Can't get MovementHotkey to work in WoW

What I'm using currently:

Code:

---

//-----------------------------------------------------------
// DEFINE HOTKEYS FOR ALL KEY COMBINATIONS THAT WILL GET
// SENT TO BOTH WOWS. ADD MORE KEY COMBO'S IF YOU WANT.
//-----------------------------------------------------------
<Hotkey A-Z, 0-9, Plus, Minus, F1-F12 except W, A, S, D, Q, E>
<SendLabel w1, w2>
<Key %Trigger%>

//-----------------------------------------------------------
// DEFINE MOVEMENT KEYS THAT WILL GET SENT TO BOTH WOW'S.
// ADD MORE KEYS IF YOU WANT.
//-----------------------------------------------------------
<MovementHotkey W, A, S, D>
<SendLabel w1, w2>
<Key %Trigger%>

---

The hotkeys in the first section (regular, non-movement) work fine. I can't get MovementHotkey to work at all, WASD won't even move either character whatsoever. I can move them with WASD if I take out that section.

Sadly support for HKN is not as readily available as it previously has been. I'll take a stab at this though.

Umm... I can't seem to spot anything obviously wrong with that portion of the script. Which Sendmode are you using with those keys? According to the hotkeynet site, you should be using SendWinM for movement keys. Also, is HKN giving you any errors when you load the script? Do the movement keys show up as Loaded Hotkeys?

On a side note: Can I ask why you're setting your movement keys to always be sent to all clients? This is generall not how you move around while multiboxing WoW. In most cases you would have your toons /following your lead, which you control normally with WASD. Always sending your movement keys makes utilizing /follow basically impossible unless you move with your mouse. Not trying to nitpick if this is the case, just making sure I understand how you're trying to set this up.

Also, you've removed the ScrollLockOn from both definitions. While this is fine in itself as far as I understand, it does mean that you have no way of toggling the hotkeys on/off, if you wish to, for example, type in chat or search for something on the AH. Both toons will be receiving each keystroke, most likely opening a bunch of ingame menu windows, casting spells and shuffling about while you type.

Okay, so I went ahead and got HKN again so I could actually test this out.

Here is the exact script I am using. Just an example script for 2 WoWs, with WASD moved to movement keys. Should be near identical to yours, apart from having the ScrollLockOn toggle added and my game directory:

Code:

//================================================================
// SAMPLE SCRIPT FOR TWO WOW'S ON ONE PC
//
// Instructions: Copy this entire script (all the blue writing
// on gray background including comments). Save it in a file.
// Load it into HotkeyNet.
//
// Toggle the scroll lock key to turn hotkeys off and on. (You
// can change this if you want, just like you can change
// everything else with HotkeyNet.)
//
// Requires HotkeyNet build 147 or higher.

This is functioning just fine for me. Both characters respond to WASD while Scroll Lock is on as seen here. I even replaced my definitions with the ones from your post and it was still functional (apart from not being able to turn the keys off naturally).

This does leave me wondering what is wrong then. Perhaps try copying my script and see if that functions for you? That way we'll atleast know whether it's a problem in your script or somewhere else.

Try this to see if this works? It works for me just fine.
