Allow spit/charge/other abilities to be rebound so that everyone's happy.

Post by Lucius Jones » 19 Jun 2017, 04:26

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): In the update that gave the prae resin spit, it re-bound shift click that spat neurotoxin/acid to middle clicking, while resin spit got shift click. Acid spitting is way more important than resin clicking, and I can't actually even use it well in-game now since I, you know, lack a middle click or a mouse at all. So, allowing this to happen makes everyone happy.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): lets people without a mouse play prae, and allow more customisation

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): actually allow the playerbase who do not own a mouse or have knowledge of macro's to play prae and other aliens better, or more comfortably

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): I have no idea but I think it's a easy fix and I would be able to play prae again, since right now it's un-playable since I cannot shift click and must right click them, and it lags my entire laptop out because it's terrible and I am so poor I cannot afford a mouse pls.

also the comments explained this 10x better than I could.

This more sounds like a request to have it so you can set one or the other to a shift or middle click.

actually yea that's a better idea, it'd be nice to bind change spit type to middle mouse and spit to shift click for players who actually Own mouses

Is it not possible to do that with a simple macro ? Like with the input "Toggle-spit-type" with middle mouse ?

I actually tried that with the macro guide currently on the wiki, and macro's are a sensitive bitch. Doing it, you need to enable hotkey mode (which means no talking until you get out of that mode, annoying in the middle of combat), if it actually works at all since I bound spit to the S key, I had to fiddle around with tons of stuff to actually be able to talk at all. It's really annoying
also, you can't re-bound already bound keys. Like middle mouse

You press T to talk while in hotkey mode.

I vote that the suggestion to be edited to "Allow spit/charge/other abilities to be rebound so that everyone's happy."
