One more thing - don’t bind ‘1’ to Square (A in Xbox controllers) since in my case it opens Game Menu if you tap the button > 1 times for some reason. others buttons don’t do this.
My next toon is going to be ranged lightning Vindicator so I’ll probably use this script as well.
Hi, I know this is quite an old post but I want you to know that because of this, I am now able to play a vindicator with a controller (due to my hand injury). I am computer illiterate and have no idea how to write all of this so this is a god send. Thank you so much!
Nice to hear someone has found it useful.
FYI, there’s also a program (but it’s only for Mouse and Keyboard)
which can be used to vastly reduced the number buttons used.
I play piano builds with 3 buttons, have many skills on one button, have skills like Word of Renewal autocasted. Unfortunately not for controller, seems to be like it would require a lot of time to achieved that.
The other thing I could make for a controller that would kinda work is i.e. casting all your buffs at the start of the game with one button. You press a button on a controller which has for example 4 bound to it which triggers casting various buffs from the second quickbar (I have this feature in GDAutocaster but not released yet):
[combos]
combo1=h:t,1,2,3,t
If you press h, it instead presses T, 1, 2, 3,T with a delay between them, wherre T is for switching to another quickbar. This way you can cast all 3 buffs from the second quickbar with one press of a button.
I used these combos to cast i.e. Inquisitor Seal, Solael’s Flame and Word of Pain using one button with my chaos Inqusitor because they can and even should be cast at the same time every 8 seconds or when you approach a new group of enemies.
Other stuff from GDAutocaster like autocasting wouldn’t work with a controller sadly because they demand constant M&K input mode not controller input mode.
Do you mind posting a step-by-step on how to get this to work on steam controller?
If I were to change toons to something that does not need this type of casting would I need to switch steam configurations? I frequently change toons since although I’m looking at playing a deceiver build I want to go back to my warlord from time to time to farm items.
It might not be exactly center because head is in the center not feet
but maybe first test it before we correct it. We can also change it so that it doesn’t work when not in-game so that it can be running permanently on the computer. But first maybe test it. You need to move your analog stick after casting it I think to go back to controller mode.
step by step would be
Bind “1” to controller button as shown in the firsrt picture
Bind Inquisitor Seal to Right Click in Game on the Hotbar as shown in the second picture
now to run it
run the exe
Now in-game
pressing a controller button should press 1
this in turn is read by the program/script which moves cursor and click Right Mouse Button
this casts Inquisitor Seal in the center where cursor now is
you now need to move analog stick or something like that to go back to controller mode
nevermind I feel derpy, I was using my controller to set it up but I should be using mouse. So I can bind it to anything? I don’t want to use X since I use that a lot on other builds
Dunno, first maybe you could test if you set up Big Picture correctly.
For this you could bind H temporarily (or whatever you used in Big Picture) to some Grim Dawn skill in keyboard bindings.
And then check if you pressing Controller Button activate this skill which would prove it also presses H
I’m sure i have my controller binded through bigpicture,otherwise i wouldnt be able to use the custom controls i am using for controller. The problem is in fact that if i bind 1 to any of the controller buttons or any other keyboard control, it just doesn’t work, which is weird because keyboard controls does work when i try them on my keyboard, they just doesn’t if i bind them to the controller. I dunno what is wrong with it in all sincerity.
so I’m testing it right now and it doesn’t work for me either
I mean 1 on R1 doesn’t seem to cast a skill from hotbar after moving a cursor (which switches to mouse mode)
but no worry, I should be able to get to the bottom of this
AutoHotkey detects that R1 (Joy6) and does some stuff.
Now if you want me to make some initial version of Centered Seal for you,
(or maybe configure the next version of Centered Seal) you need to run this program JoyDetect.zip (638.3 KB) (it’s from AutoHotkey official site to see which number X (for JoyX in the code below) corresponds to you gamepad button)
(the program displays this window near your cursor)
