Newbie - I'm a clicker not a keyer - set up and TOS Q

[Smoooth]

Wow I didn't even know hotkeynet could do that and it's what I use. I'm going to have to look into it and spend this weekend making buttons for all my junk like food tables and ports and all kinds of other stuff I dont even use just because it's an inconvenience.

[Jubber]

On the hotkeynet forums there is a user that has posted a great tutorial on how to set this up. I wasn't sure if I could link it here.

I tried this code to make my 2nd char jump:

<Hotkey ScrollLockOn Lbutton>
	<If MouseIsOverWindowRect WoW1 296 1078 50 50>
	<SendLabel w2>
	<Key Space>

It works BUT now it seems left clicking only works while clicking on that particlar screen area and don't respond at all to other left clicks ingame.
How do I please fix this?

If you want to click things, it sounds like there are good options with HKN.
Honestly, keybinds are far superior as far as pvp or fast reactions go.

It takes a while to learn keybinds, but if you want to do so, you'll get there.
Basically take something you click now, give it a keybind and play normally for a session.
Next session add another keybind to something you used to click.
The process will be gradual, but you'll learn them.

Ultimately using the mouse to select targets, mouse view the area (left click) and move the main (two buttons pressed and steering)...
Combined with keybinds you can reach with the other hand... in my case right on the mouse, left on the keyboard...
- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
- Q, W, E, R, T
- A, S, D, F, G
- Z, X, C, V, B
- Left Alt (Via Left Thumb), Left Shift/Control (via Left Pinky)
That is a lot of keybinds, that are very fast to reach and can after a while be used instinctively.

Personally I've unbound movement from all but W on the main.
I still use Q and E to strafe if I need to.
These don't pass to the slaves.
It's faster to Strafe then move backwards, so I can strafe and change my angle with the mouse easily.
The arrow keys are unbound from the main, but allow the slaves to move independently of the master.

Everyone has their own system that works for them.
If you're willing to force yourself to keybinds, you'll suck initially.
With practice, you'll get develop far quicker reflexes and be a much stronger player.
Whether that is one-boxing or multi-boxing.
If clicking everything is what makes the game most fun to play, by all means click away.

What are you trying to accomplish with multiboxing? I don't think you're going to have any fun if you're not willing to use keybindings.

I would also suggest trying to learn how to use keys instead of clicks, I find things a lot quicker now that I use keys for my main spells rather than clicking (I also find it much better for healing as I can use mouseover macros). I still click quick a lot of buttons, but all of my main attacks/heals are keybound (and of course everything for multi-boxing).

I started off by just using my main spell keybindings (i.e. 1=wand, 2=frostbolt, 3=ice lance and so on), once I got comfortable with those I've been able to add in modifiers as well to keep things within easy reach as I'm not well coordinated so having to move my fingers any distance and still hit the right key is probably a no-go. For my priest I have several spells on the same easy to reach key, for example 4 is Shadow Word: Pain (no mod), Devouring Plague (ctrl) and Shadow Word: Death (alt). I'd like to learn to have more keybindings though, but I think it's a slow process to learn as you get used to where things are bound to, in my opinion a worthwhile one though.

As far as I know whisper casting was removed quite a while ago, I'm not sure if you can use it for emotes (addons that can parrot chat might be able to have this functionality), but I'd imagine anything which lets you use this to cast spells is going to be against the TOS.

[valle2000]

I use clicking only and I love it. I know keys are needed if top priority is effectiveness, but I personally don’t care about that. (I also have a muscular weakness which makes my left arm more or less useless).

That is why I started with box-play, I want to be able to play the game the way I like it and with two chars I can do more. Grouping with others always result in them complaining about me not being efficient enough and that makes the fun go away. I get enough stress IRL so I want to be able to relax and have fun while playing.

Innerspace & ISBoxer can do this - and has the easiest setup for this functionality I've ever seen. Check out the link in my signature for details.

In the end, the game is about having fun.
If clicking is more fun, then that's is definitely the way to go.

Having read through Zanthor's thread there, I'd recommend looking at IS.

I first tried Innerspace, but it keept saying game config couldn't be loaded. So I gave up and use HotkeyNet instead, it works great!
