Hi,
thank you vermy much for this great guide. It is really noob friendly ;)
Now, I got so far that I hit Alt 4 and I get the message Multibox 1 focusing (my tank). But my characters do not follow my tank. If I go on follow manually with every character and I attack a target at least my warlock attacks with me and my priest helas me. My two level 1 mages do nothing at all. May be the level one fire bolt is missing somewhere in an attack list?
In any case I am quite confused because it works half way.
Thanks in advance
Jens
AHHHH! Works perfectly! Fury you are a genius!
Super Easy! The only thing you are missing is also forcing Command Button4 to send an Alt-4 to all windows in addition to F10.
Example:
<Hotkey ScrollLockOn Button5>
<SendFocusWin>
<Key f10>
<SendLabel w1,w2,w3,w4,w5>
<Key Alt 4>
Remember that the focus/follow genius is a combo of two buttons--F10 in the window where your mouse is, and Alt-4 in every window.
This works perfectly, and now my 5th mouse button also does focus/follow.
But I like alt-4
Is there any way to remap the Alt 4 Focus/Follow to say a Mouse button instead? I've tried manipulating the HKN_4man_non4kmonitor.txt where Alt 4 is used to Focus/Follow to say Mouse Button 3 or Mouse Button 4 but it doesn't seem to work and only wants a key. I'm getting insane hand cramps trying to press Alt 4 all the time and would find the mouse to be easier if possible. Have you experimented with this or does it have to be a keybind?
Edit: I was able to get Focus to work. I didn't read the error correctly in hotkey net. I had to change <Key Alt 4> to <Command Button4>. Still can't get follow to work though. I'm digging all through the HKN and SM_Extend but I'm a bit stumped at the moment.
Uuuuhhhhh it works. Thanks for the help.
SO Sorry. IsControlKeyDown() Not IsCtrlKeyDown()
I did some more testing today to narrow down the issue. I got a fresh install and tried the macro without any addon at all. Just used the vanilla macro options available.
After that I put in Supermacro as the only addon and tried again same result.
My last try was a Supermacro version from a different source with your Extend.lua in it and well same error message.
Yeah but unfortunately only while typing off the error message...
So, I guess we need to find a long answer.
The short answer is you have a typo in your macro
There are easy fixes for these issues. I'm on the road but I will get back to you
First, I am happy that I finally got what this script actually does. Binding several key combinations on one macro icon is quite fancy. Problem is it gives me an error back ^^
[string "If is CtrlKeyDown() then cast("<your mount n..."):l: attempt to call global ÃŒsCtrlKeyDown' (a nil value)
Once I saw that I got a fresh copy and put only the addons out of your folder in and made the neccessary adjustments. Still the same result.
By the way in your turorial video you show how you can position your group with the One key and only your meele toons follow you into the fight. Couldn't figure that one out as well. I am currently using arrow down to position them as I only use ranged DD.
I hope you are still engaged with all my problems ;)
Thanks
Jens
Put this macro in 4 and you will be up and running
/script if IsCtrlKeyDown() then cast("<your mount name>") elseif IsAltKeyDown() then follow_assist() else turbo() end
I am very happy about your project to help us to get multiboxing. No need to feel sorry to take it easy ;)
Now the first thing is that with frostbolt the issue with the mages resolved itself. They do their job now.
And I did get the multiboxing to work while randomly trying out stuff. So I wrote a macro with /script follow_assist() an put it on shift 5. When I hit the macro nothing happens. If I hit Alt 4 I get the message Multibox 1 focussing (name of my tank) and the toons shout that they have no focus. So something is indeed going wrong with Alt 4. But, if I use my macro now and hit shift 5 they all follow my tank and attack it's target. This work around works fine but I really would like to know what is going wrong and figure out what your script does.
Looking at your hint I checked the SM_Extend.lua and in line 2158 I found the entry: if IsAltKeyDown() and not IAmFocus() then follow_assist() Accept() return end
within the turbo function. Do I need to change this function to get the Alt 4 key combo to work?
Thanks
Jens
PS. Hope you get Geddon next time. Your raid multiboxing is really impressive.
Very sorry I'm so late getting back to you! I saw this post land, but I was on Baron Geddon at that moment, and forgot to come back to you. (wiped at 27%)
My guide has an error in it.
Your 4 key really should have this:
/script if IsCtrlKeyDown() then cast("<your mount name>") elseif IsAltKeyDown() then follow_assist() else turbo() end
