Guild Wars 2

I am looking for a way to bind shift + scroll wheel up/down to my pet’s attack/return command. I am so used to this keybinding from WoW on my hunter, that I would like to use it in GW2 aswell, but I can’t seem to do it. Something like this:

Shift + Scroll wheel up = Attack
Shift + Scroll wheel down = Return

I tried using AutoHotkey, but since I’m a total failure when it comes to any sort of programming language, I couldn’t do it, even with a guide next to me “deep shame”. I’m also not even sure if that program is allowed to use, but I see no other option, unless someone can tell me how it’s doable?

I want scroll wheel up/down to remain as zoom function, but if I hold down shift and use the scroll wheel, I want it to command my pet instead.

Thanks for reading this.

To do that you will need a mouse that lets you change what the scroll wheel does since GW2 itself doesn’t allow binding scrolling.

To be more exact, you would need some mouse software (driver or some windows utility) that allows this. I think the standard logitech driver lets you change the mouse wheel function….but I’m not sure how it works with GW2.

Just tried it on my Razer and it works as expected. Changed scroll up to 1 and scrolling up results in attacking with skill 1.

Bind scroll up to left click and put 1 on auto. This way using it will still double-click enemies giving you the same auto-attack function, but you will also be able to spam large stacks of consumables quickly. (Essence of Luck/etc)

Heh I don’t need those. Just confirming it can work.

My stacks of essence of luck never get large enough to be an issue.

Oh actually I just remembered something about AHK. You can set it so the original signal doesn’t get sent so this should be doable with AHK alone.

This turned out to be very easy to to with AHK.
Using the version from http://ahkscript.org but that shouldn’t matter.
Tested in both windowed and full screen.
This assumes you are using the default F1 for attack and F3 for Return.

+WheelUp::
IfWinActive ahk_class ArenaNet_Dx_Window_Class
SendInput {F1}
return

+WheelDown::
IfWinActive ahk_class ArenaNet_Dx_Window_Class
SendInput {F3}
return

Thanks for all the replies and messages people, this forum is very helpful

This is working exactly as I had hoped for, thanks a ton sir!
