Help with a very specific Mastermind bind.

[Zombra]

Hi.  I want a keybind that cycles through selecting my pets, ideally in a consistent order, and most important, whether or not they are visible on my screen.

 

Right now I am using target_custom_next mypet alive, which works okay, but cycles through pets based on their distance from me which is constantly changing, and more importantly only works if they are in front of me.  Sometimes my pets run around, or I turn my attention to an enemy, and my bind no longer works for targeting someone because they are offscreen.

 

I know the game can target offscreen pets as I can click their name in the pet window and select them that way.  But I can't find a keybind that works to cycle through.  I understand that I can do separate keybinds for every pet and these may work for offscreens, but I don't want to use 6-7 different keys.  I just want one key to cycle through all my pets whether or not they are onscreen.

 

Thanks in advance for any help, even if it is to say that you are 100% sure this cannot be done.  (But please don't guess if you're not sure 🙂)

You can sort of do that with keybinds. Just not with a SINGLE keybind.
What you're asking for could be done however via a series of keybind text files that "load" each other in sequence each time you press the key.

Example:

[textfile1.txt]

KEY "bindloadfilesilent c:\coh\binds\textfile2.txt$$petselect_name PET1" 

[textfile2.txt]

KEY "bindloadfilesilent c:\coh\binds\textfile3.txt$$petselect_name PET2" 

[textfile3.txt]

KEY "bindloadfilesilent c:\coh\binds\textfile4.txt$$petselect_name PET3" 

[textfile4.txt]

KEY "bindloadfilesilent c:\coh\binds\textfile5.txt$$petselect_name PET4" 

[textfile5.txt]

KEY "bindloadfilesilent c:\coh\binds\textfile6.txt$$petselect_name PET5" 

[textfile6.txt]

KEY "bindloadfilesilent c:\coh\binds\textfile1.txt$$petselect_name PET6" 


You could also go a step further and within those files set up additional bind commands so that you have some fine control over the currently selected pet, like:

 

[textfile1.txt]

KEY1 "bindloadfilesilent c:\coh\binds\textfile2.txt$$petselect_name PET1" 

KEY2 petcom_name "PET1" Attack 
KEY3 petcom_name "PET1" Follow 
KEY4 petcom_name "PET1" Goto
KEY5 petcom_name "PET1" Stay

Ah, the old rotating binds trick.  Good thinking!  Thank you!
