Experimenting with PB Binds:
Quote:
Okay, so after reading joe's helpful bind list and also reading through a bind guide i have a simple question about toggle keys.
I observed the bind that Smiling Joe himself gave me to execute dwarf heal from human mode using a toggle key and it worked like a charm: Now with this in mind, i looked back onto the old double stomp bind, again in joe's post: From here i came up with the idea to combine the same nature of the heal bind i was given, with the double stomp bind. My question here is, is there a way to set a "toggle key" to activate a bind upon press & hold such as: /bind [key] "+down$$powexec_auto white dwarf flare$$powexec_name white dwarf" but also set the same key to execute human flare (auto or not) when the key is lifted (and the above bind is turned off.) I'd normally just toy with the bind myself, but i don't have access to the game at home to do so. As a re-cap, i'm looking to set a toggle key to put me into dwarf mode, execute an auto dwarf flare, then take me out of dwarf form, turn off the auto-flare, and execute the human form flare (then turn off all autos, i despise my forgetful habit of leaving my auto-fires on and wasting them) This will, hopefully, make a togglekey for a double flare, that can be executed WITHOUT being in dwarf mode AND will turn off all autos.. |
wait wait wait wait wait!!!!!
ARE YOU SAYING that i can execute the dwarf heal without shifting into dwarf? also does that make my toggles drop?
If this is true, this is prob the best thing to pvp pb since incarnates lol..
And if its true that means i would have 4 heals, and my shields.. i would really be regen then

ok just tested it.. it de toggles the shields.. but its still quicker than the bind i was using. which was hit c to go into dwarf and c again to heal.. this i just hold down c and let it go.... then i can just hit ss and sj and reactivate shields...
ehhh ill take it for now.. DEVS please look about suppressing toggles informs.. not detoggling them!!!!

You will still have to be in dwarf mode to execute the heal, which means you'll still have to go through the three second form-shifting animation, which would still be interruptible. AND you'll have to keep your finger on the key until the heal fires.

Worse yet, because it does activate dwarf mode, all your other toggles that aren't compatible with dwarf mode will detoggle.
HOWEVER, once the heal fires, dwarf mode ends automatically when you let up on the key.
SO... if you think of it as a heal with a three second interruptible animation then the answer to your question is yes. And bear in mind that shapeshifting doesn't root.
Think of it as an "Aid Self" that can't be slotted to reduce interrupt time. AND detoggles EVERYTHING.
Which basically severely limits the bind's usefulness in pvp.
To the OP - Toggle key binds can only use two commands, so there is no way toggle-bind more than two powers that I know of.
But let me think about it and see what alternatives I can come up with. I don't think you're going to be able to do a true double stomp without an auto-fire, though.

I totally agree with your "usefulness in PVP thing" and thanks for the help Joe. I'm trying to make a monster of a PB and you're helping with survivability for my play style DRASTICALLY

I definitely know the bind won't work without a auto-fire on the human flare, the trouble is brainstorming a way to set up the dwarf stomp on a toggle key, and an auto fire human flare too, but have both work on the same key.
Alternatively, if this doesn't work I'll just bind the dwarf stomp technique on one key as a toggle, and a human form stomp as another. but right next to each other.

Be careful, though: if you let up on the key before the animation finishes, I'm betting nothing but the animation will happen - for the same reasons as above.
/bind [key] "powexec_auto solar flare$$powexec_name white dwarf flare$$powexec_toggleoff white dwarf$$goto_tray 1"
/bind [key] "+down$$powexec_auto white dwarf flare$$powexec_name white dwarf"
but also set the same key to execute human flare (auto or not) when the key is lifted (and the above bind is turned off.)
