I am currently running on an mac. I am using Clone key's and the problem im having with this is when i follow or dont and he follows my keys he will some times endup all the way other side of me. I think I need a new program that wont record my arrow keys and just keep my letter keys for the dualboxing. I can not edit this program tho. If anyone could give me suggestions it would be appreicated
Change the keybinding setup in WoW on your follower so it doesn't use the one you drive your main with. (but keep the alternate set so you can still run and turn manually on all if you have to) This should keep normal follow from breaking.
Thats the thing I cannot find anything that will stop transmitting the arrow key's to other client. I would prefer to use another program that allows me to edit this stuff but its all i got now. and i dont have any binding on my alt the programs transmits all keys to other client. so yah.
If you're 3rd party has a "do-not-pass" or "do-not-broadcast" option, add the keys you don't want cloned to those lists.
Otherwise, like the other poster said, unbind the movement keys for the other accounts in WoW. Press Esc to bring up the menu, select Key-Bindings, and it's in the first set of keys there.
Thank you very much and i understand what poster above now said lol new to this. Is there any programs u reccomend other then one im using now
you move with your arrow keys?
if so it seems as though your keybinds may end up being a little out of reach. id highly recommend learning to use your wasd keys, but if i misread the original post then ignore this :)
In general, move with the mouse.
Activate abilities via keybinds on the keyboard.
Once you learn your keybinds, you'll be so much stronger this way.
If possible, move with the mouse (both buttons held is run).
Right click to turn and Left click to camera look.
You'll be able to turn so much faster then with the keyboard.
If you're right handed, I'd also include WASD as movement keys.
Either unbind A and D, which are the slow turning keys, which right click does 100x better.
Or... remap strafe to these keys from Q and E, and then rebind other functions to those keys.
I like W as forward still, and on the do-not-pass, so I can move via the keyboard if I need to.
I like S as backwards for all toons, although this is to break follow mostly. Turning sideways and Strafing is a lot better then actually moving backwards.
The arrow keys, I unbind from the main - so the slaves can be moved independently of the main.
More useful for PvE then PvP, because they're still bound for the slaves even if you control one of them, via a PiP swap.
I like to use the left/right, to manually turn the slaves.
A spread out formation could easily be put on forward or backward arrow keys.
Well I just unbinded my move and kept wasd and eveerything is working perfectly now so thank you all.
I'm also using a Mac and CloneKeys and am pretty new to multi-boxing. What I did was use WASD and arrow keys on Main for movement. Then on the slaves, I unbound WASD and QE (strafe keys on Main) and kept arrow keys. CloneKeys isn't perfect and it would be nice to have "Don't transmit" options but its pretty much the only key clone program for the Mac so it is all we've got. I figure it's better to (slightly) adjust how I play rather than to fight a program I can't change.
Maybe we (Mac users) could submit some suggestions to the author of CloneKeys to get some options put in?
