View Full Version : Full Synchronization?

Well I'm trying use Keyclone - it copy moves not bad. But one question - how to make a 2nd character follow my exact turning moves? And mouse synchronization exists? It's annoying when my 2nd char is not following me, then I need to pause Keyclone, then press follow macro everytime I'm finished with fighting.
Sorry for noob question.

Mouse-sync isn't currently available afaik but characters should still follow your main when you move around corners/etc when they are on follow.

You should look into twoboxtoolkit and it's sticky-follow option for having alts refollow main after fights, but I don't use it too much since I just leave them all on follow when I'm outdoors questing, no mob really mean enough to need to split them back and tank out front (though Terrorcantula last night almost made me change my opinion)

this is the problem:

http://solidice.com/keyclone/screencaps/kc_wow_heading.gif

wow implements the game world as a series of objects, all with a position in 3 space along with a direction vector (as well as velocity and acceleration vectors). when you move forward, you are pushing along the direction vector. these vectors are most likely accurate to within a hundredth of a degree. as such, even a half degree variance would result in quite a deviation from course as you move forward.

until you can synchronize the heading of each character, like the image on the left, you will never be able to keep them 100% lined up.

now.. this does not mean you cannot fake it. using /follow... you run in a direction... and in toe will be your characters following the best they can. if there were no obstructions, they would be on an identical heading after a short while (all following straight behind the leader). once that is done... you could take the alts off follow... then step the leader back on top of the alts. now all characters would be synchronized... and keyclone will keep them in line as you move with your keys.

and no, mouse cloning is not supported
