My first-release script is a work-in-progress (WIP) of course; so, I'll gladly take suggestion on how to improve the coding/abilities.
OK, time to get into the setup.
1) First thing, you will need to accounts for Guild Wars, and also two PCs. Granted, you might be able to re-write this in a way as to work on one PC but with a normal install of Guild Wars you can only run one copy at a time.
2) You will need the follow script loaded for your main PC/Group Leader:
- Code: Select all
//===========================================================================================
// "2 Guild Wars, 2 Pcs" HotkeyNet script r1.0.0 (Release)
//
// "Leader Script"
//
// Written by Jonathon (Florack on HotkeyNet.com forums)
//
// Requirements:
// * HotkeyNet build 161 or higher
//
// Toggle the Scroll Lock key to turn hotkeys off and on.

//-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<Hotkey ScrollLockOn LAlt LButton, MButton, RButton, Button4, Button5>
<SendLabel w1, w2>
<ClickMouse %TriggerMainKey%>
(This next step is mentioned within the script itself but I'll mention it again)
3) On your main PC/group leader; go to "Menu", then "Options", then "Control" tab, then scroll down to "Targeting: Part Member - 2" and type the new key to be: . (the bound "key" is a period).
4) You will need this script for your secondary PC/character:
- Code: Select all
//===========================================================================================

//
// "Secondary Character Script"
//

(This next step is mentioned within the script itself but I'll mention it again)
5) On your secondary PC/character; go to "Menu", then "Options", then "Control" tab, then scroll down to "Targeting: Part Member - 1" and type the new key to be: . (the bound "key" is a period).
6) Now, all you should have to do is load the leader script on your main PC, load the secondary character script on the other computer, then log in and form a group with your two characters.
Now, there is one slight "hitch" when it comes to getting the the other character (weather you are on your main and want the alt to follow; or you are on your alt and want your main to follow) is that it uses a combination of the "target party member" keybinding and then the space bar.
For this to work 100%, when you are on a particular character and running make sure to hit another directional key real quick as well.
What I mean is: if you are running forward with W (or "up" key), quickly pres (and release) the A [for example] and your other character will start following. This however won't do anything at a short range.
If you notice and errors, have any ideas, etc. please feel free to respond.
March 30, 2009; 12:43AM Changes:
- No real changes; formatted the code slightly different and - sense there seams to be no issues - I updated the scripts to 1.0 release.
March 23, 2009; 05:16PM Changes:
- No changes to the actual script; just added a copies of the scripts as text files for easier download.
March 20, 2009; 11:04PM Changes:
- Simplified code sense Guild Wars seems to like renaming it's windows back to defaults.
- Both script versions bumped up to 0.3 (WIP)
March 18, 2009; 12:04AM Changes:
- Corrected a couple typos within the "secondary character/PC" script
- Both script versions bumped up to 0.2 (WIP)
I'm still learning, lol. When I get a chance, I'll run your script and try it out at home. In the meantime, I'm working on something completely different, which I hope will come to fruition soon.
