Hotkey to switch Toon/Focus

[BrandX505]

Hey all, I dualbox shammies and am getting near lvl 80. I love it, but macros for PvE are easy and I'm getting into PvP. I Use a setup like Tim where main guy is on big square and secondary is a little square. I am looking for a macro to make 2nd guy switch to big square when 1st guy dies or is CC'd.

I use pwnboxer and see configure game, and make "game 1 = F9" and Game 2 = F10", but i press these and nothing happens. How do I configure that?

After I configure the above I want to make ingame macro to press F9 and 1st toon be focus and F10 to be 2nd toon focus.

I may be asking too much, but I think I see Tim do it on stream.

Thanks for any help!

To use the F9 fast game switch, I have to click into the window of the one I want to switch to the big screen and then hit F9. And to switch back from that window to the original window just hit F9 again.

Cool, but when I put Game 1 = F9, where do I configure Game 1? I click it and nothing happens. I think I am not seeing something. I rightclick, nothing.

I think that this option is the MAIN feature and selling point of pwnboxer, yet I can't find a thing on the site of how to set it up.

When I come across multibox players in game I know if I kill the "brain" then they are screwed. I am looking for a macro to make the next player the "brain" when the main one dies so I am not screwed and i think pwnboxer can do it, but I don't know how.

Edit: Ok, I figured out the switching screens thing (sorry for confusion).
Edit2: So I made macro for F9 to switch to toon 1 and focus/follow toon1 and F10 to focus/follow toon2, but the F10 one seems to not do the macro and switch 100% of time, maybe due to lag.

I am making progress, but could use some help due to my lack of macro knowledge. I use Jamba addon and don't know if it is hindering my progress. If anyone could post what they use; I would love you long time!

What kind of macros are you looking for?

[BrandX505]

I am looking to press F9 to have toon1 be focus/follow then press F10 to have toon2 be focus/follow.

F9/F10 will also change the screen settings at same time. I feel like I almost have the right macro, but it is only working 30% of time. Possibly due to latency.

F9 on toon1 clears focus; F9 on toon2 sets toon1 as focus and follows.

F10 on toon1 sets toon2 as focus and follows;F10 on toon2 clears focus.

...BUT for some reason this is not working.

I believe someone else had the same issue. Having a macro and a game change on the same key does not work so well. Set the focus to ctrl+f9 and switch to f9

Yea you will want to use F9 and ctrl+F9 for example. Doing it all in 1 keystroke will set you up for failure if the server or game lags and 1 of your guys doesn't do the command.
