I'm trying to use PwnBoxer to MultiBox in WoW. Problem is, I play a little differently. I hold down both Left and Right click to move and turn. I'm not sure how exactly I will make this work or if it's possible. I'm sure I could find some program to map the clicks and mouse turning/movement to other buttons, but I'm not sure how effective that will be.
Most people move the slave toons by having them on follow all of the time. Are you playing wow?
Yeah that would kinda work, but I play melee characters in PvP, so I would kinda want them ontop of each other for best results :P.
Broadcasting mouse that way is never accurate and your toons will end up running around the city in individual directions each.
I never boxed melee class but I believe you need Interract With Target -stuff with it if the follow is out of the question.
Yeah look under your keybinds in WoW and find the "Interact with Target" keybind and assign a key to it. You will also need to have "click to move" enabled under mouse or camera settings, forget which.
Not sure how the new Pwnboxer works, havent used it since the new version. But if they dont have auto-assist keys then you will have to have a /assist macro to assist your leader before pressing the IwT keybind.
Pwnboxer has both mouse broadcasting and the equivalent of an IS Boxer "Repeater Region".
There are two broadcast modes, one which works great and one which Tim always tells people to not use; not sure which is which.
The broadcast has a hotkey to enable.
And is on, until you disable it, via the same hotkey.
A Repeater Region is an area of the screen, in which broadcasting is always enabled just by moving your mouse into that area.
And the broadcast is turned off, by moving the mouse out of the area.
This is a great method of healing, over a Grid/Vuhdo/Healbot frame.
As mentioned by others...
Mouse broadcasting movement does not work that well.
Take your entire team and have them follow one toon, in an open area.
Run a long distance with follow.
Then reverse the direction and run a long distance with follow.
Repeat this several times, to improve the stack and have each face almost an identical direction.
Then enable mouse broadcast and move about.
The toons which seemed to be stacked, won't be exactly the same facing even if you were to do the back and forth for an hour.
The further you go with broadcasting, the more out of sync they'll become.
Conversely, you can lead with any toon.
If you're using Pwnboxer, your best method is going to be Focus.
The lead toon is your Focus on all toons.
And everyone follows their Focus (or assists their Focus).
So you can lead with anyone, the others will assist the lead and follow the lead.
For melee toons, you will (after assisting) use your IWT (Interact With Target) keybind, while CTM (Click to Move) is enabled.
IWT is set in Keybinds > Targeting Functions, about a third of the way down.
CTM is enabled/disabled in Interface Options > Mouse Options (you can also toggle this via /console AutoInteract 1 or /console AutoInteract 0.. 1=on and 0=off).
A single press of IWT/CTM, will move toons towards wherever the target was when the hotkey was pressed.
For PvE against most, one press is ideal.
In PvP, if you want the toons to swarm the target, and run about it... similar to a rogue in a duel, spam your IWT key.
Some/Most will swarm about the target, overrun it, run back because of the next pressed "spam" of the IWT.
You'd want the IWT to have two binds; one for everyone on the team (for quests) and one for only the melee toons (for swarming in pvp).
You don't need follow for everyone to be on target.
You'll be better off with moves that can hit from any facing... Shred/Ravage and Backstab/Ambush require you to be in the rear arc; not every toon will be all the time... but Mangle or Mutilate/Sinister Strike can fire off from the front or back.
You could still stealth with follow, use slave only movement to bring the others slightly forward once the lead is in position, and press the Ambush/Ravage keybind...
