Can't get the HotkeyNet Sample script to work

[mountainking]

Still having trouble with getting the character to follow me without having to constantly click the other window and click the follow macro I made.

Also on with HKN keys randomly stop working (will only be send to the active window even with Scroll Lock On)

Questing and looting is still frustrating me a little but maybe I'll get the hang of it lol. Here's my code

Some folks )including myself) use the Jamba addon for wow. At its simplist, it uses a simple Master Slave concept and can help alot with the following, quests, trading etc.

Following and possitioning I think will always be a situational thing, and for me I use the S (walk backward key) to break following, and I've created a seperate hotkey that triggers macro's on each slave to /follow. I use Bartended to help assign custom macros on each toon. For example this is what I use to trigger the key combo Alt Ctrl 6 on my Slaves. (I should note I use a game pad also to assign the key combos to one key.)

//----------------------------------------------------------------
//Follow Master - Trigger Follow macro on WoW2
//----------------------------------------------------------------
<Hotkey ScrollLockOn Alt Ctrl 6>
<SendLabel w2>
<Key Alt Ctrl 6 >

Here is my example of the auto follow hotkey I have for hkeynet.

//-----------------------------------------------------------
// DEFINE MOVEMENT KEYS THAT WILL GET SENT TO BOTH WOW'S.
// ADD MORE KEYS IF YOU WANT. 
//-----------------------------------------------------------
<MovementHotkey ScrollLockOn up, down, left, right, Space, S>
<SendLabel w1, w2>
<Key %Trigger%>

HKN only has a limited number of keys sent in that default script. If your slave's follow macro isn't on one of the default number keys {1 through =} or one of the F keys {F1 through F12} then HKN isn't passing it. You can add more keys under the section

//-----------------------------------------------------------
// DEFINE HOTKEYS FOR ALL KEY COMBINATIONS THAT WILL GET
// SENT TO BOTH WOWS. ADD MORE KEY COMBO'S IF YOU WANT.
//-----------------------------------------------------------

Type the key you want to send and look in the Last Key press Window in HKN to see the key name, then add the key name to <Hotkey ScrollLockOn A-Z, 0-9, Plus, Minus, F1-F12 except W, A, S, D, Q, E> BEFORE the "except" and separate them with commas.

Again, review the Jamba FAQ I linked in my first post, it explains how to get slaves to loot, accept and turn in quests and other such things.

I've resolved most of my issues thanks everyone (especially Khat your guides really are helpful to a first time casual like me)!

I bound
/tar Master
/Follow

and

/tar Master
/Assist

and bound a key to Interact with Target.

Then finally got the Oem3 mouse clicking to work decently when completing and accepting quests (woo!)


Only problem I have left is that occasionally only one window will respond to HKN. When I check the log it says it's sending to bot W1 and W2. I try reloading the script and restarting HKN but it doesn't help. I think it has to do with when I re-size windows with the mouse but I'm not sure. It's weird the keys will only send to the background window while the main one won't respond. Restarting the computer fixed but trying to get to the bottom of why it's happening and so I can avoid it.

Thanks for you help everyone.

If HotkeyNet shows you blue messages saying it sent keystrokes to both windows, but only one WoW reacts to them, the reason is almost always that you have more than one window on the computer with the same name as the window that isn't receiving.

In other words, you have told HotkeyNet to send keystrokes to a window with a particular name. HotkeyNet has found a window with that name. HotkeyNet has sent keystrokes to that window. But it's not the window you have in mind.

When you reposition or resize windows, you can change the Z order. This changes the order in which HotkeyNet finds windows, and it can make this problem appear or disappear.

A second window of this sort can exist without your being aware of it. Many windows are invisible. A second window of this kind can get created when you slide the cursor over a task bar button (the thumbnail that pops up briefly is a window, and it has the same name as the original).

You can test whether this is the cause of the problem. Next time it happens, look at the blue messages and notice the handle of the window that HotkeyNet is sending keystrokes too. Write it down. Then go to the Actions Menu and select "Identify window handle" and figure out whether it's the right window.

From this pc: <SendWinM WoW2><Key 8><SendWinM WoW1><Key 8>
<SendWinM WoW2> completed: Window found. Target set to 0x180206 "WoW2"
<Key 8> completed
<SendWinM WoW1> failed: Could not find window "WoW1"
<Key 8> failed: no window is targeted

This is the error i'm getting when the program when it's not working (usually after I resize a window)

Is there a command someone can help me with to restore my windows to the size they are when I use the ALT CTRL L command to launch them initially?
