My characters wont walk together

[CaptainJack]

hi im fairly new at dual boxing and ive been testing it on 2 mages, the problem is whenever i moved them both together, even though they are directly ontop of eachother and facing the same way to begin with, they seem to moved in different directions and one of them goes faster than the other, and they keep switching.

any help?

i dont have them on follow because it takes too long for them to stop when i stop and start running when i start running, i have to wait 3 seconds before i cant start casting

U cannot move them together due to camera angles and very small difference in the direction they walk, u need to use follow otherwise u just CANNOT multibox

I'm having a similar problem, and tried a few times with /follow until I realised that the keystroke broadcaster (Multibox) was taking over the travel commands and so canceling the follow command. Haven't quite worked out how to fix this yet but it'll probably involve some intense macro-writing along the lines of target the main, assist cast, etc for all of the command buttons..... which is going to be quite a pain in the......

oh, I'm trialing it with 2 pc's but if there's freeware available to just use my computer that'll probably be alot easier for me since I have 2 monitors, Vista 64, AMDx2 4800, 4gb Ram, GeForce 8600 GT... and my GF's computer has a hamster in a wheel and a 4year old trying to draw the images on screen.

Most programs will have a Do not Pass list. add the buttons u use for movement to that. That will prevent it from sending the movement keystrokes to the slaves

I think the important thing to remember is that you have two columns of keybindings in wow.

So both characters might have [`] to [backspace] bound to the same 'basic' things (so for example [1] bound to 'lets frost bolt the same guy') On a very basic setup it might look like this: MageA this is "/cast frost bolt" and MageB "/cast [target=focustarget] fost bolt".

On both characters you might have [F] set to "follow me" which on MageA would be set to "unbound" (and thus ignored) and MageB this would be set to "/follow focus".

Writing some lua that redirects Error Panels to your main characters chat panel from the slaves comes in handy (to capture bad facing, no mana, cannopt do that yet, etc).
