Fly/Hover/Off bind confusion...

Hey I've been doing my homework in the Player Guides section, but I'm still a little confused.

I'm trying to get Fly/Hover/off all on one key.

From the Guides:

That second bind will not work, and the first one will probably be unreliable. Instead of powexec_name, you should use powexec_toggleon and powexec_toggleoff.

You can use powexecname, but you can only use 2 in the command if you want it to work right.

I use:
/bind KEY "powexename Hover$$powexecname Fly"

If you are not flying at all, pressing KEY will make you [Fly].
If you are [Fly]ing, pressing KEY will make you [Hover].
If you are [Hover]ing, pressing KEY will make you [Fly].

If you want to turn off [Hover] or [Fly], simply double-tap KEY quickly.

If you want to learn more about setting up things like this automatically, search the forum for "Speed on Demand". It's possible to make it automatically enable [Fly] while you are moving forward, and switching back to [Hover] when you stop.

And yes.. if you want it to automatically turn off Sprint when you enable your [Fly], then add "powexectoggleoff Sprint$$" to the beginning of the command line, not powexecname.

Another workaround to turning off your [Fly] and also going back into [Sprint] mode would be to:
/bind shift+KEY "powexectoggleoff Fly$$powexectoggleoff Hover$$powexectoggleon Sprint"

Then you simply press the same key with the shift to disable your flying and turn on Sprint as well.

Tapping twice will get me where I want to be? (on the ground)

That's incredibly easy, what a waste of time & effort looking for another way!

I used "F" as a key example, replace this with whatever you want to use. c:\binds\hoveron.txt Quote: F "powexectoggleon Hover$$c:\binds\bindloadfile flyon.txt" c:\binds\flyon.txt Quote: F "powexectoggleon Fly$$c:\binds\bindloadfile hoverflyoff.txt" c:\binds\hoverflyoff.txt Quote: F "powexectoggleoff Hover$$powexectoggleoff Fly$$c:\binds\hoveron.txt" When in-game, type /bindloadfile hoveron.txt to start the rotation. If you don't want to mess with bind files, you cannot do it with the same key. You can have one key for Fly/Hover switching, a la /bind F "powexecname Fly$$powexecname Hover" and then a second key to turn them off. /bind SHIFT+F "powexectoggleoff Fly$$powexectoggleoff Hover"

I keep all of my travel powers on my f key. For Flying, I use this:

Code:

f "powexectoggleoff Sprint$$powexecname Fly$$powexecname Hover"
lshift+f "powexecname Sprint"
lctrl+f "powexectoggleoff Zero-G Pack$$powexectoggleoff Raptor Pack"
lalt+f "powexectoggleoff Hover$$powexectoggleoff Fly"

I change the Fly and Hover to Super Jump and Combat Jumping for that travel power, and just have Superspeed with Sprint for that one, since Hasten or Flurry don't really work for travel.

ctrl+f always turns off the temp travel powers, and I add in the Goldbricker pack for my villains, while alt+f always turns off all travel powers completely. So for all my characters except teleporters, all my travel powers work exactly the same way, making it easier to switch back and forth.
