Bind Help

Hey guys, so I just recently rolled a ill/kin controller and therefore, I am subject to the infamous "Sb Plz" requests. I don't mind giving the entire team sb because for me, if their powers and footspeed are moving faster, than things are dieing quicker, which is good.

My only issue is, the whole *Scroll to teammate name, click, scroll to sb, click; then rinse repeat 7x's" really annoys me. Does anyone have any bind shortcuts that they use to make this process more keyboard friendly? Such as maybe, *tab, F7, rinse repeat?* Or something along those lines.

P.S. I know I could just opt to not take SB and not worry about it in general, but I always get a bit peeved when the kin on my team doesn't have it; don't want to be a hypocrite.

By default, SHIFT+number selects a teammate whose number in the team list equals the number in the bind (top teammate is SHIFT+1, etc). Put bind for speed boost in a handy spot.

Alternately, you can bind the number pad keys:
/bind numpad1 "teamselect 1"
/bind numpad2 "teamselect 2"
...
/bind numpad8 "teamselect 8"
...and then bind a nearby key for SB:
/bind add "powexecname Speed Boost"

Then hit numpad1, add, numpad2, add, numpad3, add...etc.

The binds I use are (taken from a bind file):

NUMPAD1 "teamselect 1$$powexecname Speed Boost"
NUMPAD2 "teamselect 2$$powexecname Speed Boost"
NUMPAD3 "teamselect 3$$powexecname Speed Boost"
NUMPAD4 "teamselect 4$$powexecname Speed Boost"
NUMPAD5 "teamselect 5$$powexecname Speed Boost"
NUMPAD6 "teamselect 6$$powexecname Speed Boost"
NUMPAD7 "teamselect 7$$powexecname Speed Boost"
NUMPAD8 "teamselect 8$$powexecname Speed Boost"



You have to double tap the key, but I find it simpler than pressing two keys (or three, if you also have ID... or 5, if you're a thermal)

Similar to Ktisune, I use:

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

But for SB, I use:

ADD "powexec_name Speed Boost"

That's the + key on the Numpad. Makes it easy for me to reach, and remember.

You shouldn't have to double-tap those. The act of pressing the key and the act of releasing the key with both run the command, reducing the need to hit it a second time.

Okay so let me get this straight, I type in all of those individually? And then when I push 1 on the keyboard, it selects the team leader (1st in party usually) then just push + afterwards? (After everything is set up of course). Im going to go type in everything above exactly as it looks; is there anything else I should know, if not, thankyou very much. And everyone else that posted.

P.S. You've just made me one happy Kin

Yes, you program all those binds, and then it's as simple as pressing the button for teammate, then pressing the power. Or, as I and Kitsune have set up, the single key will select the player and automatically SB them (if they are in range and LoS).

Wait, it does BOTH in ONE key? Even better!

Yep, the ones we listed have the teamselect and the power execution on a single command. It's quite convenient. Just make sure that when you copy/paste them, you typed /bind first. lol

Alternately, you can simply copy/paste that into a text file named c:\binds\sb.txt, then quickly load it onto your character by typing:
/bindloadfile c:\binds\sb.txt

First time I've seen the + sign used in a bind command...Can you please tell me what it does exactly?

The + makes the first command run when the key is pressed, and the second command run when the key is released.

That's not exactly true. What would happen if you had a third command in there as well? There is no way for it to just pick out the commands it wants to run. The + makes the whole command line run twice. Once when the key is pressed, and again when the key is released.

In this case, it may appear like it's only running the teamselect on keypress because the powexec is run simultaneously. Depending on any number of factors, your target may not register on your client at the time the power execution is run, which is why you would have had to run it a second time. Additionally, now that your target is already set from the first run of the command, you wouldn't notice that the teamselect is actually being run again anyway.

It's more noticeable what's going on if you used the "next teammate" bind instead of designating an actual number, but that's part of why I don't like to do it that way. An easier test is simply to string together a whole bunch of text commands and then put the +$$ in front of it. Pressing the key will display all the text twice.

This is also how the SpeedOnDemand binds work.

Example:
/bind W "+forward$$powexecname super speed"

On keypress, the W will make you move forward and activate super speed. On key release, you will stop moving forward and disable super speed. It runs the full command twice, not just part of it.

Ooops. Didn't see the /bind add part.

And I don't like having Teamselect and SpeedBoost set to the same key. Currently, my /Kin has both SB and ID. ID is bound to NUMPADENTER. And then there's MysticF. I don't always want to cast SB on someone I select. Also, not everyone wants SB, but I've yet to find anyone who doesn't want ID. With the auto-cast, they'd end up with the unwanted SB.

Very nice info there..thanks a ton. This will help me a lot!

Well, see, in general, it doesn't bother me. It's just when I'm teamed with someone who does that. Fortunatly, not many people I end up with on a team do that, so (for now), I grit my teeth, and ***** to myself about it.

Thanks for letting me know which OGG it is. If I decided to silence it, that'll make it easy.
