PTR 3.1 Interact UI Changes - How To Use Keyclone to tell Slaves to Loot From Your Main

[Svpernova09]

3.1 PTR Testing How to Loot With Multiple/Specific Toons

This is preliminary PTR Testing, subject to change but here is how I'm planning on setting up my teams for 3.1 changes.

Here are 2 existing threads that briefly touch on the topic.
Group loot ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=20099')
3.1 Target/Mouseover Interaction (Slave Looting etc.,) ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=20134')

This thread deals with Keyclone Hotstrings ('http://solidice.com/keyclone/faq_hotstring.html') .

This thread I will show how I plan to set up my team (which is a 3 shaman team) and it should be easily adaptable for a 5 man team. I run a very simplistic setup. I use Keyclone and 3 WoWs. I don't do FTL or anything. I simply have a /follow macro and an /assist macro on the 2 slaves. My typical encounter is running in range of a mob, hitting "2" to get the slaves to assist the main, and then firing off my offensive spells. I then run up and loot on whichever toon. (I always loot on the main unless it is a quest item) I try to keep things as simple as possible. My goal is to allow my main to press a key combination and trigger a specific toon to loot a mob / interact with an object. I'll use Keymaps in KeyClone to accomplish this.

To set up the new Interact functions:
Open up the Options Window and click on Key Bindings, scroll down to Targeting Functions

(Click to Enlarge)

From the screenshots you can see mine are set to Shift +z to interact with Mouseover, and Alt + Z to interact with target. What this allows me to do is run into range of a mob, kill the mob, and then have my slaves target the mob hit alt+z and the slaves will loot the mob. As far as looting goes, I set free for all looting. With this in mind I could just spam 2 to assist and alt+z and let lag determine who gets the loot/quest item. A better option would be to setup a keymap in KeyClone for each toon to loot. This would allow your main to have binds set to tell a specific slave to loot.

Here is how I accomplished telling my slave to loot. I only used a 2 toon setup here, but easily expanded across 5.

First keymap for the Master
http://www.halosrealm.com/images/dual-boxing/MasterTellsSlaveToLoot.jpg

Second Keymap for Slave(s)
http://www.halosrealm.com/images/dual-boxing/SlaveLoot.jpg

Right click on the Main WoW instance in the keyclone window, and select Load Keymap, load your MasterTellsSlaveToLoot.kcl, and do the same for your slave but load the SlaveLoot.kcl.

Now what I can do is target the corpse, hit Shift + C, which does nothing on the main, but tells the Slave to Alt + Z to interact with the target, thus looting the corpse. I know I'm only using 2 toons in this example, but it scales the same for as many toons as you run. Lets say you want Control + C to tell the 2nd slave to loot. Just load your MasterTellSlaveLoot.kcl, click in the key box, Control + C, then in the hotstring, put in Slave2.Loot. Create a new keymap called Slave2Loot, Use the alt+x for the key, Slave2.Loot for the hotstring, click Add, click save. Load this into your 2nd slave and now Control + C will tell the 2nd Slave to loot the target. Rinse and repeat for each toon you have in your group.

Below is the result of the main pressing Shift + C, telling the first slave to loot:
http://www.halosrealm.com/images/dual-boxing/slavelooting.jpg

There are a few different ways you could do this. Simply bind alt+Z to Round Robin and spam it on a corpse until everyone got their item, or you could just blindly let everyone loot everything, lag would determine who gets the loot/quest item first. I'm setting up keymaps because I'd much rather tell tell X toon to loot until he has Y of Z for the quest, then tell the next toon to start looting.

So in practical terms. You can use the Interact With Target to loot, and you can use Interact with Mouseover to gather herbs, mining nodes, realistically ANY interact able unit in the game, even quest NPCs and walls / doors / objects. This is also easily done with any boxing software that supports keymaps / strings /etc. Please remember this is tentative and may not actually make it into the live build as it is currently shown here. I hope this helps explain this wonderful, groundbreaking feature for multiboxers.

[algol]

Thanks :D

[lans83]

right now i've got my AoE spells set to shift+1 and /click bound to ` (console key) after 3.1 i plan on using this still but binding Alt+` for this looting option. i even added /cast skinning to my /assist /follow macro that's set to key 1. that way i get it all there. if it's gonna be possible to add this new "Interact with Mouseover" option into a macro legally, that would be awesome. just add that to that /assist /follow /skin macro and have it all on one key. maybe it'd be a /script command? love the names you chose for those toons. you said it best

[Bigfish]

I'm curious if there is going to be a way to interact with another character's mouseover, for clicking portals and such.

