View Full Version : Mouse view/turn? (nub question)

So I've just started 2-boxing on one computer (the most my poor rig can handle at the moment), running on 2 screens and handling my clone with keyclone. I've gotten kind of used to spamming the assist/follow macro at this point, but I feel like I'd be more comfortable in general if I controlled all my characters' movement directly (hangups on terrain due to lag etc etc). Only problem is, after years of single-boxing I've gotten used to steering and turning my character with right-click mouse view. I don't even have turning bound on the keyboard anymore.

So, is there a secret way to have all my WoW clients respond to mouse view (besides splitting across multiple rigs and using Multibox), or am I stuck using follow and/or keyboard turning?

On a completely separate note, is there any way to control follow distance? (This is mostly in regards to aggro issues with powerleveling a lowbie by dragging him through instances with a 70)

PS Awesome forum guys, this is an amazing resource and I'm sure I'm going to have a blast with this! :D

There is no possible way to have them stay synchronized for more than a few seconds using keyboard or mouse. The myriad tiny latency issues between systems would require WoW to be specifically engineered to do this. Just get used to using follow for most of your movement.

Not that turning with the keyboard isn't useful at times when your main dies. ;)

you can use mouse mapping. (keyclone/setup/mouse mapping)

i use it to handle the /follow

basically, i tie LSHIFT+LBUTTON to my follow key. combined with my right+left mouse click-n-hold to drive, and it works fairly well.

i could tie /assist to the LBUTTON, which would work well when selecting a target... but there is a lag issue between the main selecting the target and the wow server getting the info... basically, if you tie the assist to the instant you click, the assist request from the clone will arrive before the server gets the target command...

there are a few different things you can do with the mouse map.. i hope this gives you some ideas
