Hotkeynet help with PiP script

[Kemosabe]

I'm hoping someone can help me figure out what is wrong with this script, it will load my 3 accounts, put them in PiP, I have the sizes just like I want them, but wow2 and wow3 aren't getting any commands. Now if I use this script to load my accounts, then switch to just a plain 4 wows on one pc script, it's perfect, but I can't toggle between them. Here's the script...

//-----------------------------------------------------------
// PRESS CTRL R TO RENAME WOW'S IF YOU LAUNCH THEM MANUALLY.

 <SendLabel w1>

 <key space>

I get 42 errors when I load it, all but one are just saying "disregarding empty hotkey", the other one is "
<Hotkey ScrollLockOn F1> has already been defined.  Only the first definition will be used.

I'm hoping someone can figure out what needs to be fixed here so my two slaves get commands sent to them. If I start my wows with this script by hitting "alt control L" then switch to this script...

it works great, I just don't have the PiP script to toggle between them once I load this one. Any help is deeply appreciated.

Thanks.

Ok, first thing is you don't have a hole punched for your PiP, you've just forced your slave windows on top, which is not how you want to do things. It puts your master window as a background window, which means it's going to get crappy performance.

The "Empty Hotkeys" messages are because you already defined F1 as a hotkey for your PiP. Removing F1 from the Hotkey definition will clear all of the errors. I'd also suggest using a Keylist instead of defining all those keys separately with a shift modifier.

Don't define Space as a hotkey. It should be defined as a movement key, otherwise the key won't be sustained, which means it won't work for moving up in the air while flying or while swimming.

On the same note, you have A-Z except WASD being sent. Q, E and X should also be excluded with at least X moved to the Movement keys. Q and E are strafe left and right, you will still want that ability on your master {I also use it on my slaves, so I define them as movement keys as well}. X is down, which you may need for swimming and flying on occasion.

I would also add Esc as a key so you can access the game menu, cancel casting, clear targets, clear windows and whatever else you can use Esc for in the game.


I'd also add a stop broadcasting toggle in there, just to make things easier. I use Pause.

Here's the updated version of your script. NOTES ARE COMMENTED OUT AND IN BOLD RED. You should delete my notes before loading the script. -

You might also want to take a look at my HotKeyNet guide in my sig for a better grasp of what's going on. It also contains links to tons of other HotKeyNet stuff.

Thank you so much for taking time out for me and fixing that. I really appreciate you. You are awesome and it works beautifully. Only thing I added was "Equal, Minus" keys and it works flawlessly now!

Thank you so much and I bookmarked your guides and will be studying up.

Glad to help

It's a shame the password feature was removed in build 148: http://hotkeynet.com/p/encrypt-log-on.html

The note suggests people should request the feature be re-implemented.

Please do not unnecessarily necro threads from 7 years ago.

Additionally Hotkeynet has been out of development for a number of years and there will not be any changes, updates or fixes coming to it in the foreseeable future.
