Regardless of if i hold back

Post by A55K1KA » Sat Feb 07, 2015 6:30 am

Regardless of if i hold back or not, I cannot definitively say if its possible to do exactly what I want. I can get my hotkeys working but it would be a major step down from what i was hoping for.


my end goal was to have a expanded hotkey set that basically doubles the avilable slots from the standard 7, since the mcm side is working I can use my scripts to successfully emulate keypresses using the normal 3 DPad options (left, right and down), with a slight hiccup.. any items in those slots will also be used.


However I cannot use the other slots in a satisfactory manner since i have found no way to completely disable those controls (things like the action, pipboy and reload buttons).


 


If you really have no problem with it, I can finish the script to allow the 3 hotkeys (left, right and down) to set and emulate keyboard presses and call the added effect of the used items on those slots a "feature".


I wont be able to do so until atleast 3 hours from now though, as I am re-installing NewVegas.

Take a look at the code I've given you, and you'll see I've 'Stacked' those 3 hotkeys. When your weapon is out and you're holding the left trigger one set of hotkeys is enabled, hardcoded to PN Zoom (Left & Right), and PN Grenade hotkey (Down). Additionally based on how I've set up my code the Guide button is available to be used in this situation.


The next set is enabled when you've got your gun out and are not aiming. This enables weapon wheel (left & right) and grenade select (down). Guide is also available here.


The third set is available when your weapon is holstered, and is expanded by having the Guide key operate a switch of sorts. Press guide and a message pops up saying you can use JIP CCC Options, which are mapped to the dpad and a click of the right stick to enable the menu. (it's of note that up is available here, because your weapon is not out). A tap of the guide key switches you over to PN Stealth, PN Vision, Flashlight NVSE, and something I'm not thinking of right now.


That's a pretty decent amount of hotkeys mapped to mostly the same four buttons with the only drawback being you have to stop using your quick select box to avoid the 'features' you mentioned.
