Key binds for shields
Dont thinks so as when u hit the macro it would attemp to fire the powers at the same time which cant be done.
its not possible to activate two powers at the same time, the 2nd will always overide the first.
afaik the only way round it is to set 1 to auto then execute the other, once the 2nd power is up the 1st one will auto fire.
the bind for this would be
/bind X "powexec_auto Shield 1$$powexec_name Shield 2"
obviously replacing X for the key u want bound and shield 1/2 for the actually power names. If u wanted it as a macro just replace bind X with macro nameyouwanttocallit.
AHhh, it can be done, but requires some tricky stuff - check this out
/bind B "+down$$-down$$powexec_name Deflection Shield$$bind_load_file <filepath>\bubble-1.txt"
Then you need to save two files at <filepath>, bubble-0.txt and bubble-1.txt
bubble-0.txt
B "+down$$-down$$powexec_name Deflection Shield$$bind_load_file <filepath>\bubble-1.txt"
bubble-1.txt
B "+down$$-down$$powexec_name Insulation Shield$$bind_load_file <filepath>\bubble-0.txt"
This is for the defender/MM bubbles, but can easily be adapted for the others.
In no way do I take credit for this - it was, I think, Jetstream from my SG who came up with it.

i'll change my post to "theres no easy way to do it" then
thanks for the info Irradiator. think i will find it very useful.
Brilliant Irradiator, this'll come in handy for my bubbler.
So I'm guessing you could alter this to perform an entire attack chain? ¬¬
Nice....now put in teammate targetting with the numpad (so you press 1 and it targets teammate 1 and casts both shields on them) and you're sorted

Remember, I didn't come up with this! I think Jetstream (posts as Starfox) came up with this in the first place and understands the slash command system pretty well.
I know this method doesn't work with attacks for whatever reason.

Well thanks for the bind i tried it out and it half worked for me When activated it casts one shield twice. Has anyone else managed to try it out?
Figured it out i put the files too deep in the coh directory brought them to the c:\ and it works
Thanks so much for the help
i think it doesn't work on attacks because of the longer activation time, plus theres a slight delay (even with no lag) that means when using attacking powers if you press 2 buttons one after the other immediately it cancels the first attack and does the second
Don't know if this is explained but i know nothing about key binds.
Is it possible to create a bind or macro to activate both Fire Shield and Plasma Shield one after the other with a single key press.
I've tried but had no luck. Any help would be great thanks
