Hotkey script problems.

[Boss]

hey all I'm needing some help. I used the Hotkey how to to setup a launch and rename script and all it did was loop opening new ones over and over. Anyone know where the problem lies?


//-----------------------------------------------------------

I use :
//-----------------------------------------------------------

//-----------------------------------------------------------
<Command LaunchAndRename>
<SendPC %1%>
<Run "c:\Games\World of Warcraft\WoW.exe">

<Text %3%>
<Wait 1400>
<Key Tab>
<Wait 1400>

<Wait 1400>
<Key Enter>




//-----------------------------------------------------------
// HOTKEY TO LAUNCH 5 WOW'S.
//-----------------------------------------------------------
<Hotkey Shift Alt Ctrl L>

hey all I'm needing some help. I used the Hotkey how to to setup a launch and rename script and all it did was loop opening new ones over and over. Anyone know where the problem lies?

It's not looping. Loops are frowned on here, so I want to be accurate about this.

What exactly is the mistake? You wrote "LaunchAndRename" five times in one place. That calls the subroutine five times. Then inside the subroutine you wrote "Run" five times. That launches WoW five times.

5 x 5 = 25, so HotkeyNet tries to open WoW 25 times.

That's not a loop. When you write something by hand five times, you're just writing something by hand five times.

[Boss]

Ok thanks for the response. So i would change it to this:

//-----------------------------------------------------------
// HOTKEY TO LAUNCH AND RENAME BOTH WOW'S.
//-----------------------------------------------------------
<Hotkey ScrollLockOn Alt Ctrl L>
<LaunchAndRename Local WoW1>


I'm wanting it to open the 5 wows from the different folder.

Never mind think I figured it out

[Freddie]

I'm wanting it to open the 5 wows from the different folder.

Do you mean you want five WoWs and each of them should be from a different folder?

[Boss]

Yes this is what I came up with should work?

//-----------------------------------------------------------
// SUBROUTINE TO LAUNCH AND RENAME A COPY OF WOW.
//-----------------------------------------------------------
<Command LaunchAndRename>
<SendPC %1%>
<Run %2%>
<RenameTargetWin %3%>
<RemoveWinFrame>

//-----------------------------------------------------------
// HOTKEY TO LAUNCH AND RENAME BOTH WOW'S.
//-----------------------------------------------------------
<Hotkey ScrollLockOn Alt Ctrl L>
<LaunchAndRename Local "c:\Program Files\WoW5\WoW.exe"WoW5>
<LaunchAndRename Local "e:\WoW4\WoW.exe"WoW4>
<LaunchAndRename Local "e:\WoW3\WoW.exe"WoW3>
<LaunchAndRename Local "e:\WoW2\WoW.exe"WoW2>
<LaunchAndRename Local "e:\WoW1\WoW.exe"WoW1>

<ResizeAndPosition Local WoW1 1300 1050 0 0>
<ResizeAndPosition Local WoW2 380 262 1300 0>
<ResizeAndPosition Local WoW3 380 262 1300 262>
<ResizeAndPosition Local WoW4 380 262 1300 524>
<ResizeAndPosition Local WoW5 380 262 1300 784>


Thats what I was looking for.

[Freddie]

Yep, that's the right idea. Grats. You might need spaces between the quotation marks and the names of windows in the hotkey -- I forget if they are necessary.

[Boss]

Hey Freddie have another question (working step by step adding things) got them launching fine and resizing now I'm trying to get them to switch with the F keys. This how I have it:

code is in next reply made some headway.

I'm wanting if I can them yo open like normal resized and then be able to F through them.

[Boss]

Thats doing what I want just errors when started up have to hit a F1 to get all screens open right after start up.

This is just moving main through the order and then only the first to the main screen need help with that.
