Help with Enrage Costume flash bind.

Archived Post

Hi!

Looking to create a bind that will change my costume for as long as I hold down the Enrage power. Visually I have a character named Shaman who looks a bit like a Werewolf and fights with Bestial melee powers. He's got a supernatural theme and what I'm trying to accomplish is having him flash to a full blown werewolf look when I hit the enrage power. Then I want him to change back to his actual look as soon as I let go of the enrage key. He's supposed to have a sort of spiritual flash when the power activates, but go immediately back to his default costume.

If such a thing can't be done then having him shift to wolf form while he's enraged would work but it would be good if he changed back when Enrage wore off.

Thanks for the /assist!

Costume changes are instant, and you can not change to another costume for 30 seconds. To change back you would manually press another key to change the costume.

Hmm, there's two things you might like to fit that concept. For starters the command is setactivecostume 0 #, with your first costume being 0, so to change to your first, it would be setactivecostume 0 0, 2nd setactivecostume 0 1, etc. There is a cooldown of 10 seconds. My first thought was to add the costume change macro to your block. if you have the standard block , parry, or retaliation, ie no extra graphics, it kinda looks like your concentrating hard to keep the beast inside or something.

Create 2 text files in notepad. One named change_normal, and the other change_beast, (just examples, feel free to rename them anything as long as the binds reference the correct text file)

change_normal.txt should read:
SHIFT "+PowerTrayExec 16 $$ setactivecostume 0 1 $$ bind_load_file change_beast.txt"

change_beast.txt should read:
SHIFT "+PowerTrayExec 16 $$ setactivecostume 0 0 $$ bind_load_file change_normal.txt"

then just type into game
/bind_load_file change_normal.txt"

What that should do is each time you block and the cooldown is available, it will switch your costume to the other. You will see yellow messages about how you cant switch costumes yet anytime you hit the block out of sync with the cooldowns, but you can hit f12, and move the notifacation bar, so its not so obnoxious. You could also switch between costume with the the enrage key by doing this:

change_normal.txt:
2 "+PowerTrayExec 1 $$ setactivecostume 0 1 $$ bind_load_file change_beast.txt"

change_beast.txt:
2 "+PowerTrayExec 1 $$ setactivecostume 0 0 $$ bind_load_file change_normal.txt"

then just type into game
/bind_load_file change_normal.txt"

this is assuming your enrage button is in the 2nd power slot. If you prefer something else, just change the first # in each text file to the desired key, and the number after powertrayexec -1.
