Overview

Trust supports automation for all 22 jobs, allowing you to easily multi-box 6 (or even more) characters with a single add-on. Get help or request a feature in the Cyrite Game Studios Discord.

Getting Started

One-time Setup

  1. Follow the instructions in Getting Started to download and install the latest version of Trust.
  2. Run the following commands on all of your characters:
  • // lua r trust to load Trust
  • // trust set IpcMode All (enables IPC)
  • (optional) // trust set AutoEnableMode Off (if you want Trust to start Off when loading the add-on)
  • // trust save (saves changes to your current profile)

When loading Trust

  1. Run the following commands only on your main:
  • (optional) // trust follow me to make all nearby party members follow you
  • (optional) // trust assist me to make all nearby party members assist and follow you
  • (optional) // trust sendall trust start to enable Trust on all characters

Commands

Below are commonly used multi-boxing commands (see Commands for all commands):

Command Action

Migrating to Trust

If you are a multi-boxer, you are likely already using several add-ons and custom scripts for things like healing, following, singing, rolling, etc. Trust consolidates all of this functionality into a single addon-on, allowing you to use fewer add-ons. Below are the add-ons that you no longer need to use:

Add-on Trust replacement
EasyFarm See Trust.
FastFollow See Follower.
Singer See Singer.
Healbot, Cure Please See Healer, StatusRemover.
Rollbot, Roller See Roller.
AutoRA See Shooter.
AutoWS, autoSC See Skillchainer.
autoMB See Nuker, MagicBurster.
attackwithme See Attacker.
AutoPUP See Puppetmaster.

Assisting

A Trust must first have a target in order to perform actions like engaging, magic bursting or weapon skills. The target is determined in two ways:

  1. If the Trust is not assisting anyone, the target is the actual monster that the Trust is targeting with the in-game cursor.
  2. If the Trust is assisting a party member (set with // trust assist player_name or by clicking the party member name in the party widget), the target is the monster that the party member is targeting with the in-game cursor.

Most of the time you'll want all party members assisting one person using the // trust assist me command.

Tips

Below are some common multi-box scenarios and how to accomplish them with Trust:

Battle

Use this when you want your party to attack what you are attacking or in areas like Dynamis, Omen or Sheol C where you want to avoid running into a pack of mobs inadvertently.

  • Assist a party member.
  • Engage/disengage when they do.
  • Switch targets when they do.
  • Stand where they are standing in battle.
  1. // trust assist party_member_name true (or // trust sendall trust assist party_member_name true to update for all Trusts).
  2. (optional) // trust save (to save changes to the current profile.

Resources

It's highly recommended you read up on configuring your Trust with Profiles, Job Settings and Modes.
