So, I guess I'll start from the beginning -

First time getting into multiboxing, Looking to run just 2 characters (main and a follower).

I downloaded HKN as well as an updated script for BFA. The script appears to be a cookie cutter scrip that a lot of people use.

My goal, is to use HKN to herb with an additional character.




On my laptop I opened 2 separate copies of WOW - my account and my sons account. I created a new lvl 1 warlock on each account. I'll call them "Lock 1 (my acct) and "Lock 2" (my son's acct).

I opened HKN, loaded the script (it had no errors). Put both open wow clients in window mode so I could see what HKN was doing in the background.


Once both screens were open - Lock 1 on my external monitor and Lock 2 on my laptop monitor, I highlighted, or targeted the open window of my main - Lock 1. Next I hit Ctrl R twice to change the window names to WOW1 and WOW2 (which it did). WOW1 being my main screen and WOW 2 being the follower.
Then, I created a couple of macros for the follower -
1.
/follow Lock 1

2.
#showtooltip (I tried this macro with and without "#showtooltip)
/assist Lock 1
/cast Shadow Bolt


These macros were placed on his action bar in spot 1 and 2.


Moving back over to my main character on WOW1, I put Shadow Bolt in spot 1.

When i turn on HKN (scroll lock) none of my keys do anything but HKN registers the input and even displays the text in blue that the command was sent to WOW1 and WOW2 but the follower does nothing. Also I use a Naga trinity and Naga Tartarus.




Here is the script.
