Teleport Binds

[smnolimits43]

This is the one i use most often:

 

/bind lbutton+lshift "powexec_name Teleport"

 

what i'm looking for are some escape binds or macros.  Like the ability to Teleport straight up or back away.  I would also like to Teleport and to activate Personal Force Field.

 

Thanks in advance 🙂

You'll want to use /powexec_location for your escape binds/macros. 

 

You can use a rotating text bind and prefixes to activate both powers with a single key (or click on a single macro twice). See

 https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/The_Incomplete_and_Unofficial_Guide_to_/bind

 

I've always found activating a "teleport mode" when traveling across great distances much easier to deal with Teleport. I use a rotating text bind. You press G to activate teleport mode, then G again to deactivate it. This allows you to just click with the left mouse button without holding down the SHIFT key. 🙂

 

tpoff.txt

g "conprint Teleport completed.$$powexec_toggleoff hover$$bind_load_file /binds/tpon.txt"
lshift+g "tell $name, Hovering...$$powexec_toggleon hover$$bind_load_file /binds/tpon.txt"
lbutton "powexec_name teleport" 

 

tpon.txt

g "conprint Teleporting...$$unbind lbutton$$powexectoggleoff sprint$$powexec_toggleon hover$$bind_load_file /binds/tpoff.txt"
lshift+g "powexec_name hover"
lbutton " "

 

Before Homecoming lengthened the hover time in the teleport power, players often took the Hover power to make Teleport easier. You used to fall from the air in 1-3 secs after teleporting. You can remove the lines referencing Hover, or keep them. Don't think they'll hurt even if you don't have Hover.

 

The SHIFT+LBUTTON bind is also a very good one to have, or you could bind Combat Teleport to SHIFT+LBUTTON instead. I bound Teleport Target to CTRL+LBUTTON.

i actually go a bit simpler on my end just use P

 

/bind p "powexec_name Teleport" works a charm and is great for rapid target and port do the same for my warshade as well

The one I have in my keybinds.txt file is a bit more comprehensive:

 

/bind CTRL+LBUTTON "powexecname Translocation$$powexecname Teleport$$powexecname White Dwarf Step$$powexecname Shadow Step"

 

This puts all of the basic teleport powers (barring Combat Teleport) in a single bind, so that regardless of which power/AT your character has/is, the appropriate one will fire when you use the ctrl-click teleport targeting. I use a similar bind for the various flight powers:

 

/bind Y "powexecname Fly$$powexecname Mystic Flight$$powexecname Energy Flight"

 

Since I'm unlikely to ever take more than one of these powers, only the one the character actually has will toggle on/off when I hit the key. This reduces the need to have character-specific binds for 'stock' powers.

 

I do have a few characters with 'ohshit' teleport macros like "powexeclocation up:max" and "powexeclocation back:max" for quick 'bug out' movement, though.

I use a mouse with two buttons on the left side that the game calls button4 and button5. 

 

If you don't have such a mouse, ignore this message.

 

Button4 is the one closer to your palm, button5 is the other one.

 

I use button4 for teleporting for travel, so my bind is /bind button4 "powexec_location cursor teleport$$powexec_location target teleport"

 

This allows for one click teleporting, as opposed to

/bind lbutton+lshift "powexec_name Teleport"

which needs two actions from the user, the initial one then clicking the reticle.

 

For this, if I have a target selected, I teleport directly to it (if in range), if no target selected it teleports to where the cursor is pointing.

 

I've started using button5 on a Marine character with cone attacks so I like to Combat Teleport back after using Whitecap.  For that I use

/bind button5 "powexec_location 180:30 combat teleport"

 

I could have used "back" instead of 180.  180 represents the number of degrees on a circle, which is directly behind you, the 30 is the distance.

 

Details are here about your various options:

https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Powexec_location_(Slash_Command)

 

To combine with PFF, I'd probably activate PFF first which would result in 
/bind KEY "powexec_location 180:100 teleport$$powexec_toggleon personal force field"

 

if you'd rather teleport then use PFF I'd swap the order above.

 

I arbitrarily chose 100 in this case for the distance you'll port back, adjust up or down to whatever you're looking for.

 

KEY is the key (or mouse button) you want to bind to.

 

If I can clarify anything let me know, you know how to find me.

It looks like you're using regular Teleport for this stuff. I'd recommend Combat Teleport for "escape" usage as it activates much more rapidly and does not invoke that brief period of hovering. I'm going to drop my standard bind-set for both Combat Teleport and regular Teleport below. Just swap the power names as needed.

The above works fine, but I found binding to Left Button to cause a few issues on very rare occasions. Binding to "powexec_location cursor" is a more reliable way to achieve the same effect and opens up options other than the Left Button for activation. My binds for that look like this. MOUSECHORD is both L and R buttons simultaneously. You can specify LSHIFT, but it is not strictly necessary unless you want L and R SHIFT to do different things.

 

MOUSECHORD "powexec_location cursor combat teleport"
SHIFT+MOUSECHORD "powexec_location cursor teleport"

 

Setting Location to "target" is incredibly useful for melee toons. It can also be used to target a friendly (teammate) or a contact and teleporting to their location.

 

BUTTON4 "powexec_location target combat teleport"
SHIFT+BUTTON4 "powexec_location target teleport"

 

As for the escape binds ...

 

SHIFT+A "powexec_location left:35 combat teleport"
SHIFT+D "powexec_location right:35 combat teleport"
SHIFT+S "powexec_location back:35 combat teleport"
SHIFT+W "powexec_location forward:35 combat teleport"

 

I also made a "lazy zone crossing button" that takes advantage of Teleport's brief window of hovering. Point and Port. It means aiming around buildings and stuff, but it works pretty well once you get used to it.

 

I "powexec_location camera:max teleport"

Here is one I've been adding to my Mystic Flight characters:

 

/macro_image "Archery_Aim"    "BAMF" "powexec_location target Translocation$$powexecname Mystic_Flight"

 

I don't usually have Mystic Flight toggled on in combat, so a couple of clicks of the macro and I'm teleported to the target location, and Mystic Flight is off again.

thanks alot for getting back to me everyone.  i will be trying these binds out 🙂
