Key Modifiers?

[xRavyn]

Hello all!

I'm posting here for a few reasons, chief among them being that I'm entirely new to multiboxing. In addition, the HotKeyNet forums seem to be dead, so I figured here would be the best place to ask my question.

I'm having a slight problem; all my number keys are being sent to both wow1 and wow2, however when I hold a modifier key, like Shift, it still activates the skill in that slot on my wow1, even though the game's hotkeys are not set to do such. I presume there's something I need to add in the script I'm using, which is the starter WoW script from HKN's site.

I've tried implementing a few commands in various places but as I'm not the most code-savvy person out there, I can't seem to identify the problem.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Use a keylist and make sure "Clear Modifiers Before Executing a Hotkey" is unchecked in the settings

http://www.dual-boxing.com/wiki/inde...ng_your_script

<KeyList MyList 0-9, Numpad0-Numpad9, Divide, Multiply, NumpadMinus, Tab, NumpadPlus, Backspace, Insert, Home, PgUp, PgDn, Delete, F1-F12, Esc, Oem1-Oem7, except OEM2, w, a, s, d, q, e, x>
<Keylist All 0-9, A-Z, Space, Esc, Enter, Tab, Oem1-Oem7>

<Hotkey CapsLockOff MyList; CapsLockoff Shift MyList; CapsLockOff Alt MyList; CapsLockOff Ctrl MyList>
	  	 <SendLabel w1, w2, w3, w4, w5>
   	<Key %Trigger%>
<Hotkey CapsLockOn All>
	  	 <SendLabel w1, w2, w3, w4, w5>
   	<Key %Trigger%>

I've substituted the code you gave me, but perhaps in the wrong place? I'm still having the same problem. And I have indeed unchecked the option you suggested. Here's the script I'm running, in its entirety.

One thing I see offhand with your script is using <SendLabel w1, w2, w3, w4, w5> in 2 spots when you only have 2 wow windows open. w1 - w5 is used when you have 5 wows open. Try changing them both to <SendLabel w1, w2> and see if that helps.

Edit: To add, I see you have two key lists, All and WoW, but in the first hotkey command you are using MyList. I assume the MyList part should be the WoW key list. So try changing <KeyList WoW 0-9 ... to <KeyList MyList 0-9... ect

I'm far from an expert on HKN, but those are what stand out to me. Are you trying to make it so when you hold Shift it only does an action in the second wow window?

[xRavyn]

I've fixed those... still no luck. :/

And yes, in a sense. I've got two Druids, one feral and one restoration. I'm trying to make it so that 0-9, - and = only trigger the feral's abilities ( in the wow1 window ) and ALT- or Shift-0 through 9, - and = only trigger the resto's abilities.

Edit: I realized shortly after I posted that the code mod I made would actually send Shift + Whatever Key to WoW2 instead of the key itself as you wanted. You'll have to adapt the key lists and modifiers from above to get them working that way. I'll let someone more competent look over things and give you some better advice :P

All of my keys I've done to send to specific windows I coded each single key like <Hotkey Shift ScrollLockOn 1> <SendLabel w1> <Key 1> There are ways to do it without having to do each one manually, its just above my scripting abilities. If it might be of any use I'll leave what I came up with below.

//-----------------------------------------------------------
// DEFINE HOTKEYS FOR ALL KEY COMBINATIONS THAT WILL GET
// SENT TO BOTH WOWS. ADD MORE KEY COMBO'S IF YOU WANT.
//-----------------------------------------------------------
<Hotkey ScrollLockOn A-Z, F1-F12 except W, A, S, D, Q, E>
<SendLabel w1, w2>
<Key %Trigger%> 

<Hotkey ScrollLockOn 0-9, Plus, Minus>
<SendLabel w1>
<Key %Trigger%> 

<Hotkey Shift ScrollLockOn Plus, Minus, 0-9>
<SendLabel w2>
<Key %Trigger%>

In addition, the HotKeyNet forums seem to be dead...

The HotkeyNet forum is not dead. I read everything posted there and usually (not always) give user support.

Adjust the script to use ScrollLock, not CapsLock.

<Hotkey ScrollLockOff MyList; CapsLockoff Shift MyList; CapsLockOff Alt MyList; CapsLockOff Ctrl MyList>

You can also check the output in the HotKeyNet window to see what's happening when you press the various keys.

You have to make sure you don't try to send to undefined labels. You can define them and not load a window which will create a short error on every hotkey press, but you can not try to send to an undefined label. If you look on HKN below the actions window there is a button labelled "show loaded hotkeys," had you clicked on this during testing you would have seen only 16 keys from your original code were loading and the rest were resulting in an error.

It helps to simplify your code in order to troubleshoot as well.

If you still have trouble with the code I posted above it is likely a setting in WoW. As all of the keys you have defined are outputting as they should.

Excellent advice.
