Trying Again With This..

Hi,

So I am still getting the concept of the top->down design that I have in mind. I am currently poking through the template that firescue17 has on his topic "ISBOxing EQ". I should state, that i do have a "working" setup, that basically calls macros for each client. I would like to switch to using the "slash method" that i have seen around, such as sending "/cast\ 1" However i see that when i go to create an option i see "key string" which i interpret to be "send this string", is that correct? If so can i use a variable in the "key string"?

keystring -> all other

with keystring containing something like:

/target @slot_1[$char_name]


Secondly, is there a way to access "Character Name" from a slot in a character set, what about other variables we can access? I want to do something like:

foreach @current_chars_boxed
{
if ($curent_char=$_){&skip_to_next}
&invite_function $_;
}

And then call that from any window and it will send out invites

You can use keystring actions, but they can be rather troublesome in some circumstances.

With EQ you need to put the keystring in the clipboard and then paste it into EQ (you need to set the ingame EQ clipboard paste bind, and then send that to the game from ISBoxer). This obviously becomes difficult when you have 1 clipboard and 6 toons all trying to use it at the same time. You usually end up with the wrong thing being pasted to the wrong toon, or the same thing pasted to all toons.

Yes there are some variables available within ISBoxer. e.g.
http://www.isboxer.com/wiki/Variables (although not listed here, {SLOT#} tends to work in most places these ones do)
http://www.isboxer.com/wiki/WoW:Macro <- these are more specific to the macros, and as it says, these get replaced by the specific values in the export process.

Your macros are not going to be achievable within ISBoxer, and ISBoxer does not have a way to pass this information to EQ. The invite process in the concept template uses a bit of redirection to get the group leader to send out the correct invites, but essentially the values are coded to a series of keystroke actions (although the Invite process is one that you could use keystrings quite safely as they will be only processed by the leader).

Okay i finally got this setup (kinda - still need DPS rotations etc)


I currently have INVITES + ACCEPT INVITE WORKING -> thanks bob for this help!
I also currently have ASSIST and TARGET WORKING -> thanks to bob and firescue17's guides and video


THanks so much both of you!
