Slash Command
/powexec_location loc power
Allows location targeting powers to be used without having to click.
- Loc is a location specifier. There's several different things you can use here:
- me or self - Both arguments target the power on yourself.
- target - Cast on your currently selected target. If you have no target, the power is not activated.
- direction:distance
- Direction can either be one of six cardinal directions relative to the player: forward, back, left, right, up, down, -or- it can be a number. If it's a number, it is taken as an angle in degrees. 0 is straight in front of you, 90 is right, etc. It can also be camera, to indicate the direction the camera is facing, including elevation.
- Distance is either a number in world units (feet), or the keyword max, which means to use the maximum range of the power.
- cursor - Current location of the cursor. This targeting mode behaves as if the power was activated with a click at the current mouse cursor location. This will allow you to quickly activate a location-targeting power with a key without needing to click (great for teleporting). Note: Before this targeting mode was introduced, the most effective way to use Teleport was to bind it to the left mouse button. Now it's not necessary, however binding Teleport to
shift+lbuttonis still useful if you like clicking to activate the power (or you could bindpowexec_location cursorto the left mouse button for exactly the same effect).
- Power is the name of the power, just like what you'd use with /powexec_name. You can put quotes around the name to make it look cleaner if you want, but they are optional.
- This command can be used in a macro or bind.
- Powexec_location was first introduced at Homecoming in Issue 25.
