Herb gathering, camera/view macro

[Grondir]

Hey folks,

Excuse the noobish question, but what is the macro to get the camera facing in the same direction on all characters? I find when trying to multiharvest, I'm having to cycle through each screen and click because there cameras move all over the place while moving around...

Cheers

There is a thread about this with AHK http://www.dual-boxing.com/threads/53676-WoW-Multiboxing-Problem-with-gathering which gives a little theory. Are you using ISBoxer or something else?

No matter what you are using, here are the basic steps that I use and have cobbled together from what I've seen.

Line up characters as best you can on top of each other.
Change to a top down view, mostly zoomed in.
Send mouse click to harvest node.
Deal with loot issues.
Set camera back to a normal view.


Are you having trouble with all of these, or just the method for changing the camera?

I use isboxer.

I usually run toons alongside, back up main slightly so they're all more or less together. Enable broadcast, click and loot.

But lately the camera doesn't seem to align very well across the toons and I seem to have to go click individually more often. Was just after a way to speed it up...

SetView() (http://wow.gamepedia.com/API_SetView)?

...or are you referring to something else?

I think that's it. Do I just use a macro on all toons. Something like /script SetView(4);SetView(4)?
