HotkeyNet + AOE!

[Schwarz]

Sorry to bring up an old thread but I have a question.

 <UseKeyAsModifier Grave>

<Hotkey Grave LButton>
<SendFocusWin>
<MouseClick LButton>
<SendWinM LWoW1>
<MouseClick LButton>
<SendPC 192.168.1.8>
<SendWinM RWoW3>
<MouseClick LButton>

Maybe this will become apparent once I install/mess around with AutoHotkey but what is the "Grave" button? In other words what is the syntax of the <Hotkey> tag?

If I wanted to bind this to key K would it be <HotKey K LButton>?

The name "Grave" has changed and is no longer used in the current version of HotkeyNet. Key names vary by country and Windows's language setting. To learn the name of a key on your keyboard, press it while looking at HotkeyNet's upper-right corner. You can use any key.

[quote='Schwarz',index.php?page=Thread&postID=11053 0#post110530]In other words what is the syntax of the <Hotkey> tag?[/quote]
You put as many keynames in a row as you want to hold down simultaneously. (Actually I think there's a limit of ten, I forget.) For example, the following is a valid hotkey:

[code]<Hotkey LAlt LShift K LButton>[/code]
That hotkey will get triggered when you hold down the left-alt, left-shift, and K buttons and then click the left mouse button.

You can also use the special keywords NumLockOn, ScrollLockOn, CapsLockOn, NumLockOff, ScrollLockOff, and NumLockOff. They restrict the hotkey so it gets triggered only when those conditions are true. For example:

[code]<Hotkey NumLockOn ScrollLockOff LShift MButton>[/code]
That hotkey gets triggered only when NumLock is on, ScrollLock is off, and left-shift and the mouse middle button are pressed.

If you write <Hotkey K LButton> the hotkey will get triggered when you hold down K and the left mouse button simultaneously.

I use Keyclone and HKN, and am trying to get this to work.

I want to put blizzard and flamestrike on my hotbar, preferably with a macro with modifiers so pressing the "`" key gives me blizzard, and shift "~" gives me flamestrike. Then i want the mouse click broadcasting to work. Do I need a second modifier?

here is my basic one without the blizz/flamestrike put in yet

<UseKeyAsModifier F6>

<Hotkey F6 LButton>
<SendWinM WowAlt1>
<ClickMouse LButton>
<SendWinM WowAlt2>
<ClickMouse LButton>
<SendWinM WowAlt3>
<ClickMouse LButton>
<SendWinM WowAlt4>
<ClickMouse LButton>

When I press it, and click, nothing happens. Do I have to add another function for the pressing of F6?

like

<UseKeyAsModifier F6>

<Hotkey F6 LButton>
<SendWinM WowAlt1>
<Key F6>
<ClickMouse LButton>
<SendWinM WowAlt2>
<Key F6>
<SendWinM WowAlt3>
<Key F6>
<ClickMouse LButton>
<SendWinM WowAlt4>
<Key F6>
<ClickMouse LButton>

or do i have to use a separate key for the hotbar that I do for the mouse broadcasting? like

<UseKeyAsModifier F7>

<Hotkey F7 LButton>
<SendWinM WowAlt1>
<Key F6>
<ClickMouse LButton>
<SendWinM WowAlt2>
<Key F6>
<SendWinM WowAlt3>
<Key F6>
<ClickMouse LButton>
<SendWinM WowAlt4>
<Key F6>
<ClickMouse LButton>

Sorry but I don't play WoW so I can only answer if you rephrase your question in terms of, "I want to do such-and-such with my hands, and then I want HotkeyNet to press such-and-such keys in a WoW window."

Do I need a second modifier?

The most basic thing about HotkeyNet is that there are triggers and then there are actions. The two things are completely independent. The trigger is what you do with your hands to make the action happen. If you want to trigger an action by clicking the left mouse button while holding F6, then you need to declare F6 as a modifier. This has no effect on the action that the hotkey performs. That hotkey can type any keys or combinations of keys in any windows that you like. If you want to make another hotkey that gets triggered when you hold down some other key, then you need to declare that other key as a modifier.

When I press it, and click, nothing happens.

When you press a hotkey trigger, a chain of events takes place. When you say "nothing happens" I don't know where the chain breaks so I can't answer the question. I need more specific info, such as:

1. Did the hotkey definition get loaded? One of the ways you tell is by looking for red messages when the you load the hotkey file. You can also tell by pressing "Show loaded hotkeys" and looking for the definition.

2. When you press the trigger, does HotkeyNet show that the hotkey was pressed in the upper left corner of its main window?

3. Does HotkeyNet display (in black) the commands that the hotkey is supposed to perform?

4. Does HotkeyNet show red and/or blue messages that describe the results of the action? If so, what are they?

Do I have to add another function for the pressing of F6?

like

<UseKeyAsModifier F6>

<Hotkey F6 LButton>
<SendWinM WowAlt1>
<Key F6>
<ClickMouse LButton>

That definition says, "With my hands, I want to press the left mouse button while holding F6. Then I want HotkeyNet to type F6 in a WoW window and also click the left mouse button in that window." If that's what you want to do, then that's the right way to write that definition.

or do i have to use a separate key for the hotbar that I do for the mouse broadcasting? like

<UseKeyAsModifier F7>

<Hotkey F7 LButton>
<SendWinM WowAlt1>
<Key F6>
<ClickMouse LButton>

That definition says, "With my hands, I want to press the left mouse button while holding F7. Then I want HotkeyNet to type F6 in a WoW window and also click the left mouse button in that window." If that's what you want to do, then that's the right way to write that definition.

Once again, there is no connection between the trigger (what you do with your hands) and the action (what HotkeyNet does.) If you want to hold down F6 with your hand to make HotkeyNet type F6, you can do that. Or if you prefer to hold down F7 to make HotkeyNet type F6, you can do that too. The choice is yours.

I think the problem is in that when you select the spell in wow, you then get the ability to click to target. I dont think it had enough time to register the key press before the click went in. Sorry i wasn't more clear, it was late last night and I was tired. I think i need 2 actions, one to start the spell, and a second for the mouse trigger. I will report back with my results
