Keep in mind that each of your toons will only have one keymap no matter how many spells you add. If you were to add Chain Lightning and Lava Burst, you would load the keymap for each toon and just add to it. You keep the same modifiers in Pocalypse's example but just change the button for the spell on your action bar, the unused key that your macro is bound to, and the hotstring text which describes your spell and which toon is using it.
So my keymaps for Chain Lightning might look like this, using button 3 to fire Chain Lightning, and using the backslash key "\" as the unused key:
ToonA:
3 --> CLAT
Ctrl-alt-\ --> CLBT
Alt-Shift-\ --> CLCT
Ctrl-Alt-Shift-\ --> CLDT
Ctrl-\ --> CLET
ToonB:
Ctrl-Shift-\ --> CLAT
3 --> CLBT
Alt-Shift-\ --> CLCT
Ctrl-Alt-Shift-\ --> CLDT
Ctrl-\ --> CLET
ToonC:
Ctrl-Shift-\ --> CLAT
Ctrl-alt-\ --> CLBT
3 --> CLCT
Ctrl-Alt-Shift-\ --> CLDT
Ctrl-\ --> CLET
ToonD:
Ctrl-Shift-\ --> CLAT
Ctrl-alt-\ --> CLBT
Alt-Shift-\ --> CLCT
3 --> CLDT
Ctrl-\ --> CLET
ToonE:
Ctrl-Shift-\ --> CLAT
Ctrl-alt-\ --> CLBT
Alt-Shift-\ --> CLCT
Ctrl-Alt-Shift-\ --> CLDT
3 --> CLET
And the macros for each toon I create for Chain Lightning would look like this, identical to the ones for Lightning Bolt, except the name of the spell is changed:
After you've done this once it all starts to make sense and doing the "Follow" macro and keymaps are a piece of cake. Again, each of these keymaps is just added to the existing keymap for each toon. However, for "Follow" all 5 toons use the exact same macro.Code:ToonA /target [mod:ctrl,mod:alt,nomod:shift,target=ToonB][mod:alt,mod:shift,nomod:ctrl,target=ToonC][mod:ctrl,mod:alt,mod:shift,target=ToonD][mod:ctrl,nomod:alt,nomod:shift,target=ToonE] /cast [target=targettarget,harm] Chain Lightning /targetlasttarget ToonB /target [mod:ctrl,mod:shift,nomod:alt,target=ToonA][mod:alt,mod:shift,nomod:ctrl,target=ToonC][mod:ctrl,mod:alt,mod:shift,target=ToonD][mod:ctrl,nomod:alt,nomod:shift,target=ToonE] /cast [target=targettarget,harm] Chain Lightning /targetlasttarget ToonC /target [mod:ctrl,mod:shift,nomod:alt,target=ToonA][mod:ctrl,mod:alt,nomod:shift,target=ToonB][mod:ctrl,mod:alt,mod:shift,target=ToonD][mod:ctrl,nomod:alt,nomod:shift,target=ToonE] /cast [target=targettarget,harm] Chain Lightning /targetlasttarget ToonD /target [mod:ctrl,mod:shift,nomod:alt,target=ToonA][mod:ctrl,mod:alt,nomod:shift,target=ToonB][mod:alt,mod:shift,nomod:ctrl,target=ToonC][mod:ctrl,nomod:alt,nomod:shift,target=ToonE] /cast [target=targettarget,harm] Chain Lightning /targetlasttarget ToonE /target [mod:ctrl,mod:shift,nomod:alt,target=ToonA][mod:ctrl,mod:alt,nomod:shift,target=ToonB][mod:alt,mod:shift,nomod:ctrl,target=ToonC][mod:ctrl,mod:alt,mod:shift,target=ToonD] /cast [target=targettarget,harm] Chain Lightning /targetlasttarget
ToonA:
` --> FOA
Ctrl-alt-O --> FOB
Alt-Shift-O --> FOC
Ctrl-Alt-Shift-O --> FOD
Ctrl-O --> FOE
ToonB:
Ctrl-Shift-O --> FOA
` --> FOB
Alt-Shift-O --> FOC
Ctrl-Alt-Shift-O --> FOD
Ctrl-O --> FOE
ToonC:
Ctrl-Shift-O --> FOA
Ctrl-alt-O --> FOB
` --> FOC
Ctrl-Alt-Shift-O --> FOD
Ctrl-O --> FOE
ToonD:
Ctrl-Shift-O --> FOA
Ctrl-alt-O --> FOB
Alt-Shift-O --> FOC
` --> FOD
Ctrl-O --> FOE
ToonE:
Ctrl-Shift-O --> FOA
Ctrl-alt-O --> FOB
Alt-Shift-O --> FOC
Ctrl-Alt-Shift-O --> FOD
` --> FOE
So now that you've created all your keymaps and macros, the last thing you need to do is load the keymap for each toon, or for each wow installation running on your computer. One nice little feature about keyclone to help you figure out which keymap should be loaded is the "Bring to Front" option. From the main keyclone window, right click on one of your installations running and select "Bring to Front."Code:/target [mod:ctrl,mod:shift,nomod:alt,target=ToonA][mod:ctrl,mod:alt,nomod:shift,target=ToonB][mod:alt,mod:shift,nomod:ctrl,target=ToonC][mod:ctrl,mod:alt,mod:shift,target=ToonD][mod:ctrl,nomod:alt,nomod:shift,target=ToonE] /follow /targetlasttarget
Then you will know which character is running out of which installation, and you can again right click that installation and load the appropriate keymap. Do that for each of your characters/installations and you should be good to go.
As a final note, I don't claim to be an expert on this subject. Like I said this was the most difficult thing to figure out in my multiboxing experience and I know other people have been frustrated with it. Hopefully this will make it easier for others to understand so they can get it up and running also. My apologies if I've made any mistakes here and feel free to correct me.
