Please help a total noob with creating a very simple addon!
Hi guys, never done any kind of programming before (most I've done is shader work in UDK), I'm really keen on putting a very simple addon to basically enable Modifier Keybinding (which is a feature that a LOT of people have been asking for but nobody has made it yet!)
Basically, for me anyway, I'd like to change my skillbar binds from 1,2,3,4,5 - to SHIFT + Q,E,R,F,G
For me I find QERFG much easier to press than 12345, but since QEF e.t.c are bound to quite important in-game functions (also I like having E as interact e.t.c), it makes sense to use the shift modifiers.
An addon that simply allows players to use modifier keybindings would be great but I feel that would be harder for me to make than simply changing the keybinds in the binding.xml (we're getting to the point where I don't really know what I'm talking about, so you'll have to excuse me).
I reverse-engineered someone elses addon to create my own addon (as I had literally 0 idea how to do it), I managed to get it to load in-game with the .txt file, but the code I put in the .xml was clearly incorrect (I'm at the point now where I simply don't know what code for it is)
<Bindings>
<Layer name="General">
<Category name="Combat">
<Action name="Ability_1">
<Down>KEY_Q mod1</Down>
</Action>
</Category>
</Layer>
</Bindings>
I also tried KEY_SHIFT, KEY_Q, neither of them worked, I was wondering if any of you guys could give me any help or direction on how I could get this mod to work? even if you want to create it yourself and take all of the credit, a really simple mod would be hugely popular if the people who needed it knew about it!
Thanks a lot.
