Looking for a few tips on movement and controls

[1Kurgan1]

Just started multiboxing a few minutes ago, made a little progress, but seem to be stuck now.

First off I would like to just run both characters off mouse clicking for spells and such. Is there a way to go about doing this?

Second, I setup the macro to allow my second character to grab quests that my main has, do I need to move to my second characters screen to click this each time and exactly how does this work.

Any help would be fantastic, thanks!

And for movement you have to use slaves on follow. I dont know other software or hardware but no way to make your mouse run on 2 wows with keyclone.

Check These 2 for quest automation.

Ok thanks for the links. Since mouse targeting wont work I'm gonna try and setup some macro's and here is what I got so far.

I start with: Focus Target (my F12)

Then I use:
/target focus
/follow
/assist
/stopcasting

Then I use:
/cast [target=focus, nodead, harm] Auto Shot

And so far what I have gotten when I engage in combat with my warlock is nothing. Am I doing something wrong here? I click these macros before combat and by reading them I assume that this would make the huntard attack whatever the locks target is with just auto shot constantly.

umm the main reason why it aint working is because you need /assist <Name of warlock> without the <> that is. THEN it should work, im new to dual-boxing myself, enjoying the challenge druid/mage combo lvl 9s

ok I have now modified the macro to my warlocks name so it looks like this.

/target focus
/follow yawgamoth
/assist yawgamoth
/stopcasting

It helps because I no longer need to click my lock then hit the macro. But he still does not assist him in anyway. But I am making slow progress

Another thing is, are all these macros made inside WoW? If so what exactly is Keyclone used for? As it sits right now I am using this program for nothing at all except lagging my comp.

You would make fast progress if you took the time to read the Wiki.

I have read through a few wiki's now which is where I got these macro's but it seems they don't have exactly what I am looking for. Like do you have to keey going back to your alt characters and hitting these macro's each time that you want them to attack? Because it seems that way which really I could just do that with 2 monitors and run the 2nd WoW on the 2nd monitor (which I just been doing since I can't get this quiet yet).

I setup the macro's just like said and they did not work, so it might be that I am not doing Keyclone right also, the wiki's for that are very vague that I have seen.

I personally like AutoHotKey, alot more user friendly...and less spyware -.-. Get that program and read the Wiki on that, its beautiful

keyclone is used to send the same key to every window. It can get more complicated than that, but when you start dual boxing, just think of it that way. So for example you could have the 2 key be shadow bolt, if you had 2 warlocks, and if you configure your "DO NOT PASS" correctly in Keyclone, then when you press 2 both warlocks will send shadowbolt. Your Do not Pass (DNP) can either be a list of keys NOT to send, or only the list of keys TO send (most people prefer the 2nd way, check White List).

The whole issue of how do you get your second (3d, etc) account to correctly assist your main, how do you get them to follow, how do you turn when they are facing the wrong way, and a dozen other different things are really seperate from keyclone. Its not crazy difficult, but it is complex and takes a lot of trial and error. Remember, each client only sees its "own" focus, NOT THE OTHER ONES. You should always have a key that quickly gets everyone to /follow your main.

There are tons and tons of solutions to the problems above, and none that are right or wrong - some people embed /assist and /target in each spell cast, some people have a button they mash to set it up and then do their casts, some people use focus, some people use [target=...] which can be named or party1 or focus or targettarget or a ton of different things.

Not trying to confuse you, just saying there are a ton of ways to do it, and you need to spend a good 10-30 hours reading up on forum threads and wikis before you figure out the way that works best for you.

Depending on exactly what you;re doing there's a couple of problems.

If your 'Focus Target' on F12 item means that you have a macro on both toons bound to F12 key that is like this '/focus target' then you've made a mistake in the following macro becasue you can't follow or assist any target other than allied toons

You can use a '/focus WARLOCKNAMEHERE' macro on your hunter that will set his focus to your warlock (you will only need to press this once)

Then the second macro will work fine and you can spam it as often as you like but there's still a problem with the third one:

'/cast [target=focus, nodead, harm] Auto Shot' won't work

'/cast [target=focustarget, nodead, harm] [] Auto Shot' will work - note that the empty brackets are NOT optional, you really need them for reasons I'm not going to explain here
