Looking for a simple way to make a follow/assist macro

[afost69]

So finally figured out how to write my own script and what not but now I want to make a macro on my slave that:
1) puts slave on follow
2)makes my slave assist my master and pull up the masters target.

for now I am just tabbing so the are on the same target and having jambs auto follow after combat.

also hopping someone can describe how to write some simple casting macros

[EaTCarbS]

/assist main
/cast spell

[afost69]

/assist main
/cast spell

okay well ell I don't understand how to make a macro that has them follow then auto assist the mains target

Is this for WoW?

/follow charactername
/assist charactername

You can also do things like
/follow Party1
and it follows whoever is party leader.

Probably even easier ways to do that depending on the software you are using, such as IsBoxer.

I am using hotkeynet. Okay so I could do a macro like
/follow name
/assist name
and that's all?

Also I just true that macro and my slave doesn't assist the master. Is there something in depth I'm not getting for the slave to target what the master targets?

No. What everyone else in this thread has said is as easy as it is. If you need help with a macro then you need to post it because it sounds like you're writing it incorrectly.

If you don't know what macros are, then you should brush up on them:
http://wowpedia.org/Making_a_macro

EDIT: Just saw you are using HKN. If that's the case, then you should also paste your script.

lol trust me read way more than just the beginner guide. I'm past learning how to use the HKN program and already rewrote some of my script. I have tried probably ten macros trying to have the slave target the masters target. I created a follow macro and am using jamba for after combat follow. Just CAN NOT get the slave to go from targeting nothing to targeting what wow1 is. Idk if I'm not being clear. But I'll read up on making macros and maybe someone will have the follow assist macro help. Do I need to mouse click with oem3 pressed and click the follow/assist macro while targeting something to get slave to assist?!?!?

and I am using HKN sample script: two wows on one PC

So I have tried a macro like

/follow party1
/assist party1
that didn't work at all trying to cast on same target. So like I said for now I just hit tab so the master and slave both shift to closest enemy

Also eatcarbs posted

/assist name
/cast spellname
so would I have to for say know where that macro is in slaves action bar and hit that hokey after I'm in combat?!

No, you should be manually pressing the key that has the follow macro on it on your slave account. Clicking is generally not used for activating spells, abilities or macros. Clicking is usually restricted to actions like dropping AOE Reticules, using portals and the like.

Really, we can guess all we want about what's going on, but you aren't really providing enough information to troubleshoot with. The problem could lie anywhere between your HotKeyNet script to your macro.

1. Post your script, masking any personal information {passwords, account IDs}.
2. Post your macros exactly as they are written in the game.
3. Post what HotKeyNet says when you press the key you are trying to use to get your slave to activate the macro. It is the big window in HotKeyNet that says "Actions on this PC." Ensure that the "Show" box is checked.

When posting, be sure to wrap each step in code tags [ code][/ code] so it is easier to read {remove the spaces between the brackets}. Also, please do not spam responses. There is a multiquote option at the bottom of every post right next to the "Reply with Quote" button. It looks like a Chat Bubble with Quotes in it next to a Plus sign.

srry one more post just to let you know..no worries I got the macro. It was kind of what I was trying to ask the whole time. So for anyone else wondering how do I do a assist macro all you have to do is put the /assist party1 macro on a hotkey that casts a spell on your "master"

That's explained in the Newbie's Guide in post 4 (http://www.dual-boxing.com/threads/36955-Newb-s-Guide-to-Multiboxing-Start-here-if-you-are-brand-new-to-Multiboxing?p=322299&viewfull=1#post322299).
