Hotkey Suggestion

Remove Locked Hotkeys!

from Demigod Forums

I've been checking the options and realised that some of the button (the camera controls) are locked.

 

Why exactly is this the case?

 

I never actually use "WASD" or "QE" for any camera controls and would much prefer that they could be remapped to other options like "select minions" etc.

Speaking of hotkeys, how about a hotkey that would cause you to cast your beneficial spell on yourself in one stroke? (i.e. Sedna's heal or Oaks shield) Or would that be too easy in the opinion of others?

 

As to your question

"For those who want a "qwer asdf" hotkey grid which normally gets blocked by the pre-defined "wasd" hotkeys for the camera control:

Go to: C:\Users\YOURNAME\Documents\My Games\Gas Powered Games\Demigod\
Open: Game.prefs

And Edit the Section "UserKeyMap". You can copy mine if you like to:

CODE
UserKeyMap = {
                ['Shift-W'] = 'use_summon_2',
                ['1'] = 'control_demigod',
                ['0'] = 'control_minions_special',
                F2 = '',
                ['2'] = 'control_minions_all',
                ['5'] = '',
                F4 = '',
                ['7'] = 'control_minions_soldiers',
                ['6'] = '',
                ['9'] = 'control_minions_priests',
                ['8'] = 'control_minions_archers',
                A = 'use_inventory_1',
                E = 'use_ability_3',
                D = 'use_inventory_3',
                F = 'use_achievement',
                I = '',
                H = '',
                K = '',
                M = '',
                N = '',
                Q = 'use_ability_1',
                F1 = '',
                S = 'use_inventory_2',
                R = 'use_ability_4',
                W = 'use_ability_2',
                X = 'show_skills',
                ['Shift-Q'] = 'use_summon_1',
                ['Shift-E'] = 'use_summon_3',
                Z = 'ping_alert',
                ['4'] = '',
                ['3'] = 'control_minions_allplushero',
                F3 = '',
                P = ''
            }



That will overwrite the camera hotkeys. qwer=skills; asdf=items; 123=select"

This may seem good at first thought, but what about if you DONT want to use the skill on yourself? you would need some other hotkey for this in such a case true? so in this scenario, you would have to memorize and remember 2 hotkeys for just one skill, overcomplicating things rather than the intended, simplify.

In the end, i think most players would stick with the one hotkey for the skill that could do both, as it is now. But maybe the option should be there for people that are egoistical and always just heal/shield themselves anyway, so they could memorize this instead and dont have to click the target =)

I think what would be more beneficial than a self-targeting hotkey is if you could target yourself with spells via the portrait display rather than having to find yourself on screen; just as you can in the Warcraft games.
