[HOTKEYNET] I'm trying to add a 4th window and more space for the PiP interface I have set up, need some help.

[cheese]

So, I kind of understand the parameters of what I'm plugging into my script, but I don't understand what the code is doing and how to add a 4th client.

EDIT: The code directly below this text is the original code used from another post on this site. The problem I'm having with this is that while the script opens 4 windows, all four clients display the grey blizzard error box and crash.

This section is the area I think I don't understand.

 // SET PIP CONFIGURATION
 // Usage: <SetPip BigWindowName LittleWindowName>
 // This command is called by <Hotkey F1> which is defined below.
 //-------------
<Command SetPip>
    <TargetWin %2%>
        <SetWinSize 600 300>
        <SetWinPos  1300 515>
    <TargetWin %3%>
        <SetWinSize 600 300>
        <SetWinPos  1300 215>
    <TargetWin %1%>
        <SetWinSize 1920 1080>
        <SetWinPos 0 0>
    <TargetWin %2%>
        <SetForegroundWin>
        <UpdateWin>
    <TargetWin %3%>
        <SetForegroundWin>
        <UpdateWin>
    <TargetWin %1%>
        <SetWinRegion 1300 215 600 600>
        <SetForegroundWin>

I know this is something simple but I can't figure it out. What is %2%, %3%, %1%, and %4% doing exactly? Is it targetting the 1-4 in WoW1-4? Why do 2 and 3 have UpdateWin and SetForegroundWin but 1 doesn't? What I know so far is that I need to increase the size of the cut out I'm creating in the main client.

From what I understand, the code below may work, I'll test it now and keep this open in case I run into any issues.

    <TargetWin %4%>
        <SetWinSize 600 300>
        <SetWinPos 1300 -85>
    <TargetWin %4%>
        <SetForegroundWin>
        <UpdateWin>
    <TargetWin %1%>
        <SetWinRegion 1300 -85 600 600>
        <SetForegroundWin>

Above is the result of trying to use the original script, not sure what it's doing.

Also, I have learning disabilities and struggle with picking up new information so I will need extra time to understand it. I will eventually figure it out so if I ask too many questions, I'm trying to solve what's in my head in my own way.

edit: I broke something, I'm give up for tonight.

Ohoyhoy.

Took a bit since I don't use Hotkeynet anymore, but here's a slightly changed version that worked fine for me:

Here's it working just fine for me with 4 clients. Swapping seems to work too.

Seems to me the issue was relating to the hidden windows that open with every single instance of WoW nowadays. I believe your script was trying to place those in to the PiP fields instead of the actual game clients. I could be wrong though, but whatever it is, I seem to have fixed it.

Remember to change the WoW path back to match your installation.

PS. There were some dual definitions for hotkeys and movement hotkeys. I got rid of those. Hopefully there wasn't anything else you specifically made in those definitions. :3
