Request: Mousewheel

[Poolboy]

However you think it would best be implemented Rob, your call. As long as scrolling on Leader will allow me to scroll to Clones.

I'm a big noobtard though, so if it's not as straightforward I'll just need a wee bit of help to config :thumbsup:

Wuwu!!

In windows I just rebind my mouse wheel up to something like Alt+A and down to Alt+B - in wow you just change in Keybindings for the same. Mousewheel spams the Alt+A/B's and each WoW can use this. Temp workaround if you really want the mouse wheel to be able to spam a command.

Hrmm, this affects your whole computer though, every program you use? So like, if I 'accidently' used my mousewheel in Explorer it'd pop up the 'Favourites ->Add A Favourite' flyout?

As for more uses..

Think of the excellent mashable Rogue macros you can make that currently, sure they're workable ~ but you'd wear your keyboard/wrist out, but with steady scrolling would leave a clone rogue (or even dps warrior for that matter) in a nice constant state of action.

/follow focus
/cast various melee strikes all prioritized for effect/spec

He'd be constantly right along with the tank/leader you'd think... hacking and slashing away. Positioning will always be a prob with melee clones, but you'd have to admit stuff would get a little easier. Maybe even easy enough for someone to try and break the no_melee_clones barrier?

Just thoughts, I'm bored this morning and my mind is thinking of a hundred uses for faster easy spam.

Spamming actions is not the issue with melee clones, the issue is that hitting something in melee breaks follow. Always. So you would perhaps need to put a /follow in between every action or something.

[Poolboy]

Yep, that's why I'd prolly put a '/follow focus' as the very first line in a melee clone's scroll spam.

Each 'tick' of your mousewheel (which is quite a furious speed even with calm even scrolling) will be refreshing the follow, and trying to force a strike.

With even a little bit of practice I'm sure ya could get good at setting mobs up between your leader and a melee clone so that the follow command didnt ruin positioning/facing.

Hey, it's still never gonna be as ez-mode as Ranged clones, but I think it at least eases a few burdens with the way keymashing is currently done?

[Maxion]

You are right, but I was actually thinking more about pvp where the "mobs" wont stand still and let you position them as much.
But as I thought about after making that post, and as you pointed out, putting /follow in all the macros would probably be a good help in keeping the clones around.

[None of the above]

I want to add my "+1" to request for Mousewheel Up/Down processing. Keyclone, please... can you do it for us?

[keyclone]

yes... i have that on the list... i just wanted to push a release before the weekend instead of waiting.

once i get a few items completed, i will push another release.

ARISE THREAD AND LIVE TO FIGHT ANOTHER DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry for the necromancy but I am getting ready to plunge into some melee boxing and I am curious if this ever made it into Keyclone? If not is there software I can pony up with KC to make this happen?

Again, if there's a way I can pass my scrolling mousewheel up/down to my other clients that would RAWK!

[keyclone]

heya PB,

that's some necro skill you got there

and yes, if you go to keyclone/setup/mouse-map you will be able to associate wheel up and wheel down with a key. this key will be sent to all wows. you can also do ctrl+wheel, shift+wheel, and alt+wheel. if you are going to use the modifiers, i believe you will need to match the modifier with the keys (ie: alt+wheelback ==> alt+4 not 4)

please make sure you update to v1.8k at least

if that wasn't what you were looking for, just let me know.
