Keyclone hotstring problem

[dmarnel]

Hello all!

I've tried searching for an answer to this problem but can't find anything similar though it seems like a pretty basic task.

I am playing a warrior (my main) and a priest running on one machine using Keyclone. I have a separate keymap file for each which I load after running keyclone.

My warriors keymap:
(k)TILDE, (hs)all.AssistMain

Priest keymap:
(k)F11, (hs)all.AssistMain

I have this macro on my priest assigned to F11:
/follow focus
/assist focus

(I previously set the focus for the priest to be my main)

Now, from what I understand, if I press the TILDE key on my warrior it should send the hotstring "all.AssistMain" to my priest, which in turn will cause my priest to press the F11 key. This appears to be PARTIALLY working.

However, only the /follow part of the macro gets executed. If I press F11 outright on my priest it works correctly so I don't think it's a problem with the macro.

Any ideas?

i use my follow command by it self.

and in the macros for the spell commands i use the /assist macro so you might want to try it that way.

if the /follow part of the macro is working, then keyclone is working... the problem lies within wow

i had tried tying my assist key to left click... so my clones would automatically do an /assist and get the new target immediately. unfortunately, it doesn't work... as the /assist from the clone would get to the server BEFORE the active's new target would show up

Hmm, I neglected to mention that the TILDE key on my warrior is bound to SelectNearestTarget in key bindings. I was hoping that by just selecting a target with my warrior that I could get the priest to assist on that target.

I just realized (as keyclone mentioned) that my target had not been aquired yet on my warrior before the priest's /assist hit the server. My bad.

yes... it is a race condition between your clone and your main.

basically, your main sends a 'set my target to X' command to the server... while, AT THE SAME TIME, your clone sends a 'assist joe'... the server gets the assist first, normally, takes the currently selected target (old monster) and sends it back... THEN gets the 'set my target to X' command.

breaking it up into multiple keys will solve it... as the time difference between you targeting something and hitting 'assist me' is enough
