Spread Out Macros / Formations

Sorry if I sounded like a nob I did have a search myself and couldn't find it :)
This is what I do and is copied from a previous post. You need 3 keys. Assuming char 1 is the main btw.

Key1. char 2 strafe L/char 3 strafe L/char 4 strafe R/char 5 strafe R
Key2. char 3 strafe R/ char 5 strafe L
Key3. char 2 strafe R/char 4 strafe L

Very very interesting. I like it!

OK now on to another question - if I use a mod like Bongos2, I can give a paticular button more than the default 2 sets of keys. IE in Keybindings everything can have a primary key and secondary key associated. With Bongs2 you could bind Shadowbolt to your whole keyboard if you really wanted.

Anybody know a way to have unlimited keys bound to up down strafe left strafe right. Otherwise if I want to have 4 different formations AND still let my toons have the arrow keys to move, I can really only have one formation as I only get to use one lot of 'secondary keys'.

Any thoughts?

Here's my setup, what i've used from level 1

I assigned ~ as my formation key

Player A = Up
Player B = Down
Player C = Left straf
Player D = Right Staf
Player Z = Nothing

My formation is a diamond is Player Z almost in the middle. I normally do it while Player Z is out in front so it's often in front of all of them.

Player Z is towards the middle since it spread out from Z player. It's not a perfect formation but does kinda give a line effect. I know what your after. You want a Perfectly straight line like Xbox's setup?

I read some where on the forums how to do it. I like the /walk idea. That just might do it. GL =)

The one key would be a programmable key on your Xkeys, G15, etc.

You can do it the way Ticks described earlier in this thread.

Or program an Xkey to repeat and record it to do both presses on the keyboard for strafe left and forward/backward depending if you want to go diag forward from current spot or backward.

Old thread, but great information.

Now, its great about the line setup. However, since I will be 3 boxing. Could anyone possibly enlighten me on how to set it up more like this..

Now, normally if character A is your main, your characters will end up in this formation when you stop moving (where B&C are on top of each other)
.......A
......BC

Bind a key for B character to "strafe left"
Bind the same key for C character to "strafe right"
Unbind the key on character A since, if B and C are on follow A will always be in front.

Leaving you with:
.......A
...B......C

is there anyway to create formations without x-keys?

x-keys = additional keys


it doesn't matter where you bind the movement keys to.
I've used the pageup and pagedown keys for formations.

Open the Warcraft Keyconfiguration: (ESC, Keysettings)

PageUp-Key:
CharA: nothing
CharB: strafe left / sidestep left
CharC: strafe right / sidestep right

PageDown-Key:
CharA: nothing
CharB: strafe right / sidestep right
CharC: strafe left / sidestep left

now press and hold the Pageup or pagedown key.

A quick manipulation of the script turns it into a line ;D
