Follow Macro

[buzzpinguin]

Hello there,

I'm kinda new to multiboxing. I'm currently using HKN with Jamba, but I've got some movement issues.

Currently I'm using the /follow 'master' macro keybinded on W, A, S, D. It works fine, but whenever I have to move in combat they start running after me(obviously), but most of the time they aren't facing the enemy anymore. Is there some kind of code or trick to make them stick behind me, facing the enemy?
Right now I'm trying to move infront of them, even at the cost of hurting my master character, so they will face my back thus the enemy.


I've also tried the auto follow option Jamba provides. Unbinded W, A, S, D on slaves and put a /follow macro on F1.
But I've still got the same issue when I start moving while in combat.


Thanks in advance!

We don't just bind /follow to WASD for this exact reason. Use a separate follow key so you can leave your slaves where you want them and still move your main without screwing up positioning. There is no simple way to correct facing, though I do go over it briefly in the Second Newbie's Guide (http://www.dual-boxing.com/threads/46393-Khat-s-Newbie-Guide-for-Multiboxing-Vol-2?p=354395&viewfull=1#post354395).

Follow doesn't break on its own in the game or in Jamba, you need your slaves to move independently - make everyone strafe or step forward/backward to break the follow command. If you are using Jamaba's follow strobing, you first need to use the command to disable follow strobing, then break follow. You also need to be aware of anything else that can trigger autofollow or follow strobing {delays, lag, dropping in and out of combat} or follow will just start up again.

I did read the first part of the guide but never scrolled down to the movement part:o
I'm currently just questing, since they are lvl 40ish, so /follow on WASD isn't such a big deal. Though I do want to go and pvp at 85(cata server) and I can imagine it wouldn't work that superb. So I might just change it now to get comfortable with it.
I'll unbind WASD on slaves, use the Jamba strobing and play around with follow and break follow.

Thank you !
