So I used to multi-box with 3 accounts a while back, but I stopped because my old computer couldn't take it anymore. I now have custom built a huge gaming rig and am excited to be 5-boxing for the first time with no issues, using keyclone and maximizer and my main software applications for my multiboxing. My question is simple. I'm looking for macros/key bindings/mods that will allow me to control the placement of my toons. Before, when I only 3-boxed, it was easy. I just had a key that mad my main stant still, and the other two strafe left/right respectively. And then another key in reverse to bring them back together again. Now, with 5-boxing, I have a similar key binding with my main standing still and my four toons strafing left/right or moving forward/back respectively. This just doesn't seem to have the same effect. Or my toon moving forward pulls agro before intended. I have seen others be able to make cool formtions like a strait line or a diamond fairly accurately, but I don't know how they do it. I also swear I have seen a "how to" on this on the internet before, but now I can't find it. I'm hoping one of you guys has a link to something like this that you reffer back to a lot that you could easily share. Either that, or if you have any suggestions for "internal crowd control" beyond a /follow button (which I already have) that would be great! Thanks guys.

If you are using keyclone it is pretty easy to do. Create a keymap for each toon. Unbind a key in wow. For example, unbind the F1 key in wow for all your boxing toons. For the cross or diamond formation in keyclone do this

On toon1 bind F1 -> Cross
on toon2 bind w -> Cross
on toon3 bind q -> Cross
on toon4 bind e -> Cross
on toon5 bind s -> Cross

When on your main (toon1) and you press F1 ->

Toon1 it does nothing
Toon2 moves forward
Toon3 strafes left
Toon4 strafe right
Toon5 move backward

For a line, you will want Strafe Left for two toons on one key.
In addition you'll want Strafe Left for one of those two toons on a different key.
If you are using ISBoxer, you could make a two step Keymap, with both moving on step 1, and only one on step 2.
With ISBoxer, turn on "Hold any keystroke actions while hotkey is held".

Do the same as above, for two toons to strafe to the right.

On the first button (or press of the button, with 2 steps), two toons move left and two move right.
On the second button (or second press, with 2 steps), one of each pair of toons moves further left or right.
