Dire need of help

hey guys I have read the stickies for hours but cannot comprehend the meanings and how to do it. I have only managed to do the group invite accept and that works, the follow and assit / attack target does not work.

These are the 3 test toons

3 mages

Namzone - Main

Namztwo - slave

Namzthree - slave

after invites and accepting I want my slaves to follow my main and whatever my main targets I want them to target as well, nice and simple.

Also, if I put fireball for all of them on action bar button 1, I want all of them to cast it. As for quests ect and accepting I can handle to do this 1 by one, its just the combat that I cannot figure out

So I want to make their action bars the same pretty much so whatever my main casts, so do they. CC ect I will worry about later.

Also, after I get these guys going I want to start the 5 and do the same thing.



Help would be great, cheers.

You're going to have a hard time getting an answer when you frame your question in this way. You're essentially asking the community here to tell you how to multibox without using the explanations that have already been written for the wiki and stickies. There probably won't be a lot of takers; the wiki and sticky threads are, for the most part, the clearest information we have.

Can we focus on trying to solve one problem at a time? Let's try to get your follow problem worked out first.

What sort of setup are you using? Do you use one machine or more than one? How are you broadcasting keys to your WoW windows? Or are you an alt-tabber? What addons do you use? Have you tried writing macros?

Give us some more background and I'm sure we'll get you on the right track in no time.

yeah np, I stated in the post I am finding it hard to comprehend the tutorials.

I'm using 1 pc

2.4 gig quad core

500 gig HD

4gig ram

2x 9800gtx

I am using keyclone windowed mode



I basically need to know what and where to put a macro that I press so all my toons attack the same target when I press it on my main

http://www.dual-boxing.com/wiki/index.php/Macros

I'm in a boring meeting, so here comes some free help...

The simplest way to get started is to create a macro on your two followers like this:

/target namzone
/follow

Now drag that macro to your bar. Anytime you want them to follow your main, hit the key corresponding to your follow macro.

To get a quick and dirty targeting macro for spellcasting, create a macro for assisting your main like this:

/target namzone
/assist

Again do this on both your followers and put it on your bar somewhere. Now when you target a mob with your main, hit the assist macro, then hit the key to cast your fireball.

There you have it, following and assisting as easy as it gets.

ty so much Drakkun I have 4 locks and a priest, 1 of the locks are my main, the other 3 follow and assist and attack with me but the priest is not attacking or assisting, I might try your method

I'd go with Focus macros:

Follow macro:

/follow focus

Set Focus Macros, and since you are using one PC this will make it easy to change main with 1 Keystroke

/focus Namzone - Hotkey to F10
/focus Namztwo - Hotkey to F11
/focus Namzthree - Hotkey to F12

You can put this in a macro with mod condidtions, but lets keep it simple for now.

Targeting Macro:

#showtooltip Fireball
/cast [target=focustarget,harm,nodead] Fireball - Hotkey to whatever.


These macros lets you start your killing spree :)

Hope this helps you out a bit

that is actually really good cause my main died and I was stumped pressing everything, this should really help alot! I have got the basic macros down and we are rollin'



thanks very much people

also i have a g15 keyboard so I'm going to map some key for all to heal 1 toon



should I do it like

/cast healing wave toon1



ect?

I would still use Focus

#showtooltip Healing Wave
/cast [target=focustargettarget,help,nodead,exists] Healing Wave; [target=focustarget,help,nodead,exists] Healing Wave; [target=focus,help,nodead,exists] Healing Wave

or you could use

/target toon1
/cast Healing Wave
/cleartarget

/target toon2
/cast Healing Wave
/cleartarget

/target toon3
/cast Healing Wave
/cleartarget

And hot key them to F1-F3, or whatever you like.
With these 2 macros you have the option to have heal focus, or focus target, and heal each toon in situations where Focus isn't fast enough.

Exactly how much real research was done?? Nothing that has been posted in this thread is anymore "dumbed down" than the entire contents of the Wiki and the available stickies?

I think focus in healing situations would not be the best for me as /tareget toon 1 would be the better option, that way whoever has mana would heal.

I think I have all the basic macros down, So I'm thinking about making 5 different toons with a pally tank and the rest ranged, that way you can get the best out of the group. With that I would certainly run out of room on the action bars and the difficulty would sky rocket, but I am confident :D



cheers

ok I'm going even easier with 5 locks (shammies are boring)

for the pet attack to assist focus target

"#showtooltip Fireball
/cast [target=focustarget,harm,nodead] Fireball - Hotkey to whatever.
"

what do i change here?

OMG!

Are you serious? You want me to level your toons for you as well?

I looked b4 all I saw was pet/wand thats why I asked sheesh...

/assist focus
/cast [modifier:alt] summon voidwalker
/stopmacro [noharm]
/petattack
Comments

/petattack supports macro options so this could be rewritten without the /stopmacro line e.g.
/cast [modifier:alt] summon voidwalker
/petattack [target=focustarget,harm]

is different to

"#showtooltip Fireball
/cast [target=focustarget,harm,nodead] Fireball - Hotkey to whatever.


this is why I asked, now I don't see the problem why I asked this? Please, if you cannot help me don't reply. Restrain yourself from pressing that 'reply' button.

All I want to know here is how to change it to the pet attack cmd

Ah, a specific question! Now we're getting somewhere. To answer that, I've had no luck getting [options] to function properly with /petattack. Granted, I only tried it for a few minutes before giving up. Which is why I just use the basic /assist /stopmacro [noharm] /petattack macro.

