How to use Targetable AoE's multiboxing with in game macro's (no addons or programs needed)!

[king.pa]

hmm, the aoe would be cast on each toon each time I hit the "aoe" key after I pressed the spot1 key ... it could be done in a 1/2 sec or less, no automation : just hit the keybinding for the aoe, at the same time AHK move the mouse to were you asked by choosing a x,y spot, then again, the keybinding for the second spot... no timing, no automation... could be perfectly safe !!

I guess we kinda mean the same but you say click/press at the same time. That's what was confusing me(I guess it's a bad sentence XD).

I thought you meant it going every 0,1 sec to the next spot what would be automation, If have to click (as we both said kinda xD) it's not.

I guess this would work, because you have 1 action per click. Only question left: Is mousemovement allowed to be on a keypress? I hope otherwise I could get banned for playing with Gamepad^^ so i think it works.

Well, even if i cant get this to work, i've pulled something positive out of this thread, that being

"/script SetView(4);SetView(4)"

which i've now added to all my slave follow macros \o/

i remember this from another thread. is this different?

I used a similar method last year to accept quests from an NPC
Good job Ellay!

I'm a little confused and I apologize for being dense.

I'm trying to understand exactly how to this is supposed to work. I understand that I'm creating a keybind that will make the ";" the equivilent of a left mouse click. I understand that it saves the binding into a file. What I'm having some difficulty with, is understanding exactly what this means:

[/quote]To explain the view pieces, they run from 1 through 5 and you can actually save to a viewing you like, it just positions your camera in that location so you don't need to worry about how your facing. The second entry of setview moves your camera to that position instantly instead of moving to that angle.[/quote]

Does this mean that there are 5 specific camera views or that there are 5 specific user defined camera views? What exactly does Setview(4) mean? How exactly do I save the camera view?

The reason I ask, is that I'm using 2 Dks and I would like to use DnD as a PBAoE ability so that I can trigger them at the same time. Currently I can't use both DnDs.

Original post was by myself but blizzard changed the binding for it :P

To Ellay's original post, I follow the whole thing up to "I have mine setup so my cursor stays on top of my characters so when I press it, it throws it down right on top of me."

When I do this, it moves the camera, but the mouse is still all over the place...are there any suggestions other than trying to keep the mouse centered on my toons? Is there a macro that will recenter the mouse?

I am actually using 5 computers and I do have a wireless mouse setup, it is just I'd love to be able to hit a button and have them AOE on top of themselves, and another for like 30 yards out...

AFAIK, there is no way to move the mouse with in-game macros, so the only method of getting the 30-yard out AE that you described without using software would be to keep the mouse pointer exactly where you want it and leave it there.

For point blank range though, there is another solution. You can save your own camera angle. What I do is a save a camera angle that is zoomed all the way in and pointing down at the ground. Therefore, the mouse pointer, wherever it may be, will result in the center of the AE spell being within a couple yards of the character. The hitch to this method is that for some stupid reason, even though you can save custom camera angles easily through normal in-game functions, it is apparantly impossible to save those custom camera angles across sessions. So as soon as you log out, you lose it. So I've resorted to quickly zooming in the camera on all my toons, saving the angle with a set keybinding, and then everything is peachy for that particular play session. It's kind of annoying, but only takes a few seconds every time I log in. The default camera angles don't seem to be zoomed in enough to safely use for point blank AE.

If anyone has found any way to save custom camera angles so they stay even when you log out, I'd love to hear it.

Care to share your macro here?

I presume the camera settings are set in some text file. I'm at work and can't test it, but could you write a batch file to copy in a version of that config file with proper camera settings before running WoW? When I was using Keyclone, I handled different groups' different FTL setups by running batch files that copied the appropriate .ini files over keyclone.ini, started Keyclone and then started WoW. It seems to me that if you could only get that one config to save on logout, or if someone could figure out the format and just write something by hand, you'd be able to automatically copy it in and would be set from then on.
