So, i'm trying to use two summoners, my main and my alt, at the same time. I've tried to use /console send charactername /ja "Volt Strike" <t> but i'm getting nothing, same with assult. Is there something i'm missing? or maybe another addon i could use to make using two summoners easier? one that mirrors my main characters moves? any advice would be greatly appriciated! Thank you!!

Try using a ' instead of an ". Also, make sure there's at least a wait 0.5 between the Volt Strikes if you're trying to get both characters to do it at the same time. The game doesn't handle multiple send commands firing at the same time very well.

I dont think there is a limitation on starting ability simultaneously on many chars. In fact, I always do it at same time on my multibox.

The limitation does exist when interacting with NPC, though

Make sure send addon is loaded on both characters, not just one.

Narrow down the problem?

//send @all /p <t>

That will tell you if send actually works on both char and what both chars recognize as <t>

If that works I would check spelling

from chat its

//send @all /ja "Volt Strike" <t>

from macro

/console send @all /ja 'Volt Strike' <t>

There is no need to type two lines for each char, when you want to use same ja on both chars at the same time. @all is better then.

Honestly, if you are at this point just use send all target instead. You will get on a lot better with it and when you use things like <t> for send it can get clunky. If you need help setting it up lemme know and I can. If you add short cuts in too it will be even easier it would make the above something like

//sat youcommand charactername voltstrike;

I don't use send, but unless it removed the '/' from these examples in the console, I think you either need to:
Code
//send @all pet "Volt Strike" <t>


Or add an input
Code
//send @all input /pet 'Volt Strike' <t>


The targeting might be your next problem.
Edit to fix other corrections mentioned.

Volt strikg is a /pet command not /ja also when using the send command use single quotes around the spell name

//send @all /pet 'Volt Strike' <t>

I can confirm pet commands can either be /ja or /pet.

Anyhow, you can use any of the above suggestions. I personally use something like this in a macro:

/console send char1 //voltstrike
/console send char2 //voltstrike

If I want chars 1 and 2 to do volt strike etc.

EDIT: Make sure send is loaded on all corresponding chars.

Change <t> to <bt>. <bt> targets what is currently being fought or what enemy has a red name. Works well on single targets but not so well on multiple enemies if you're fighting more than one at once.

If you use gearswap you can do
/con send Mymule /ma 'Stun <tid>

If you're not a gearswap user. What you can do is grab gearswap and just make a blank user file for that character so you can still use the send command I listed above.

If your alts are assisting you, have them /assist YourChar.

May i ask what the <tid> command does, this seems like something right up my alley :D ?

Did the index thing ever get fixed I reported? I can't recall if it did, but for some that use that, if anyone on their server has an index under 255 it wont work.
