    Did you do anything special to trigger it? We've all just tried and none of us can replicate it.

    I don't think so. This is the only thing I did:

    1) Hold hurricane on BM
    2) Alt-Tab into another window

    In the video I alt-tabbed into another client, but I just tried it and it works if I alt-tab into any other window.

    If I click on BM's client again and click out it stops. If I click on BM's client and don't do anything it still shoots. If I click on BM's client and alt-tab out it still shoots.

    I tried opening two clients and sometimes the other client would let my other character move after I logged in the other one, maybe thats the same for you?

    Maybe click the desktop and try to click the game and try to use Hurricane again.

    Yea I believe it has to do with somehow MapleLegends remaining "active" after you alt-tab (as opposed to clicking out the window). This is probably why the alt-tab hurricane still works. But someone else I know also tried what I did and they weren't able to replicate it either.

    The window staying active when its actually no longer active would be marked as an exploit then, thus this method is against the ToS, since its no longer normal behaviour of the game client.

    I'm not sure the conditions for when it triggers, but sometimes randomly, my background clients would move. I'm not sure if anyone has *exploited* this behavior for farming though. Usually my mules just jump off a rope and suicide.

    You can recreate the 'moving multiple clients at once' thing quite easily (at least, for me) One way of doing it is the following:
    1. Have one client be open (I'm not entirely sure whether it has to be focused or unfocused)
    2. Open a second client, log in.
    3. Anytime I move on the 'new' client, it will also move on the client I previously had open. This also scales with opening a third or fourth client, so theoretically I'd be able to make 4-5 clients walk around at once.

    It's not something you could effectively 'abuse', though. The only thing that has really happened to me as a result of it, is walking 5 leeching mules to their death in one smooth motion.

    We've found out that this was caused/done by a 3rd party program, thus is marked as an exploit/hacking tool if used explicitly for the sake to AFK hurricane. Marked as not a bug, and for those reading it please do not try to figure out which 3rd party tool it is, since it'll be a bannable offence. However, do not worry about being punished for using the 'tool' with normal usage.
