anyone have a bind for ice shield?

Hey guys, feel kinda embarrassed to ask this, but I'm horrible with binds.

I want to bind ice shield, glacial shield and frost works to the numbad. So if I press 1 it would put ice shield on player one, shift and 1 for glacial and ctrl 1 for frost works.

If someone could just give me an example of it that would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

If you lay down and give up you have no one to blame but yourself. If you stand up and fight you'll have no one to blame because you've already won.

I don't have the solution for what you specifically asked for, but this is what I do:

I bind the numpad 1-8 keys to select teammates 1-8, then bind the surrounding keys like 0 and . to some tray slots, and put the allies-only powers there.

The binding can be done in the options window.

I use the Numberpad keys myself:

/bind Numpad1 "team_select 1$$powexec_name Ice Shield"
/bind Numpad2 "team_select 2$$powexec_name Ice Shield"
...etc. through Numpad8...
/bind Numpad9 "powexec_name <insert other shield power name here>"

You usually have to hit each key twice to get the power to work, but it's still quick.

I've also use the - and + keys on the numberpad, You must bind "Add" or "Subtract" for it to work.

Thanks for your responses guys, that is exactly what I was looking for.

For shift and numpad would it look like this:
/bind shift+numpad1 etc..


thanks for all your help!!!!

If you lay down and give up you have no one to blame but yourself. If you stand up and fight you'll have no one to blame because you've already won.

The binds you would need are:

/bind numpad# "teamselect #$$powexecname Ice Shield"
/bind LShift+numpad# "teamselect #$$powexecname Glacial Shield"
/bind Lctrl+numpad# "teamselect #$$powexecname Frostworks"

Obviously you would need to replace numpad# and # with the apporpriate numbers 1-8.

Thanks again for all the help guys! Going to save these so I have them on hands to adapt to all my toons.

I use these:

numpad2 "unselect$$teamselect 2"
numpad3 "unselect$$teamselect 3"
numpad4 "unselect$$teamselect 4"
numpad5 "unselect$$teamselect 5"
numpad6 "unselect$$teamselect 6"
numpad7 "unselect$$teamselect 7"
numpad8 "unselect$$teamselect 8"
numpad9 "unselect$$targetcustomnext mypet <petnamehere>"

divide "powexecname Ice Shield"
multiply "powexecname Glacial Shield"
subtract "powexecname Frostwork"

Do those work reliably? I remember *way* back when I first set up my binds that often you'd have to press the bind key twice before it actually fired the power (like, the first press selected the teammate, the second fired the power).

If that's not the case anymore, I'm off to update my binds

(if it is still the case, one workaround is to add a "+ $$" to the front, i.e. "/bind numpad# "+ $$teamselect #$$powexecname Ice Shield". It creates a bit of error spam as a side effect though)

Those are some very nice binds. I didn't realize there was an 'unselect' command

would this work? Or is trying to do too much?

/bind Numpad1 "team_select 1$$powexec_name Ice Shield$$powexecname Glacial Shield"

No, it won't work. You can only bind one power to a key, and using a target command and a power command in the same bind can lead to irregular behavior. Sometimes it targets and doesn't buff, sometimes it fails to target, sometime it works correctly, sometimes it doesn't do any thing.

---

U need to cycle bind folders as u hit a key multiple times for it to fire a different buff on the same target, using the same key. makes for buffing team with multi shields easy stuff.

bindloader:
numpad1 "unselect$$team_select 1$$powexec_name Insulation field$$bind_load_file c:\binds\ff\ID1.txt"
numpad2 "unselect$$team_select 2$$powexec_name Insulation field$$bind_load_file c:\binds\ff\ID2.txt"
numpad3 "unselect$$team_select 3$$powexec_name Insulation field$$bind_load_file c:\binds\ff\ID3.txt"
numpad4 "unselect$$team_select 4$$powexec_name Insulation field$$bind_load_file c:\binds\ff\ID4.txt"
numpad5 "unselect$$team_select 5$$powexec_name Insulation field$$bind_load_file c:\binds\ff\ID5.txt"
numpad6 "unselect$$team_select 6$$powexec_name Insulation field$$bind_load_file c:\binds\ff\ID6.txt"
numpad7 "unselect$$team_select 7$$powexec_name Insulation field$$bind_load_file c:\binds\ff\ID7.txt"
numpad8 "unselect$$team_select 8$$powexec_name Insulation field$$bind_load_file c:\binds\ff\ID8.txt"
numpad0 "powexec_name Insulation field$$bind_load_file c:\binds\ff\IDall.txt"

ID1 file:
NUMPAD1 "unselect$$team_select 1$$powexec_name Deflection shield$$bind_load_file c:\binds\ff\SB1.txt"

SB1 file:
Numpad1 "unselect$$team_select 1$$powexec_name insulation shield$$bind_load_file c:\binds\ff\ID1.txt"

and so forth for all the keys. In the end u will have 20 files in the binds folder and the game will switch key binds on the fly as u press the numpad keys. ill email the zip file to u if u like and u open them into a bind file.

Same here. Very nice. Now I'll no longer buff the same person twice because I don't realize teamselect X failing due to me being teammate X.
