A self-target action for Controller

Update:

Here’s a step by step


Download a newer version from here

It might not be exactly center because head is in the center not feet :rage:
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

  1. Bind “1” to controller button as shown in the firsrt picture

  2. Bind Inquisitor Seal to Right Click in Game on the Hotbar as shown in the second picture

now to run it

  1. 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

This is what I see when I get to the game controls:


How do I get to legacy keys?

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

You can use a controller to set it up in Big Picture. I don’t use mouse. Just try changing a button, enter it’s menu and you’ll find legacy keys there


I am trying to download the exe from any of the links but they all say you deleted the file.Could you please reupload it?

Links from here work now: [Tool] Inquisitor Seal cast centrally for controllers in Big Picture

Write if something doesn’t work or you’d like to change something about it.

Uhm, weirdly it is not working for me. I am using a nacon controller, i did what the guide on how to use this say but it just wont work apparently.

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 :laughing:
I mean 1 on R1 doesn’t seem to cast a skill from hotbar after moving a cursor :thinking: (which switches to mouse mode)
but no worry, I should be able to get to the bottom of this

Hey, I managed to do it! Here in the video

  • I press R1 on my Gamepad

  • AutoHotkey detects it, moves the cursor a bit

  • and presses S which I have bound to Oleron’s Rage

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)

shift := 1
delay := 40
vertical_pixel_shift := -20
key_hotbar := "s"

Joy6::
    WinGetActiveStats, Title, Width, Height, X, Y
    MouseMove, shift + Width/2, Height/2 - vertical_pixel_shift, 0
    shift := shift ^ 1
    Sleep, %delay%
    Send {%key_hotbar%} 
Return

(the script for doing what’s in the video, I’ll make Centered Seal program from this)

I think I’ll try adding this feature to GDAutocaster [Tool] GDAutocaster - play 🎹 builds with ease, autocasting of skills, combos, faster / automatic camera, autohiding of items, centered Inquisitor Seal and more for all games!

This is what i get running that program when i press R1 on my joystick.

I just want centered seal to work btw.No need to do anything else xD.

Done. I moved it to GDAutocaster for my convenience.

  • download GDAutocaster

  • unpack test.ini config from test.zip (215 Bytes)

  • run the program, load the config

  • put Inquisitor Seal on RMB in :computer_mouse: & :keyboard: mode (move the cursor to activate it)

    • you could have it on your toolbar in :video_game: mode as well to see the cooldown
  • after casting the seal you need to move your Analog Stick to go back to :video_game:

It still is not working.I am wondering if it is something that is in conflict with grim internals?I run GDAutocaster and do everything you wrote up there but the seal just wont cast under my foots.I should try testing running the game normally instead of running it through grim internals to see if that is the cause of conflict cause otherwise i have no idea.

Edit: the problem is not grim internals. Do i have to bind 1 to R1 in the controller layout in bigpicture like with the inquisitorseal.exe?

nope   since I got it to working we should be able to get it to work on your side as well
Let me thing how to tackle this.
I may ask a lot of questions though

  1. GDAutocaster takes like 3 seconds to start working after you’re in-game

I’m out of ideas then atm. Ill try to figure out what’s wrong but not having knowledge in those things is a thing as well xD. All i can say is that i am using a Nacon controller that is detected as a ps4 controller from steam.Other then that i have no idea :laughing: , thanks for trying to help though.

I’ll test again in a minute and ill tell you.

I use Ps4 controller personally, detected as Ps4 controller, connected with a cable.

You could try increasing the delay to 200 in the config for now.

Also I play in Fullscreen - might be worth checking out.

I could also make some GDAutocastere versiion that logs some stuff

There’s no switching to Mouse & Keyboard mode whatsoever after you press your Gamepad button?

Hey, please run and try to cast Seal with this program

  • make sure you turn off the current program

It should create GDAutocaster.log that I’d like you to send me or paste here

log_GDAutocaster.zip (646.8 KB)


And yes, also try

  • fullscreen

  • running GDAutocaster as Administrator (although I never had to but one person I think did in the past)

  • 200 delay in the config instead of 40 that’s there

I will try after dinnertime. I was running windowed mode in fact, you think that is the problem? I’ll write here later when im back at PC to test.
