Spread Slaves Out

[Mootallica]

I've been searching for a solution, I'm sure it's been posted before. In hotkeynet, how can I make slave1 and slave2 move away from eachother.

this is what I've tried, and it's not working.

//----------------------------------------------------------------
//Formation 1
//----------------------------------------------------------------
<Hotkey ScrollLockOn Shift Ctrl 1>
<SendLabel w2>
<Key Left >
<Key Left >
<Key Down >
<Key Down>
<SendLabel w3>
<Key Right >
<Key Right >
<Key Down>
<Key Down>

I get no errors, and it displays all keys being sent correctly, but the slaves aren't doing anything.. What am I missing?

It's been awhile since my HKN days, but I'm pretty sure your problem is you don't have the keys defined as movement keys in HKN. I don't remember the command, but basically it's not holding down the key like you want, and I stead just pushing it for a fraction of a second. Find that command and you'll be golden.

//----------------------------------------------------------------
//Formation 1
//----------------------------------------------------------------
<Hotkey ScrollLockOn Shift Ctrl 1>
    <SendLabel w2>
        <KeyDown Left>
        <KeyDown Down>
    <SendLabel w3>
        <KeyDown Right>
        <KeyDown Down>

<HotkeyUp ScrollLockOn Shift Ctrl 1>
    <SendLabel w2>
        <KeyUp Left>
        <KeyUp Down>
    <SendLabel w3>
        <KeyUp Right>
        <KeyUp Down>

<MovementHotkey NumLockOn left, right, up, down>
<SendLabel wx, w1, w2, w3, w4, w5, w6, w7, w8, w9>
<Key %Trigger%>

OK, so I'm still using the old method:

//----------------------------------------------------------------
//Formation 1
//----------------------------------------------------------------
<MovementHotkey ScrollLockOn Shift Ctrl 1>
    <SendLabel w2>
        <Key Left>
        <Key Down>
    <SendLabel w3>
        <Key Right>
        <Key Down>

The OP didn't ask for a script to move his characters in the same direction simultaneously, he wants them moving in different directions.

saw that after I posted >.<

EaTCarbS' response was still useful since it showed the "MovementHotkey" command, which is the best way to do what the OP is requesting.

Thanks for the help guys.. This is exactly what I was looking for!

Okay so this thread is 3 years old now, but I had recently been exploring this sort of "formation" movement myself. I thought you could use mouse clicks in conjunction with click-to-move on the slaves to do it but so far haven't had any luck. So far, I've tried the following:

<Hotkey ScrollLockOn Oem1>
    <SendLabel w2>
        <ClickMouse RButton Both Window 50% 50%>
    <SendLabel w3>
        <ClickMouse RButton Both Window 45% 50%>
    <SendLabel w4>
        <ClickMouse RButton Both Window 55% 50%>
    <SendLabel w5>
        <ClickMouse RButton Both Window 60% 50%>

Which doesn't seem to do anything at all, actually. That is, I press the key, HotkeyNet picks it up and apparently executes the macro, but I don't see any sort of response in my slave windows. Based on this thread, it looks like most people just use key movement, but I thought you could make for more interesting formations using click-to-move. I've tried moving the 1st value around a bit to make sure i wasn't clicking too close to the center to cause it to move. Any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong?

... and I just met Krystallus for the first time... twice he killed 4 of my party in one shot before I researched to figure out wtf was going on, only to find that a solution to the positioning issue would be pretty handy right about now.

Edit: I managed to get the fight done using the key method. I'd still be interested in the mouse solution just for S&G if anyone can help.
