Sending a slash command in Tera

[Galdorf]

Only thing i have not figured out is how to send a slash command in tera so basically i want to send a /follow player1 via hotkey from main window (tera1) to other window that has my priest(tera2).
Did lots of searching could not find any example code.

You'd need to use the Text command

It should look something like this

<Hotkey Ctrl F>
	<SendLabel w2>
		<Text /follow player1>
		<Key Enter>

Depending on how the entering of commands works in the game, you may need to add an enter first and a wait command before the second enter.

<Hotkey Ctrl F>
	<SendLabel w2>
		<Key Enter>
		<Text /follow player1>
		<wait 100>
		<Key Enter>

Last year when I levelled in tera with a partner I think I did find that it worked best if there was a small wait between the enter and the /follow. I was autotyping using my gaming keyboard, though, not hotkeynet, but the pause is probably still a good idea.

Thanks that worked only thing is that window2 is set to current window i have to manually switch back to window1

You can try adding either <Restore> or <TargetWin MAINWINDOWNAME> at the end of the command, that should put the main window back in the foreground after sending the text command. Again, you might need to also add a little wait command in there after Enter and before the Restore/TargetWin command.

what would be the best way for lining up the crosshairs on the follower? cant find any useful info on this...

[Khatovar]

That would be a mechanic of the game, HotKeyNet doesn't have a way to intuitively track that since it doesn't have any way of "reading" the game, which is true for all multiboxing programs. This is why there are very few people even attempting to multibox Tera. You will have to manually position the mouse on the slave. You can try using ActiveWindowTracking to automatically bring the windows into the foreground when you need to position on the slave, but there's not going to be anything simple about managing slave targeting.

not looking for an automatic lineup..just want to lets say..hold hot key that activates mouse on Window 2 lets me line up the cross hairs then release hotkey have mouse return to window 1 and continue as usual with broadcasting. Problem im having is focus window keeps changing and not going the way i want it to. Ive tried a bunch of diff scripts..heres the latest.

<UseKeyAsModifier Oem3>
<Hotkey ScrollLockOn LButton>
<SendLabel w1, w2>
<Clickmouse LButton>
<wait 250>
<RestoreMousePos>
<Else>
<SendFocusWin>
<Clickmouse LButton>

Heres the script Ive been using. E is to reset cam position which lines up crosshairs somehwat for aoe spells. Follow works well but mouseclicks are not going well. WOuld love to be able to swithc windows lineup and return to mainwindow. Any help/corrections would be greatly appreciated. This is the sample wow script 2 on 1 edited for my use with tera. Feel free to use.

Mouseclicks as of now..when i clck left mouse it changes focus window to window 2 and if i click again it then goes back to window 1. I would love for this to work where If i hold down a hotkey..it switches to window 2 lets me line up the crosshairs..then either release hot key or press another hotkey to return to window 1 and continue broadcasting keyclicks.

Launching and renaming doesnt really work cause of the launcher window and how that works..so ive been launching and renaming manually. But if anyone cant edit that to work..that would be great too...Please HELP!

CNTRL R works to rename the windows only if the launcher is closed..which btw will not kill either instance of TERA after they are running. Atleast for me.

I see you have ActiveWindowTracking, but I have no idea how you're trying to use it. You also have mouse broadcasting as always on, I would advise against this as the amount of use your mouse is going to get is only going to cause the restore command to get messed up and make the mouse restore to the wrong window.

Your mouse setup doesn't have an IF, so there's never a time where ELSE comes into play, which means every time you hit your left mouse button, the mouse is moving between both windows. There's also a delay in there between hitting the left button and restoring, which is only going to compound the issue of the windows not switching back to the main.

As I said previously, your best bet is probably going to be using ActiveWindowTracking. This will automatically raise the slave window to the foreground whenever you move your mouse over it and raise the master to the foreground again when you move your mouse back. Turn on ActiveWindowTracking, move your mouse over to the slave window and position your crosshairs, leftclick and then just sweep your mouse back over to the master window. ActiveWindowTracking should put the master window back as the active window the second your mouse moves over it.

In general, I really hate the Launch setup in the default script. I'd suggest reconfiguring to use the modified version from my guide on Configuring a HotKeyNet Starter Script. The refined version is about halfway down the page.

If you are running from different locations, you can use RenameFromPath. This is what I used for EQ2, which also has a wonky launcher. NOTE - this code is only for EQ2. You would need to do a lot of refining to make it work for another game. Heck, you might even need a lot of refining to get it to work with EQ2 at this point. It's just so you can see how I got my launch to work using RenameFromPath.
