What is MS and how can I change it? Answered (With working AHK script you can use with Modifiers)

[Scott_Schlangen]

The script works but I am having this weird issue where after running it I have to hit escape twice until wow comes into focus and then I can cast spells again.

For instance when i select NPC and hold “3” down script runs, but lets say i pull 3 at one time. Sometimes I have to let go because the toon (Demonology - Warlock) will stop casting. I hit esc 2 times and then hold 3 the warlocks starts casting

Have you ever experienced that before?

[Elfyau]

I can’t say I have - do you play in full screen?

[Scott_Schlangen]

I play in Fullscreen - Borderless. I was thinking that as well, but in my video settings the only two options is windowed or full screen borderless. Its like its losing focus. I cant cast any abilities click or press but i hit esc and then esc again i get the system menu. I close that and then the toon will start casting.

It even happens in the middle of the fight. Something isnt right with something.

[Scott_Schlangen]

Could it be an addon possibly? I use zygor guides when i play i could try turning that off.

[Elfyau]

I don’t think it would be zygor I use that too it could be the screen I don’t honestly know that is the script I use the only difference I can see between us is that I play in windowed mode

I’m running a macro at 40ms. It tends to be so fast that when I try to press other abilities that are on the GCD it wont go off. Is there any way to make my manual presses override the macro?

[Elfyau]

not that I know of, best is to release the macro for a moment and press what you need then start the macro again

This worked for me. I do have a question. I run WoW in windowed mode and I have two accounts. I’m not always running them at the same time (2 instances of WoW on Windows 10) but I was just wondering if that messes up AHK at all. Do I need to close one instance of WoW in order for it to work? Does that makes sense?

[Elfyau]

I think it makes sense and to be honest i don’t know as far as I would suspect it should work fine with both.

[zoonets]

Just tested it, you are correct. It works just fine. I wasn’t sure if AHK was going looking at one WoW window over another. It doesn’t care. My monk is lvl 83, I’m going to test out your Windwalker macro. Thanks!

[Elfyau]

Awesome let me know how you go

[zoonets]

@Elfyau so right now, I’m running this AHK script and it’s for my 3 key on my action bar. In a few of your macros you have ST macro and an AOE macro. This leads me to believe that I need to have two AHK scripts running simultaneously - is that correct? One script for the ST macro that is bound to my 3 key and another script for the AOE macro that is bound to my 4 key? Is that right the right configuration? I just wanted some help understanding that. Thanks!

[Elfyau]

correst, to make another you would get the AHK script and change the 3’s to the other key you wan bound

[zoonets]

Ok cool, thanks for letting me know!

What if you have two scripts running on the same key? Will AHK freak out and crash? Haha, I suppose I could test that out. I’m just thinking, I have most of your macros running at 70ms but there are some others that folks run at different ms. Didn’t want to have two scripts firing off at same key.

Hi. Well i have a small problem with my macro on resto druid. I followed every step, replace the 3 with my keybind which is Q , but for some reason when i’m holding the Q is using shift too. I’ve double checked if the shift is pressed and is not, it’s something with the script or ? Thanks in advanced.

[Elfyau]

Hmmm not to sure whats up I will try and get one going soon

[m0rf0]

Wow. I have tried this option and it’s truly amazing, even with the overlay. Just brilliant. And you can set up the ms to something lower but not so low that your interrupts can’t get in between keystrokes and so.

My only concern is that this is a “toggle” script, not a “while X key is pressed” script. Won’t this look really close to a bit of Blizzard looks too close? I mean, I can literally leave this running in front of a dummy in Orgrimmar and leave for a coffee and will stay there going endlessly…

[Elfyau]

I personally don’t use the toggle option myself

[m0rf0]

I actually started using your example up above but then I thought I’d give the extended one a try, just to learn a bit. But it kinda scares me in terms of bending the rules too much, ha.

[zoonets]

do you think there are certain classes that would benefit from the toggle option more so than others? BM hunter for example? Just curious as to why you don’t use toggle
