Following the active window without focus?

[mrjovan]

This is the part of the script I figured would work, however I am not sure how to make it so the background windows follow the main one via targeting them in party with F2-F4 and then sending (in my case) ALT+F to follow the target. Should I send the key to each window separately?

//-----------------------------------------------------------
// FOLLOWING ACTIVE WINDOW
//-----------------------------------------------------------
<Hotkey ScrollLockOn Delete>
<If ActiveWinIs WoW1>
<SendLabel w2, w3, w4>
<Key
<Else If ActiveWinIs WoW2>
<SendLabel w1, w3, w4>
<Key
<Else If ActiveWinIs WoW3>
<SendLabel w1, w2, w4>
<Key
<Else If ActiveWinIs WoW4>
<SendLabel w1, w2, w3>
<Key

without including the rest of your HKN script, or examples of macros currently configured on your slaves, you are really leaving a great deal of deduction up to the reader, and that itself alone is based on only a very small amount of information provided.

in my mind, the answer is quite clear. but it is likely i am going to answer the wrong question. i'll give it a shot.

but before i do so, i should ask why would you want to ever change ONLY the follow, and NOT most importantly the focus, when changing the master active window? would you not instead prefer that all followers change their FOCUS to the active window, and be enabled with all hotkey macros which pertain to FOCUS?

that said, i am not trying ActiveWinIs, since i do instances, and if i lose my main (tank) focus, then the whole party is pretty much going to die in a very ugly fashion shortly after anyway. i don't world pvp with them in other words. also, i already know my implementation of HKN / wow macros is different than yours.

but, i think you are going to have to define 4 different "keys" in order to change the follow. (probably what you are asking anyway)

//-----------------------------------------------------------
// FOLLOWING ACTIVE WINDOW
//-----------------------------------------------------------
<Hotkey ScrollLockOn Delete>
<If ActiveWinIs WoW1>
<SendLabel w2, w3, w4>
<Key LCtrl F9
<Else If ActiveWinIs WoW2>
<SendLabel w1, w3, w4>
<Key LCtrl F10
etc. . .

<LCtrl F9> would simply be a key sequence bound to a key which had a simple wow macro like

/stopcasting
/target toon_name_number_1
/focus
/follow

<LCtrl F10> would simply be a key sequence bound to a key which had a simple wow macro like

/stopcasting
/target toon_name_number_2
/focus
/follow

leave out the focus if you are not interested in the follower slaves changing their focus from the original master

all windows (master and slaves) would have these keys defined (4 different keys)

i don't use F2, F3 or F4 to change follows, or targetting by party slaves. not that it is bad or anything. it is just a different implementation of how i have set up mine.

warning: keep in mind that this implementation is completely dependent on "wow1", "wow2", "wow3", and "wow4", always having the exact same "toon_name_number" logged in to that window.

i can't tell though, since you have left out the top of your HKN script, and do not know if you have automated it or not.

if not (meaning that you launch your master and slave windows by hand right now), then you should script it, automate logins to WoW, and always ensure that the account (toon_name_number) is always mated to the same "wow1", "wow2", etc for every gaming session.

if so, then orchestrating a dynamic follow based on the active window is a slam dunk (very straight forward).

p.s. i probably answered the wrong question. sorry in advance.
