the fight and reposition if needed with the follow key. Nothing special is needed for their heals as well as even if they receive a DPS command during a heal they will continue on with the heal. Same with a channelled ability I believe.

The Scoundrel was the problem character. I wanted the Scoundrel to be a close range class which means a follow command is sent after each DPS command. Luckily all the Scoundrel abilities are instant (so far). The problem came to healing as even though they would continue a started heal if given a DPS command the resulting follow command would break the cast on the heal.

With some research I found this:
Key Map State Action
and
Action Timer
So now when a heal is sent the DPS rotation Key Map is disabled only for the Scoundrel for a certain amount of time. That is 2 seconds for a normal heal and 3 seconds for a channelled heal (only have those two at the moment).

It took some figuring out but I got it working. Basically I have a two step action to fire the heal:
Step 1
- Target the healee
- Keymap State Action - turn off DPS keymap for Scoundrel (no timer set)
Step 2
- Cast Heal
- Keymap State Action - turn on DPS keymap for Scoundrel with a timer set for the heal time.

So far this is working very well although I only got about 30 minutes to test last night after setting it up.

This isn't a very modular solution as requires calling to the specific character and the Action Target Group method is more flexible but this was relatively simple to do.

New Pastebin with these changes.

Thank you for tanking the time to post this and exsplaining it

[pox67]

No worries zhurt.

I imagine it would be quite confusing working from someone else's config. Let me know if I can clarify anything.
Yo help understand what was happening I drew out some rough flow diagrams of the keymaps and what I wanted to happen. It crystalised it in my mind and helped me understand what what I wanted to do and how to achieve it.
