I'm curious if this is possible as well. I looked through the keybind thread and could only find a few artifact-related keybinds posted by Fro, example:

Fro wrote:

Aliases[37]=(Command="ActivateItem|NextItem|ActivateItem|PrevItem",Alias="DuoArt")

If the only three actions that you can do with artifacts are Activate/Next/Prev... it makes it harder to activate a specific artifact, but not impossible.

I'm trying to work on a system that binds activation of a specific artifact to a key. I hope this makes sense to someone else, but lets just say you always have the Triple artifact selected and ready to turn on. If that is the case then you could have:

Aliases[1]=(Command="PrevItem|ActivateItem|NextItem",Alias="lightningRod")

Hitting this alias would turn on or off the lightning rod. Since the rod is selected, activated, and then the triple is set back to the artifact you have selected, you could hit this combo again and again to toggle the rod.

You could do this for all the artifacts you have. I haven't tested it though. It could fail, or be horribly slow (is there a delay in processing this type of keybind?).

Thoughts, opinions?

The latest Druid code has got limited key binding for artifacts built into it. It still needs a good test to work out any problems, so I think Dru hasn't activated it yet.

There may be a menu option to set them up, but we did experience some problems replicating that to some clients. However, the bindings will be possible to set in the ini file.

The console commands will be:

SelectTriple - selects the triple damage if you have it

SelectGlobe - select the globe of Invulnerability

SelectMWM - to select the magic weapon maker

SelectDouble - to select the Double Magic Modifier

SelectMax - to select the MaxModifer

SelectPlusOne - to select the PlusOne Modifier

SelectRod - to select the Lightning Rod

SelectBolt - to select the Lightning Bolt

SelectBeam - to select the Lightning Beam

SelectRepulsion - to select the Repulsion artifact

SelectFreezeBomb - to select the FreezeBomb

SelectPoisonBlast - to select the PoisonBlast

SelectMegaBlast - to select the MegaBlast

SelectHealingBlast - to select the HealingBlast artifact

SelectMedic - to select the Medic Weapon Maker

SelectFlight - to select the Boots of Flight

SelectMagnet - to select the ElectroMagnet

SelectTeleport - to select the Teleport device

SelectSphereInv - to select the Sphere of Invulnerability

SelectSphereHeal - to select the Sphere of Healing

SelectSphereDamage - to select the Sphere of Double Damage

SelectRemoteDamage - to select the Remote Damage artifact

SelectRemoteInv - to select the Remote Invulnerability artifact

SelectRemoteMax - to select the Remote Max Modifier artifact

SelectShieldBlast - to select the Shield Healing Blast

SelectChain - to select the Chain Lightning

SelectFireBall - to select the FireBall

SelectRemoteBooster - to select the healing Remote Booster

so you could specify in your user.ini file
Shift=SelectTriple
so that pressing the shift key will select the triple damage artifact if you have it.

You could also define
Aliases[37]=(Command="SelectGlobe | OnRelease ActivateItem",Alias="ActivateGlobe")
.........
Backslash=ActivateGlobe
so whatever artifact you have currently, pressing backslash will switch the globe on or of.

I also added a couple of extra commands:

DropHealth - throws 25 health as one of those blue cross pickups

DropAdrenaline - throws 25 adrenaline as a big adrenaline pill
The idea was so that people can feed adrenaline to medics to keep a healing globe running, or a WM could throw some health at someone who was about to die. Encouraging team play

No xp.

There are also additional commands which can be used:

Eject - for engineers. Will eject all players from vehicles and turrets that you have created

Stay - for Extreme Monsters. Will tell your pets to stay where they are

Follow - for Extreme Monsters. Basically undoes the Stay command, so they start following you again

AttackEnemy - for Extreme Monsters. Focus on an enemy like you would with the beam, then tell your pets to attack this enemy. They will until they get distracted by another enemy

All of this will depend of course on which ones Dru wants to make available, to maintain the balance.

Ooooo, I like this one! I feel guilty sometimes when a LA player is maxing my wep, because I know they are having a hard time finding adren and mine is full and they have yet to make anything good for themselves (I'll usually toss them a good gun in compensation)! I also like the idea of the health drop, kinda like a first aid med kit to use untill a medic can get to someone.

Sicky?

Sticky?

Thanks Szlat, those look very useful!

ah so heres the thread with the adrten dropping..

..thanks...also ill use that health drop too..(ps do the other commad you have up there work too ?..i know throw adren is cus is ee players doin it..but the triple / rod ones..?..or the healing blast, sphere?)

cool so are these going to be preset key binds??

oh and where are they put if not preset?

you put them in your ini file in unreal folder..
first you have to enter in your aliases..then you scroll down to corresponding keyboard/button you want to be that bind and enter in the alias.

so you go to C drive...UT folder...system..and user.ini...and it opens in text..

...also while your there you mite (if you wish ) want to change the cache dump time too more than 30days (default time to dump things liek the maps loaded and mods)

Ok so I 'm not such a noob to let everything go to C: drive in case i have to reinstall windows! ( like that never never happens) I'm a noob at some of this modern stuff but i learned to write basic progams in HS. ummm basic means the puter language of basic lol....class was called computer math in the early 70's

ummm sorry if this seems uptight and pompus

just a onry old fart i am

dont quote that! i'll deny it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh sryr i just presumed it was C drv but yeah you just go to watevr drive you installed UT on..then ...well wat i said up there../\...

and yeah you prolly know a ton more than i...

no You prolly know than me but it was a HS class and we had to write programs to "teach" someone to ada and such like that it was a begaining basic computer class using the BASIC programming language.
with that said i've only been put'n puters together since '90 and hate to have to reinstall everything!
1st HD i ever bought was a 200meg one went into a case with a 486/25 chip in it..... i know about puters its just i dont know where certain things should go for "tweak'n" some things ....so thanks for the info have fun

lol....yeah you too but i know very lil about coding and languages in comps..so...you win..

..ha!.....

ok i did just like u said to Szlat but for the lightning rod and it just activates whatever artifact that is show'n do i need to paste to show u what i did?? maybe something wrong??
