Make 1 character stand still while broadcasting to others!

Well I was contemplating doing this for awhile but I wasn't sure how to set it up. I have the "force stand still" command set to the space bar, and I wanted to set it up so I could press a key while broadcasting that would make one of my alt characters stand still while the other ones still move according to what I was broadcasting w/my mouse.

While it may very well be possible to do this through IS boxer I was able to simply do this through the game. I have a total of 4 windows and I wanted to be able to do this for my three ALT's, so I set up button 2 for the "force stand still" command to f6 for window 2, f7 for window 3, and f8 for window 4. Now I can have broadcasting on and if a character gets de-synched I can simply hold down that characters unique force stand still key (i.e. f6-8) and walk towards them with the rest of my guys until we are in a nice group again.

Shmoo you're a genius, not sure why I didn't think of this lol. Thanks a lot. I have been using my broadcast OFF/ON hotkey to resynch my toons (or corners when available) but this is sooo much easier. Now I can KEEP broadcasting on the whole time and just press one key to resynch. Nice work

thx lol, im actually not using this method anymore though as I have adopted retnaburn's config style of having different keys correspond to left clicks in various windows. I can have broadcasting on and click somewhere for all chars to go there, or hit f1-f4 and send an individual char.

Isboxer is really really powerful, play around with it!

So you actually made a master sync keymap - ONE press/click for all characters to re-sync?

No, he says has 4 different Hotkeys that correspond to a Mouse1 click in 4 different windows.

This is very simple to set up. Use the Mapped Key Wizard (from the Wizards menu), select the "Non-combat" Key Map, and tell it to create a "Key Re-map" (currently the second thing down, in the drop-down box). Click Next, then just going straight down the few options:
1. Hotkey = F1
2. "Key Combination to send" = Mouse1
3. "Target for Keystrokes" = "Character Slot:1" (it might say a "Character" name)
4. Check the "Hold broadcasted keys while you hold the Hotkey" box, which will make sure that if you hold the Hotkey it's the same as holding the mouse button.
5. The "activate when" box will not matter because of the Hold option, it should actually be graying out.
6. Click Finish

You can do the same thing for F2 goes to "Character Slot:2" and F3 to 3 and F4 to 4, and remember to Export to Inner Space when you're done.
