Noob Dual Boxer (AHK Help please :>)

[matt13101]

Hey all :> This has been frustrating me for days.. I have been reading from AutoHotkey Guide ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=807'), downloaded autohotkey and all that jazz. Ok, I have 2 versions of WoW open, 2 accounts, 2 priest. Windowed mode. Both on 1280 x 800 res. I'm going to start from scratch with what I have done as to give the best possible explanation. After downloading auohotkey, I opened Autoscriptwrite. In the text field I entered the coding from the listed thread and clicked save. I have both WoW's open, then open the script I saved (it is now in the taskbar), I select a "main" machine after prompted to by the script, but when I try to test if they're working (by pressing enter to see if the chat box opens on the other) it won't work. The keystrokes won't get to the other session of WoW. I am running them both on the same computer. What can I do? So frustrated lol.. Thanks in advance for any advice and help!

Hi!

If you want to get up and running fast i suggest you follow Diamndzngunz advice.

If you on the other hand want to learn some AutoHotKey and get it working that way I'll give some easy steps:
(some AutoHotkey experience can be very useful for other things than WoW when working with a windows machine)

1. Install autohotkey (this you have done, if i got it right)
2. Start->Programs->AutoHotKey->"AutoHotKey help file"
3. Read the first few chapters of the help file. Focus on everything about HotKeys and KeyRemapping.
4. There are several examples in the help file that you can try out yourself. (like script that auto-opens notepad and types some text etc.)
5. Take a second look at the scripts posted in the stickies.
6. Combine your new won knowledge about autohotkey and the scripts on this site and customize to your enjoyment.

Note: You don't need to understand the program-structure or variables etc to be able to make a simple multiplexing or remapping script.


Good Luck whichever path you choose!
