So, I kind of understand the parameters of what I'm plugging into my script, but I don't understand what the code is doing and how to add a 4th client.
EDIT: The code directly below this text is the original code used from another post on this site. The problem I'm having with this is that while the script opens 4 windows, all four clients display the grey blizzard error box and crash.

I know this is something simple but I can't figure it out. What is %2%, %3%, %1%, and %4% doing exactly? Is it targetting the 1-4 in WoW1-4? Why do 2 and 3 have UpdateWin and SetForegroundWin but 1 doesn't? What I know so far is that I need to increase the size of the cut out I'm creating in the main client.
From what I understand, the code below may work, I'll test it now and keep this open in case I run into any issues.

Above is the result of trying to use the original script, not sure what it's doing.
Also, I have learning disabilities and struggle with picking up new information so I will need extra time to understand it. I will eventually figure it out so if I ask too many questions, I'm trying to solve what's in my head in my own way.
