Control Healbot from different client?

[daviddoran]

I use healbot on my main holy pally, but I was thinking it's be way cool if I could move the healbot window from one instance of wow to another, i.e use the click cast heals from healbot from my tank. I know it won't work exactly like that, but if I could somehow get healbot modified to redifect the cast to the healer, it would help me out immensely. Then I could use the main keys to control my tank and maintain aggro, use hotkeys for dps, and click cast heals to whoever needs em, without taking up hotbar space.

Is this possible? Seems like it would make 5 class 5boxing easier to manage.

Yeah, that would be great if someone could find a way to do it. Unfortunately I don't think its possible given the restrictions of the in-game macro system / APIs. You can't move part of your UI from on Direct X window to another, and there's no way for an addon message to trigger a spell cast.

i run 4 shammys with healbot on each account .If you make the size realLy big makes it easy to click from 1 client to the next healing with who has mana or not stunned .real nice for watching my guys buffs then 1 right click there buffed.

why not just bind hotkeys for heals? i run a pally tank as my main with a priest and 3 mages on follow.... just have the F1-F5 function keys unbound on my local client and commands to heal the party on my priests client... imo its much easier to hit F1 to request yourself a heal than a click to cast no?

Yeah, that is what I am doing.

F1-F6 (Skip F4) are bound to macro's with modifiers (renew, PW:S, Heal,etc). F1 is for my priest, F2-F6 are for party members, and F7 is for my hunter's pet. Works great aside from me forgetting my modifiers @ times.
