Help with a keybind

I tried to search for this but couldn't find it... sooooo, is there a way to get 3 actions from 1 keybind?

For example, being a buff-bot is kind of a pain in the backside at times, so I was hoping to ease my frustrations with something like this:

/bind F1 "team_select 1$$powexec_name Speed Boost$$powexec_name Increase Density"

Will that work or am I forever doomed to executing one power at a time? Any help with this would be absolutely fantastic.

Binds are limited to one power activation per bind. So, unfortunately, that bind will only fire off Increase Density.

Sorry, MrVacant.
The design of the game included prohibiting the making of bots. So the Devs decided that when it comes to binding and macros, you cannot activate two powers in one single keystroke or mouse click.

"The one thing that can stop a full team of MasterMinds dead in its tracks... a doorway!" --Frogfather

There are a few ways around this limitation, however. Some binds can activate toggle powers and still do execute a click-type power. Or . . .

(There are third-party products that allow you to program macros that will execute numerous commands. This mostly include game-type controllers and keyboards.)

Try this:

Create a binds folder on your computer (here I use C:\CoH_binds).

Create two text files and save them to your binds folder,

SB.txt, containing only the following line:
F1 "team_select1$$powexec_name Speed Boost$$bind_load_file C:\CoH_binds\ID.txt"

ID.txt, containing only the following line:
F1 "team_select1$$powexec_name Increase Density$$bind_load_file C:\CoH_binds\SB.txt"

In game, load the bind (just once for any character you want to use the binds on) by typing:
/bind_load_file C:\CoH_binds\SB.txt

SB.txt will take care of loading the other bind as soon as you press F1.

Now, the buff cast will alternate with each press of F1. Tap the key twice and you're alll set. A must have for bubblers, too.

He didn't ask for it to cycle. I'm assuming he's using a different key for each teammate; personally I use the number pad, but he may be using (for example) F1 through F8.

As far as setting a power on autofire, I find that a) it's unreliable and b) it means I can't have a power on autofire for my own use, so I prefer the double-tap method I outlined.

True about the cycling, I got that wrong, not saying that you were wrong. I just like to minimise the number of keys used and txt files created to accomplish a goal.

Thats why I suggested the combination of NUMPAD and bindload. LOL and I just thought that you can use the same for the F1 and F2 keys thus freeing up F3 to F8 for other binds.

File SB.txt:
F2 "powexecname Speed Boost$$bindloadfile C:\CoH_binds\ID.txt"

File ID.txt:
F2 "powexecname Increased Density$$bindloadfile C:\CoH_binds\SB.txt"

/bindloadfile C:\CoH_binds\SB.txt
/bind F1 "targetcustomnext teammate"

Tap F1, double tap F2. Repeat.

Not helpful to select a team member directly but you can click them with the mouse and double tap F2 in a fight.

Never used this myself but saw it in the big 'We hate SB thread...'

/bind alt+lbutton "powexec_name speed boost"

Which means when you hold alt down and (double?) click on a team mates name in the team list you will cast SB (not sure about the double click as I say not done this myself). To slove the OP's question I'd add:

/bind alt+rbutton "powexec_name increase density"

You could also do this through a popmenu, but I think that might be a little over the top unless you desperately need to know...

I've tried incorporating the teamselect into my binds, but have not been able to get it to work the way I want (cycle through team list). I even tried it in a rotating bind (one key cycles through the team list), but it always got hung up at whatever point in the list I was at.... since I couldn't target myself, the command couldn't complete and move on to the next.

Sooooo.... currently I am using the default team select (shift + number) plus these nifty binds...

I do have some powers set to fire on a downpress/release. One power fires on the downpress, the other on the release. The trick is to use the "+" in combination with the "toggleon" command. It can force a click power to behave like a toggle power within the command string. Here are some examples:

"+ $$powexec_toggleon Aim$$powexec_toggleon Build Up"
"+ $$powexec_toggleon Nova$$powexec_toggleon Conserve Power"
"+ $$powexec_toggleon Increase Density$$powexec_toggleon Speed Boost"

The last power in the string will fire first on the downpress. Then, since they are being labled as "toggles" the next power will fire on the release.

For doing this with powers that ARE toggles (not clicks), you may need to work the toggleoff command into the string.
"+ $$powexec_toggleoff spring$$powexec_toggleoff combat jumping$$powexec_toggleon spring$$powexec_toggleon combat jumping"

IOW, to make the first down/up turn stuff on, and the second down/up turn stuff off. I understand several folks with Keld builds do this for switching between forms, though I don't know if I have the right of it.

NOTE: It is necessary to use a "paused press" technique with these binds. Else, if the release is too quick, it will just que up the last power again.

Here is some info I came across while looking into this sometime back:
