Couldnāt you left one of the attacks on the RMB?
Could you explain more precisely why do you have that problem? Maybe I can figure something out.
Why cannot they be on the 2nd bar permanently? Because you have more than 20 skills?
I think 20+ skills is the only problem that cannot be solved somehow but maybe I just cannot imagine it at the moment.
I have 20 slots total (2 bars);
~ 15 of them are occupied by my pets.
~ 1 for Call of the Grave (temporary pet buff-skill on cooldown).
~ 5 aura/buff skills to toggle (once at start of game)
This way I am already 1 slot short.
But to get the spam-fire working, I had to place them in slot 1 and 2 of the first action bar (donāt know how to do it another way).
Which means I lost 2 more slots on the action bars.
My ini file now looks like this:
Pet Cabalist
[general]
suspend_key=Tab
[combo presses]
combo1=BS:3,4,5,6,7,8,9
delay1=300
combo2=NumpadAdd:t,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,t
delay2=300
[periodic casts]
cast1=RButton:1,2,0
delay1=100
Combo 1 & 2 are the group pet summons (works great!)
The periodic cast is the spam fire (skill 1 & 2), with 0 being Call of the Grave buff thrown in, to activate as soon as cooldown allows. I often forgot to use it, which was a total waste of skill points.
I deactivated error/cooldown messages in-game so I donāt get txt on screen or annoying voice.
Thanks for explaining everything in detail Iāll think about it butā¦ 15 pets?
15 different pet species? 
Youāre not repeating any of them, do you?
(sorry for stupid questions, please not be offended by them
but you need to check everything while writing with someone like that
sometimes people donāt see some silly mistakes / typos)
Btw If you have RMB free you can put one of the 3 skills that is spammed when you hold RMB I guess.
Do you have something on RMB? Then it would look like this (one skill less)
[periodic casts]
cast1=RButton:1,2
delay1=100
Unless none of the skills 0,1, 2 is spammed natively (just cast once) when on RMB slot in-game
then maybe we would have to do it in a different way.
But yeah I donāt think I can work around 20+ skills.
Although I could implement clicking cursor combos I guessā¦
hahaha yes 15 (permanent pets) now and hopefully 16 soon when I finally get Heart of the Mountain to drop for my Yeti-pet 
Itās my own fault. I wanted as big as an army of pets I could get. Thatās one of the reasons I installed the Reborn 3.0 mod. The ranged attacks I spam also trigger the spawning of temporary chtonian and ghost pets. Filling my screen with loads of extra minions. I even have pets spawning when I get hit.
Not only that, but to top it all off, I deliberately picked devotions for my pets with glorious visual bombardments of Meteors, Blizzards and thunderstorms. Which all proc nonstop.
In combat I seriously have a hard time to see my own character sometimes in all the visual carnage, but itās G L O R I O U S 
You probably already guessed I am a bit of a summoner-lover. Itās my favorite class in all rpg games.
I want to thank you. These tweaks made my enjoyment of the game much bigger.
I would much rather spend 10 seconds at the start of the game switching out a few buttons to activate my auraās/buffs, than the hassle of checking which pets to respawn with wich button-press.
Gameplay is much faster and fluent now and the double ranged attack-spam is the icing on the cake <3
Super happy with this. I am glad I found you on YouTube and followed your advice.
Thanks dude !
No problem. Just a quick tip
You can use YOLO mouse (big colorful cursor) if you donāt see your cursor. I do that even not having pets.
So, I need help.
I used a (very) old version of GDAutocaster a while back just for casting stuff like Blood of Dreeg on cooldown and it worked fine. Recently I downloaded the newest version to do the same. My config file looks like this:
[general]
game_window_id=ahk_exe Grim Dawn.exe
suspend_key=0[autocasting]
master_toggle=9
pressed_buttons=0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8[7]
skill=Word of Renewal
toggle_key=7
delay=1000[6]
skill=Blood of Dreeg
toggle_key=6
delay=1000
Now, the issue I have is that sometimes when I stop playing there are like 6-10 instances of GDAutocaster open on my PC. Usually itās just kinda weird, but doesnāt really affect gameplay.
Today, however, the tool started sending me error messages saying something about being unable to close the previous instance of GDAutocaster and if I wanted to keep waiting or not. I shouldāve written down the exact message, canāt remember it now. But I just panicked cause it opened like a hundred of those messages and just wouldnāt stop - had to just shut my PC down on the power button.
Also, not sure if related, but when I switch from the game window into my web browser and then go back sometimes the autocaster just keeps going. But more often than not it just stops and I have to press the toggle button (9) for it to start again. Which is not a huge deal, just kinda odd that it sometimes keeps going and sometimes just stops. The big issue is the one above though.
