Your mouse can only be in one place at a time...and you're boxing on 1 machine + many monitors I don't THINK there's any way to pass something like that + lag and inaccuracy would make the alts' turn not match and they'd de-synch. I could be wrong but even if there IS a way, they would still de-synch, same as moving with wsad instead of /follow; you have to get used to turning them by walking around them with your Leader.
Eteocles is correct... there is no proper way to have the mouse replicated on the same machine, without bouncing the screens all over the place (due to focus jumping in order to allow the screen to process the mouse message)
and drag events definitely won't work.
and if your goal is to keep them sync'd so you can drive around using only the mouse... that won't work.
you will need to utilize /follow to get your alts to follow.
personally, for the long hauls... i use /follow to get the alts in line, then numlock for auto-run ... and right-click/drag to steer once in a while. once in an area, i occasionally will spread out my group into a formation... spin and/or strafe.. via the keyboard.
best to get use to it early
Yea just to clarify:
You CAN steer lead char with mouse. Just set all alt characters to /follow Leader. This is pretty much the backbone of Multi-boxing as manually moving all characters is near-impossible to do accurately, or over long runs, due to facing direction issues.
Best solution: /follow Leader on all alts, run/steer with Mouse on Leader's window; alts will follow the leader and you can still steer, s'how I do it =)
