Hotstrings?

[Gibbin]

Ok so here is my problem, I want on whatever toon i am currently playing both q and e too do nothing, but on the other four instances of wow, i want q too be strafe left for two of them, and right for the other two, and vice versa for e, how if at all would i go about doing this with keyclone? ?( hotstrings have me lost lol and i am affraid of ither breaking it or wasteing 6 hours figureing it out... just too have it not work or be impossabe lol. ANY help would be appreciated

first of all, i haven't use keyclone since nearly a year, so i can'T say if the following still works (but I think it should).

But in concept it should be doable like this:

1. Unbind strafe-left/right from your q / e buttons on all of your toons (this is, because we don't want the focus-window to move, and use left/right arrow for starfing instead)

2. Create the following keymaps on the different toons (here for q):

ToonA:
q -> q.master.a
shift + LEFT -> q.master.b
ctrl + LEFT -> q.master.c
alt + LEFT -> q.master.d
LEFT -> q.master.e

ToonB:
LEFT -> q.master.a
q -> q.master.b
ctrl + LEFT -> q.master.c
alt + LEFT -> q.master.d
shift + LEFT -> q.master.e

ToonC:
LEFT -> q.master.a
shift + LEFT -> q.master.b
q -> q.master.c
alt + RIGHT -> q.master.d
ctrl + Right -> q.master.e

ToonD:
RIGHT -> q.master.a
shift + RIGHT -> q.master.b
ctrl + RIGHT -> q.master.c
q -> q.master.d
alt + Right -> q.master.e

ToonE:
RIGHT -> q.master.a
shift + RIGHT -> q.master.b
ctrl + RIGHT -> q.master.c
alt + RIGHT -> q.master.d
q -> line.master.e

(for 'e' do the same keymaps with replacing 'q' with 'e' and left with right).
(here you can finde the concept with 3 toons: Focusless, targetless, 'leaderless' setup. )


btw.: if some one needs the sme for HKN, this would look like the following:

<Template SendSlavesStrafes>
   <If ActiveWinIs %1%>
 	<Sendlabel %2%>
    	<key %3%>
 	<Sendlabel %4%>
    	<key %5%>
<EndTemplate>


<MovementHotkey q>
  <ApplyTemplate SendSlavesStrafes WoW1 "w2,w3" "q" "w4,w5" "e">
  <ApplyTemplate SendSlavesStrafes WoW2 "w1,w3" "q" "w4,w5" "e">
  <ApplyTemplate SendSlavesStrafes WoW3 "w1,w2" "q" "w4,w5" "e">
  <ApplyTemplate SendSlavesStrafes WoW4 "w1,w2" "q" "w3,w5" "e">
  <ApplyTemplate SendSlavesStrafes WoW1 "w1,w2" "q" "w3,w4" "e">

<MovementHotkey e>
  <ApplyTemplate SendSlavesStrafes WoW1 "w2,w3" "e" "w4,w5" "q">
  <ApplyTemplate SendSlavesStrafes WoW2 "w1,w3" "e" "w4,w5" "q">
  <ApplyTemplate SendSlavesStrafes WoW3 "w1,w2" "e" "w4,w5" "q">
  <ApplyTemplate SendSlavesStrafes WoW4 "w1,w2" "e" "w3,w5" "q">
  <ApplyTemplate SendSlavesStrafes WoW1 "w1,w2" "e" "w3,w4" "q">

Probably something I've missed, but why are you doing something so complex? - there's probably an easier way to achieve what you're trying to do.

[olipcs]

the reason, some (me included) do something like this, is mainly for formations (like a line) whre the active toon stays allways in the middle.

[keyclone]

for formations, just use the region based keymaps, which are included in the latest version, v1.9i

[blast3r]

I don't use hotstrings for this. I simply bind one key to different movements on each toon.

I just do a star formation.

Bind key is 'E'
toon 1 Step Left
toon 2 Step Right
Toon 3 Step Back
Toon 4 Step Forward

So just bind each movement above to the E key and they will make a formation. Or you can change it up a bit. Is this what you are trying to do?

[olipcs]

blast3r, the problem with this simpel method is, that he wanted it to be independent of the 'active toon', so that the active toon never moves.

for formations, just use the region based keymaps, which are included in the latest version, v1.9i

How would you do that exactly?-- not sure I get what you mean by this.

[keyclone]

this should explain it:
region based keymaps for formations (stack and diamond)

Thanks guys, and as far as what it does, well strafe does not break follow as long as it is heald before the follow command is given, one that goes left follows the other, and vice versa for the rights, and the two lead strafers follow the main, createing a whirling mass of dps spiraling around me, great for useing instant cast spells as an aoe/gather tool, and if you run forwards it makes a ^ formation while running
:P thanks guys
