Pauses

Anyway to pause between actions? I'm trying to set one to assist then cast a spell. I need it to pause for about half a second before casting the spell. Any suggestions?

Re: Pauses

Should be able to achieve that by using a keymap with multiple steps. Step 1 will be assist...and Step 2 will cast whatever it is you're trying to cast. By default every keymap starts with 1 step. Just right click on the word 'Step' to create more steps.

Re: Pauses

Tried that, doesn't want to go to step 2 without hitting the key again

Right. Delays in 9 out of 10 MMOs are against their ToS. If you can't use the in game macro system provided to put in a delay...then it isn't allowed. This is called automation. You have to manually press keys to make your characters do things. The only MMO I know of that lets you put delays into macros is Aion.

You can set it so that it does 1 step when you press, and 1 step when you release. This is an option per Mapped Key, it defaults to doing a step only when you release the hotkey.

Any delay or "pause" is 100% controlled by your finger on that button. ISBoxer will never have an option to create delays.

Re: Pauses

Can also set it, so it cannot advance until 0.50 seconds have passed.

It will still be two or more presses, but if you want half a second for a specific reason, spamming the key won't advance to step 2 for whatever time you set.

Re: Pauses

this is how i set delays

step 1 "do not go to next step for 0.5 sec"
action-immloate
step 2 "do not go to next step for 1.0 sec"
action- nothing/emty
step 3 "do not go to the next step for 0.5 sec"
action-"conflagerate"
step 4 "do not go to the next step for 1.0 sec"
action- nothing/emty
etc..
etc..

Re: Pauses

Why this way and not simple have the action or dleays be longer?

Is this so you dont cut of your GCD's?

I'm looking for someting to repolace /click crutch and I intend to use this feature but when I've used it before I I spammed it too much or was a bit lagged a GCD could accidently clip my LvB cast. If I put the dealsy in too high, my DPS was shocking.

Since /click seems officially dead I'll guess I will have to look into this further as well as finish setting up my camera view stuff for Earthquake/Healing Rain and my Clickbar CC/Raidtarget/Focus setup.
