No, you should be manually pressing the key that has the follow macro on it on your slave account. Clicking is generally not used for activating spells, abilities or macros. Clicking is usually restricted to actions like dropping AOE Reticules, using portals and the like.

Really, we can guess all we want about what's going on, but you aren't really providing enough information to troubleshoot with. The problem could lie anywhere between your HotKeyNet script to your macro.

1. Post your script, masking any personal information {passwords, account IDs}.
2. Post your macros exactly as they are written in the game.
3. Post what HotKeyNet says when you press the key you are trying to use to get your slave to activate the macro. It is the big window in HotKeyNet that says "Actions on this PC." Ensure that the "Show" box is checked.

When posting, be sure to wrap each step in code tags [ code][/ code] so it is easier to read {remove the spaces between the brackets}. Also, please do not spam responses. There is a multiquote option at the bottom of every post right next to the "Reply with Quote" button. It looks like a Chat Bubble with Quotes in it next to a Plus sign.

So all I need to know is if I put the assist macro that EatCrabs posted on my "slaves" action bar in for say hotkey slot 5 and click five in my master window after attacking so that my "slave" will target the "master's" target?

srry one more post just to let you know..no worries I got the macro. It was kind of what I was trying to ask the whole time. So for anyone else wondering how do I do a assist macro all you have to do is put the /assist party1 macro on a hotkey that casts a spell on your "master"

That's explained in the Newbie's Guide in post 4.