[Akeldema]

/wave
Hav'nt seen you around since that clash of the titans svper:P
Love those character names you got there =D

The "remote" looting will be ggrreeaat :P

Yah, that's what happens when I join a progression raid guild, but with the current content, its more like farming abyss crystals >.<

[Svpernova09]

I hate bumping threads but this is going live today and will give info on the new interact changes on how to loot with specific slaves.

[defactoman]

looks good, ill give it a shot.

[Tombs]

Thanks for the thread.

[Dorffo]

thanks for the info!

[sqeaky4100]

Could it be possible to run it this way?:




In WoWs settings...

Main - Right Click loots target.
Slave1 - Ctrl-Z loots target
Slave2 - Alt-Z loots target
Slave3 - Shift-Z loots target
Slave4 - Shift+Alt-Z loots Target


Now this is all fine and peachy except I don't really want to press ALT-Z every time I want to loot with a slave. I would much prefer using Right-Click. So...



In Keyclone I set it up like this:

Keyclone converts Ctrl+Right Click ---> Ctrl-Z
Keyclone converts Alt+Right Click ---> Alt-Z
Keyclone converts Shift+Right Click ---> Shift-Z
Keyclone converts Shift+Alt+Right Click ---> Shift+Alt-Z



With this method, by pressing Ctrl+Right Click with my main, it *should* send that to keyclone, and then keyclone converts it to Ctrl-Z, and then WoW sees Ctrl-Z and loots with Slave1?


The reason I'm typing this is so I can use Right clicking to loot and have it be more natural. Y




OR


Can WoW accept a mouse click as a keybind? ... If so I can just completely bypass Keyclone. But for some reason, I'm under the impression you can't set Modifyer+Right Click as a keybind.



PS: What's the point of using HotStrings? ... It seems like it just complicates things. Why not just use Shift+C (like you used as an example) to loot with Slave1, and have Shift+C completely disabled in all other slaves WoW Settings? ... Am I missing something? Hotstrings just seem to disable certain key combinations, but you can easily do that in WoWs keymaps right?

[Thulos]

Is this command macroable? And if it is can you use the convention of [target=focustarget] instead of targeting with the drones?

[DIllett7799]

If so I could see it as macro such as /loot /skin >.<
or something to that matter.
But heres my delma. I Want to set my drone (toon B) to skin my target, but I dont want him to skin it untill he loots it. Best way to set this up I could figure would be to key sets. Set toon B to loot via Shift-z and skin via Shift-x or something to that effect. If this is macro'able, the ability would be great, as you could set the more offten used prof's to your main (Such as mining and other things) and skinning which is more of a passive ability. Any input?

Any input?Maybe I'm wrong but... the keybind blizzard added was "interact with target" ... in other words, "Right Click your target" , so you can use Shift-z to talk to quest givers, loot, skin, etc. Not sure about mining though, as you can't target a node.

[DIllett7799]

Well no i ment If it is what you said, and they "interact with target" Is right clicking (I would not know as Im not able to get on my PC tonight :( ) then you can use your alts easly to skin and your main to focus on prof's that you cant use with this new feature.

Interact with target with "essentially" right click it from what I understand. Therefore you just need a simple keybind to interact with it (be it - skinning, looting, etc ) ... you don't need multiple ones.

[Hairball]

There is interact with target keybind, and interact with mouseover keybind.

It works with looting, tested it this evening. :D

[Memn]

Anyone know a script command that can interact with target? I want to make a macro such as:


/assist focus
/script:InteractWithTarget(); // <---- Need the REAL command for this....
/targetlasttarget

[zanthor]

/assist focus
/script:InteractWithTarget(); // <---- Need the REAL command for this....
/targetlasttarget
It's protected, you can keybind it, but you can't macro it.

You can't use mouseover keybinds unless you are going to broadcast your mouse, at which point it's pretty stupid to worry about another keybind since you are broadcasting the mouse and can right click...

The keybind for interact with target is priceless because in 2 keys you can manage looting, opening vendors, opening flightmasters, opening quest givers, etc... the two keys are AN ASSIST MACRO and the KEYBIND FOR INTERACT WITH TARGET.

So, if you can target it, and would have formerly had to right click to interact, you can now target it and press this keybind and skip a lot of bullshit.

[Gurblash]

yea I've noticed that Mouse broadcasting isn't 100% accurate all the time. This is a 100% accurate option which I'm looking forward to trying out tonight.

