Flame Strike and Others (AOE)

[Razman]

Hello, have started in on multi boxing although just using one comp. Have 4 Level 70s levelled the singular way and decided to give this a go. So far all is welll. The guides, macro help and advice is really great. Theres a but though. Im having problems on my 3 mage set up getting flame strike or other manually targetted AOEs to work at the same time.

Ideally I would like -- 1 button press-- target the flame strike or even just target my mains area, all 3 cast flame strike on that area. Im a bit lost on this as the spell doesnt target anything specific like a mob but rather an area so 'target' 'focus' or 'assist' wouldnt really work here or would it it.

Any advice
Thanks

as far as i know from the previous threads. you cannot do it.
if you find a way. .let all the other people that want to do it know.

since you cant transmit the mice..

i do have an idea.. for a hardware boxer. that uses 5 computers.. .. to get 5 wireless mice and so.. you use one wireless mouse to control all 5 accounts.... 1 transmitter.. 5 receivers..

i think that would work.. press the spell.. and you move it with the mice.. on all 5 at the same time. and click.. done..
but.. i dont think its possible if your only using one computer and 5 accounts. since i dont think you can multiply your cursors.

i could be wrong.
my 2 cents. have a nice day.

I've heard for single computer guys there is a way to get the software to mirror the click. I'm a 5 (8 actually) computer guy though. I used to run a 1warrior/4mage team awhile back. Anyway I found a way to flamestrike with the keyboard. Not sure if it still works but I don't know why it wouldn't. Under accessibility options in windows you can turn on mousekeys which basically uses your numpad to move the mouse. The 5 key is a left mouse click if I remember right. I'd just do a top down view and position the pointers just in front of the toons or wherever I planned on flamestriking. I could then hit the flamestrike button then the 5 key and it would cast 4xflamestrikes. Not perfect but an option. I'm sure one of the pros on here could take the concept and twist it into something less barbaric.

Thanks for the replies Il give that a go -- on reseraching further on this my favourite quote is -- Doing this is 7000 kinds of impossible. Although I did see a promising theory using 0,0 and the minimap but it no longer works :-(

Some say if this could be done it would be too close to botting for comfort but damn it could have been useful for AOE gathering quests.

This ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&postID=73253') should do what you want.

Dohagan when you were doing this was it for a single window or multiple windows? Turning on mousekeys via accessability options in windows in conjunction with keyclone DOES NOT work for clicking in each window.

I have the exact same problem...

For me, I have just figured out how to make it work well with octopus.

I simply just set a view on all my guys then flamestrike/blizzard away...
