strange issue with auto targeting

http://www.privatepaste.com/5d351d47f0

Hello,

I am very new to multiboxing (and no expert on wow either) and have an issue that has crept up recently. When I first got this software I had 4 toons already at 80 and have been using isboxer to run them thru many dungeons and assisting guild mates with out fail. I have had no issues whatsoever with group that was only setup with the wizard.

So with this new confidence I decided to make a group of 5 new characters and see if I could level them up as a group. Again using the default setup, I have had no issues until now @ level 14. My problem is that my background characters stop assisting my main at some point 5 or so minutes into playing. I can start up game, login, start playing and everything is fine. I can press button 1 on the keyboard and all characters perform the action in that button and all are attacking the mains target. I can swap windows and go back to main, do my looting, etc. and its just like it should be. I am not sure if I am somehow causing this breakage by doing some strange combination or whatever, but at some point this all stops working. When I attack with main, other toons recieve "invalid target" on the screen and they just stand there. I also lose the "interact with target" that I have setup for the looting. (off topic - is there a way to have auto looting happen when using the "interact with target" hotkey? as it is now, the hotkey for IwT works great, but i have to swap windows to accept any loot).

I have looked around the forums and have not found exactly this issue. I can go back to the my other 4-some and everything works great, get back on then new 5 man and it works for a while, then all of sudden stops working again. I cant seem to get it back on with out exiting and re-loging. I have deleted the char set and recreated about 3 times now and still same thing. Any help is most appreciated.

In warcraft you can turn on auto looting.

The choice is basically only auto loot, if you loot with a hotkey keld (alt, ctrl or shift).
Or autoloot by default, unless a hotkey is held (again, alt, ctrl or shift).

If auto loot is on, they'll auto loot whatever they can.
In groups, with group loot they'll still have to roll on whatever.

I cannot immediately see anything wrong with your profile. You haven't somehow turned off key maps have you? Use Shift+Alt+M to turn them back on if that is the case.

Anyone else?

Clearing your profile, rather than just remaking a Character Set, is much more likely to have an effect on your issue. After all, your configuration is mostly default straight out of the wizard -- making the wizard do the same thing again isn't going to change much.

On the other hand, fixing your changes might. For example... your General Key Map has the "World of Warcraft: Use FTL Modifiers" box checked. That shouldn't be checked, it's going to modify (and break) some things in the General key map. The J that gets sent from your IWT key for example, gets turned into Shift+J, Alt+J, Ctrl+J, Ctrl+Shift+J, etc depending on which guy you're playing. So if your guys have anything bound on the J key with modifiers, it would do that instead of interact!

Another thing that confuses people is when they set a Hotkey in their Repeater Profile, such as your Ctrl+Shift+Alt+R hotkey. This hotkey is not synced with the Click Bar that shows you whether Key Maps or Repeater ("broadcasting") are enabled. You should remove that particular hotkey, and change the hotkey for "Activate Repeat" in the Control key map instead -- which is Shift+Alt+R by default. In all likelihood, you have broadcasting enabled (even if the icon indicates that it is off!) and Key Maps disabled. Therefore it would broadcast a straight "1" and no assist.

Subsequently, these are the only changes to your config that I see besides configuring IWT, which you have done correctly. You can either remove both of these things mentioned above, or start with a fresh config -- File, Clear, run the wizard, set up IWT, export, launch.

Thanks for the responses,

In answer to the looting thing, I do have auto loot enable for each of the toons. That is what has confused me, if I switch to another window and do a manual rght-clck it auto loots just fine. If I use the newly created ALT -J (as is seen in another thread about setting up the IWT) It only pops up the loot window but does not do the auto loot. I will take a look to see if J is being used for some other hotkey.

I will try the unchecking the FTL modifers, maybe that is messing with something. I did notice something last night however after I posted this, that when the "main" character breaks, I can switch to another and it works for the rest of the characters. In my case I have a paladin tank main and 4 ranged. I play for some time with the paladin, then the others stop assisting, this usually happens after I need to do some interaction with the other toons and then swap back to paly and its broken. If I then swap to the mage and have everybody follow him, the assist start to work again. But if I go back to the paly still broken.

Another thing that confuses people is when they set a Hotkey in their Repeater Profile, such as your Ctrl+Shift+Alt+R hotkey. This hotkey is not synced with the Click Bar that shows you whether Key Maps or Repeater ("broadcasting") are enabled. You should remove that particular hotkey, and change the hotkey for "Activate Repeat" in the Control key map instead -- which is Shift+Alt+R by default. In all likelihood, you have broadcasting enabled (even if the icon indicates that it is off!) and Key Maps disabled. Therefore it would broadcast a straight "1" and no assist.

This sounds like what might be happening, I do remember trying to follow a guide to do something with the R hotkey, I will remove that.

Thanks again for all the help, this utility has been great, I am having a lot of fun with it. It has worked so well with the initial setup that I realize I have zero idea of how to edit or even understand it for troubleshooting.

Well removal of those items fixed the autolooting, that works fine now, but still having the issue of the slaves that stop assisting the main. Its only on the one main however. If I switch to another character and have everyone follow it all works. So it seems to be isolated to the one character. I will keep playing around and if I can find the trigger.

thanks again

I'd guess you have a hotkey in warcraft that interferes.
Not sure the key that IS Boxer uses for assist, you could find the key in FTL Assist Me...

Whatever the key, the modifier that is used for the slot of the character who is not working...
Alt F11 or whatever, is probably assigned to something else in wow for that character.

Check that the IS Boxer addon is enabled for all toons.
Well mostly for the toon that is not working.

I actually had to try like 4 different keys for interact with target in game... finally settled on 'F'. WHen you set the in game key binding make sure at the bottom of the popup screen you don't see red. If you get some error then it doesn't work (at least for me it didn't). Just make sure before you change the on game key binding you change it in ISBoxer and make sure you export it.
