I was looking for a way to make unmounted dinos use their second or third attacks, would this work for that?

This is the best mod ever made for this game I swear. It's criminal they never made it this way in vanilla. Finally I don't have to go through an entire mouse every time I want to run the water cave.
Cheers <3

@Temil2006 Hi, thanks for creating this mod and sharing it with all of us. It's working great so far and definitely something I don't want to go ever stop using. It is much more convenient than using a macro to toggle auto attack on/off.

I'm using another mod (Super Spyglass) that uses Alt+RightClick but doesn't function anymore due to a conflict. Would you consider releasing a version with a different bind or one that allows the keybind to be configured?

A lot of mods that have keybinds also use Alt as a modifier and most cannot be configured either, so if I were to suggest an alternate keybind that would likely not conflict with other players and their mods, and considering blacklisting/whitelisting is likely not a frequent action needing to be performed, I would say Ctrl+Alt+Right.Click/Left.Click would probably be good.

Amazing mod, is there any chance i can get it working on a gamepad (controller), i tried to remap but didnt work, maybe im doing something wrong, any help would be appreciated.

@Wilco_90 99% of the time, the dino will get stuck in an attack loop. Tell me if you find the correct way to stop it (normally the dino should stop attacking when button is released, but it doesn't and it is hard to stop). Sometimes I can make it stop by double clicking 1, 2 or 3 times, sometimes I need to press shift + click and sometimes I need to dismount the dino.

This is a godly mod, to be honest it should be an option in the base game.
I am trying it out on my Fjordur server.
So far tested only a few, works with giganoto, Rex, R-allosaurus, Gacha.
Did not seem to work right away if I force tamed creatures.
Ill do some further testing when i'm back from vacation next week.

The mod description is a bit unclear to be honest.
This mod lets dinosaurs auto attack when ridden with just one left mouse button click
so you hold the button to attack instead of spamming.
Admins can ride a specific dino and press alt, left or right click to blacklist the attacks on them.
Would be a bit nice if that would be an ini option.

@Temil2006 Thanks for the feedback, I will try again once you cooked for newer version ;)

Grot :: in reference to you know being able to use ALT+1 or ALT+2 , if you are missing those kind of key combos, not a whole lot I can do to help with that unless you provide what key combination you would like that supports normal keyboards and yours.

Grot :: careful on your statements and assumptions. the comment ".. the author didn't know that we use shift to run" .. the fact that I have over 5000 hrs in ark will tell that I know this all to well. the fact is that I'm not modifying or capturing anything with shift, so any behavior that's happening due to "shift key" is a bug in the game.

That being said, I'm recooking the mod with newer version of devkit as a few other mods I created and that others created had issues that were resolved by recooking in the newer version. Not sure if that will fix the issue.. if it does, then it truly is/was a bug with the game via older devkit mods and not something i had any control over. (which I assume is the case)

Clearly a pain in the ass to use the mod. I have already lost dinos beacause I couldn't flee and was stuck on auto attack. Of course I can't disable using alt+1 or 2 because I don't have a qwerty keyboard.
The mod itself is a great idea but using shift clearly breaks everything. I think the author didn't know that we use shift to run...

Ah, just read that someone below figured out it was happening while also holding shift. Good to know.

Definintely still getting the issue of auto attack occasionally being turned on and not turning off, even after you release the button, until you click again.

Awesome mod, thanks. Anyone having issues with auto-attack getting stuck on? Has happened with multiple dinos. Turns off when you click again.

would you know how to make your following dinos or group attack when you press a key? That would pretty awesome

Possible to rebind the alt key to something else?

Quality of life mods like this are much needed, thanks

How have I never looked for this...

Thanks for the attempted fix! Seems to be working so far. :)

thank you so much for this my fingers are saved

Hey, is it intentional for it to continue to auto attack sometimes on shift click? (it only happens when the dino isnt blacklisted so i assumed its this mod)
if it is, is there any way to disable that (on rockdrake it will go nuts when flying after first going to a wall fast)

I agree, blows my mind that this mod hasn't gotten more attention. Saves my fingers lol.

how is this 0 stars ? this is like a MUST HAVE to play this shitty game ^^ thanks alot , gonna try right now

mod id=1428568964

remember, the id can also be found in the URL...

mod ID??

Having the same issue as I.C.E. but it also happens after holding quite frequently. Mostly seems to occur on Argentavis so far.

Really hope it gets fixed, as this has become a must have mod for me. Should be part of the default game imo.

what is this mod id? need for a server addition!

Forgot to clarify: Described below usually happens after a CLICK , if I press and hold mouse button, it's usually fine

Great little mod, like others that you made, but looks like it got a bug very recently. I'm not 100% sure if it's not a mod conflict, but Ark was updated recently and now like 7 out of 10 time autoattack will stuck, forcing a mount to attack continuously after even a single click. Usually it takes another click or 2 to stop it, but when using a flyer it's real pain, because of rapid stamina loss.

When a dino is set to auto attack,will it keep doing it if you dismount?

got a few ideas coming based on feature requests, but don't have time due to work and life and all till this weekend to work on them. just keep an eye out.

Ok, I've been using this for a bit, and it works great, exactly how you would it expect it to...
Except it seems a bit buggy with the rock drake, sometimes it'll trigger and make him keep left-clicking despite not holding the left mouse button. Normally I can just click again to make it stop, but when climbing with a drake, a bad left click can send you flying into element...
The other problem I've noticed is the rollrat: for it to roll you need to hold right click, but when you hold right click the mod activates and stops the roll.
I was able to fix the rollrat by just disabling the right click on it, so it's not a problem, but to fix the drake I need to disable its left click, which means the drake can't function at all for this mod.
Overall, good job, but I'd like to know if you could do something for the drake.

Can't wait to use it! The name sounds like it boosts attack rather than save your mouse and fingers.

Well, the decision to add this to my mod list took about 1 second. I always hoped they'd add something like this sometime, but they never did.
Good job, assuming this works, I will probably never not be using it.

Now I don't have to have like 4 Auto-ing Programs to play Ark! :D

Yes, when auto attacking with a morealops tonight, it would take a partial step, toss its head, and a partial stel, ect.. every 6 iterations, it was able to hit new bushes to harvest, I would like the option to program it, dino, or class specific, on the fly, to delay the follow up attacks.

AArdworf_Phi :: to clarify your request.. you are asking for a method to Increase and Decrease the how often the auto attack is triggered when holding the button down? yours was more detailed as to the reason and all..but in short, thats what you are asking. .right?

Im still getting used to the function, but Id like to know if you can do another option, say Alt-3 to add a .5 second delay, (stackable) and alt-4 to remove a .5 second? Im thinking about trikes, and morealops, harvest machines, they auto munch as I stroll around ;)

just glad I could help. I also used to old feature that was previously posted, even though it was buggy, it worked. Once the modder removed it, I figured there was others that wanted this, so this mod was born, and with more features ;) let me know if anything is missing, etc.

I've been hoping someone would recreate this function, I really like that its dino specific, thank you.

and fingers.

This mod saves lives.
