For real?

start here Macro Forum ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Board&boardID=10')

Make sure your slaves movement keys are Do Not Pass. Reserve your arrow keys for that.

If this is a joke thread then Pharm +1 :thumbsup:

No sersiously, I do actually get it, for some reason I just cant figure it out ^^


atm im using a /follow (main) macro ^^

Do the following:

1: Make the following macro on all your clones, and put it on a hotkey that's the same for all of them (I am using a follow x macro rather than a focus macro)

/follow Party1
/assist Party1

This macro will do 2 things.. Firstly, it will tell all your clones to follow the character who did the initial invite of the party (Automatically party1, but if you change leader, that character then becomes party1)
The 2nd line of the macro will make your clones target the same target as your leader, allowing you to make your next move an attack.

2: If you're using keyclone, set it up to "do-not-pass" the movement keys WSAD, if you're using other programs, do the same. (For Autohotkey, delete or put on hold, the lines in the script that pass these keys.)

3: Find a hotkey that you don't use a lot, but is still within acceptable reach of your movement fingers. Personally I prefer "1", but that's up to you. (I'll use 1 in the rest of my explanation, for simplicity)

4: On your main screen, leave the "1" box empty on your action bar.
4b: On ALL your clones, drag your newly created "follow-assist" macro to the "1" box on the action bar.

5: Activate your key distribution program, assign it to all your active wow windows and press the "1" key.. All your clones should now display "Following xxx" on the screen.

6: Target something and hit the "1" key again.. All your clones should now target the same thing.

Badaboom.. you're ready to rock.. Every time you prepare to move.. Hit the 1 key, just to ensure the guys are on your back, every time you're ready to attack, hit the 1 key to make sure they're looking at the same thing as you...

Big learning curve in mulitboxing

[Wilbur]

Exactly, hense the need to read as much info as possible, prior to even *THINKING* about beginning.

imho we've made it too easy now.

No i agree with you 100% there is alot of info out there. And the more you actually do it, the easier it is to understand. I mean alot of the macros you dont even need to write you can simply CTRL C from the wikki pages and CTRL V into your WOW macros.


Hope thats not a negative comment cause I'm an Idiot and without you guys making it too easy I would have never started M-Boxing!

And dont feel like an idiot but, I mean am an idiot when it comes to alot of this stuff but basic follow is explained in Keyclones demo i think. Followed by a ton of other places.

I multiboxed for years, the hard way. When I found it site it was a huge "AHA" moment for me. I imagine that people who have never ever thought of multiboxing getting introduced to it do have a big learning curve. That doesn't excuse being lazy and not reading the stickies and wikis, IMHO.

[Fleecy]

Since multiboxing I've actually learnt a LOT about the WoW macro system and how to make it work better for me. A lot of reading a just as much patience.

I've had this same thought for a long time... but who cares? Is it going to effect us at all?

I've been doing this for over a year now.. and I still RARELY see another multiboxer in game. (When I do it makes me smile though!)Especially if you are alliance and they are horde and you are 70 and they are 40 and you gank them :P

Are you using keyclone? If so, your problem is probably that you are breaking the "/follow" because you are broadcasting you WASD keys as well. You don't want the clones to receive these keys, just the main. If they clones do receive movement keys, it will break follow and they will start to go in different directions.
