I started something new last few days. I started playing around on a Warrior and Priest combo. I have some in game macros that i'm still fine tunning to get them working to my liking. What is different to my 2 warlocks is that the warrior and priest combo are being played on with a game pad (joystick / game controller) i programmed and mapped to different keys and mouse actions. (with just using AHK)
The basic set up:
Controller Type:
PS2 (AirFlow - USB)
Directional Pad + 2 Analog controls:
Directional Pad = Priest solo movement
Analog1 = Warrior movement (Maximized screen movement)
Analog2 = Mouse pointer movement
Button:
1 = 1 on both
2 = 2 on both
3 = 3 on both
4 = 4 on both
5 = Right Mouse click
6 = Ctrl on both
7 = Left Mouse click
8 = Tab on Maximized screen
9 = Shift on both
10 = 0 on both
11 = Alt+Tab
12 (Analog1 pressed down) = Priest Follows
13 (Analog2 pressed down) = Jump on both
Using a UIMod I have buttons that change with Ctrl / Shift so I can not only see the layout of how the buttons are arranged on screen, but also can see the buttons that are being shown on the additional WoW account.
Example macros:
To cast renew
#Renew
/cast [help] [target=targetstarget, help] renew
/cleartarget
/stopmacro [help] [target=targetstarget, help]
/cast [target=focustarget, help] [target=focus]renew
/cleartarget
(*rewrote macro at work and need to check once i get home to see if it is correct with one used in the game)
How this Macro works:
(A) If the priest has a "friendly" targeted, priest cast Renew, then Clears Target
(B) If the priest target's target is a "friendly" target, the priest cast Renew, then Clears Target
- Stop Macro (probably don't need but i was getting bugs without it)
(C) If the focus target's target is a "friendly" target, the priest cast Renew, then Clears Target
(D) Cast Renew on the focus target, then Clears Target
Clear target is a test to see if the priest still being attacked by a mob. If the priest is getting attack (aka mob is on priest target) the priest will cast renew on itself. Also for the focus target's target is to I can cast renew on other players that are not in my group or are needing a heal just by targeting them with my warrior. (I have priest buffs set up almost the same)
There is more testing / macros needed for all different ability's, but i'm getting there.
I have been asked by a few people to post videos of this in action, and will do as soon as i can get a camera to record the controls in the act.
My first goal is pretty much done (other than fine tuning macros to make the characters run smoother, but the controls are set and working to my liking)
My second goal on character controls is going to be little more "active". The goal is to set up a DDR dance pad to control the movement of the characters and (if i can get the funds) have another object track head movements to link it to the camera controls of WoW. So basically, i will be controlling movement with my feet, camera view with my head, then normal attack / casting actions with a controller in my hands. Should be fun getting it working and running once completed.
