Assist - coming from a AHK user

Hi all,

I've been using AHK for a long time now, but after seeing keyclones maximixer in action I really thought it wise to invest in the program.

However I am coming across one small problem which I hope you can help me with ( yes I have searched, and looked at the wiki ;) but other assist threads haven't been able to solve my issue).

Bascially when I have used AHK I had an assist macro set up on my = key.

Code:

---

/assist maintoonname

---

And throughout my AHK script each key depression had it so when I pressed an action key, it would also press the = key too, like so:

Code:

---

ControlSend,, 2, ahk_id %wowid1%
ControlSend,,{= down}{= up},  ahk_id %wowid1%
ControlSend,, 2, ahk_id %wowid2%
ControlSend,,{= down}{= up},  ahk_id %wowid2%
etc

---

But now I am a bit lost on how I can get this similar set up to work with Keyclone. :/

I don't want to use focus as I use it for much needed other abilities...
I don't want to use extensive macros with for example the following: /cast [target=targettarget] - (I have a few too many teams with too many spells that would need altering)
And I really don't want to use the pass mouse clicks option like the left-click button (although I do love this function of keyclone, and will be using it for other things)... as I don't partically use my mouse to target mobs, I primarily tab to targets and then just press my action keys and *boom* things die ;) (yes, I'm weird)...

So I reach out to the community to help me with this small problem :)

Thanks in advance,

Ok, came up with a temporary solution...lol

I run Keyclone to open my wows with the maximixer (yay) and then I used the pause option.... then ran my AHK script >.<

So far so good, but I expect massive problems with this... my script will prob break alot.

And idealy I only want to run keyclone or ahk.. not both :D

Have a macro called "/assist charname" - and then press your spells :p

That would mean having to press 2 keys >.< which kinda defeats the object.

What I need ideally is to have Keyclone set up so when I press 1-0, ctrl 1-0, shift 1-0 is for it to press = aswell.
If that is possible some way please let me know :)

Insert a /click in the macro.

Create an assist macro and put it in say the first button.

the first button ID is ActionButton1 "i think"

than create another macro for your attack.

#showtooltip Frostbolt
/click ActionButton1
/cast Frostbolt

something like that I am not in front of my macro's so I am doing it from memory

do a search for some of my post I know I mention /click assist somewhere. This is not my idea I gleaned it from the wiki somewhere.

on each character, make the following wow macros:

-------
# focus macros, name in parenthesis
#
macro(1): /focus joe
macro(2): /focus sam
# ...continue for all characters

# standard assist and follow macros
#
macro(assist): /assist focus
macro(attack): /startattack [target=focustarget]
macro(follow): /stopattack

/follow focus


# now a common targeted spell macro
#
macro(fireball): /cast [target=focustarget] fireball
-------

assign them to your in-game keys however you do it (i use TrintyBars)

group up... hit the focus key once... then you are ready to go. each character will now use the focus for targeting.
just click a target (or tab), and fire. rinse / repeat.

:D

Thanks for your replies. :)

The only problem with the focus macro, is I use that for crowd control... so it would be to messy to use focus.

I'm going to try the click thing that Fizzler mentioned, hopefully that'll do the trick. :)
If not, I'll stick with my unusual combo... as I have to say that using both Keyclone and AHK together hasn't caused any issues (so far, been playing for quite a few hours now) - my script hasn't even broke! :O I know that they were not intended to be used this way, but well the features of both are a great, and go pair up nicely with each other! :D

Thanks again all ;)