I guess I could go the long way and do



/assist focus

and then bind a pet attack key for all

(toon1)
/assist focus
/castsequense petattack,,,
(toon2)
/assist focus
/castsequense ,petattack,,
(toon3)
/assist focus
/castsequense ,,petattack,
(toon4)
/assist focus
/castsequense ,,,petattack

Not 100% if this works but, if it do. The first time you hit the butten toon1's pet will attack then second press toon2's pet will attack so on so far ;) hope this helps

Dusting off shoulder / Being a lazy ass - take your pick.

also for buffs do I do this to buff my whole party

/cast [target=focustarget,harm,nodead] Ariticial intelligence

and just change focus so I press it 5 times? this would be good but is there a 1 press soloution to this?



cheers

Are you actually even trying to do any of this on your own?

Artifical intelligence? It makes your party members a NPC?

Oh no, don't get me wrong, it's not just you. I pretty much will crawl up the ass of anyone who doesn't do their own research and comes here wanting to be hand held. Don't think you're special, you're not the first lazy fuck to show up here. It's not original.

Zz's not stalking you...don't flatter yourself. Everything he's said has merit. Reading this thread, it seems you're really not trying very hard to find any of this information yourself. I was able to go from "Ohhh @ a video"...to google finding this website...and up and running without making any "omg i need help" posts at all.

The information is there. You just have to look.

Good luck.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume for a second you haven't spent much time macroing. I don't mean that as an offence, simply an observation.

Most players here have spent a lot of time tweaking every aspect of their game and have learnt how to use them and work around their limitations. I remember when I first started I didn't understand a word! :P

If I could suggest something.

Start a fresh topic in the newb section.
Whist the title "macros and addons" for this forum may be misleading, it is primarily used (or should be used) for advanced macro discussion.
the newb area has most of what you asked about already in the first few stickeys and will provide you with a flame freer forums to ask questions in.

to get you started on the principles of macroing I refer you to this guide (from which I learnt most of it myself). It should explain all the basics, with regards to commands, conditions etc and in which order to place them in order to get the desired effect.

well I have problems comprehending things thats why I ask questions about it yet get blasted for doing so. 50% of the macros I did by myself following the basic setup, my toons are now the way I want them but will upgrade the macros in the near future



I have searched threads, not every single one but I have searched. it seems alot of you here are unhelpfull, spitefull & arrogant.

Sounds like it's time to dedicate yourself to some personal improvement in the area of Macro Comprehension 101... it aint that hard, spend the time perusing the various posts around the internet and I'm fairly sure you'll increase your knowledge 5 fold in a few hours... yes HOURS... that's what it'll take.

Don't post if you even have an INKLING of a feeling that it might be a question about a simple problem. It probably is. You'll probably find the answer about 120 seconds after you click "Submit".

I had 4 shammies to 65 before I had 60 posts on this forum.

You're still banging on the door of handling assists. Do the math.

Am I an ass? Yes.

Are we arrogant? Rightly so.

Unhelpful? We give when we see people trying.

Spiteful? If you're being stupid.. you've earned it.

Are you failing to research? Yes.

Hence my tenacity.

lol tenacity.

you must have been picked on at school so

I'm sure small children and animals are scared of such a brave forum warrior like urself.

I think you got off to a bad start overall here.

I don't think anyone realised that you actually have problems comprehending things - it just came across that you were lazy. That being the case, I think Deceased's suggestion of a fresh start in a fresh thread, clean slate, is a good one.

Once they (we) understand that you have major problems with reading comprehension, people will be alot more sympathetic towards you and I'm pretty sure you'll find somebody in your timezone who's willing to jump on TS/Vent to get you up and running and solve problems with you.

OK........I like to help people.

The only requisite for ME to help someone is if they look like they HONESTLY NEED HELP.
I will defend you to the death (IF YOU NEED HELP) ....but sadly what prevented me from doing that is not only your attitude, (Doesn't help that your Avatar is of some anonymous retarded FOTM RAPPER either) it's your whole
"Public Education Attitude of...I'm entitled to this because My School taught me that I cannot LOSE" When in fact you're WAY beyond the "lose" (YES "LOSE" not "LOOSE")
point of the minimal education that you so apparently have been deprived of.

I feel that you're a troll, one that has probably oozed over here from the WOW forums.

You also need to take a look at the entire concept of that "Thug" or "Thuggery" that you throw around.

My friends Daughter is 13, she has a myspace page, (Along with her friends) and they ALL claim to be (no shit) "Straight up thuggin!"

This is how SILLY this shit called "RAP" has gotten, when a bunch of Seventh-Graders are on the Internet claiming to be "Straight-up-Thuggin"

In a way I THANK the Internet, for showing how this STUPID "thuggin" lifestyle is just so damn retarded.

But yes........Considering your Username of "Kalishnikov", your Avatar....etc........yea........you're a troll

Apparently...despite all of the BLUE POSTS, you felt the need to come here and start shit?

Get over it..........For now Multiboxing is cool...............it COULD change........(after what I learned Today about what used to be allowed in Macros)

But PLEASE.........Don't try and bring your Myopic Views here.....

Also.....if you want RESPECT on "TEH INTARNETZ" spend the time to learn the difference between YOU"RE and YOUR, instead of typing UR.
Because at this point "FOR YOU" UR is interchangeable with "YOU ARE" and "YOU'RE" Unfortunately for you, is that you have NO CLUE whether YOU'RE using UR correctly.....

Yet ANOTHER SAD product of the U.S. Education (LOL) system.....................

I solved most of the problems with macros from the last page, the stalker/e-thug kept on going with it, thats why its 2 pages long :/

but yes, I have solved alot of macro problems I had days ago and my 5 box is going smooth.
