Ive been googling for 2 hours now + trying to script it myself. But cant get it to work. How the hell do I script HKN to send
<Hotkey ScrollLockOn shift t>
//IWT
<Toggle>
<SendLabel w1,w2,w3,w4>
<Key k>
I have my shamans spamming LBs when I press Shift + t, and Im trying to get Hotkeynet to send my interact button (which is K) at the same time.
What am I doing wrong?

Do you want HotkeyNet to send both Shift T and K when you press Shift T?Quote:

Code:<Hotkey ScrollLockOn Shift T>
<SendLabel w1,w2,w3,w4>
<Key Shift T>
<Key K>
It's most definitely legal to send two keypresses immediately at the press of one key, as long as there is no delay.
The whole "If I taped a bar across two or more keys it would be just like pressing one button" argument.
I don't agree. If your two sent keypresses perform a combination of actions in any single window that cannot be bound to a single key using WoW's in-game configuration, then they violate Blizzard's rules.Quote:

Are you sure? I would expect that about half of this entire forum would be banned by now if that were true... :DQuote:

I honestly don't see what's different than just spamming both '1' and '2' on my keyboard nonstop with a fat finger, or taping the two keys together.
From what I remember is that Blizzard only cares that each action is a direct and immediate result of a human keypress. Performing two actions from one keypress fits into that category and must be allowed unless they said otherwise recently.
If you can bind that macro to a single key press using WoW's built-in interface, then yes, it's legal to accomplish the same result with third-party software.Quote:

I'm with Akoko, pretty much every boxer with Isboxer that does pve and has a "big" mash button for dps, Uses several macro's under 1 key through ISboxer. So you'd probably have hundreds of people violate the rules if that wasn't allowed.
/click is part of WoW's built-in macro interface.Quote:

You seem to think I disagree with that statement, but in fact that's what I said from the beginning.
My point here is that the converse is also true..
Here's the converse:
If a single physical keystroke can't trigger some particular combination of actions in a single window using WoW's built-in interface, then it's illegal to trigger that particular combination of actions with a hotkey in a single window using third-party software.
Movement isn't a macroable command in game. That includes IWT.
But, HKN can do commands on Keyup and Keydown, so if you want to avoid sending 2 actions that aren't macroable together in game {interact and cast} try defining one on keydown and one on keyup
<Hotkey ScrollLockOn Shift T>
<SendLabel w1,w2,w3,w4>
<Key Shift T>
<Hotkeyup ScrollLockOn Shift T>
<SendLabel w1,w2,w3,w4>
<Key K>
Or build it as a toggle so that first press is LB and the second is IWT
<Hotkey ScrollLockOn Shift T>
<Toggle>
<SendLabel w1,w2,w3,w4>
<Key Shift T>
<Toggle>
<SendLabel w1,w2,w3,w4>
<Key K>
Ty guys, really enjoying that macro! Now another problem has occured, I cant seem to get 4 WoWs on 2 computers up and running. Its says my client is connected, but its not recieving any keystrokes at all.
This is my HKN txt document:

What am I doing wrong? Do I need to have the same script on both computers?
Regards Nikita <3
You only need to load a script on a PC if you press hotkeys with your fingers on that PC's keyboard.
To figure out the source of the problem, you need to look at the messages that HotkeyNet displays when you press a hotkey.
Start with the first messages, the ones that get displayed on the local copy of Hotkeynet when you press a hotkey. The local copy is on the PC where you press the hotkey with your finger.
What do those messages say?

I'm not sure what you're trying to do with your key definitions -
<Hotkey ScrollLockOn A-Z, 0-9, Plus, Minus, F1-F12 except W, A, S, D, Shift AllMainKeys;>
but "Shift AllMainKeys" isn't a key you can define. If you are trying to add another list of keys, it should be
<Hotkey ScrollLockOn A-Z, 0-9, Plus, Minus, F1-F12 except W, A, S, D; Shift AllMainKeys>
However, I'm not sure if that's what you're looking to do. If you are trying to define a set of keys that works with and without sift or other modifiers, I usually just create a list
<Keylist WoWKeys A-Z, 0-9, Plus, Minus, F1-F12 except W, A, S, D>
Then define the hotkey to respond with whatever modifiers
<Hotkey ScrollLockOn WoWKeys; ScrollLockOn Shift WoWKeys; ScrollLockOn Alt WoWKeys; ScrollLockOn Ctrl WoWKeys>
But I probably do it assbackwards and Freddie probably has better ideas.
Nope. I was hoping you'd answer this one and I can't think of anything to add. :)Quote:

Tried to implement Khatovar`s key setup, but didnt help either.
What I want to do is use ScrollLockOn/Off as a button to turn on and off keystroke sending to my wow toons.
And I want to use A-Z, 0-9, F1-F12 except W, A, S, D
And I want to use shift + 0-9, and shift + A-Z

<Hotkey Oem3 LButton>
<SendWinM wow1>
<ClickMouse LButton>
<SendWinM wow2>
<ClickMouse LButton>
<SendWinM wow3>
<ClickMouse LButton>
<SendWinM wow4>
<ClickMouse LButton>
I have healing rain keybinded to "Z". So what I want to be able to do is this:
Press "Z"
Hold down Oem3, Left Click with mouse where I want to put down the healing rain. Voilà!
I run 4 wows on 2 computers, I tried this one aswell:
<Hotkey Oem3 LButton>
<SendWinM wow1>
<ClickMouse LButton>
<SendWinM wow2>
<ClickMouse LButton>
<SendPC 192.168.10.100 wow3>
<ClickMouse LButton>
<SendPC 192.168.10.100 wow4>
<ClickMouse LButton>
http://www.dual-boxing.com/showpost....4&postcount=11
My AOE heals look like this
You're sending your commands to window names {wow1-wow4} instead of to the labels {w1-w4}. Use the labels.Code:<Hotkey F3>
<SendLabel w1, w2, w3, w4>
<Key F3>
<Hotkeyup F3>
<SendLabel w1, w2, w3, w4>
<Clickmouse LButton>
<RestoreMousePos>
If you want the broadcasting separated, then don't define it again. You already have the OEM3 set up in your key definitions
You should just have to press Z, hold OEM3, click your mouse and release the OEM3 key.Code://-----------------------------------------------------------
// BROADCAST MOUSE CLICKS. HOLD DOWN OEM3 (ON U.S. KEYBOARDS,
// THAT'S THE SQUIGGLE KEY IN UPPPER LEFT CORNER) WHEN YOU

<UseKeyAsModifier Oem3>
<Hotkey ScrollLockOn Oem3 LButton, MButton, RButton, Button4, Button5>
<SendLabel w1, w2, w3, w4>

Just copied yours :) and its working! Ty again, this is the best community ever.
