Hotkeynet Formation Script

[Kalikiano]

I need some help with this script. Not sure exactly what it does. I only run a combo so maybe if I was like 5boxing it would look correctly.

<Label w1 IP_ADDRESS SendWinM wow1>

<Label w2 IP_ADDRESS SendWinM wow2>

<Label w3 IP_ADDRESS SendWinM wow3>

<Label w4 IP_ADDRESS SendWinM wow4>

<Label w5 IP_ADDRESS SendWinM wow5>

What exactly do you want to know?

[Kalikiano]

I have seen in videos where the slaves move out like: x x X x x or in more of a circle around the main. Since I just run a combo team then my slave should just move to the left twice? Looking for a good formation for a two man team so that my shaman has a little distance for casting and LoS issues.

[Ferrea]

This doesnt require HotKeyNet script.

Assuming we have four characters, Aaaa is your main, followed by Bbbb Cccc and Dddd.

Choose one key like, 'H' (it was the first key I seen.) Unbind the H key for Aaaa, is there a binding for H? Anywho, then bind 'H' to Strafe Left for Bbbb, bind 'H' to Strafe Right for Cccc, and bind 'H' to Backward for Dddd. When you press and hold the H key now, Aaaa will remain stationary, Bbbb will strafe left, Cccc will strafe right, and Dddd will backup.



And done.

The original poster may not need a multiboxing program for this because with only two toons, the only possible pattern is for them to move apart, and moving one by itself will accomplish that.

But regarding Ferrea's comment, how can H be received by three windows simultaneously without HotkeyNet or some other multiboxing tool?

Edit: For people with more toons, the difference between Ferrea's suggestion and the script above is that the script spreads toons out around the leader no matter which of them happens to be the leader at that moment.

When I bind like F11 as backup key and hit it on my main my slave will just twitch a little and not actually move it just twitches this does work nicely to break /follow.

OT:
Freddie, thanks alot for HKN. I used to use AHK but HKN does everything I want and with no pricetag. HKN and Jamba make a great combo.

I'm not sure if you're asking how to broadcast movement or you like it this way. If you want this to work differently, just ask and show me the script.

You're welcome and thanks for the kind words. :)

<Label w2 local SendWinM wow2>








<MovementHotkey up, down, left, right>

<SendLabel w1, w2>

<Key %Trigger%>

I guess a simple movement setup would be easier since im just using a dual team. I got this off your site and edited it for my script. I never use the arrow keys to move so it would be nice to control my slave's movement using just those keys and not e d s f.

[Freddie]

Are you saying you want that to affect only the slave? In that case, change line 5 so SendLabel goes only to the slave:



<Label w1 local SendWinM wow1>
<Label w2 local SendWinM wow2>

<MovementHotkey up, down, left, right>
<SendLabel w2>
<Key %Trigger%>

[Kalikiano]

awesome that did the trick should have just used that since the beginning exactly what I needed since Im only 2 boxing.

Do you have a preference on the order of the script or does it not matter?

1. Send Labels
2. Resize windows
3. PiP
4. Hotkeys
5. Mouse
6. movement

[Freddie]

Only two things matter.

<Label> comes before <SendLabel>.

<Command> comes before you use the name of that command in a hotkey.

If you write them in the wrong order, the program will generate a red error message, so you don't need to worry about it. The program will tell you.
