Keyboard Events

[NightStalker]

Is there a way to make a keyboard event other than the preset events up, down, left and right keys.

For example I want,
Q for attack animation 1
E for attack animation 2
S for defend animation and so on...

All War 3 offers is 4 direction keys.

I just noticed that the keyboard events are skills duh...

yeah u can use spells that do nothing for events but it will fill up ur skill bars

Not if he hides their buttons, by setting Y (of the button) to -268435456 See more here.

No worries about crowding the skillbar. They will be available only when in combat mode. But thanks for the replies.

Hidden buttons will ignore hotkeys iirc.

All I want to know is why this spell doesn't work...

spell

• Attack1
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Quick Attack
  • Actions
    • Wait 0.00 seconds
    • Set attack1Caster = (Triggering unit)
    • Custom script: call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(udg_attack1Caster, 4)
    • Set caster1Loc = (Position of attack1Caster)
    • Set attack1Target = (caster1Loc offset by 55.00 towards (Facing of attack1Caster) degrees)
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 50.00 of attack1Target) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Cause attack1Caster to damage (Picked unit), dealing 55.00 damage of attack type Normal and damage type Normal
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_caster1Loc)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_attack1Target)

It should create a point where the character is looking to. Then it damages a little area. But It only works in a particular degree only.

Don't mind leaks for now, but what should I change I can't see the problem.

Why in the world is there a wait?
I think the range of the unit group is too small for you to realise it did work.

Else the desired animation won't work, this doesn't work so smooth as well, but it gets the job done :/

I think the range of the unit group is too small for you to realise it did work.

It was really small yes now that I've made it bigger it works as intended.


EDIT: As Wietlol asked me wtf that WAIT is for, I made it for the wanted animations to work but the unit won't immediately use that animation. It first uses the spell then uses THAT animation. So what can I do to avoid this awkward attack sequence?

Edit2: Now it works fine idk how?!
