Multiboxing help please!

[AvgNoob]

Hi, I am new to this multiboxing stuff and i have recently used someone's script that was posted on one of the forums. I use 2 accounts and i can get the second one to jump when I jump and follow my but i can't figure out how to to get him to cast when I cast. I can't find any sample scripts or help anywhere and was wondering if there were any veterans use to doing this that could offer some advice. I have gotten him to cast once or twice until one target was dead, but when I move to the second it doesn't respond and it's just me casting again. I don't know if i'm missing something but I know it isn't right, please help ?(

Probably you are missing an assist script.

/assist name

I normally map this to the #1 key, so that when i attack a target on my primary, my slaves assist and target my target at the same time. Then, you don't need any special macros for your actual spell cast, as it's just a normal spell cast. Just map it to a key you press on your primary for an attack and it should go without any problems.

I'm new to this so please bear with me. Now when you say /assist <name> is that a macro i need to have on my main or on the slave? Or is that totally out of the game in on a hotkey script? I am script challenged and need guidance . Like I said i copied one that someone had on a forum and that's all i have done with it script wise. I wish there was a Basic+basic tutorial to go by. This is the current script I am using. If anyone could please look it over and tell me if there is anything wrong it would much appreciated!

In your script delete all the lines containing =down =up, Sorn wrote that script and his Assist macro was bound to his '=' key, hence why it's in every line lol; it'll be useless to you more than likely.

Ingame, type /macro, click New, name it Assist, pick any icon you want, hit Ok, in the box on left while Assist is selected, put this in the box below:

/target MainsName OR /target Focus(Whichever method you use, NOT both and NOT this text in parenthesis lol)
/follow
/assist
/stopcasting (This line is OPTIONAL, it's a nice way to stop your alt's casting though if you need to lol)

The above macro goes on either the Alt only, or the alt AND main; HOWEVER. If you DO put it on the main too(In case you just want to keep hotkeys matching, or to switch mains on the fly), remove the /assist line; otherwise you're gonna be assisting the Mob you're targeting, and mid-fight that means you're gonna be targeting yourself or your alt instead and that'll make the alt target you/himself too lol
