During fighting with malfunctioning Smart cast plugin by KYSXD ;), i come to an idea:

what if the spell that require pointing target, was immediately activated when you press the keyboard hot key, without the need to press left mouse button?

by this time for sure somebody think about it. Probably its already in other games (sc2? i never really play it).

"so what do you want?

is there some plugin/mod with to BW with it? is this in Starcraft 2 (but i dont want to dl this gigabytes just to check it)? maybe its in some other game?

I would like to test it.



None.

In Heroes of the Storm there's a feature like that.

Spells can be set to (if possible) activate on key press/release and target whatever is under the cursor.

I think is also in SCII, I don't remember at this point.

About a plugin... that may be an interesting challange. I'll take a look.

(Just a small correction)
SCII has an "Autocast" system. When activated by a right-click toggle (on the button), the unit will freely cast self/single-target abilities when either idle or attack-moving. The most prominent examples are Stim, Snipe, Magrail Munitions, Shadow Fury, Heal, Repair, Nano-Repair.
Something like this is probably more possible than the Keypress Smart Cast system. First is the fact that medics always perform healing automatically. Secondly, I've seen some siege tanks affected by the "Order: Attack" trigger automatically use Siege Mode when engaging an enemy mob. With EUD's, it is currently possible to modify some of the basic actions of units, although overwriting these may result in weird behavior, ineffective combat performance, or game crashing.

Oh_Man -- No APM in chess. Computer just outthinks the human by seeing more moves ahead and more permutations

NimoStar -- If its any consolation, the human brain would still mop the floor with this bot if it wasn't limited by the mechanical interface
[05:34 pm]
NimoStar -- Well. The bot didn't come up with any new strategy. It just has superhuman micro. Hard to beat that. I reckon even the simplest dedicated chess engines are unbeatable for humans now.

Oh_Man shouted: NudeRaider did u watch the entire video? it's not one game. it's currently dominating the ladder at number 1 position. do ur research first!
Oops, caught me there, no I haven't. :( I was imagining how the game went. Sorry for that. Watching it now. brb

NimoStar shouted: They were not "Unprepared" that was their fifth loss in a row against the bot. The other replays are also available
that doesn't mean he was prepared. When humans come around with new strategies it often takes weeks until the pros figure out how to shut it down. Oh_Man that's certainly a way more convincing argument for micro being "too good to beat".
