Useful multi-boxing macros

[Chiea]

Is there anyway for me to get my priest (secondary character) to stop following before she casts her heal on my warrior (my main)?

[hapiguy314]

Legitimate answer. No. You would have to press a directional arrow (WASD or your directional arrows) to stop her from AFing and then cast your heal.

Borderline answer (grey area) is to use something like what Nostromo's package has. When assigning a macro, have the first line as Forward (or Backward) and the 2nd line of the macro as the Action Key (1 to =) for the heal.

A lot of people use nostromo. And to use nostromo, you have to use their software package - so the nostromo software package is not bannable. Part of their software package is a macro recorder. This is doable in the G15 also. If you're controlling ur character to do this, it's not botting. It's when you don't pay attention to your character and it does it still is what's considered botting.

Hmm, can you script AHK so that for example, pressing "Shift + 4" on my main window would be pressing "W" and then "Shift + 4" on my secondary window?

Yes, but doing this code in AHK is some beast I really do not want to touch with a 40 foot pole. AHK is a huge grey area for me as it is let alone doing this key stroke combination you request

It's too dangerous for me to promote in these forums using AHK. Honestly, you should just use a key like "`" (beside #1) to broadcast only on your priest to break autofollow. And then press Shift + 4 to do your charge.

All my toons have 'w' as step back.. before I charge with my war I just take a step back and they break /follow and stay where I left them. They can do their dps/heals and I hold agro. When done I hit ` which is a macro on toons to start following again.

Hi again,, Just thought i'd post a couple of WoW ingame macros which i use,, basically they are set on my shammies so that when i press a number on my main(mage), the shammies execute the macro for that key..

the macros are your basic run of the mill Attackassist, Follow, healself , and heal target(PS , use Healbot on main and set Target,, thats what i do,, so i can quickly choose a target by clicking the healbot then through the AHK script i can tell my shammies to heal that target simply by pressing the middle mouse button, its veryu efiiciant, u just need to make an allowance to any latency that u have).. Anyway..heres the macros


Assist>>>>>>>>>just change the names and spell..(remember all need to be grouped for this to work properly)

/assist [target=doc, nodead] [target=lice, nodead] [target=tiç, nodead] [target=toç, nodead] [target=toyz, nodead]
/focus target
/stopmacro [target=focus, noexists]
/target target
/startattack
/petattack
/cast Frostbolt(Rank 2)

Follow>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

/stand
/target [target=doc] [target=lice] [target=tiç] [target=toç] [target=toyz]
/follow target

Healtarget>>>>>>>>>>>Remember i use healBot addone to pick a target(group member) to heal on the go,, i'e HealBot on the main(mage) screen is up where i can moniter the groups helth. if one of the groups health gets too low then i click healbot and target that char/toon.. then cast this macro which i've bound to my Middle mouse button through the AHK script>>>>>>>>>

/assist [target=doc, nodead] [target=lice, nodead] [target=tiç, nodead] [target=toç, nodead] [target=toyz, nodead]
/cast [target=target, help] Healing Wave(Rank 2)
/target [target=focus]

HealSelf>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

/target player
/cast Healing Wave(Rank 2)
/target [target=focus]

HealMain>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>My main is named Doc..so just change that name to your main..

/target Doc
/cast Healing Wave(Rank 2)
/target [target=focus]


I hope these help..

I'm still playing with this, but figured I'd post it so others can see it, comment, improve, whatever. This is a CC macro that I have used on the fly when my main is a little too preoccupied and can't pre-target the mobs for the CCing toon. It isn't fool proof but here it is.
This is based on setting my MT as the focus and everyone assisting the focus.

/assist focus
/targetenemy (like pressing Tab to scroll nearest enemy)
/cast *CC Spell*

This macro is very conditional. It relies on the focus having more than 1 mob attacking them and the CCing toon to be in close proximity of the focus. (did that make sense :? )

This is semi-reliable and does fail sometimes, but I'm still tweeking it.

you can use this then there is no use to use the /assist stuff:

/cast [target=focustarget]Bubblegum;

Ah, Grasshopper. There is still use for /assist macros. Many of us use conditionals like /stopmacro [noharm] to cancel casting or do other things when needed. Take the following macro as an example:

# basic warlock spam
/assist focus
/stopmacro [noharm]
/castsequence [modifier:alt] drain life; reset=combat/target corruption, curse of agony, drain life, drain life, drain life

Or this one:

# pet attack unless no target on assist
/assist focus
/cast [modifier:alt] summon voidwalker
/stopmacro [noharm]
/petattack

This second macro works around a problem with the /petattack mechanic. Specifically, if you have nothing targeted but there is a neutral or hostile and attackable mob in front of you, it will auto-target the nearest one and engage the pet. This is a problem in that you rarely want to have things automagically targeting due to LOS issues or other problems.

My idea behind that macro was to switch targets to a target other than what the focus has targeted, as long as they're attacking the focus and close enough to be picked up by executing the "target nearest enemy" function. This macro will in essence, tab to the next nearest target after having the focus' target targeted, then cast a CC spell on that target. I have my keyboard set up with another assist macro that brings the CCing toon back on the focus' target. It is very conditional, but it's been working pretty descent so far. I've had 2 Dalaran Shield Guards on my paladin and feared the add that wasn't the paladin's target. Done this with Hibernate on my druid too. The main condition is that the CCing toon must have a target targetted (the focus' target), which will allow the CCing toon to target the nearest enemy to the focus' target, i.e. the add.
