Newcomer with IS and question about click bars
Posted: Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:21 pm
My wife and I play Everquest. I play 2 characters on my pc (tank and healer). She plays 3 characters, 2 on her pc (dps) and 1 on our laptop (enchanter). While in a group I mainly have to heal my tank and occasionally others in the group (very rare). With IS I have been able to setup my characters in a window layout I like and setup a follow me command when clicking my middle mouse button. After reading about click bars I wanted to try one out but honestly I am a bit lost. Both in creating a click bar to pass commands to my healer and figuring out if it can do what I would like.
When we played WOW awhile back I used an add on called grid, unfortunately I can not find anything like that for Everquest. What I would like to do is create a 5 button vertical click bar that would reside next to or on top of my tanks group window. Each box would respond to a left or right click of the mouse (adding ctrl+ and alt+ left or right click would be awesome if possible). Each click combination would cast a different spell on the character the box resides next to. For example a left click on the box next to my tank (tank being the main screen or slot 1) would tell my healer to cast a full heal. I am familiar with the EQ macros and understand I may need to setup a few on my healer to get this working. Is it possible to create a click bar that can do this? If so could someone start me off please. I have created 2 "test" characters in EQ that I have been experimenting with using IS. So far I have been able to create a new click bar but honestly I am a bit lost after that. If I can get the first click bar box functional, I will be able to do the others.
I apologize ahead of time if there is a video on how to setup click bars or a forum post I may have missed. Please let me know if there is more information I need to provide or anything that may be unclear. Thanks.
