SpellBinder

Version: r2

by: Nymbia [More]

SpellBinder is a simple, ugly Ace2 mod that creates a GUI for the new SetBindingItem, SetBindingSpell, and SetBindingMacro functions. Simply put, it allows you to bind stuff to keys without taking up an actionbar slot.

To summon the window, use /spellbind, or set a key binding in the bindings menu.

* Click on a button on the left, then select or enter something to bind a key to.
* Click on the "Click to Set" button, then enter a key combination
* Check that the spell, item or macro name is correct, check that the key combination is correct, then click "Set Key". That's it!

I must say that I really love this addon, it's simple and does exactly what I want (minus above feature ).

Unfortunately, a water element's spells don't behave in the same way as a hunter or warlock's pet, can't get info for 'em. You should be able to bind a macro to '/cast Freeze' for the same effect.

Just a quick drive-by compliment and maybe some advice (if it pans out).

First I'll say that I love SpellBinder, a combination of it and UnitActionBars to maximise my potential over keyboard and mouse have been making me very happy. As a person who's no stranger to FPS games, I rely on my reflexes between both hardware implements a lot. Binding macros to keys, in play, whenever I need to (no less) is a thing of great value.

I did find out one thing though which might be the answer to speak's question. If something has a binding which is a modifier-key binding but not a key binding, it overrides the modifier part of SpellBinder's binding. Example; if I have SpellBinder set to use V and I have a macro with a [modifier:alt] on it, Alt+V doesn't actually use that but instead it toggles friendly nameplates.

The solution I found was to head into the bindings (making them character specific is important now if you haven't already) and track down the alt/control/shift+key binding that's overriding your macro, then unbind it. That should solve that problem, at least if it's the same problem I was having. Baffled me for a little bit, that did until I actually saw the keybind do something.

Yeah, that's a common problem, thanks for illustrating it so well. Another one (and possibly related to speak's problem) is what's been termed, 'bindings eat modifiers'. For instance, if I have a macro like this:

/cast [modifier:ctrl] Detect Magic; [modifier:alt] Polymorph; Fireball

And that macro is bound to Control-4, the detect magic will never ever cast. That's because the binding eats the modifier -- since control is used to determine if this macro is the one that's cast, it disappears before the macro is evaluated. So ctrl-4 will cast Fireball and ctrl-alt-4 will cast polymorph, both contrary to the macro logic.

This behavior, and the one pointed out by Garland, are both inherent in the Blizzard code, I can't do anything about them, as the bindings are in blizzard's court as soon as you close the spellbinder frame. (they'll also persist after disabling spellbinder, by the way)

Thanks!

I've been getting that too, I'll look into it

is there a way to fix this? or is it a known bug?

Good idea, I'll add that.

Well the way the check works is that it will behave correctly in regards to not considering "(Major)" the rank, as long as "(Major)" is not in the text area where rank goes.. It also -should- consider "Create Healthstone" and "Create Healthstone (Major)" different spells, and set them correctly -- but the game might not cooperate. I guess the real question is, what's the exact text that's output to chat when you set a key to major healthstone?

If I bind "Create Healthstone" (which is the lowest stone) it works, but gives me the lowest stone.

Any ideas? Fixes?

Thanks!

Hmm, I'll have to hijack a warlock and test it out.
