Keyclone/AutoHotkey Question - Games besides WoW

[ichybon]

I have been doing as much research as I can, but I am having trouble coming up with a way to control a 2nd character "game window on the same system" as of following/assisting target. There are games that do not have such features as assist target or follow so I was wondering if there was a way to use AutoHotkey mouse scripts? But would it be based off (X,Y) coordinates which you would have to have both characters on top of each other and have the same identical viewings "which would be very difficult" or would you have to set up each mobs colour code of some sort. Can't think of any other way having 2 windows click on the same target, or ground for moving.

I was messing around with Shadowbane and had everything set up with AutoHotkey except for the assisting part.

How does Keyclone work without having hotkeys setup for /assist or /follow?

i use to use keyclone for shadowbane all the time. i would just log my 10 guys in, put them all in a group, put on formation... and run to the location. once there, i would /target the target.. which all clones would mimic.. and blast it.

stray bullet changed their targeting system in sept 2006 due to whining pressure from the remaining carebears. by removing the /target, they also hosed target calling in vent.. which was a great part of the game. now it's "target the big guy on the left" "which left?" etc... and with the radically low population, SB isn't worth it anymore (sorry to say).

today, the guys at stray bullet continue to noodle with irrelevant coding changes while their UI continues to age. oh well.

meanwhile... back to your question...

you could try enabling the "mouse-click-passing" in keyclone and see how that works for you.

Thanks for the quick reply, I know Shadowbane is outdated, but I just wanted to see if I could control 2 characters for the fun of it. I have not "yet" purchased keyclone but it looks like I have no alternative besides AutoHotKey. I have everything set up except for the targeting issue. Perfect World beta opens up in a week or so and I just wanted to be ready to know how to dual box on the same machine. I do not think there is going to be /target /assisting in P.W. so I'm going to have to go the mouse route.
Would like to know if theres a way to have 2 windows in sync and control their movement and targeting by mouse clicks.

So I found a script for executing right clicks:
#IfWinActive Shadowbane
~RButton::
CoordMode, Mouse, Relative
MouseGetPos, x, y
ControlClick, X%x% Y%y%, ahk_id %idMain%,, R
ControlClick, X%x% Y%y%, ahk_id %idClone%,, R
Return

works fine, if both my characters are on top of each other and the zoom/camera angles are near perfectly matched up.
But then you would not be able to zoom in and out "mouse wheel" or turn the camera angle up,down,left right. "My camera angle keys are w,a,s,d"
so I tried hot keying my angle keys but got very chopping and sometimes no results at all. I tried various scripts such as:
~a::
#IfWinActive, Shadowbane
{
ControlSend,,{a down}{a up}, ahk_id %idMain%
ControlSend,,{a down}{a up}, ahk_id %idClone%
}
Return
I tried w/ & w/out the "~" |& "ControlSend,, a," & the {down/up} script posted above, but no luck. I'm going to call it a night for now & try again in the morning. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated :D
