Targeted AoE...

[Lax]

Really doubt Blizzard would consider this a bot. Their main definition of a bot is a program that doesn't require any outside assistance to run. IE: It can walk, kill, loot, etc without anyone being at the keyboard. This addon would require you to be at the keyboard and isn't that automatic or precise in my humble opinion to be considered a bot.

They wouldn't consider it "a bot" no. But someone brought up the minimap click thing, where the game used to let you click on the minimap to cast the spell perfectly each time. They didn't like that, so they removed the capability from the client. The difference between this and that is that the minimap way was dead simple. This method is just more clever. If the minimap thing was a problem, I don't see how this wouldn't be, since it allows you to precisely aim targeted AoEs.

Unlike an aimbot WOW already has built in a /target function. As long as you're facing the right way then simply /target accomplishes what an aimbot does. If this automatically faces you in the right direction )which I didn't see it doing in the video) then you may have an issue but otherwise it's a solution to an age old problem.

The purpose of an aimbot is to keep an enemy in your crosshairs so all you have to do, if anything, is click to directly hit them each time. Which is what this code does. /target is nothing like this or an aimbot and doesn't work for the same things -- only abilities which can already be locked on a target work with /target...

Obviously this method is quite convenient to have, but again, I think it's only a matter of time.

Going to say... INNERSPACE FTW same concept less work on everyone's end minus Lax's :P

This addon, if proven legal, would actually be more versatile than just mouse/click broadcasting, and combined they could be even better.

I love IS and couldn't live without it. What this is doing is putting your AOE right on the mob without having to do it manually like in IS.

Also in IS when I use my AOE from my druids/hurricane their mouses don't sync 100% so the AOE is in 3 different places. One of my only gripes but I believe it's caused more by latency than anything else. Plus like I said before manually position the AOE can be a bitch in the heat of battle. Especially from my main window who's a paladin and have to position their AOE a bit blindly.

Much like the ping the minimap cast addons that used to exist, it's "legal," though blizz may consider it an undesirable behavior of LUA and kill it as well. I feel fine using it because it doesn't do anything not allowed in game, but I for one will avoid becoming reliant upon this feature. I just don't see it lasting too long should it become a bit more mainstream.

It is camera angles and such, for the lack of sync when broadcasting the mouse.
The mouse pointer is at the same point in each screen, but the screen is not necessarily oriented so the point is the same area on the ground.

If you use a SetView(x);SetView(x) command, in the macro which casts your AoE, this is alleviated to a large degree.

anyone able to get this to work?

When i use /pnklook Magn lock it just flips the camera backwards.
-Magn is short for my masters name.
-my flip camera is bound to middle mouse button. should i unbind that maybe to troubleshoot ?
-I modified my setviewB to 40,40,0 as per the instuctions

I have all my computers controled by one trackball. I make sure all the movements are the same speed/scale. I just move the mouse to the upper left or right to set all at 0,0 then move all to the same point, as I play only in full screen. If my views are all the same (easy enough to do) I get the same target . This only works for 6 of my guys (one per computer and actaully only 5 cause my tank is on my main all the time) but hey 5 blizzards is nice. I can then flip to another 5 characters and do again in a few seconds or so though.

I played with this one day but without click broadcasting I wasn't able to make good use of it. It looked to have a lot of potential, but very rough in it's current state. I did end up with that 180 degree's reversed camera view as someone mentioned once, along with just other crazy view nonsense going on. Mostly cool addon though.
