Leaderless setup with HotKeyNet

[Freddie]

I'm not sure how well I have explained all of this...

Holy smokes, Anemo, you did a phenomenal job! Thanks so much! I'm really blown away by the amount of work you did and how excellent it is.

HotkeyNet is almost finished but one of the things I need to do before the beta ends is improve its ability to send ctrl, alt, and shift to WoW when it's in a background window. That may affect this kind of script, so if anyone has problems, please let me know and I'll try to finish this last bit of work right away.

..another great thing, which should be possible with this (and not with keyclone) is to differentiate between ingoing and outgoing hotstrings

I'm not sure about the terminology, but with HotkeyNet, the trigger (the keys you press with your fingers) and the resulting action (in this case, keystrokes that get sent to WoW) are completely independent. They can be the same or different -- it's up to you. And the action can be any sort of action or combination of actions or conditionally executed actions, not just sending keystrokes. This is a general-purpose program, not just a multiboxing program, so you can tell it to do a lot of different things.

..Are the %1% and %2% variables of the assist command (like in a batchfile)?

They are very much like variables in a function call, and you can think of them that way. (But the values of these variables are always a piece of text that you wrote in your script, so really they are text-substitution macros.)

- if this is the case, its so much beauty, that i have to try it

I'm glad to hear it strikes you that way. During the course of HotkeyNet's beta test, as the program grew, I tried to keep the script language simple but powerful. Sometimes I think I tried too hard to hide the program's complexity from the user, which paradoxically can make things harder, but I guess it's normal to look back when a project is almost finished and feel doubtful about some of the decisions that got made.
