Desperately Need Vanguard KeyMap Help

Ok Ive searched online tried the wizard and Am totally Lost and Desperate for help..
Im playing Vanguard Saga of Heroes 3 boxed sorcerer, shaman, cleric and im trying to make it so I can
Press Key 1,2,3,4 on main window and key 1,2,3,4 on other two will automatically press as well
Which means all 3 toons will attack/cast with whats in 1-4


Healing
Press = key in main window and have cleric in 3rd spot heal main window

Ive tried everything and I am clueless I actually need step by step directions I only have 3 days left of trial before i decide whether to buy or not

Also how can i set it so main window can loot and it will cycle thru different toons if not its not a biggie

Re: Desperately Need Vanguard KeyMap Help

First, you'll need to set up an Assist Mapped Key. Follow the instructions on the wiki. MiRai's video (which is also on that page) should be helpful as well.

Then, you'll want to set up Hotkeys that assist using the Mapped Key Wizard. Instructions are again on the wiki. When prompted for the type of Mapped Key to create you should select Assist and Broadcast.

Finally, for looting, make a macro in VG on each character and place it on an action bar and note the in-game keybinding for that action bar slot.

The macro should be:
Code:
/endharvest
/endloot
/lootall
/targetnextcorpse

Then use the Mapped Key Wizard again to make a Straight Broadcast Mapped Key to trigger that loot macro. Spamming it will cause all your characters to loot all the corpses in range.

Re: Desperately Need Vanguard KeyMap Help

Thanx for help but Im Stupid or something cause i followed assisted map key instructions and it sorta works on my 3boxed toons i have to double tap f for Assist and autofollow doesnt work at all do i have to do the mapped key wizard setup also?

Also i need to do something so when my main window 1 attacks using one of the hotbar buttons and assist is clicked the other toons will either cast or attack whatever is on those keys as well...

As for looting it doesnt work when i tried it just on 1 toon it came back saying incorrect command

Show me your ISBoxer configuration, so we can talk specifics.

I'm going to assume you just copied from here. You can't do that in VG, copying into the macro box doesn't handle line breaks correctly. You need to type it in yourself.

Re: Desperately Need Vanguard KeyMap Help

You have most of what you need set up already. It just needs tidying up.

For your Variable Keystrokes you have <Follow Target> as Shift+F, and <Assist Target> as Shift+A. Those both need to match the keybindings in Vanguard. If, as you stated above, Vanguard has F set as Assist, then you either need to change the Key Combinations of your Variable Keystrokes to match the game's keybindings or change the game's keybindings to match the Variable Keystrokes.

Once that is fixed you will need to press F (defined on the Assist Me Mapped Key in the Non-combat Key Map) to get your slaves to assist your main, then the 1,2,3 keys should fire off spells/abilities to the correct targets. Similarly pressing Alt+1 should make your slaves follow your main. Note that follow in Vanguard is a toggle so it may work differently to what you'd expect from other games.

You currently have 4 different Mapped Keys all set to trigger when you press 1: 1 in Always On, 123equals in Always On, example round-robin in Combat and 1 in Combat. It is generally not a good idea to place such Mapped Keys in Always On as they will not be turned off when you turn off Key Maps. I'd suggest deleting the 9 Mapped Keys you added to the Always On Key Map. You can recreate those Mapped Keys in the Combat Key Map using the Mapped Key Wizard if necessary. Then remove the Hotkey (set it to <NO KEY>) from the Example round-robin Mapped Key in the Combat Key Map.

ok i messed up (BTW Thank you so much for all the help if i haven't said it) I checked VG key bindings and AssistDefensive is F and there is No Key Binding at all for Assist i deleted those 9 mapped keys i made and now my follow and assist keys in isboxer no longer work and when i press my hotbar 1 button only master window casts not slaves...im checking back every 30 mins here still did something wrong cause unless i /follow on master the 2 slaves dont follow and unless i do /assist before every fight from slaves on master they wont help or cast they just stand there wont even target mob

Re: Desperately Need Vanguard KeyMap Help

Yes, you need to press your assist key every fight with the way you had it set up. If you can get everything else working then we can work on moving that into your normal casts.

And, again, without access to your current configuration I am flying blind.
