Request: Step name and "Trigger only once" checkbox

Hi, I have two feature requests that I think could make it easier to work with the Key Maps UI in ISBoxer:

1. Ability to set a name for a step, which would show up in the tree view in the bottom left window.
It could default to "Step N: " + the name of the last action in that step, e.g. "Step 5: Num 3 -> Healers". It would be nice to be able to set that name to whatever you want. I think this would make it very easy to browse through all your Mapped Keys, without having to check every single step to see what it's doing.

2. Add a checkbox next to "Do not advance to the next step" and "...for at least N seconds" that says "Trigger only once".
It would make the step execute its Actions only once, even if you repeatedly spam the hotkey, which would be a nice way to handle cooldowns and timing (e.g. for rage/energy/mana conservation/regen purposes). Right now, we have to add an empty dummy step in-between every keypress step to avoid having an ability being hit twice and mess up the next step, which is quite cumbersome for long sequences - especially if you have to modify the sequences often because you're levelling a new team.

Both good points, I can implement both of them for ISBoxer 39.

Awesome, thanks Lax! :) Do you have an approximate ETA for ISBoxer 39?

I don't see any reasons why it shouldn't be out by the end of the month. :)

I have this all implemented and ready for you to try it out, catch me in the ISBoxer Chat Room if you want a download link. I need some testers to make sure things aren't broken either way ;)

I missed you in the chat room, but yes, I'd like to help with testing. Just PM me and let me know how to download and how you want feedback, and if there's anything in particular you want tested.

I put it up in the Beta Testers forum just now, and added you to the user group. More info there. :)

Re: Request: Step name and "Trigger only once" checkbox

When will the "trigger only once" - flag be reset ?

after "Reset to step 1 after xy seconds from the first hotkey pressed" elapsed ?
after x rounds ?

Re: Request: Step name and "Trigger only once" checkbox

Any time the Step is reset by the reset options, advances to the next, or is set via a Mapped Key Step Action, this flag is reset. In other words, any time a given Step is selected as the active Step to be executed.
