Keybind macros for on the fly "leader" swapping. Questions.

[HTeam]

I suppose you could tell keyclone to not pass wasd. Then whichever window has focus would get them and nothing else. You'd have to override every time you wanted to chat (or just not use the letters wasd when you type).

I know focus works for targetting. and i hadnt though about not getting raid leader in BGs, all macros went back using focus, one macro using [nodead] to swap to the first guy in line who is alive. But my complaint was movement. I'm trying out hotkeynet now.

There are a number of ways of changing key behavior in HKN on the fly.

HKN allows you to use scrolllock, capslock and numlock as toggles (This is the way I do it)

For example

<Hotkey scrollockon F1> 
<sendPC local> 
<sendWin wow1> 
<key F1> 
<Hotkey scrolllockoff F1> 
<sendPC local> 
<sendWin wow1> 
<key CTRL F1>

so if scrollock is on, then key F1 is passed to wow1, if it is off then key CTRL-F1 is passed. you have F1 as a heal and CTRL F1 as dps (Just an example)

I actually use it for a few things, capslock on means my priest joins dps, scrolllockon means only use shadow spells

I have had a disagreement with one of the mods and my accounts keep getting banned......I may get bored of opening new accounts/using proxies etc......so if you want HKN support then you might want to PM Freddie, who is VERY supportive and happy to answer questions (www.hotkeynet.com)

Ok I see. This might not be what you would do but I have my key for moving backward on my main set as the down arrow (I don't use the WASD keys myself) then I have my alts set as (ctrl + down arrow) to move back. This way I can halt the progress of them with my main without losing follow or if I use the alternative, I halt the progress of all and break follow allowing me to use my main to get behind a target. You can bind that (ctrl + down arrow) to a programmable key if you wanted but for me the ctrl and the down arrow are less than 3 inches apart so it seems to work out well for me.

As a hunter group, I use the backwards keys a lot once my pets gain aggro to get into firing range again.

Again... I do things totally different... just offering alternatives

I'm one of those "old fashioned" people, using the /follow Party1 and /assist Party1 macro types.
However, I'm looking at updating my macros, and I'm thinking about using something like this:

/follow Party1, NoDead
/stopmacro
/follow Party2, Nodead
/stopmacro

etc etc..and the same for assist of course.. But I can't seem to get it working.. Any idea on where I'm going wrong?

[Krumbly]

I think it needs to be something like this

/follow [target=party1,nodead]

/stopmacro [target=party1,nodead']

mmmmh.....but would this work?

/follow [target=party1,nodead] [target=party2,nodead] [target=party3,nodead] [target=party4,nodead]



I think it would

/follow [target=party1,nodead] [target=party2,nodead] [target=party3,nodead] [target=party4,nodead]

Actually it didn't... I only get "unknown Unit" messages when I try that.. Didn't try the first one with the stopmacro command though

[fantasypants]

thought id throw my follow setup out there

i use this on my quad team, switch focus with one key+modifier

button#1
/focus [modifier:lshift]player2; [modifier:lctrl]player3; [modifier:lalt]player4; player1


button#2
/follow focus
