Shapeshifting bind, no longer working as expected


Coolio

Okay, so with the recent changes to PBs I got mine out of storage to try him out. I've found something strange though: my shapeshifting binds don't work like they should any more.

When I hit my Human-form bind, (powexectoggleoff White Dwarf$$powexectoggleoff Bright Nova) my forms deactivate as expected, but if I start hitting it when a form power is activating, and keep hitting it (because, you know, I'm in a hurry), after I switch back to human form it'll then queue the shapeshift toggle back UP and I might change back into the form I just left. It's always the form I was in the gets queued up.

Anyone know what's going on?


Issue 16 made me feel like this.

I was just going to post about this new issue.

I've been leveling up a new WarShade lately. I've got my forms bound to my mouse. Back button toggles on Nova and switches trays, Forwad button activates Dwarf and changes trays, Shift+Back button deactivates both and toggles on sprint.

After the last patch, The bind to switch into Nova is acting wonky.

I run into a mob, hit Mire and the back click like normal. My tray changes as it should but then I never formshift. I end up having to click it again 2 or more times before I actually shift. Very annoying and time consuming.

Happens only in missions, as changing to Nova outside an instance is always working like it should.

May be something to do with the change to bind/macro parsing.
The one that does the first (leftmost) bind/macro item last.

I had to rework all my Kheldian targeting binds a short while back, around the time of GR, because the original binds had stopped working, they changed from woking as intended (targeting a void for example) to targeting the next mob after the void, the info on this is in the Kheld macro/binds thread tho.

Try adding quotes and underscores.

/bind z "powexec_toggle_off White Dwarf$$powexec_toggle_off Bright Nova$$goto_tray 1"

Mine are working thankfully. Also pretty sure it does not read underscores so it don't matter if you have them after each letter or not at all.
