1 button = 2 button press is this possible?

[jefflo]

ex: i use button 6 for spell1 and button 7 for spell2 what i do is i press them at the same time in the middle so it press 6&7 at the same time



question: so my question is is it posilble to like bind button6&7 to one button lets say i want to press 1 button only but it will press 2buttons at the same time (ex: pressing button6 will also press button7) so i dont need to press them booth?

well there are different solutions for this: macro ones and software ones:

-for a simple macro-solution, you could simply add a '/click ActionButton7' to the macro on '6' so that after 6 is executed, 7 is clicked.

-for software solution with some KeyBroadcasters you could create a HotKey which presses both buttons simultanious (i'm thinking of HKN here, but IS and AHK should also work), but this maybe discussable, if it is ok with blizz (in my opinion, because no real 'waits' are used, for me it is, but I would advise people to do this on their own risk,because blizz might see it the other way...).

Thats its quite possible without even using two buttons... but im not sure what exactly are you talking abaut, do you want to make some sort of castsequence or something like send pet + Hunter's mark? Please give in more details.

Executing 2 hotkeys from 1 physical button press is NOT allowed in WOW. There's the clarification.

Honestly, if you happen to find the statement where a blue exactly says this, it would be very kind to point me in the direction.

ok, I try to answer this myself...

..when looking on the blizz post about keyclone, it says:

Just make absolutely certain that you're not making more than one keypress (for the purposes of the word 'keypress' this includes a single key press AND release with no delays), or including delays between key-presses with each action.

Essentially, if you could legally create the command as a functional macro within the default user interface, then it should be okay.

This is quite funny, because looking on the first question it seems to clearly says that two keypresses are not allowed, but the second sentence says that 'if you could legally create the command as a functional macro within the default user interface, then it should be okay.' So in the example I given above (where you could simulate the second keypress with a /click) on the one hand you use two keypresses, but it could also be done by macro, so the quote above seems to be a contradiction...

If the first statement were true, it would be legal to trigger an in-game macro with third-party software if the macro is bound in-game to F1, but it would be illegal to trigger the same macro in the same way if it's bound to Alt F1.

I think the second statement is the correct one. The second statement says that the client's key bind screen is the rule book. If it's legal to bind a certain in-game action to a certain physical key combination with the client itself, then it's legal to do the same thing with third-party software.

Personally, I would refrain from using something like keyclone/ahk/hkn to press two buttons at once, as that is clearly afoul of the ToS. Note: ALT is not a separate key in the context of "single keypress = single action" in the WoW ToS. Strictly speaking, it is a modifier key. ALT, SHIFT and CTRL all fit this, which is further confirmed by the "modifier=xxx" structures in macros. So, pressing ALT+F1 (one key + one modifier) is fine. Pressing F1+F2 (two independent keys) is NOT fine. And yes, Blizzard can tell the difference.

Alternatively, you can create a "/click" macro to press your two hotbuttons "sequentially" but via one keypress, which is what many folks here do for certain things like FTL setups. Don't confuse the mechanic afforded by a "/click" macro with actually pressing two physical buttons at the same time with one keypress. They're most definitely not the same thing.

ok thanks for the input i dont need it to be sequence just spam it same time, i think i'll play around the /click macro on question about it lets say i make a 3 part macro with the /click button1 /click button2 /click button3 does this spam it at the same time or in order(sequence)? and lets say if its on a order what if my /click button2 is a macro that does a spell with a cd and its on cd and fails does it also stop at the or will is still click /click button3?



i want to try to make a single button to spam 2 or 3 spell thats on a cd and dont want to look at cooldowns to be able to spam it coz i dont see any macro command that does this so i use 2 physical button but would love to make it as one so i can use the other button beside it for some other functions



thanks for the replys
