Bind question

[Bettysue]

Wait a tick here I'm just trying to wrap my head around what's going on.

You essentially have 4 arrow keypads and dependent upon which one you are using you want the chars to do something different.
Why do you have the need to unbind and rebind when you could just bind the different configs for all 4 inputs, considering the "keys pressed physically" are different for each keypad?

You do know that you can bind any number of keys to one action, you are only restricted from binding 1 key to several actions...

For example

Use the setbinding script to set

STRAFELEFT to ALT-CTRL-m, ALT-CTRL-z, SHIFT-LEFT, ALT-CTRL-u


////nvm none of that is helpful, this is way easier to accomplish in HKN, if you need some help getting started let me know or send a PM to paradox (me) over on the HKN forums. Sorry for wasting space in the thread the above info may be useful to someone just not you Sorry I couldn't help.

BTW None of the scripts/macros you posted above will work in combat. Setbinding is a NOCOMBAT restricted API function

Just to clarify (hopefully )
You are correct, I essentially have 4 sets of "direction" pads. Historically, I spent about 20-30 minutes getting a toon "movement configured" to work with this setup. So, I would always keep my priest in the bottom-left window and my bottom left direction pad would move my priest. The problem is, when I want to move a different toon into that spot (say I want to try a shaman this week) then I need to configure movement for another 20-30 minutes.

While this will not work in combat, that isn't really the issue I am trying to solve. It's more the long term configuration changes.


As for HKN... it doesn't look as easy to setup as Octopus, but it certainly is more powerful. Switching systems means at least a week of downtime (since no matter how I set it up, I'll constantly find little things I messed up that I need to fix).

If only the 2 could be combined

Actually ... is there a way to use the PiP swapping to also redifine keybinds?