Could you see how many instances of GDAutocaster do you have when you
Then look in the task manager how many instances of GDAutocaster. I looks like GDAutocaster is not closing for some reason.
Also things Iād like you to try
Try running the program as administrator (it only presses buttons / closes, restarts itself so wonāt do any damage)
Always give GDAutocaster a few seconds after to go to the gameās window before next Alt Tab
What I mean is donāt Alt + Tab and go back to the game in like 1s. Or reverse donāt go the the gameās windows and alt Tab 1 s later. Not change these states more often than once every 5 seconds (Iāll improve it but itās just how it is now)
What do you mean by keep going? Is it when youāre browsin some Grim Dawn site maybe? Having to press toggle button again is a consequence of me restarting the program after the gameās windows becomeās active. Iām doing it to have hotkeys worked 100% of the time after starting the program which I couldnāt do without this hack. But I think I can implement remembering ābeing toggledā again in a different way.
Please try using GDAutocaster now the way I described / maybe make the test I mentioned (not alt Tabbing / activating gameās window more than once every 5s <- maybe you wonāt have any issues then).
After that and hearing if it changed anything Iāll make some changes to the program to improve some of the things you talked about.
Update https://github.com/kowariantny/GDAutocaster/raw/master/GDAutocaster.exe
1. Autocasting on toggle state remembered between Alt + Tabs again
2. Small technical improvement
You shouldnāt now need to retoggle autocasting_on_toggle again after gameās window active again
Now the program restarts immediately after the gameās active not 3 seconds after [technical]
It may influence quick subsequent Alt Tabs + coming back to game + Alt tabs
So the tip I gave you to Alt+Tab / gameās active with 5s frequency at least should not be needed
Now just try what I already written which is
maybe running the program as administrator
checking whether thereās only once instance of GdAutocaster after you
Now you shouldnāt need a few seconds between those but maybe just a second or two
(this probably only applies in practice if you have a game windows and you would rapidly click on the window and on the desktop quicker than once per second?)
The program reads command line / shortcut arguments
GDAutocaster.exe config.ini Ā Ā Ā (reads config.ini and skips file selection dialog)
GDAutocaster.exe config.ini whatever Ā Ā Ā (reads config.ini, skips file selection dialog, starts autocasting on toggle automatically)
Ok, so I do alt + tab away from the game and back into it quite fast sometimes - the other day I was just checking a farming route for example, so I was probably going back and forth in a few seconds. I guess that might have been the issue.
In any case, Iāll test the new update later today when I get time to play and say how it goes. Thanks 
Ok, tested it for about 40-ish minutes, with window swapping every now and then, and it worked seamlessly. Only one instance active, and it also resumed casting every time I got back to GD 
(which is great cause Iāve lost count how many times I almost died on my HC char by running around Ugdenbog with 40% poison resist until I noticed Blood of Dreeg was off).
Havenāt tried using it as admin as I decided to check it without selecting that first. Since it worked I guess thereās no need for that.
Also, just added the shortcut thing to skip the config file selection dialog and it worked as well.
Thanks a lot for your work and help.
Thanks for not going back to the previous version and testing the new one.

Thank you so much for this wonderful tool tqFan!
Do we have a command or option to assign on mouse scroll? Like WheelUp/WheelDown commands? 
Yes, these are the names of these keys in AutoHotkey. I remember testing in once in some other script and it worked. I bound camera rotation to WheelUp/Down.
Btw half an hour ago I pushed bugfix (Autocasting on Toggle delay wasnāt changing and it was always the default 100ms, never 10s for example) so you may want to redownload if you downloaded the program before that.
| WheelDown | Turn the wheel downward (toward you). |
|---|---|
| WheelUp | Turn the wheel upward (away from you). |
| WheelLeft | |
| WheelRight | [v1.0.48+]: Scroll to the left or right. |
Yes, you should make a combo such as
[combo presses]
combo1=WheelUp:1,2
delay1=200
where 1 is Curse of Frailty,
2 is Bloody Pox
(200 ms delay between buttons presses for such combos is the usual I use)
The drawback of scroll however is that you cannot hold it because I play even most complicated builds by just holding RMB (sometimes also MButton so that it occasionally behaves differently)
[also a button for movement skill, or skills that need to be used occasionally like Mirror / MoT]
so I couldnāt use Scroll because I would always want to bind some Autocast on Hold to it at the same time and itās impossible. Because the coolest things of the program is combining multiple its feature into one button which may look like this
first 2 debuffs are cast
then delayed centered Inquisitor Seal
than after a further delay your channeling attacks or spammable cooldown attacks
You cannot achieve it with Scroll Wheel I think.
Btw write if youād like some config to a build to get to know the program better.
Thank you so much tqFan! Iāll try this right away!
Well Iām totally new to the program so thereās a lot of backspacing going on.
