Is this possible?

[noel]

That hover/sniper song had the following lines:

You have you controls set to fly when moving, and hover when stationary you master of the Macro.
(Don’t want waste that end)

Is this really possible? I have it set up to do it rather well with my hotkeys, but if this is really possible to macro it would be awesome. Whoever finds it for me first will be my best friend!

Yeah, i can't imagine why it wouldn't be. Have you read the big super macro guide post?

I'd think you could just add the command for activating the flying skill to the binds for your movement keys, and then add another one to activate hover when you release the keys. I don't know the exact syntax offhand, but it shouldn't be too hard. Alas I'm at work so I can't monkey around with it to find out.

I will have to look for it on the boards again, but there was a step by step guide on the COH boards on how to do this Aran.
Will look tonight, unfortunately can't hit the COH boards from work.

Thanks, I'll head over there and search for it.

That would make being a flyer ridiculously easy. You'd literally never stop flying.

Here it is. Disadvantage that you can't press two directions at the same time, but otherwise pretty cool:

The Best Hover/Fly /bind EVER!!!

Please reply with a recommended Hover/Fly /bind.
REPLY TEMPLATE (suggestion only):
<WHAT> - Complete description of how the /bind works
<WHY> - Pros/Cons or reasons for structure
<HOW> - Code/Instructions


<WHAT>
Action: With Sprint enabled press q
Result: Char will enter Hover mode and disable Sprint
Action: Press+Hold ANY direction key
Result: Char will enter Fly mode in the direction chosen
Action: Release previous key
Result: Char will return to Hover mode
Action: Press q
Result: Char will drop to ground with Sprint enabled


<WHY>
PRO
Single key to start/end Flight
Minimal Endurance usage
Quick recovery from Flight ‘Knockdowns’
Autorun+Space allows for better viewing of terrain
(pans slightly down)

CON
Combinations of direction keys toggles Hover/Fly during Flight
Very slight initial Flight delay due to load/un-load of .txt files

As a Blaster I would make many small adjustments to position
in order to use Cone Attacks. Toggling between Hover/Flight
was tedious and often I would not fight in Hover mode
(losing Defensive Buff) to avoid it. Furthermore, I would lose
Endurance by not remembering (during intense fights) to
Toggle. With this structure, and Reduce Endurance
enhancements, I’m able to quickly change position with
minimal Endurance loss.


<HOW>
1.Copy/Paste Code into three different .txt files
2.Edit/Save .txt files onto your CoH gaming computer
(edit <dir> to preferred location)
3.Enter CoH and type /bind_load_file <dir>\powers.txt

FILE: powers.txt
q "powexec_name sprint$$powexec_name hover$$bind_load_file <dir>\flight1.txt"

FILE: flight1.txt
q "powexec_name sprint$$powexec_name hover$$bind_load_file <dir>\flight2.txt"
w "+forward$$powexec_name hover$$powexec_name fly"
a "+left$$powexec_name hover$$powexec_name fly"
d "+right$$powexec_name hover$$powexec_name fly"
s "+backward$$powexec_name hover$$powexec_name fly"
space "+up$$powexec_name hover$$powexec_name fly"
lshift+space "+down$$powexec_name hover$$powexec_name fly"

FILE: flight2.txt
q "powexec_name sprint$$powexec_name hover$$bind_load_file <dir>\flight1.txt"
w "+forward"
a "+left"
d "+right"
s "+backward"
space "+up"

Anyone know if there is a way to bind a single key to activate multiple powers? I've been tinkering with macros and bind files, but I've had no success.

Why Noel and not Aranuil?

seekrit ninja reasons, kwon...

Noel >>> Aranuil

Much more powerful.
