Warhammer Online Tip – Setting Up Hot Keys For Tactics

I’m not sure why this isn’t built into Warhammer Online, but I always found it annoying that there wasn’t an easy way to hotkey between your 5 different saved tactics. Especially when its built into the game to do so. So this Warhammer Online Tip will show you guys how to do it.

First get familiar with the macro system so that you can create a macro, and set it to your action bar. I don’t feel like recyling this information so go here for a detailed post about it at a wall of text.

Now after you have read that post, and know how to make a macro properly. Create these 5 macros, and set them up with hotkeys via the key mapping feature (Esc -> Key Mapping)

/script TacticsEditor.OnSetMenuSelectionChanged(1);

/script TacticsEditor.OnSetMenuSelectionChanged(2);

/script TacticsEditor.OnSetMenuSelectionChanged(3);

/script TacticsEditor.OnSetMenuSelectionChanged(4);

/script TacticsEditor.OnSetMenuSelectionChanged(5);

It should look like this pic here:

Setting up the hotkeys is also just as easy. I set them up in my 3rd bar like in the pic below:

Notice the same 5 icons on my bar in the bottom left. They are set to Ctrl – NumPad 1 – 5. This way I can hold down the Control key, press 1on the number pad, and it switches me to my Tactic Set 1. I press Ctrl – Numpad 2, and it switches to Tactic Set 2 etc.

Once that is done you are ready to go. No more mouse clicking to change between your Tactic Sets. Enjoy!

That’s brilliant have to try it later.

Got a question… is it possible to bind stuff on mouse scroll up&down? Doesn’t seem to be working for me

Should be possible, the default is for camera zoom in/out.
