This article will cover how to setup follow, assist, combat for SWTOR using ISBoxer.  It does not cover how ot setup ISBoxer nor how to Setup Multi-Monitor support as those items are covered here.  First, you must [http://isboxer.com/index.php/get-isboxer download and install ISBoxer and Inner Space] from the [http://isboxer.com/index.php/get-isboxer Get ISBoxer Now!] page here on ISBoxer.com. [http://isboxer.com/wiki/SWTOR:HOWTO_Launch_multiple_instances SWTOR:HOWTO Launch multiple instances]  More support for SWTOR can be found  [http://isboxer.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=38 HERE]  or [http://www.dual-boxing.com/forumdisplay.php?f=50 HERE]

The Arrow keys are Click Bars that send Left, Right UP, DOWN Strafe Left , Strafe Right to the current screen. I did not want movement going to the other screens since my other toons are normally following my main toon which is usually the current screen.  The 1, 2 3 >>  are used use with the quest cut scenes so as to allow all of your toons to enter their replys to the NPC.
+
The target button will allow your toons to target the current screens target but NOT fire.  The running man button tells your other toons to follow the current screen toon.
+
(This is great because at release SWTOR had a bug with autofollow where your toon will quit following. I use my keyboard for movement and all I have to do is move my mouse over the follow button as I am running to keep my other toons following me.  Also you can not just send the follow command again due to the bug so what I use in my keymap is the Z and F keys so that my toon will sheath / unsheath weapon then follow this seems to work around the follow bug.
+
 
+
#(If you want to send movement commands to the other screens you can change the keymaps for the arrows to Window All w/Current)
+
 
+
== Setting Up Movement ==
+
What we will do in this section is create a repeater region somewhere on your screen then '''Map''' your follow key on the new region.
+
While playing you can mouse over the buttons and the action for those buttons will be performed.
+
 
+
Before you start setup I would recommend you watch these 2 videos '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Msjyi06xNW0 Video 1]'''  '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7kgsSmwY6A Video 2]''' on  repeater regions, it is older but it gives you a really good idea as to what we will be doing and how to setup a repeater region if you have never done so before.

#On the left menu click New Click Bar and give your new clickbar a name
+
#Add the image icons you want to use. If you wish to use the ones I am using there is a link to download them above.
+
#On the left menu click the name of the new click bar you just created and you will then see options to edit at the bottom left of the page.  Press Buttons
+
#Set your button grid to 3 x 4  and your cells to 32 x 32.
+
#Click each button, check the Image checkbox and then pick an image for the button, then press copy.
+
#Assign your keymaps (This will be covered more in the next section)
+
#Repeat steps 4-6 for each button.
+
#Drag your Character Set from the top left column into the Char Set slot on your clickbar and you are ready to use your new bar. (If you do not see your click bar open the ISBoxer Control Panel. Then pick the click bar tab and press show all. - Default to open the control panel is control shift alt G)
+
#Move your click bar where you would like it to be on all Screens then open your ISBoxer Control panel. (Default to open the control panel is control shift alt G)

== Keymaps & Commands for Movement Bar ==
+
 
+
I created 2 Keymap sections:
+
 
+
Note: You can see the in game keys I have associated with each Keymap in the pictures
+
'''1. SWTOR Keymap''' for universal commands and the Movement Clickbar. 
+
[[File:Keymap1.jpg|left]]
+
 
+
 
+
'''2. SWTOR HotbarKeyMap''' for my Hotbar in game. (When I press a hotbar number with my keyboard or mouse several things happen. It will tell my toons to target the Main Screen Toons Target / mob and then fire the same corresponding key press on all my other toons.  This way everytime I attack a mob all I do is focus on the mob the keymap handles all the targeting and firing for my other toons.)

For basic movement I use a basic keymap:

Example Forward Movement Keymap
