Slot 2 Won't Follow Formation

Super Stuck on a couple of issues. I am new to MultiBoxing!

World Of Warcraft with 5 Accounts on one Computer

Some background info -
I moved my install path of wow (My Isboxer Copy as I use another WOW Directory for normal Play) to my SSD.
Deleted my WOW WTF and Interface folders as I had massive UI issues.
Installed my new addons after launching the game. I am using Jamba if that matters.
Prior to this move I Cleared Everything from isboxer.
I then went through the process and created my Main 5 Man Team using Pro Config.
I made additional teams with the Same Characters such as 2 Man Healer Tank 3 Man Healer Tank DPS Etc.. I added these teams to the key maps.
I do use dxNothing with a Stacked Layout for each team.

Fast Forwarding....

Everything is set up completely. So I launched my 5 Man team, Tested Combat and follow etc...

Ran a Heroic and discovered that :
1) At random my combat hotkeys will stop working completely. A fast Export to Inner Space fixes that.
2) I noticed that my combat hotkeys randomly would not broadcast to my mage (Slot 3) But at other times it would. I did confirm that Slot 3 was assisting.
3) My Healer in Slot 2 will not follow the commands for any Formation although the other Slots do. Slot 2 will Just stand there or continue to Follow me into Combat. I do have a Break Follow Key that I can use, however I like the idea of using Formations for positioning.

I would be very grateful for any help in resolving these bugs.

1) At random my combat hotkeys will stop working completely. A fast Export to Inner Space fixes that.

A quick review of your Activate Maps (Shift+Alt+M) shows that Step 1 turns Combat Hotkeys off, while Step 2 will not turn it back on. You're halfway there, go into Step 2 of it and add another Key Map State Action to turn it back on :)

2) I noticed that my combat hotkeys randomly would not broadcast to my mage (Slot 3) But at other times it would. I did confirm that Slot 3 was assisting.

What keys in particular? On first look, nothing looks like it would work sometimes but not others. If I had specific examples, like "button ___ sometimes does not work" or something, I can look in more detail. Also, there's always the possibility that it still is broadcasting and the game is not interpreting it the same; you can see if it's getting keys sent from another window using the in-game ISBoxer debug window. Press Ctrl+Shift+alt+G and click the debug tab, tick "Buttons", then click "Show debug console". Each window will pop up a console and as you activate your hotkeys, they will say what keys they are told to press and from where.

3) My Healer in Slot 2 will not follow the commands for any Formation although the other Slots do. Slot 2 will Just stand there or continue to Follow me into Combat. I do have a Break Follow Key that I can use, however I like the idea of using Formations for positioning.

Sounds like Slot 2 has different key bindings -- in the game's key binding screen -- for movement than the other slots then, because the formations are not avoiding slot 2, and slot 2 isn't blocking them ;) ISBoxer is configured to use WASD and Q/E for strafing by default.

Re: Slot 2 Won't Follow Formation

Ok, The step two to add the Combat Hotkeys set to On fixed my broadcasting issues. The Random Slot three not Broadcasting any hotkey seems to have fixed itself. I have tried several times now and the mage always attacks. Good thing!

However I can not figure out the whole Formations issue. I have confirmed that all Key binds are the same. I remember not having an issue when all combat hotkeys were on the G13. But now that I have unbound some keys in Wow, and used them for Hotkeys I have the issue. I am going to start reversing these key maps and see if I can figure out what the issue is.

More to follow.

Re: Slot 2 Won't Follow Formation

Resolved, it was in fact a binding issue. Although I never figured it out. I Reset the bindings in game, and changed my Interact, Follow, Assist, Focus to different Keys (On the Num Pad, just need to remember to have that turned on!)

Changed my Button Bar Keybinds to what they were and left everything else alone. All works now!

Going to just use G keys for my Combat Hot Keys to avoid breaking stuff.

Thank you again for your help Lax!
