Team FOCUS macro.

[adz4u28]

macro#1 (i usually have this set at F5) on all chars

/focus [target=charname,nodead][target=charname,nodead][target=charname,nodead][target=charname,nodead]

change the `charname` to players in your group.

what this macro will do will initially set all your focus targets on all your characters to the first player listed, if that person is not available (ie dead) spam the macro again and it will set focus to the next player in the list.
================================================== ======
macro#2 (i usually have this set at F6) on all chars.

/follow focus

quite obviously this will follow the first available alive character on the previous macros list

================================================== ======

for spells/abilities i use the follow syntax.

/assist focus
/cast spellname.

================================================== ======

so there you have it!

you have a macro there that will automatically focus target the first alive person on the list.

you have a macro there that will follow the person chosen to be first on the list.

and you have a macro there that will grab his target from the first available person on that list!


i hope this has been of some help to you guys : )

Very good thread, I hope this'll help people a lot.

A perfect follow-up would be a HD youtube video of it in action *wink wink nudge nudge*

ill also start work on a simple but effective boxing ui for people this weekend.
(low memory usage, good facilities, with some ready made macros)

Awesome Macro's! Thanks, I was looking for an easy way to switch focus from my main to an alt.

[drured]

Here's my setup with focus, follow, and switching screens. I change my screen with F1-F5. All toons have the macros below.

//**********************************************
//Macro Title: Set Focus Follow 1
//Keybind this to F1
//**********************************************

/clearfocus
/focus Toon1
/follow focus

//**********************************************
//Macro Title: Set Focus Follow 2
//Keybind this to F2
//**********************************************

/clearfocus
/focus Toon2
/follow focus

//**********************************************
//Macro Title: Set Focus Follow 3
//Keybind this to F3
//**********************************************

/clearfocus
/focus Toon3
/follow focus

//**********************************************
//Macro Title: Set Focus Follow 4
//Keybind this to F4
//**********************************************

/clearfocus
/focus Toon4
/follow focus

//**********************************************
//Macro Title: Set Focus Follow 5
//Keybind this to F5
//**********************************************

/clearfocus
/focus Toon5
/follow focus

Hope this helps

the only problem with switching scrrens and focus at the same time
if they are still in follow they wont switch to the new focus afaik

[NanoEntity]

I use this

Toon1
M1
/clearfocus
/focus Toon1
/script SetView(5);SetView(5);

M2
/clearfocus
/focus Toon2
/script SetView(5);SetView(5);

Toon2
M1
/clearfocus
/focus Toon1
/script SetView(5);SetView(5);

M2
/clearfocus
/focus Toon2
/script SetView(5);SetView(5);

And so on for each toon

This will clear focus, set new focus and reset view, its good for changing characters, say I want to change to Toon2 from Toon1, i just press M2(Macro 2) and boom I have new party leader.

Also its good for AoE attacks, as it will center the Cam all the same way for each character.

Also you can add other things to this macro like

/follow focus

or if you use Jamba, this only has to be set on leader character, if you add this for each character will will not work.
/jamba setmeasmaster all
/jamba-follow strobeonme all

Example, leader is Toon2

Toon1
M1
/clearfocus
/focus Toon1
/script SetView(5);SetView(5);

M2
/clearfocus
/focus Toon2
/script SetView(5);SetView(5);

Toon2
M1
/clearfocus
/focus Toon1
/script SetView(5);SetView(5);

M2
/clearfocus
/focus Toon2
/jamba setmeasmaster all
/jamba-follow strobeonme all
/script SetView(5);SetView(5);

Set party leader and Set auto follow all the time, auto recasts every 1sec so you dont have to smash follow key.

Also another good macro is
/jamba-follow strobeoff all

This will stop auto follow on all in Jamba.

I have been wondering how to set a new master if my main died. Thanks for clearing that up!!
