Dualboxing, Dualsend, Command 2 instances from one instance

hey everyone, I've been dualboxing with 2 accounts and I want to be able to send commands from one window. I've been reading about dualsend but it seems that it's outdated. And I'm under the impression that gearswap MIGHT do what I want.

Basically I wanna be able to do something like

//user2 /ma cure <me>

or // user2 /ma fire <t>

User2 being the second instance, with the commands being sent from the first. I'm not trying to create a bot, just a way to be able to send text commands to my other character without having to alt-tab into the other instance. Any help would be appreciated.

You're looking for the send addon. Then you can just do //send user2 /ma cure <me>. Note that <t> isn't processed by the send addon, but <me> is; so <me> means the sending character not the receiving character, but <t> means the target of the receiving character instead. If you want the target of the sending character you'll need to work around this with //send user2 /as <me>, to sync up both character's targets.

Cool, so I got //send working and it's doing exactly what I want it too. but the issue i'm having now is I cant find a way to macro a //send command.

Example Alt+1 //send char2name /ma cure char1name

While this works directly typing into ffxi input, it doesn't work with FFXI macros, or //console exec macro.txt  with txt files saying something along the lines of

input //send char2name ma cure <me> 

Just to clarify, I can however use a macro.txt file that has a normal command such as

input /ma cure <me>

So I know I'm using this sort of macro right.

Any ideas?

Try  this in a macro:

/console send char2name /ma cure <me>

Hell yeah, that worked man! Thank you! I've tried so many combos! You've saved the day!

Rather than start a new post...

Is there anywhere to find documentation for syntax for Send?  I'm looking for a way to include multiple commands on a single macro line with waits in-between basically..

EX: /console send Altname fire5, wait 3, fire3

There's no simple way to send multiple commands with a single send command, you'll need to create an alias on the receiving instance //alias alias_name fire5;wait 3;fire3; and then do /console send Altname //alias_name. alternatively you can use multiple send commands in your macro /console send Altname fire5;wait 3;send Altname fire3
