Hello, So i have spent upwards of two hours trying to set up keyclone. I have watch four you tube videos and none seem to help. I also attempted to go to a link in the "commonly asked questions" tab that gave you basic instructions for how to set up keyclone... I tried to do this, but when i did. It said the page didnt exist. If i could just get the link to that thread or possibly someone that would like to join my vent channel and help me out that would be great!

Thanks,

Manche

Thanks again, that helped i figured out the problem. Now the only problem i have is that when im moving around etc... the toon wont just follow me he moves on his own often times completely moving away from me. is there a way to make it so the other toon simply follows behind mine?

You need to set up a targetting/follow macro. In addition to that, you might want to check out Jamba ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=12887') too. Many people find this addon very useful, I know I couldn't live without it :D

Oh ok, that makes sense. Im sorry that but i am new to macros etc. The best macro i have/ever made would be a steady shot macro... I dont suppose you could give me detailed information on how to setup the macro where to put it etc.



Thanks,

Manche

Here you have a lot of reading to do i guess.. :D

I think its better to read up on the subject and try then just ask how should i do this.
It will make things easier in the long run when you need to change or tweak your macros.

If you are using WASD to move your char, try putting them on the "do not pass" list in Keyclone.
Your other toons should be on /follow so sending the WASD keys to all other windows will brake /follow.

That makes sense.. Ok so here is my problem..

Im trying to use [Keyclone] step-by-step wow macro setup (level 2.0) ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=18695') to setup the macros for follow/attack etc. Im just running with a priest/mage. Im using the mage as the leader, but i cant ge tthe priest to keep attacking after it does the first one. The other problem i have is that im completely unsure WHICH macros goes with WHICH character.

This would be my problem.

Thanks!

Oh, so ifigured out yet another problem. As well as me not knowing which macro goes with which character... When i attempt to attack the only thing the computer can do is wand while i fireball etc.



I was also wondering with this macro setup, when do i press which buttons. I know this is a lot to ask, but i read a few forum pages and cant seem to find any bearing.



Thanks,

Manche

Thanks,

Mancheif you're "wanding" things, you will have to keep pressing the wand key. if you're casting spells. characters will not continue to cast spells repeatedly unless you press the button to do so. there is no automation except to autoattack.
you might wanna start with casting spells together. frostbolt+holy smite. or something.

Oh, no thats not the problem.. Ill be casting fireball on the mage, but the priest iwll only SOMETYIMES cast smite.. They will continue wanding if i jujst press it once. Im trying to figure out the macros still and its not moving far along. They will cast together for... maybe 1 mob sometimes 2, but usually the priest will smite once, and i have to reload the wow to get it to smite again.

It my be useful if you copy the macros you are having trouble with in here and then people might be able to see if anything is set up wrong with them. I'll try and explain some basics, but I apologise if I'm repeating stuff that you already know.

As for which macro goes with which character, split it by character, anything you want your priest to do goes in their macros (personally I use the character specific macro section unless I run out, if you have any macros which you might want to use for a different 'team', e.g. the 'accept all' macro then put that in the general macros tab so you don't have to rewrite it for other characters on that account). For starting out it's probably best to have one toon as your 'main' (in this case your mage I think as that's how you seem to have set it up) and the other toon as your 'alt'. So your main is the one who's screen you focus on most of the time and the alt is the one who's in the background and will need most of the macros to get casting. Once you're more comfortable with macros and multi-boxing you can move onto a more flexible set-up.

For simple spells your mage shouldn't need any macros, as that's the one you'll be actively controlling when fighting stuff.

Your priest will need macros for their abilities to tell them to target what your mage is attacking. There are several ways of doing this through macros and I'll explain the most common ones here (I'd suggest you pick one way and use that for all your attacks, rather than mix and matching). Your alt can have a delay in picking up your mains target though, so when your priest doesn't attack it might just be that it's being slow to pick up the mages target.

Focus:
Very simple to use, you focus your mage with your priest with a little macro that reads (without the <>)

/target <mage name>
/focus

You use this macro one to 'focus' your mage with your priest and then you write your attack macros in the following way (inserting whatever spell you want at the end, the harm bit is there so it only tries to attack enemy targets, not friends. If you are doing a healing spell then use 'help' instead of harm):

/cast [target=focus,harm] Smite

Target:

You can have your priest target your mage with /target <mage name> and then write your macros to attack your target's target, that looks like this:
/cast [target=targettarget,harm] Smite

By character name:

You can write a macro to attack a particular characters target, you have to be grouped though for this to work (which you'd probably want to be grouped anyway).

/cast [target=<mage name>-target,harm] Smite

You can also have your alt assist your main, but I've not used this one, so don't want to give you the wrong information.
