Need help programming same button press across 2 wow accounts

[raine697]

Hey guys, I'm new to multiboxing, and I have no programming experience whatsoever. I hope that I'm not asking a question that's been answered a thousand times before, but I searched the forums and I can't seem to find an answer.

So, anyway:

I'm wanting to multibox in WoW to level a character 3x faster through RAF, I don't care about the character on my secondary account, and I don't want to set up macros to make both of them attack or anything. I just want to make it so that I can control the main character and have my secondary character accept and turn in quests from the main instance of WoW so my characters level equally and don't get 4 levels apart (which would cause me to lose my 3x bonus).

I was reading this forum post

( http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html;jsessionid=8B9BB9F72F1E0CD4D5220780E57 29579.app11_06?topicId=9336499878&postId=93356118465&sid=1 )

and the guy in it posted macros to make the secondary character accept quests that the main shares just by the press of a button.

THIS is what he posted:

"I use this script on my clone (type it into the text field under macros and drag it onto a bar somewhere) which helps quite a bit:

/script AcceptGroup();
/script AcceptQuest();
/script AcceptTrade();
/script RetrieveCorpse();
/script RepopMe();

I bind this to Shift+`, which is the same button that on my main has a
/invite clone name
/ffa
macro on it.

That way I just tap the Shift+` button a couple times and it invites, accepts the invite, and sets looting to free for all. I then have ` bound to /follow mainname so I can easily follow the main toon. Also, when picking up quests, you can accept them on your main and share quest, then tap the accept macro and your clone will autoaccept the quest you're sharing. "


So really all I need to know is how to set up HKN so that when I press one button (specifically SHIFT-`), it will press that button in the second instance of WoW at the same time, where I will have that button bound to that macro. I just downloaded the program and you have to right a full script and I have absolutely no idea how to do that. The FAQ on the HKN website wasn't very helpful, it assumed I already know programming/what the triggers are/etc. I've been reading many various posts across different websites, but I just don't know how I'm supposed to figure out what to type in scripts to get them to work. Is there a list of different commands somewhere, or do people just learn these things over time?

On a related note, if someone could tell me how to set up a way to remotely make the secondary character turn in quests I would greatly appreciate. Again, I know I am a hardcore noob when it comes to this (aka all the FAQS I read assumed a more comprehensive understanding of the program than I have) and I want to apologize for posting a probably rediculously simple question and taking up 10 paragraphs with it.

You don't need to write any scripts, there are free starter scripts on the site

http://hotkeynet.com/wow/wow-sample-two-on-one.html

This script already sends A-Z, 0-9, Plus, Minus, F1-F12 to both copies of WoW. Just write your macros and put them on one of those keys, nothing requires that you use the exact same key combination that the poster you linked used. If you really must have it use shift+` replace :


<Hotkey ScrollLockOn A-Z, 0-9, Plus, Minus, F1-F12 except W, A, S, D, Q, E>

with

<Hotkey ScrollLockOn A-Z, 0-9, Plus, Minus, F1-F12, Oem3 except W, A, S, D, Q, E; ScrollLockOn Shift A-Z, 0-9, Plus, Minus, F1-F12, Oem3 except W, A, S, D, Q, E>

You can now send A-Z, 0-9, Plus, Minus, F1-F12 and ` as well as Shift+ any of those keys. Note that the script requires that you have your ScrollLock key ON in order to work.

I would suggest Jamba (http://www.dual-boxing.com/showthread.php?t=12374) for dealing with quests. You will also need to set up interacting. I already have a guide on setting up Jamba (http://www.dual-boxing.com/showthread.php?t=28573), including a section on how to set up interacting and the quest section of Jamba (http://www.dual-boxing.com/showpost.php?p=265230&postcount=3&highlight=Quest).

Thank you so much. I saw that script but I couldn't figure out what it did. I thought it duplicated those keys listed, but wasn't sure. Do I need to tell it to copy keystrokes in specifically my instances of wow, or does it know where to duplicate or does it just press those keys in all programs I have open?

If you start your WoWs manually, start them.

Start HotKeyNet.

Once it all loads, turn ScrollLock on and hit Ctrl+R. This renames your windows from "World of Warcraft" to WoW1 and WoW2.

HotKeyNet will now send the appropriate keystrokes only to the windows named WoW1 and WoW2.
