Help with a "Spread Out" Macro

[Adronson]

Some people on these forums talk about a macro to make a character "step left" or "step right". Can anyone tell me how you would put a "step" command in a macro.

I've been stumbling around on various Macro guide sites until my head hurts, and haven't found anything yet. I'm sure I'm looking right past it.

The only way I do it is by binding for an example; H to move left on char1, right on char2, back on char3 and so on. But it's not that useful imo..

Edit: I've seen people with like 5-boxes using other methods however I don't know the methods.

[Adronson]

Thanks, that works for now. If anyone else has any other methods please let me know.

Most gamepads and gaming keyboards can do this with programmable keys, however, it's just sort of illegal..

Movement, as well as casting most spells, using the AH, etc. all requires hardware input, and simulating that tends to get ppl banned.

The way I do it is with different keymappings for each character.

I use [ins] and [del] to step my /follow characters apart from each other.

char1: strafe left: [ins]
char2: straft right [ins]
char3: backwards [ins]
char4: forward [ins]

That way when I press [ins] the four chars that follow my main each move in a different direction in a roughly diamond pattern. I have bound [del] to the inverse movement direction on each char, so I can move them back as well.

That's what i do as well only a diffrent key. Looks pretty cool too. I love going in to town and using that. Draws a crowd real quick. Along with comments that follows "WTF" "OMG" "BOTTER" "PLZ HAVE MY BABYS"

I love it =)

is there any way to do that with AHK? trying to do that but chars seems to do just very small steps

better yet... does anyone know a macro for 'face target' so a caster is pointing in the right direction?

Sadly there isn't one for WoW (that I know of) and I've read a few posts about WoW lacking one, shame as for multiboxing this would be great

doh, I was hoping to make some kind of spread out thingie on single PC ;/