This is a 100% accurate option which I'm looking forward to trying out tonight.Mouseover is only available to the local client, so in order for the mouseover bind to be useful you already have to broadcast the mouse or position the mouse which is indeed not 100% accurate (however with the broadcasting in Innerspace I'd go 99% when dealing with free standing targets.) That said this is brilliant because you can target the NPC nameplate, then interact... you can target a specific corpse in the ocean of deadshit at your feet, and interact... you can not worry about camera angles, and interact...

You can also turn on "Click to move" and have a form of sticky combat... which is the poop+2 for melee.

[sqeaky4100]

I realize they can now interact with Flight Masters, Quest Givers, etc... But how exactly do you target them still? I realize to loot, your slaves are already targetting them due to just fighting them. But what about Friendly NPCs?


My best guess to easily target a flightmaster would be, have your Slaves targetting you ( like most setups ) and then have a macro that does something to target your target's target? ( thus having your toons targetting the friendly NPC you are )

Therefore, your main is targetting the FlightMaster, you hit the macro, and all the Slaves target the flight master too. Then you hit the "interact with Target" keybind?

Yes, ONE of you has to target it, then you press the assist macro (this should be common knowledge to anyone here, seriously) then the keybind - 2 keys.

You'll need two keys.

You'll need two keys.Yeah. I just read your post in the Macros & Addons forum. Seems great.

THis saves so much time, since Jamba does everything BUT target/open-up the NPCs dialogs. No more switching over and manually clicking, woot.

[dubiox]

well guess what. interact won't auto-loot quest items...

-K

[Maxion]

well guess what. interact won't auto-loot quest items...

-K
Even with autoloot turned on?

[antieuclid]

I spent about an hour last night using the new setup to do collection quests, and it autolooted fine for me.

[dubiox]

oops. ftl on that key :)

duh

-K

[blast3r]

seems it doesn't finish looting if auto loot is on. just turn it off on alts.

[Tonyx]

Looting quest items works for me.

[caldvn]

Looting quest items works for me.
Ditto.

[Nisch]

Looting quest items works for me.

Works fine for me too.

I'm hardware, so I'm not sure if that matters, but when I kill a mob, I target the dead body

Click tilde key to assist
Click TAB to make alts loot.


Sometimes you get the "Object is busy" message, but I just hit tab a couple times every time and it works ok.

It really speeds up the looting, quest window opening, flight path, etc.

I love it. :thumbsup:

[Tonyx]

Just a note though, there are things that aren't targettable and so this Interact with target can't be used:

Some quest givers (i.e. the Sons of Hodirs armor ones, like the helm, the anvil, etc...)
Most quest items that you pick off the ground
Gathering nodes (haven't tested this one)

So, this Interact with target is a big help, but still not the solution to every problem.

[dubiox]

To elaborate, I was using Q as my interact key since it is close to 1 which is my FTL assist/follow key. I had used FTL with the Q key for another group but wasn't using that key with my current group.

So when I would try to interact, all the other toons would get one or more modifiers along with the Q, and the modifier would temporarily turn off the auto-loot.

It was driving me crazy until I brought HKN to the foreground so I could see what was going on. It told me immediately.

-K

[sqeaky4100]

I'm debating whether or not to use a G-Key off of my G15 Keyboard to do the targeting and "interact with target"


Something like... The ` Key /assist's ... and the ~ Key "Interact with target"

Then I could make a macro that does:

`
.02sec Delay
~


This would streamline the whole process into 1 key press, which would be great. But again, I realize this is kinda illegal according to Blizzard, but c'mon it's not really cheating! Is there any way blizzard could track this?

[Yamio]

No idea sqeaky4100 if Blizzard can track this, but it's not something we condone. It's illegal therefore we don't do it, and most of us here will advise you not to do it.

I am hoping for a macro or slash command one day.
/assist dude1
/interactingdooldecommand

I'll take what we have for now. As long as I don't leave too huge of a pile of bodies it make looting on alts trivial.

[Yamio]

Okay, a couple of observations about this:

1. My playing speed (going from one target to the next) has really jumped up! No longer do I have to reach over to my other mouse to loot. This is a good thing

2. If you don't watch it, you'll very easily miss those one off quests that can drop off mobs.

3. Also, you can miss recipes that drop.

Other than those last two, this is very very cool. Thanks for the write up and thanks to Blizz for making our lives easier on looting.

[Starbuck_Jones]

This will be nice for collection quests as well as jamba with quests and flight points. Yea its not perfect, and I don't think I will set up separate keys for each slave. Simply having them all loot a corpse for a quest will result in it going to whoever gets it first, but eventualy they will get their limit and not be able to loot so everyone will complete it eventualy. Only collection quests this will be a problem on are repeatable like the nessingway ears where you can continue to loot past the ammount needed for the quest. But thoes are so few and far between its a non issue.

