So up until now I have been configuring all my commands to use target of my primary toon. The problem with this is that if my primary gets killed I lose the ability to do just about anything.

So I have been reading around on the Wiki and looked into the Group Targeting thing. I am a bit confused though, if I understand this right, if I switch to using target of dps for all my spells then I can do a Window Swap when my main dies and keep playing as normal. All my toons are in the DPS group, which makes things somewhat simple.

But.... If I use target of DPS I need to hit Num Pad 0 every time I select a target? Right now I just select a target and start casting.

Is this the best way to do this?

The idea is that I can window swap to any toon and keep using all my spell configurations as normal, that toon becomes the new shot caller.

Not quite! You don't select

Not quite!

You don't select a target - you select a character who NOMINATES the target.

If you press 0,1 then the DPS group will cast on whoever is targeted by character 1

To swap to character 2, just press 0,2 - now the dps will cast on whoever character 2 is targeting.

Basically when you do a window swap, the command does an automatic 0,<n> - where n is the character you swapped to.

p.s I also have a DPS2 - thus I can attack 2 targets (I have petattack linked in so that when I initiate a 2nd attack, the hunter pet tanks it). GCP can swap characters between groups "on the fly" - but walk then run comes to mind for this!

I only have 3 characters so I

I only have 3 characters so I will stick to one group for now.

This explains why I always get messages on the screen when I use window swap, its waiting for me to press a number I guess. I have just been doing a /rl to make them go away lol.

Ok so I change my commands to use target of DPS and then whenever I swap I press the number associated with that window.

I think I am going to try this tonight with one spell see how it goes. It has not been an absolute requirement its just that when someone kills my main in PvP they know they have cut the head off the snake, its kinda funny as I try to manually deal with the other 2 toons.

Yea it doesn't work for me.

Yea it doesn't work for me. When I press Num pad 0 nothing happens, it doesn't ask me to press a number or anything.

When I swap windows, it comes up with a message that says changing target for Group All and I try pressing 1, numpad 1, nothing works, it just keeps asking me.

Ill just go back to normal for now.

To make the numpad 0 and

To make the numpad 0 and stuff work, run any wizards that mention targeting.

It sounds like the swap is changing the wrong group. If you send me a dump of your config (views/advanced check debug and click preview - be sure to blank any passwords if you use auto logon) to , I'll take a look.

I rAn all the Do This First wizard options. My num0 key is set to SelectDPSTarget, but nothing happens when I press it. I looked at the script and it says a message should come up. Here is the script

Set GroupX, 3
Translate GroupX,`,+`,^`,%`,^+`,%+`,%^`,%^+`
<<ALL>>
Hit %GroupX%
<<Seenoevill>>
Msg Select Toon For Target - 1 = Seenoevill,2 = Hearnoeviil,3 = Speaknoeviil,
Get Toon,Enter 1 - 3
Msg
Set ToonX, %Toon%
Translate ToonX,`,+`,^`,%`,^+`,%+`,%^`,%^+`
<<All>>
Hit %ToonX%
