Bubble bind help

I'm having trouble getting some binds to work right. I have an Earth/FF troller, and I want to bind his shields to the number pad. I want to be able to press 1 on the number pad, and select teammate in the #1 spot and cast both shields with each press. Anyone able to help me out? I'd be happy if I could get it to work by pressing 1 twice in a row to cast both shields.

I don't know how you would get the 1 key to target and cast both powers.

However, Here is an example of how I have my Numpad set up for my Support Kin.

NUMPAD1 "team_select 1$$powexec_name_speed_boost"
NUMPAD2 "team_select 2$$powexec_name_speed_boost"
NUMPAD3 "team_select 3$$powexec_name_speed_boost"
NUMPAD4 "team_select 4$$powexec_name_speed_boost"
NUMPAD5 "team_select 5$$powexec_name_speed_boost"
NUMPAD6 "team_select 6$$powexec_name_speed_boost"
NUMPAD7 "team_select 7$$powexec_name_speed_boost"
NUMPAD8 "team_select 8$$powexec_name_speed_boost"

DECIMAL "powexec_name Speed Boost"
NUMPAD0 "powexec_name Increased Density"


I haven't played her in quite awhile and even I was having issues with just selecting and casting one power. It was hit or miss so I moved SB to DECIMAL and moved Increased Density to NUMPAD0.

NUMPAD1-NUMPAD8 selects Teammate and Decimal and NUMPAD0 get them buffed.

If there is a way to combine it all on NUMPAD1-NUMPAD8 I would also love to know how.

Adding +$$ to the front of the bind will run it upon key press and key release allowing the sb bind to work better. As for 2 powers with one bind you'd need to set one to auto and the other to run. You can't make 2 powers activate with one bind.

Thanks for the input guys. I'll see if I can figure something out.

Only way, really, to have one key do both powers would be with doing bind_load_file tricks.

On the flip side, with +$$, you MIGHT be able to get both powers off on one keystroke. Not sure though.

With a single command string, it would never happen with those two powers. Being a click power, the last power will always interrupt the first, whether it's in the process of being activated or even still recharging. I think the only case the first one would fire is if the second one was EX'd out, but then you still wouldn't have both at once anyway. lol

As far as doing it in one keystroke.. I agree that bind files are certainly the answer. Try the following:

file1.txt
numpad1 "+$$teamselect 1$$powexecname Deflection_Shield$$bindloadfilesilent file2.txt"

file2.txt
numpad1 "+$$teamselect 1$$powexecname Insulation_Shield$$bindloadfilesilent file1.txt"

On key press, team member 1 should be selected and Deflection_Shield should be activated.
On key release, it ensures team member 1 is selected and activates Insulation_Shield.

For best results, hold the key down for a split second to allow time for the first power to activate.

Edit:
I tested and confirm that this setup works on my Controller with Sonic Resonance.

The only problem is, without the redundancy of running the same power twice like the original single-power command.. you run the risk of the first target command failing once in a while.

Edit2:
Here's another trick.. use Control, Alt or Shift in your bind:
numpad1 "+$$teamselect 1$$powexecname Deflection_Shield"
Control+numpad1 "+$$teamselect 1$$powexecname Insulation_Shield"

That one is a little tricky to get both powers to fire on a single press of the numpad, but here's how you do it:
Hold Control
Hold Numpad1 (teammate 1 is targeted)
Release Control (Insulation_Shield is activated)
Release Numpad1 (Deflection_Shield is queued, then activated)

Because of the "+$$" redundancy, the target should never fail.
I also tested and confirm that this works.

Thanks Master-Blade. Sounds like what I'm looking for. I'll try those out and see how they work for me.
