Gravitus Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Can you bind phrases to certain attacks? for example if anytime I click on one of my powers can I make it to where my character says something ? if so, how? Thank you, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zolgar Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 /macro <power> "powexecname <power>$$local nonsense goes here" You could also use say instead of local, but that's a terrible idea because it will go to whatever your currently active chat is.. Which I have seen too many people spam Help of LFG with their macro/binds. Just a fair warning, if it's on super frequently used powers, it can annoy the hell out of your teammates. As an example though, for a Venom inspired brute I might do: /macro Taunt "powexecname Taunt$$local $target, I am going to eat your face." 1 1 Always happy to answer questions in game, typically hanging around Help.

There's a way to deal with this, though, using /bind_load_file You set up a bunch of separate textfiles, each one with a different catchphrase related to the same power (say, "power1.txt", "power2.txt" "power3.txt", and so on). Each of those files includes just a single line: <key> "powexecname <power>$$bind_load_file <filename>$$local <phrase>" And, the first time you log in to the character, you manually type /bind_load_file <location:filename>". If that key is your "1" key on the main keyboard? You press "1", your basic attack fires off, a new bind is registered, the catchphrase is sent to /local. Every time. So if you've thought up, say, 4 or 5 things to say with that power? You won't be spamming the same corny line over and over and over.AND THERE'S MORE. You could pad those 4 or 5 out, by adding in files that omit any catchphrase at all. So, if we're talking about Fire Blast (set and power) ...? fireblast1.txt ... 1 "powexecname Fire Blast$$bind_load_file c:\binds\Fireman\fireblast2.txt$$local Someone asked for a light?" fireblast2.txt ... 1 "powexecname Fire Blast$$bind_load_file c:\binds\Fireman\fireblast3.txt" fireblast3.txt ... 1 "powexecname Fire Blast$$bind_load_file c:\binds\Fireman\fireblast4.txt" fireblast4.txt ... 1 "powexecname Fire Blast$$bind_load_file c:\binds\Fireman\fireblast5.txt$$local Did anyone bring marshmallows?" fireblast5.txt ... 1 "powexecname Fire Blast$$bind_load_file c:\binds\Fireman\fireblast6.txt" fireblast6.txt ... 1 "powexecname Fire Blast$$bind_load_file c:\binds\Fireman\fireblast7.txt" fireblast7.txt ... 1 "powexecname Fire Blast$$bind_load_file c:\binds\Fireman\fireblast8.txt$$local Time to fight fire ... with FIRE!" fireblast8.txt ... 1 "powexecname Fire Blast$$bind_load_file c:\binds\Fireman\fireblast9.txt" fireblast9.txt ... 1 "powexecname Fire Blast$$bind_load_file c:\binds\Fireman\fireblast10.txt" fireblast10.txt ... 1 "powexecname Fire Blast$$bind_load_file c:\binds\Fireman\fireblast11.txt$$local Do you smell someone burning?" fireblast11.txt ... 1 "powexecname Fire Blast$$bind_load_file c:\binds\Fireman\fireblast12.txt" fireblast12.txt ... 1 "powexecname Fire Blast$$bind_load_file c:\binds\Fireman\fireblast1.txt" Every third time you used the power, one of the four catchphrases would be said. And never the same one, twice in a row. Edited July 27, 2019 by PaxArcana 3 Global Handle: @PaxArcana ... Home servers on Live: Freedom & Virtue ...
