Key broadcasting to multiple WoW instances.

[mastershake]

Hey all Ive gotten my code to work for sending my key presses to one instance of World of Warcraft. But, Im trying to get it to send the same key press to multiple wow windows with controlsend().

The reason behind this is for multi-boxing. It's just to send key presses to each character with one keyboard. I know I could just pay for a $20 pre written program for this, but the nut in me says to write it myself. Ive read a bunch of past posts and the help file but Im stumped on this one.

thanks in advance.

MS

$answer = MsgBox(4, "Hawk Keys", "Start Hawk Keys key broadcaster?")

HotKeySet("{PAUSE}", "Terminate")
HotKeySet("d", "ShowMessage")

If $answer = 7 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Hawk Keys", "Later!")
    Exit
EndIf


While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func ShowMessage()

ControlSend( "World of Warcraft", "", "", "d" )
sleep(300)



EndFunc

; Finished!

Func Terminate()
    MsgBox(3, "Hawk Keys", "Do you really want to quite?" )
    Exit
EndFunc

How do you start more then one WOW instance? And how do you rename them? Thanks for the info. This question has been bugging me for awhile.

depends on the extent I would believe. I have heard of people 4 or 5 boxing using voice recognition/command software. those are sorta like keymapping or voice-activated macros, but without relooking at the TOS, unless it completely automates the game (like fishing bots), I don't think it will get u banned.
