Looting question?

[Mexdude]

Hey all i just started two boxing druid/lock thanks for the nice sticky tutorials btw but im curious is there an easier way/trick to loot with my alt i hate having to switch from my main to my alt just to loot >.<

Thanks as always help is appreciated

Put it on 'free for all' loot (/ffa) and loot everything with your main. For quest items and BoPs you wish your clone to have you will have to switch screens though.

With 5 boxing I generally don't pick things up, in instances I put it on Master Loot so I can see greens/blues and loot them to the appropriate clone.

ahhh yea thats the thing is the quest items >.<

I finally got most everything figured out thanks to some of the guys here on the forums. But I also downloaded Multiplicity for my clone and that lets me just switch between my windows with my mouse but only on 1 keyboard. Very useful for getting quests and looting. It's the cat's pajama's bud!!!

So AutoHotKey does have the ability to take control of your mouse and issue clicks at certain locations...

I use the 'w' key for this. Here's the snipet of code that swings the mouse to the appropriate locations on 4 windows and then returns my cursor to roughly center on my main monitor:

[code:1]
CoordMode,Mouse,Screen

~w::
KeyWait, w, D
IfWinActive, World of Warcraft
{
BlockInput, MouseMove
SendInput {click -1280, 380}
SendInput {click -1280, 380 right}
sleep 150
SendInput {Click -1280, 980}
SendInput {Click -1280, 980 right}
sleep 150
SendInput {Click -480, 380}
SendInput {Click -480, 380 right}
sleep 150
SendInput {Click -480, 980}
SendInput {Click -480, 980 right}
sleep 150
SendInput {Click 980, 675}
BlockInput MouseMoveOff
}
Return
[/code:1]

The 4 alts are all sharing a 20" (1600x1200) monitor to the left of my main monitor.

It take a little practice getting the corpses placed properly, but it's definitely neat watching all four alts properly compete for looting access. (I still leave everything FFA.)

Yea it's code like that that's why autohotkey is "iffy" as a software program...not quite botting material yet but scarily close when it does things like that for you lol

The funny thing is that I consider this just a nice thing to have. The stuff that TwoBoxToolkit does amazes me that it is allowed.

You guys think my using the above script goes too far? (Definitely not worth it if it's going to be considered beyond the acceptable use of the tool...)

If AHK moves the mouse for you it could be considered bad yes...moreso if it clicks too, but if not that's the gray area. Just my opinion though, dunno what blizz or the others will think lol

Hmmm... Yeah, it does click as well. Didn't really consider this something I'd be breaking rules doing.
