Going nuts..

[Nikita]

Ive been googling for 2 hours now + trying to script it myself. But cant get it to work. How the hell do I script HKN to send

<Hotkey ScrollLockOn shift t>
//IWT
<Toggle>
<SendLabel w1,w2,w3,w4>
<Key k>


I have my shamans spamming LBs when I press Shift + t, and Im trying to get Hotkeynet to send my interact button (which is K) at the same time.

What am I doing wrong?

Do you want HotkeyNet to send both Shift T and K when you press Shift T?

If that's what you want, I'm guessing that it's illegal in WoW (edit: I wrote "guess" because it depends on the particular actions that get triggered in the game), and you probably shouldn't do it. But here's how you'd write that:

<Hotkey ScrollLockOn Shift T>
   <SendLabel w1,w2,w3,w4> 
      <Key Shift T>
      <Key K>

It's most definitely legal to send two keypresses immediately at the press of one key, as long as there is no delay.

The whole "If I taped a bar across two or more keys it would be just like pressing one button" argument.

I don't agree. If your two sent keypresses perform a combination of actions in any single window that cannot be bound to a single key using WoW's in-game configuration, then they violate Blizzard's rules.

In other words, in any single WoW window, a hotkey is only allowed to perform a combination of actions that the same pressed key could trigger in that window using WoW's built-in key binding interface.

Are you sure? I would expect that about half of this entire forum would be banned by now if that were true...

This can be done in-game with /click. For example I want to always spam Mangle and Thrash on cooldown with Mangle higher priority than Thrash, I can just make a macro:

/click BTButton1
/click BTButton2

I honestly don't see what's different than just spamming both '1' and '2' on my keyboard nonstop with a fat finger, or taping the two keys together.

From what I remember is that Blizzard only cares that each action is a direct and immediate result of a human keypress. Performing two actions from one keypress fits into that category and must be allowed unless they said otherwise recently.

If you can bind that macro to a single key press using WoW's built-in interface, then yes, it's legal to accomplish the same result with third-party software.

That's what I said above.

But if you cannot trigger a certain combination of actions in a single window with a single key press using WoW's built-in interface, then it's illegal to accomplish the same result with third-party software.

I'm with Akoko, pretty much every boxer with Isboxer that does pve and has a "big" mash button for dps, Uses several macro's under 1 key through ISboxer. So you'd probably have hundreds of people violate the rules if that wasn't allowed.

/click is part of WoW's built-in macro interface.

[Freddie]

/click is part of WoW's built-in macro interface.

Yes of course it is.

You keep telling me you can do something with the built-in interface.

Yes, yes, yes. If a single physical keystroke can trigger something in the game with the built-in interface, then it's legal to do the same thing with third-party software.

You seem to think I disagree with that statement, but in fact that's what I said from the beginning.

My point here is that the converse is also true..

Here's the converse:

If a single physical keystroke can't trigger some particular combination of actions in a single window using WoW's built-in interface, then it's illegal to trigger that particular combination of actions with a hotkey in a single window using third-party software.

Movement isn't a macroable command in game. That includes IWT.

But, HKN can do commands on Keyup and Keydown, so if you want to avoid sending 2 actions that aren't macroable together in game {interact and cast} try defining one on keydown and one on keyup

<Hotkey ScrollLockOn Shift T>
<SendLabel w1,w2,w3,w4>
<Key Shift T>

<Hotkeyup ScrollLockOn Shift T>
<SendLabel w1,w2,w3,w4>
<Key K>

Or build it as a toggle so that first press is LB and the second is IWT

<Hotkey ScrollLockOn Shift T>
<Toggle>
<SendLabel w1,w2,w3,w4>
<Key Shift T>
<Toggle>
<SendLabel w1,w2,w3,w4>
<Key K>
