Char A opens window with Merchant X.... is there any way to assist Char A and open windows across all characters?

I'd see this as especially helpful when I'm doing mass repairing/vendoring (which are done automatically by one of my addons). I dont see it in the macro wiki, but I wouldnt' think there would be any reason.

/assist charA

I need a
/engageNPC
command of some sort

LOL I wish.

This may be doable in WoTLK, mmo-champion reported on a added feature where when you hover over the unitframe of a vendor for example the icon shows, i havent seen anymore about this - but it suggests that you maybe able to interact with the npc just by targeting them.

But yeh, at this current moment in-time there is no way that i know of to do it.

1) Turn on mouseclick broadcasting.
2) Right-click NPC.
3) ???
4) PROFIT!!!

It's possible to do through the same methods used to loot corpses without a mouse, and may even be possible through some other methods that I'll investigate and report back on later... :)

This WAS possible back in the day :(

Hi all - I'm new around here. At the moment I'm just playing around with 2 accounts & 3 trial accounts, to see if 5-boxing is something I want to do. It's great fun so far!

1) Turn on mouseclick broadcasting.
2) Right-click NPC.
3) ???
4) PROFIT!!!So how do you go about arranging your toons so this is easy? I'm finding it hard to get the NPC in the same place on all 5 screens.
Is there some magic SetCameraPosition API or something like that?

command of some sortA couple of options here:

1) See if this thread ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=6898') helps you. Basically the idea is that as well as looting, you should be able to use the key binding to open npcs as well. The trick is to zoom into first person view on your slaves and then have them run real close to the npc. I think in the thread, someone said they got it to work well enough. Personally I've never bothered; right-clicking the npc on the slaves becomes habit fairly quickly.

You can set first person view using the following script.


/script SetView(1)

2) hotkeynet ('http://hotkeynet.com/') can broadcast mouse clicks ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=8118') as well as key clicks. That's ok, so far, but what is cool is that hotkeynet also scales the mouse broadcast to the size of each slave window, so you are essentially hitting the same spot on each slave. If you use this, you still have to have the same camera settings on all our toons.

Good luck!
