quick Hasten bind question

will this work?

bind x "powexec_toggle_off Dark Nova$$goto_tray 1$$powexecname
Hasten$$powexec_toggle_on Dark Nova$$goto_tray 9"

or

bind x "powexec_toggle_off Dark Nova$$powexecname
Hasten$$powexec_toggle_on Dark Nova" even if Hasten does not exist on tray 9.

basically I want to come out of Nova only to hit Hasten and go right back into Nova.
Will either of the above binds work? Is there a better way? Is this even possible with a single button push?

I just leave mine control clicked and it fires off when I go to human form.


If you PL'd to 50 just to get an "epic" thinking you'd be �ber, you're going to be sorely disappointed with the HEATs, because the VEATs were designed so that anyone with one good finger and a braincell can rock the toggles.

that is what I have been doing as well, however, that is bad because when I travel between mish doors in human form it is not "ready for use" when I enter the new mish.

I believe the binds you listed will flash too fast for hasten to kick in but thats just a guess.

It could very well also hinder getting back to squid form if hasten does in fact fire off.

While I love the forms, I just have to ask why you would spend all of your time in squid form when that gives up alot in both control and self buffs?

If your speaking from a low level Kheldian (pre 20's) perspective it makes more sense, and in that case the question is retracted.

Ok, this will toggle off dark nova instantly. After that, it gets fuzzy. It will go to tray 1, then queue up hasten, then queue up Dark Nova, then go to tray 9 all so fast that the only thing that will happen is that you go into Nova form and end up on tray 9. The queuing up of hasten doesn't actually happen.

This will toggle off Nova, then toggle on Nova. Just like the last one, except without the tray swapping.

Can't be done. The bind/macro system is built to avoid people being able to automate their play experience, and as such, you can only activate one power in one bind. It always activates the last power in the bind because the speed it goes through the macro. "Queue up three attacks in a row, but the first two were hit so quickly that they didn't actually have time to queue up."


Where to now?

Ok. Thank you everyone. I was afraid this might be the case. No biggie, it will be three clicks instead of one.

FYI yes this was only until I get the Dwarf (which at the pace I'm lvling right now might be a while).

You can still make a bind to toggle off Nova and click Hasten so you should be able to do two clicks not one (I think)
