How-Do-I: Send a key to only alts?

Hi everyone,
I'm new and have perused the forums for a solution to my problem but have not come up with anything. I'm looking for a way to send commands to all my alts but not my main window. Since I switch which window is my main, I don't simply want to remove keybindings on the main. For example, I would like to be able to use the arrow keys to rotate my alts, but not have it rotate my main. If I remove the keybinding for arrows on my main, it will not work when I swap windows and make another character my main. I am using keyclone btw. Any advice on how to do this would be greatly appreciated. There are a few different things I am trying to do which all require this functionality.

When I was just starting I also looked for this but never found a solution either.

Sorry.

Heh, I'm curious to see what Freddie's deleted respones was :P This is definitely possible in HKN. If it turns out it's not possible with Keyclone then perhaps you could run the two simultaneously and figure out a work around solution.

Heh, I asked Jeremy, "Which multiboxing program are you using?" I thought that if he was using HotkeyNet I would explain how to do it.

Then I realized he had already answered my question so I deleted it.

I thought it was going to be something like "JEREMY YOUR MOTHER IS A *****" ... and that you came to your senses and edited it =)

Im sure everyone would love to see your HKN instructions.

Well suppose you have a main and two alts. You want to press Alt 7 and have it go to just the alts.

Code:

<Hotkey Alt 7> <SendLabel Alt1, Alt2> <Key Alt 7>

The second line tells HotkeyNet where to send the keystrokes. It says, "Send to Alt 1 and Alt 2" but it doesn't mention the main, so nothing goes to the main.

This is quite simple.

In keyclone I use simple keymappings for this.

Example:
I bind the left and right arrow keys to 9 and 0 keys (doesn't have to be these, but for the sake of example.)

I then make and load keymaps that have the following strings:

9 "left"
0 "right"
left-arrow "left"
right-arrow "right"

When I now press left or right arrow ingame, it only ever turns my alts, no matter which character I'm on as a main. (Since the main registers left or right-arrow being pressed, but the three alts see 9 or 0 being pressed.)

You can ofcourse also leave ingame keybinds intact but use different binds to turn. (In my case, I use a NT52e and have the d-pad bound to < left and > right. And made keymaps to do:
< "left"
> "right"
left-arrow "left"
right-arrow "right"
With the wow keybinds still normal arrow keys, it works the same as above example. It just depends on which keys you want to use. (In this case the main registers < or > being pressed, but the three alts see left or right-arrow being pressed.)

I use the same method for spread out macro's. ie. No matter which char I am on, one button always spreads out the group properly. However this is slightly more (but only slightly) complicated.
