Multiple (faked) castsequences

[Alge]

Something like this might work:

Step 1: Action 1: Fire the channeled ability
Step 1: Action 2: use a Mapped Key Step Action to manually set the current mapped key to step 2

Step 2: No action, do not advance for next x seconds

Step 3: whatever you want to do on the next key press


I have not tried this. It's just an idea from what I saw in ISBoxer.

I tried setting up a two-step button that looked like this:

Step one: E to all Windows
Do not advance to the next step for 1.0 seconds
Step two: nothing
Do not advance to the next step for 1.5 seconds

I played with the timing for over an hour. For whatever reason, when you're casting a channeled spell and you hit another ability EVEN WHILE YOU'RE ON THE GCD it will cancel it. I tried different timings paired with different ability-que settings in game. Meaning, no que, short que, full que. Still, no dice.

Without [nochanneling] I'm just not that impressed with channeled abilities.

I succeeded with the wait step.
what I did was:

=========
Step one: E to all Windows
<untick the do not advance here> <no wait in the casting step>
Step two: nothing
Do not advance to the next step for 2.5 seconds
=========

you need to un-tick the do not advance in the first step, so that this step is only executed once!!
then the next step gets spammed.

you can test/debug it by opening the chat window in your client and see how fast the "E" is sent to the clients.
(tip: I added a clickbar which shows me the stepnumber the castsequence is on, so I can see whats going on

also be aware that RIFT has a QUEUEING ability for spells (check this out in the settings menu and make sure that the queue is short or none)

I will try it again bloodcloud, I didnt have luck with this.

Edit: Im also having trouble with motif's firing off twice. Im having all sorts of bard problems lol.

Edit#2: I just tried this and went from a 2.0 second dely to a 2.5 second delay like you mentioned. Its working better but still doesnt seem flawless.

And I cant wrap my head around why other than the game just doesnt like spam during channeled abilities. Hmm.

I have an issue with swapping clients.
It seems that every client swap resets the steps.

if I spam "1" doing
step 1 -> cast 30 sec bard buff
step 2 -> wait 30 sec

and i swap clients the buff is cast again immediately.

Will do more testing once i am @ home again tonight.

According to Lax, every client has it's own state of the steps.
The steps can be synced by "Keymap action-> New Mapped Key step action -> all others)" (then step +1) (will also try with add +1)
I imagine with the "do not advance.." it makes it more tricky because if you switch in a "wait phase" of a step to another client window that client executes the next step, so no wait ..

I use this, and some might find it worthwhile to add a Manual Reset sort of switch, in the event you press your Cadence Hotkey while in the middle of a GCD, then you have to wait 2 seconds before casting it correctly.

ISBoxer Hotkey: Shift 2 (or whatever)
Step 1: Set Mapped Key Step Action - <Cadence's Mapped Key> - Set to 1 on all
Step 1: <Activate Cadence's Mapped Key, so it performs Cadence and then advances>
