Macro for Hasten

[Lockpick]

I remember seeing a post at one point where you could create a macro for hasten tagged to the W key, so whenever you were using W to move it would presumably click hasten if it was available.

 

Can anyone provide this macro?

I have hasten bound to whichever key I use to move backwards (down arrow for me because I’m left handed). If you’re using W to move backwards it would be /bind w “+backward$$powexecname hasten”

Mine is similar to yours -- my keybinds.txt has W "+forward$$powexecname hasten" -- so that hasten tries to fire each time I move forward; for a simple bind it would be:

 

/bind W "+forward$$powexecname hasten"

Thank you both, got it to work!

On a related note, I've always had Hasten as my autopower so that I don't have to worry about it. It just made sense as it borderlines needing to be a passive.

On my dominators, I just use H for hasten, as a key bind. That way I don't have to remember what key to use. It just makes sense to me. When I used a movement key, and it wasn't recharged yet, that sound drove me nuts! I tried playing without sound, but it's just not the same game without it.

Powerexecauto avoids this.

CoH Mod Installer, "Completely Muted Recharge Sound" -- it silences the "power not recharged yet" bleat.

There are times when you have another power that you want to be autofiring more reliably than Hasten, as the movement-key bind won't fire if you're not moving forward, or if you use the LBUTTON+RBUTTON combo to move forward. For example, if I have a character with Conserve Power, I'll generally put that on auto, rather than Hasten, and let the movement bind trigger Hasten.

NVM, found it.

Where do I find this?  The recharge sound is driving me nuts! 🙂

Download the CoH Mod Installer and run it. Along with installing "Vidiotmaps for Homecoming" (pretty much a 'must have') and "Completely Muted Recharge Sound", I recommend the "Double Loud Glowie" mod, which makes the glowie sound louder so you can find them easier (doesn't make the sound extend further away from the glowie, though, so you still have to find their general area, but they stand out better against background noise).

Truth!! This was a game changer that I can't recommend enough! I keep my overall volume pretty low when I play and the blinkie sound is still very easy to hear. Huge QOL upgrade!