[lans83]

finally got around to messing with this a bit more yesterday. made a couple changes now. replaced the -, =, shift+-, and shift+= (last two default buttons on key bars 1 and 2) unbound these buttons and replaced with Q and E keys on 1 (both lowercase) and shift+Q and shift+E. put my /assist macro on E, Mend pet for hunters on Q (again, both lowercase), /cast skinning macro on shift+E, and nothing yet on shift+Q. the new interact buttons are now `(console key) on all as main key for Interact with mouseover, Tab as main on all as Interact with target. On secondary keys for each action, i added modifiers for each toon, so main has those keys unbound for now till i need to add them, slave 1 is Shift+` and Shift+tab, Slave 2 has Control+` and Control+Tab, and Slave 3 has Shift+Control+` and Shift+Control+Tab. this way i can easily control who loots what and when. I'll add some screenshots probably tomorrow or soon this week. this new option + click to move = easier life

[SpruceGoose]

Thanks for the how-to Supernova. Got this working on my mage team today and it's very nice. About to hit Northrend this week and have been dreading all the collection quests; this should make it a bit less painful.

[Tonyx]

I don't know.. I found that on normal quests/looting, this actually hinders me as I have to target the body, hit assist, wait, spam interact. And when there are a bit of bodies (more than 3) expecially if there are big ones, checking that you aren't skipping a body is quite slow. I found that going on the slave window and looting as usual is way faster.

I only use interact to loot when everyone has to loot a single body (i.e. the quest item is available for everyone).

Of course, when talking to quest givers/blacksmiths/flight master, interact is the king.

[ghonosyph and the moocrew]

another thing to note for you skinners out there, you DO NOT NEED A SEPARATE MACRO TO SKIN!!!! Put all your toons on click to move as well... use your assist macro, hit your interact keybind and it does all the work!

I love love LOVE this as a melee boxer, it's made my dps and gameplay a MUCH smoother experience... i've even found that i can do collection quests with my druid in tow(he's my skinner) and when i kill a mob i can target it, assist macro for my druid to assist, then press interact target key and my druid(cuz of click to move being on) will run over to that mob, loot it, then another click of the button and he skins it(by interacting it counts as skinning if the mobs been looted. then just target the next mob that i'm already running up to on the other three dks, and hit interact again and all my toons run to the target! romg so awesome lol!!

On a side note, when instancing or fighting in open world i hardly EVER use follow anymore. With click to move just spamming interact every couple seconds, and not moving around on my tank*(if you move the mobs move then you have to re-interact to get correct facing and position) you get a sticky follow to the next target when interacting! i can even manually target with the other toons in my group, click the interact target (for melee this is awesome) and the dks run to the mob they had selected, so fun because the slaves pretty much go off on their own it can almost look at times (thru creative targeting) like you're not multiboxin at all lol

so in summary, CLICK TO MOVE, ASSIST MAIN, INTERACT TARGET KEYBIND = Slaves will run to the target you have forced them to select, loot and or skin, and open quest/flightpaths RINSE REPEAT AD INFINITUM! -woot! ^.^

I've been dual-boxing for a week now (yup, total noobie), and have gotten lots of great info from this site. This topic in particular seemed like a godsend, as it'd keep me from mousing back and forth between windows. Seemed like that, anyways.

Except that it didn't work!

I checked and double-checked my keymaps, made sure everything was typed correctly and that I was loading the right keymap to the right copy of WoW. Still nothing. So I just suffered along with the mousing back and forth. (And there was quite a lot of that, what with all the collection quests in Mulgore!)

Then I gave things in the topic another read. Keymaps - check. Load them up - check. Mouseover - check. Keybinds - check. Click assist macro - wha?

Wait, I click my assist macro?

DOH! :wacko:

Thanks again to the topic creator and everybody on this site who's put up good info for all of us new to dual-boxing.

And for your patience. :)

[Redbeard]

Ive played wow since release but ive never used auto loot... what are the consequences of turning on Auto loot? I am just testing out this interact with object thing now and of course it wont work that well without auto loot on. I would just hate to have some awesome bop item drop and i have auto loot on and my shaman gets a nice 2H sword or something haha. I am assuming that if i have it on master looter that I wont have any issues, but just looking for verification.

