Mous Macros

[Crankydruid]

Helo everyone

Well as all healers knows, the game it self do not in anyway help us out with targeting and macros and making it a tad easyer for us.
So i have been runing aorund the net trying to find a solution until BW founds out it is a must.

And it seems there is a very easy way, might be others who knows it already but posting it anyway.
And the first thing you need is a mous with a macro software in it.

I just setup my  G500 with setpoint to it, and it works ingame.

So this is what i have done in setpoint (the software for my mous):

- Make a profil in setpoint, for swtor. (you wont a seperat profil, so you can use the mous normaly enywhere else).
- Bound that to swtor.exe, (found in the swtor>retailclient folder)
- make a macro for your normal action buton numbers, i have made for buton 6 to 11.
- the macro is simpel, record leftclik+X (x the number), save it with a easy name clikcX f.eks.
Edit: I had to input a delay between the mousclick and x key press, 250ms.
Else the game did nto always see that i had switched target to heal, and ended up ehaling myself half teh times.

- now go to the buton setup and edit, all butons except left and right clik, thoes you use in game and cant do without.
- so i bound midel and the rest of the butons, including the speed up and down, i never use them
so i got 6 healign butons now on the mous, with the macro on it.

So now we are done in setpoint. Go ingame and put your healing spels on the acction bare in the numbers/letters you made, that was 6 to 11 for me.
When you now press the buton 6 on the mous, on/over the players frame, portrett or player himself, it selects it and heals in 1 push.
This way when you get new healign spels, or find you use 1 more then the other, just rearange the actionbare, and heal again
So this is a 1 time setup you can use for any healer class ingame.

I found several threds about this, it should work with logithec setpoint, wow mouses and others that has the macro interface and programebel buttons.
It has been used seens early beta, so it seems to be ok by BW.
 
If you have problems, be shure to have the latest software for the mous from the dealer.
And some sayign they had top set the software to run in admin mode to work in swtor, this seems to be the case mostly for the wow mous.

Edit G700:
Okei got my self G700 yesterday and that worked great to, now i have macroed 9 buttons in setpoint
And they are all working ingame.

And i got anser from support asking if this was alowed. And it is:
