share with you something interesting via HotKeyNet

hey, I've read forum for long time, it's a great forum! And I find HKN is really good software for multi-boxer(although I start with keyclone). here is a little example for HKN, I'd like to share with you all, maybe it's helpful for you.

These days I am interesting with inner-space and I think repeat-region is a great idea, so I think whether I can do it with HKN. I find the feature of HKN: Panel & Button, with it I can do similar work , here is the steps.

This example is for the user of HKN, you will be confused if you don't know it at all, I take 5 PAL team for example.

1) we have 5 toons: toon1, toon2,toon3,toon4,toon5, each toon's wow window id: wow1,wow2,wow3,wow4,wow5
2) for each toon, we have following macro: heal toon1, heal toon2, heal toon3, heal toon4, heal toon5
my example for heal toon1:
#showtooltip
/stopcasting
/cast [target=toon1,exists]heal
3) for each toon, drag the macro in action bar, bind it with hotkey, here is mine:
ctrl+alt+6 heal toon1
ctrl+alt+7 heal toon2
ctrl+alt+8 heal toon3
ctrl+alt+9 heal toon4
ctrl+alt+0 heal toon5
4) in HKN's script, create buttons and panel, assign command to buttons, here is the script:

<Command Create_Panel>

<CreatePictureButton TOON1_L 300 15 "d:\game\HKN\heal.png">
<CreatePictureButton TOON1_M 300 15 "d:\game\HKN\ds.png">
<CreatePictureButton TOON1_R 300 15 "d:\game\HKN\clean.png">

<CreatePictureButton TOON2_L 330 15 "d:\game\HKN\heal.png">
<CreatePictureButton TOON2_M 330 15 "d:\game\HKN\ds.png">
<CreatePictureButton TOON2_R 330 15 "d:\game\HKN\clean.png">

<CreatePictureButton TOON3_L 360 15 "d:\game\HKN\heal.png">
<CreatePictureButton TOON3_M 360 15 "d:\game\HKN\ds.png">
<CreatePictureButton TOON3_R 360 15 "d:\game\HKN\clean.png">

<CreatePictureButton TOON4_L 360 15 "d:\game\HKN\heal.png">
<CreatePictureButton TOON4_M 360 15 "d:\game\HKN\ds.png">
<CreatePictureButton TOON4_R 360 15 "d:\game\HKN\clean.png">

<CreatePictureButton TOON5_L 360 15 "d:\game\HKN\heal.png">
<CreatePictureButton TOON5_M 360 15 "d:\game\HKN\ds.png">
<CreatePictureButton TOON5_R 360 15 "d:\game\HKN\clean.png">

5) after press ctrl+alt+2, you will get an panel with buttons(in attachment), normally I will move the panel near healbot, I will clike the heal button in case one toon is needed to heal. of course, another 2 buttons is used to perform Divine Shield and purge, I didn't input the macros and script, you can do it by yourself.

You can also add more buttons or panels for other job, it depend on your need.

Thanks for reading, I hope it's useful for you.

in order to create panel and button, HKN can't compile correctly for following issue:
example:
<Command f>
<<AddButtonToPanel TOON1_L LeftPanel %1 %2 %1+%3 %2+%4>
So we have to manually generate the script one by one, but it's not easy , I make a simple c script to do it. in script, it need you to input 3 parameters, the width is button's width, the height is button's height, and the interval is the interval between 2 buttons. you can manually modify the (x,y) when CreatePanel in case you want to re-locate the panel's position.

#include "stdio.h"

void main(){

FILE *p;
int w,h,i;
char str[500];

printf("please input width=\n");
scanf("%d",&w);
printf("input height=\n");
scanf("%d",&h);
printf("input interval value\n");
scanf("%d",&i);

p=fopen("_test.txt","w+");
if(p==NULL){
printf("error to open file\n");
return;
}

/*/<X, Y, WIDTH, HEIGHT, INTERVAL>
// 0 0 %3 %4 %3+%5 0 %3 %4 %3*2+%5*2 0 %3 %4

//0 %4+%5 %3 %4 %3+%5 %4+%5 %3 %4 %3*2+%5*2 %4+%5 %3 %4