Edit: nvm on this i found it (stupid me, lol)

Edit: Additionally, id like to try out the click to move option, but I cant for the life of me find it under the options anywhere. I dont see it on any interface sub menu, on the video menu, etc..... i feel dumb.
Thanks.You can't loot a BoP item without getting the pop up dialog warning, so no one is getting any epix without seeing a dialog if it's BoP.

[Darelik]

3. Also, you can miss recipes that drop.
easily solved by setting loot to FFA :thumbsup:. your main/activetoon will see the recipe but will appear as 'red' and unlootable (coz its only lootable by the toon with the relevant profession).

[hendrata]

Hello,

If I'm reading this correctly, so
1. when you set Alt-Z to "interact with target", you only set them on your slaves
2. Alt-Z is not bound to anything on the main account
3. Pressing Alt Z does nothing for the main but tells slaves to loot.

Now the difficulty is this, I have several trios and the "main" for each of them are on different accounts. I'm retarded I know, there's a long story behind it. I do change from one to another trio quite frequently. That means before each triboxing session I need to readjust who has Alt Z bound to interact with target and who doesn't?

I'm thinking of the following approach, please let me know if this wouldn't work. Gonna try it this evening:
1. Mouse shift-right-click maps to Alt-Z to slave1, alt-right-click maps to Alt-Z to slave2, and the mapping is done via keyclone
2. I never really press Alt-Z itself on master.
3. Therefore I can leave Alt-Z bound to interact with target on ALL accounts.

[keyclone]

personally, i have one key for the '/assist focus' macro and another key for 'interact with target' (bound via wow/keybindings)

when i have an object i want all to interact with, like a quest giver or vendor, i click the target once, hit my assist key and then hit the interact key. nice for junking greys and auto-repairing as well as making sure they all loot the body for a quest item (you have to hit the interact key numerous times... as only one will be allowed to interact at a time)

This shouldn't be an issue if you just go to the top of the keybind window and click "Character Specific Keybinds". Once that is checked the bindings won't be set account wide.

[Otlecs]

3. Therefore I can leave Alt-Z bound to interact with target on ALL accounts.
I don't see why you wouldn't do this anyway and don't worry about how much the main is looting - it's how I've had mine set up since this feature was introduced :)

[hendrata]

Oh thanks so much for character specific keybinding, that'll save so much sanity lol

The reason I don't want main to loot first is because when I do collection quests (yes I do do them), I want my main to complete the quest LAST. I don't care which slave completes the quest in which order, as long as the main completes it last. This way:
1. I still see sparkling object on the ground from my main until everyone is finished.
2. I use questhelper and I still get that icon showing the area where I should kill the mobs.

[Gadzooks]

My team just hit Northrend (woot!) (80 Lock,58 priest, 59 pally, 80 mage or druid for instances), and I cleared out my quest logs, and respecced the pally to Ret (I was playing with tanking), and decided it was time to get the interact feature working - the lock is leader, and most of the time the pally just sat there.

I LOVE THIS NEW TOOL.

I have "interact with target" set to "`", and when I dot a mob, I hit "`" and the pally is off! I love love love love this! Finally, I can use some decent rotations with her! (to make a long story short, she's not going to tank until she can grab and keep aggro from the felguard - she's got a long haul before she does that).

This one keybind opens up a whole new game. Thank you Blizzard!

This week, I'm setting up the looting/skinning/collecting/whatever macros.

I'd been getting a little bored - now i'm all fired up again! :) Interact is going to make life SO much easier - and makes melee much more viable! 5 Rogues? It can be done! :D

I found a much easier (for me) alternative for whole group looting.

1) Unbind following Keybinds on all 5 WoWs:
Shift+1
Shift+2
Shift+3
Shift+4

2) On each slave char set Interact With Target like this:
1st Slave Char Shift+1
2nd Slace Char Shift+2
3rd Slave Char Shift+3
4th Slace Char Shift+4

3) In WoW go to:
Options > Interface > Mouse, and turn on Click-to-Move

Kill a mob, then press either of the shift combinations to make the designated slave char loot/interact with NPC.

@Dzonatan

why the 'Click-to-move' ? would that make my alts move to the target if i interact with them?? (hadn't tried this)

(hadn't tried this)Yes, if the target is lootable, attackable, or talkable they will run to it to loot, attack, or talk. It's nice for when the alts are slightly out of range to loot or talk to someone. Also it can be used to have them face their enemy target. Just tap a movement button to keep them from running toward it too.

This info should be stickied, for ease of readability or copy and pasted into a stickey post.

The infomation right here is "GOLD" and has helped me out 100% for looting and professions. TY
