I've seen a few videos so far of 5 boxers and I've noticed a few of them have a neat little thing.

Unlike me, when their trailing characters stop behind their main character, they evenly spread out behind him/her.

Is this done by a macro or an add on type thing? It's not something I necessarily need...but it just looks so much better, like your actually commanding little troops into battle :p

Wiki... it's there for a reason. Of course, so are stickies at the top of each forum. Enjoy.

really simple

just go to keybindings

on you first alt you put strafe left on F11
second alt strafe right on F11
third...
fourth...

so when you press F11 your toons will spread out

ah the old spread out forums :).

I multibox 4 toons, and this is what i have set up.

1
2
3
4

as the run and I stop they will all stack up.
making X

From there on toon 2 i have "s" set to strafe left.
3- strafe right
4. backstep

this makes a (the one is a little forward because the follow never stacks right up on top)
---- 1
-2-----3
-----4
or you can have no movement on 4.. which i personally like making-
--------1
---2---4---3

To make a line 2 3 1 4, you have to do a little something different that takes a little practice
1- "s"= no movement.. unbind the key
3- "s"- strafe left
4- "s"- strafe right
2- "a new key "f"- hold down for a little longer to have him strafe left over 3 and get further out.


You can do this with more and more characters .. for example 5 would have "f" also but strafe right, which u hold down longer 2.
hope this helps!

Awesome.

I'm only tri-boxing atm. A delta formation would sure turn some heads :)