So far I was able to setup perma buffs & periodic buffs.
When you make a change in the config, you donāt even have to restart the program:
new, changed config is loaded again automatically after 3 seconds
Permabuffs usually look like this at my end (T is for swapping hotbar in-game)
[combo presses]
combo1=r:t,1,2,3,4,5,t
delay1=300
Autocasting by hold can be written like this
0, 7 are attacks on cooldown you spam
[autocasting by hold]
cast1=RButton:0,7
This is how I combine it with 2 debuffs (4 i 5) <- actually one can be just on RMB in-game not or 4/5 usually unless itās spammed while you hold RMB
(some skills on RMB in-game are spammed while you hold it, others are not)
[autocasting by hold]
cast1=RButton:0,7
initial_delay1=400
^ 200 ms for each of the 2 debuffs from Combo Presses
[combo presses]
combo1=RButton:4,5
delay1=200
If you have channeling skill (or a skill youād like to have a button pressed down and held) and you want it to cast it with the program with a delay, you can do something like this
7 is your channeling skills
[combo holds]
combo1=RButton:7
initial_delay1=400
initial delay is sometimes needed just to work
or needed when you want to cast some debuffs before channeling
Also remember you can activate these features / combos / casts on double press (and holds optionally)
double_press3=true
double_press3_time_gap=300
If you copy the code, watch out for some typos I may have made.
Thanks a bunch again for the effort & documentation of this tool tqFan!
I hate to ask, but how do I make something like āWord of Painā & āPrimal Strike/Savageryā to work with 1 button?
I mean it works, but you stop & look like youāre lagging for it cast and have to release it or press āmove toā to get close to your opponent.
Thanks again in advance!
Definitely ask such questions because it takes experience, ideas and trying dozens of options to find optimal configs.
I assume youāre asking for virtually one button for moving and everything (I usually use Left for Moving and Right for (almost) everything) which makes things easier. The other thing is Melee Savagery in is one of the hardest skills to work with. Melee is harder to autocast in general than ranged or caster. Maybe I also propose you some option for 2 buttons after you respond.
The way Savagery and other Melee skills that are not bound to LMB behave when there are not monsters (targets) around is unfortunately an engine thing and I cannot do anything about it. It definitely makes scripting them harder.
One could mod Savagery I guess.
1 Button Config
Savagery cannot be on LMB but on the 0-9 hotbar
we cannot detect whether weāre near the monster or not
The only option is the Doube Press I guess
We have 2 options now
Option 1
Option 2
Option 3 (doable but Iām not including the config since itās probably too much)
Config for option 1
LMB - Primal Strike
0 - Savagery
delay1 - less than 2 seconds
double_press1_time_gap
[autocast by hold]
cast1=LButton:0
delay1=1500
double_press1=true
double_press1_time_gap=300
Config for option 2
(this is not obvious that it works because it makes 0 be pressed while LMB is also pressed and multiple buttons pressed down at the same time often donāt work well in Grim Dawn. Inform me if there are some problems but it works for me.)
[combo holds]
combo1=LButton:0
delay1=0
double_press1=true
double_press1_time_gap=300
How to include Word of Pain into this
Maybe cast it once everytime you press LMB or double press LMB? It would need some initial_delays, good config and testing.
How I would cast Wind Devils (example without Savagery but with Word of Pain)
I like them cast all the time which may be not would some players like because they deal a lot of damage. This is an example of how I usually do it. I would maybe cast Savagery with MButton but I donāt know since I havenāt played such builds for a long time (only Ranged Physical Primal Strike which is a completely different story). But I remember also having Savagery button pressed once every 1XXX ms. Maybe it will give you some ideas.
Our goals
Primal Strike (RMB) on RMB in-game
Word of Pain (0) cast once after RMB by the script
Wind Devils (9) cast all the time
[general]
suspend_key=Tab
Word of Pain
[combo presses]
combo1=RButton:0
Wind Devils
[autocast by toggle]
master_toggle=q
key1=9
delay1=200
not_hold_keys19=RButton
^
^we prevent it to be Autocast by Toggle
when we hold RMB (Primal Strike)
[autocast by hold]
cast1=RButton:9
initial_delay1=200
delay1=200
^
^but we autocast if with initial delay1
with Autocast by Hold to crate the gap
where Word of Pain can be cast without
a low probability of being interrupted
by Wind Devil
Another option is to switch from Melee to Ranged Lightning PS Vindicator as itās great too and is better for scripting (because we donāt move when we shot + first Savagery strike is ensured and you can be more precise with everything). But not necessary and maybe youāll like some of the 1-button configs above or some 2-button configs. I think shooting PS feel better in general, not only for AHK. You can cast Inquisitor Seal where you stand and shoot from there
