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

[Evilseed]

Or boardcasting wireless mice (hardware).

Years ago I had a simple program that would move the cursor to center screen with a hotkey or after "x" amount of seconds. For the life of me I can't remember the name of the program, or where I got it.

Yea I've used some of those I found on google for other purposes (mostly work related stuff in the past). I personally would stay far away from those "after X amount of seconds" as that doesn't fit along with Blizzard's policy of automation including the ability to set delays.

Sounds like a laptop utility. Anyway, you could probably do that in about [url='http://www.vb6.us/tutorials/move-mouse-api']ten lines of Visual Basic[/url] .

I originally wanted to use such a program to recenter the mouse on all screens - then grab my broadcasted mouse and go to town. Just a quick way to set a uniform starting location.

My screens are not all the same size, so the broadcasted mouse is wonky at best.

Fursphere maybe we should talk then. Tell me exactly what would work for you and I will see about getting it coded into MC.

Oh, and Java's Robot.mouseMove(x,y) will do it too. Set that up with a key listener and you've got yourself a way to center your mouse with a key press.

HotkeyNet can scale the broadcast mouse position to different screen sizes and/or different window sizes. Maybe other programs do the same thing, I don't know.

One of the many macro threads on how to do this should be stickied, since it seems to come up so much. That and a Wiki page added. Is that done being moved yet?

While since I rolled Death Knights for fun, I simply had to figure out a way to utilize AoE's that you have to click to target

Basically you may have to switch your format up a bit, since mine is kind of funky and someone can hopefully make this cleaner.

First things first.

decide which key on your keyboard you want to act as a left mouse click. I choose something I usually don't type in which is " ; "

/script SetBinding(";", "CAMERAORSELECTORMOVE")

Now copy/paste that into WoW while in the game
Do the same for this line as well

/script SaveBindings(1)

There now you've bound your left click mouse to the " ; " key. (The Left Click on your mouse button still does the same thing don't worry!!)
If you ever want to remove this functionality - > /wow/WTF/<accname>/bindings-cache.wtf and remove the entry.

Next step make a macro such as this

/script SetView(4);SetView(4) 
/cast Death and Decay

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.
Bind that to a key and simply push the button then press ;
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.
The cleaner part of this is that I use F9 for the hotkey on my action bar macro, and my n52 has the ; key bound as well, so I push then 1 after the other, or together and poof you've got a targetable AoE without moving to that screen and clicking.

Hope this helps.

followed this, but i dont understand how/where my mouse button gets bound to ";"

/script SetBinding(";", "CAMERAORSELECTORMOVE")

- doesnt do it, that just binds a view right?

confused :>

As I read : Predefined Mousemovement (set to x,y) isn't allowed.

the issue here is when we are software boxing... when my cursor goes over a windows, and when I move the mouse to another window, the mouse pointer is very often on the edge of each wow window...

The best way to get the cursor at a precise x,y spot could be a script (or anything else) that moves the cursor itself from a location to another instantly .. each 0,1 sec the cursor would be placed on a specific spot on each wow window, then jump to another specific spot... this way each window would have the mouse in its center instead of its edge

no mouse movment, but a mouse jump .. I don't know if I'm understandable telling this ... but imagine that you switch your mouse from the wow1 windows to the wow2 windows at your maximum sliding speed ... the cursor could stay in the middle of the wow1 window, while you already can be at the middle of the second wow window ...

this piece of software wont be clicking or doing something illegal .. just shifting the mouse pointer from a position to another without any trail done almost instantly !!!
tac tac tac tac (0,4sec) ... the mouse centered (or wherever you can want to clic) itself into each wow window.. and you just have to cast your ground aoe spell and press the left clic binding to get it done !!! and this could be allowed because that's just a mouse positioning.

btw isn't it already doable with AutoHotKey ?

[Shaitan256]

I guess it's doable but if it comes to Timing things this counts as not legit again.

What could be done is something like this (just a thought)

press key the mouse is going to a defined spot (1 action per click) then click so I guess it's legit. Than do it this way: the mouse jumps (like you said) to next windows but after a click then click mouse again would be like, "Defined Mousemove Button" DMB, click, DMB, click DMB, click, DMB, click and so on could be done in under a second. If you understand what I mean.
