any official auto cast feature planned?

[HTF]

Does anyone know if Dev's are planning to implement official auto cast feature? currently i can only use the numpad trick but i would really like a real auto cast feature like in some other aRPG's

[LeoBerlin]

Yeah, pretty much just:

is skill on CD = no
Does character have enough mana = yes

=

Cast skill

They said they want to implement it after the autorun feature, but before the autoloot feature.

Sadly they had to abandon the autostart feature for the app due to GDPR reasons :(

lol. Seriously how hard is it to actually play a game?

[LeoBerlin]

Not hard at all but its also stupid if you have a spell (which alot of builds have) that you want to cast permanently if you have the mana/cd is ready.
For example with my necro i cast Summons wraiths every 4 seconds all the time..

Still the problem is this make passive and brainless the auto skill, all pure aura like could be like that but I don't see it as an improvement.

I also played a summoner and despite it had ton of "true" summons, wraith should have been on start like I made it evolved, you can target a location this making it a much more interesting skill.

If aura and buffer can be auto cast then better design them like in Titan Quest, they are activated or not and eat a percentage of full mana when activated.

I dont see this as a problem like you. Its a simple Quality of Life feature. If you want to use it do it if not then dont...

[Dorok]

What's your character level? I'm surprised there's such auto wrath possible, without bothering you for mana. If there's many skill like that, no target, mana cost low enough to be used constantly, ok I see your point for an auto cast or better a sustained spell design.

But not sure it's per design, and more a temporary setup you won't be able use long, or a setup that won't work anymore once everything is tuned.

[LeoBerlin]

My level is 76 i think. I can sustain about 40-45 (flame) Wraiths + 8 skelettons + 4 Death Knights consistent.
My mana pool is only 159 i refill it with my Rip Blood setup. Also i can keep my ward around 20k+ this way, if i need i can go up to 60k ward.

But nothing does really matter. Autocast is a QoL feature, if you dont like it dont use it. No one should be forced to use it. Right now iam not even using the Numlock Trick to autocast iam just holding down my Wraiths summon key.

[Kotli]

The Num lock trick is just a way of making the key perma hold down with out having to hold the key down.

I don't know, I never saw auto skills cast in Diablo like, this looks a lot like idle games stuff.

But if it's so important for you, you can use Autohotkey to program a key so it behaves like a toggle.

[Dorok]

I did a quick search for Autohotkey, and as usual with it, it seems very complicated when it isn't.

I didn't tested and you need use a version not too old, but this should do the trick, you probably need involve two keys, q is the key toggle you'll use for Wraith skill, s is the key binded in game to trigger this skill.
q::
Toggle := !Toggle
If Toggle
Send {s Down}
else
Send {s Up}
return

You'll need check a bit the doc of Autohotkey on where put the script and how activate it and stop it. Don't try auto detect the game, just get use activate it and desactivate it, that's fast.

And if you think it's a hassle because of this game, in fact ton of games could use toggle and don't, typical is move forward. Quote also that this solutions means that the game manages itself the press key to repeat the action.

Because video games can be rather complex, sometimes such script can lost track of the toggle because of a game crash or something, but it's not a big deal in my experience.

The dev team is typically trying to get away from any skill being set to auto-cast by making them more situational (like they did with the Flame Ward changes). Until they reach that goal for every skill in the game, using num-lock to auto-cast skills is fine by the devs at this time;

Automation that includes movement of characters, movement of the game cursor, or actions that depend or react to the game state are not allowed by Eleventh Hour Games.

Num lock doesn’t move the character, move the game cursor, depend or react to the game state.
If something else follows that same criteria and has the same effect as num lock, it’s fine.

Lol, I'm not used to MP, looks like Autohotkey could generate some problems then, but I hope not when playing with a character offline. So this could be relevant for MP but hardly for single player offline or it will be a clear dev bug. I want see a dev ban me for single player offline, lol.
