Press Random Key?

[Zzyzxx71]

I've posted this query elsewhere, but wanted to make sure I was thorough.

Khotovar's DK rotation configuration (he uses HotKeyNet) sends 4 keys in a priority (for this example lets say 1,2,3,4) and then one of any of 3 OTHER keys (say 5, 6 or 7). So essentially it's sending 1/2/3/4+5 OR 6 OR 7. Hotkeynet apparently has the ability to send a random key selected from a preconfigured pool of keys (in this example 5,6 or 7).

Anyone have any ideas/recommendations on how to duplicate this configuration in ISBoxer?

Thanks in advance.

Can't find the thread where you refer to Khatovar's setup sending a random key in {5, 6, 7}. Link that and we may be able to provide some insight. Between myself, Mirai and a few others, we're doing some pretty involved stuff with steps/etc.

I'm a She.

Just want to clarify this for everyone - All the keys are sent at the same time {1-4+5 or 6 or 7}. The "and then" might make some think it's 1-4 and after those are sent, it sends another random key.

This is the thread where I was discussing my setup with Zzyzxx71.

Edit: Her post outlining his configuration can be found here.

Edit: She utilizes a function within AutoHotKey titled "DoRandomToggle" - In one of her posts she's linked to the following post titled "Priority and Random Casting in HotKeyNet".

Additional edit: By "And Then" my intention was more to communicate "in addition with". Not an extra step, but 1,2,3,4 AND (5 or 6 or 7).

Apologies if I misrepresented the procedure.

If you want to send multiple keys then just add more Keystroke Actions to that particular Step of your Mapped Key.

Understood, that's not the problem though. The issue is sending a random key using ISBoxer.

The 1/2/3/4 is figured out - it's the 5 OR 6 OR 7 that has me stumped.

What spell is it and why do you only sometimes want it to go off? Perhaps we can address the spirit of the problem if not this specific solution.

I guess I don't understand why it has to be random and what benefit there is to it being random?

[Zzyzxx71]

She outlined her thought process in a prior post:

"As to why I use DoRandomToggle instead of just DoHotKey or just adding a bunch of toggles into the original hotkey, I wanted it to be a chance for the spells to go off, not something that is always going to go off. This gives me a better chance of things going off only if there's nothing else to do and only on occasion."

I suppose I'm not trying to really understand it, I just want to duplicate it. That, and this appears to be a challenge as far as ISBoxer configuration.

My rough input is, I'd just do something like this, from the bottom (lowest level) up:
(key 1 = Khat's priority key 1, etc.)

Priority Key 
 |---> Step 1 (reset to step 1 after X seconds; adjust to your taste)
            |---> key 1
 |---> Step 2
            |---> key 2
 |---> Step 3
            |---> key 3
 |---> Step 4
            |---> key 4

Strike key (reset to step 1 after 5 seconds)
 |---> Step 1 (do not progress to step 2 for at least 2 seconds)
            |---> strike 1
 |---> Step 2 (do not progress to step 3 for at least 1 seconds)
            |---> strike 2
 |---> Step 3 (do not progress to step 1 for at least 1 seconds)
            |---> strike 3

DPS key (pressed OR released) 
 |---> Step 1 ("reset to step 1 after 2 seconds" just so your normal first "hit" on any new encounter will be the priority ability(ies).)
            |---> Priority key
 |---> Step 2
            |---> Strike key

Considering the vagaries of ability timings, that will give you a close approximation of "random" without getting all insane with complexity, meaning it's manageable. And it "weights" the strikes toward Festering Strike. You can adjust the progress delays to tune it so it works better with your spam rate and results.

My 2 copper after a quick think, anyway.
