[Trigger] Possible to change hotkeys with new natives?

[Elektrohund]

The latest patch brought a lot of new natives for spells and units. I'm wondering if it is now possible to change the hotkey of a specific ability through triggering?

It has been tested that changing hotkeys is currently not possible.

 

[Elektrohund]

Well that's unfortunate
Thanks for the info

Was this intentional or not?

It is possible without the new natives, but it's kind of a shitshow. Say that you wanna use the ever-famous (should have been the standard!), QWER keybindings, then "all you need" is 4 copies of each of your spells, with each of the 4 keybindings, and then assigning the spell with the desired keybinding in your trigger.

Like I said... tedious stuff, but it works.

Yeah. Alternatively I suppose I could make all spells trigger from dummy channel spells (one for each hotkey) and just modify those.

As long as you avoid using those hotkeys on the actual spells and use batch order IDs not used by any of the spells you have, it should work I guess.
