WSAD Movement Utility 1.02

  • Like
Reactions: Mivel
Description
This little tool allows you to use the WSAD instead of the arrow keys to whatever you'd want to use them for.

Current version: 1.00.

Explanation
This is NOT an addition to the WE! This is a passive script to be run outside anything! When this script is run, all WSAD keys are converted into arrow key clicks.

I'm pretty sure this works on all OS, but please report if it doesn't.

Changelog said:

- < key changed to Ctrl + Alt + S.

v1.01

- you can also turn off Suspend Hotkeys by pressing >.
- the icon now stays the same, even though the script is paused or Suspend Hotkeys are turned on.
- readme updated.

v1.00

Guess this will work well for people who are left handed.

What? WASD movement is very common in games and is used by right-handed people as much as left handed, as it, as already said, leaves the right hand for the mouse. It's way more comfortable than using the arrow keys with the left hand, making you a cripple in no time. Also it leaves far more options to use as hotkeys than the arrowkeys ever could.

I love the idea, though I haven't tested it.

Any comments?

its a good idea, but the downside is that the key A key is quite used during games. W , S, D arent much. Only if you had an ability that has those hotkey u would have to click on them now, but still that are some common abilities that uses those keys like the Blademaster Wind Walk. (w). And pressing the buttons instead of using the key would be a lot slower.

Thank you for sharing this. This is a great add-on to my Racing map. I greatly appreciate this. I will let you know how it turned when the map is completed.

To all of those complaining about anything not related to this issue, please do not post spam discussion here. Vestras was kind enough to share this, so, please rate and comment on his added feature and stay on topic.

Hmmm if its possible to make wasd keys work im wondering if its possible to make all lettered keys work eg pressing z will make an trigger fire, it would be an awsome util especially since 1 map i recently thought of desperately needs asdf and zxcv to be detectable(its a fighting game)
I already can make buttons but only using F1 - F12(detects the selecting of heroes) but its uncomfortable....Sorry for long explaining its a habit of mine .....
