3 Important macros every multiboxer should have - Multiboxing in World of Warcraft and Beyond!

These are the 3 main macros every starting multiboxer should have:

Code:

/focus  (main toons name)

/follow focus

/assist focus

I use a mod (I think it's x-perl) that conflict with the set focus options in the game. I have been simply making a macro that targets my main for all the focus things. I was wondering if anyone out there knows of a mod like x-perl that doesn't mess with the set focus options?
Thanks.

Interesting, I'm not sure why it would conflict?

I used XPerl before 3.1 patch and I never had this issue. What sort of issue is it exactly? If you manually type /focus blah where blah is a name, does xPerl crash then?

Yea, It tells me :
Message: Error: AddOn XPerl attempted to call a forbidden function (FocusUnit()) from a tainted execution path.
then I say yes and the only add on that was stopped was x-perl.
Not sure why either, I never used the set focus feature until recently.
Thanks for your time.

He's right. For some reason it conflicts and cancels it out, causing it not to work.

Very interesting, so this might make XPerl not work for all multiboxers? Maybe they have an update? It would be worth PMing those XPerl guys and seeing what is up.

im using xperl on main char only, toons have standart interface, i will check if my main can set focus when im home again.

but as i remember there where no problems with my main raiding etc

instead of using assist macros try something like this:

/cast [target=focustarget] Lava Burst

The cool thing about this macro is that you never actually switch targets, but still cast at your focus' target.

I use xperl and my focus works fine.
