EQ2 Issue

Mysteryman · Post by **Mysteryman** » Mon Oct 09, 2006 2:16 pm

Inside of EQ2.

I press Left or "num 4" for left....

Press -hold "num 4"
wait...
press -release "num 4" works great.

However I'm reading that I can add other keys to mix on that same line.

if i hold down ctrl + num 4, i move left instead of turning left.

The following code just spins me .... is it me or innerspace. It's like the Ctrl is being ignored.

press -hold "ctrl+num 4"
wait...
press -release "ctrl+num 4"

While I'm at it....

HUDGroups.

I can list them, hid / show etc.. no problem.

I can add a hud item to the screen etc...

Where do you define what group a hud element belongs to?

I had the same issue with HUDGroups, seems the only way to define the groups themselves is through XML. Probably just a command left out or undocumented.

You don't use a command, you use a method of the lguihudelement object. All HUD elements are simply a LavishGUI element.

The examples there are outdated, there's no need to use FindChild (editing the examples now), but for example:
UIElement[fps@main hud]:SetGroup[New FPS Group]

Works like a champ ( the HUDGroup issue ). Thanks.

Any word on the multiple key press with Ctrl modifier?

I will look into the ctrl emulation issue with EQ2 when I get a chance

I had similar problems with wowpress in ISXWOW.

Converted all my scripts to use Keyboard:Press, Keyboard:Hold, etc... problems went away.

Just have to be careful with chat input

Anyone know a Lua call to tell if chat input is open so that I can put a wrapper around Keyboard ?

WoWPress executes an action in WoW, it doesnt press a key. So you wouldnt use it to press ctrl anyway. You would use it to jump, as opposed to pressing space. He's talking about Press, which is the same as Keyboard:Press.

This question should REALLY be asked on ismods.com in the WoW script development forum. Most people who would know the answer don't read this forum.

In Wow, my mapping for turn right is E, and for strafe right is Ctrl+E.

scripts that would call wowpress turnright, but never call strafe would end up strafing... To me, that is a similar problem.

I "think" it had something to do with world load when the key state was pressed, but could never reproduce it on demand. Almost as if ctrl, shift, etc were all pressed during load, but not release until the next wowpress is called.

Regardless, Using Keyboard such as:

Keyboard:Hold[ctrl]
Keyboard:Hold[4]
Keyboard:Release[4]
Keyboard:Release[ctrl]

will in my experience produce the results you are looking for without the "odd" behavior.

But if you do "wowpress straferight" or whatever it is, it's not pressing CTRL+E, it does what CTRL+E does, which is straferight. That's all I'm saying. If you're talking strictly about movement, you can use the move command ISXWoW gives you.
