Guild Wars 2

Is there any way to enable mouse steering to always be enabled? I am very used to the third person shooter Tera style movement (using WASD to move and mouse to steer WITHOUT having to press the right mouse button) and much prefer it over the WOW style movement employed here, though in WOW it seems considerably more responsive.

Tried to create macros to combine the right click with the W A S & D keys, but not working for some reason. Is there any way in game to allow to be set to work this way that I am missing?

I don’t know of any way to set that up in game. But, I’ve heard good things about ICM: http://wesslen.org/ICM/

It’s not exactly what you’re looking for but I used the Logitech Gaming Software to create a right mouse button toggle switch on my mouse – I push it and it acts like I’ve got the right button held down until I push it again (or push the right button).

Of course it has all the same limitations as actually holding it down, mainly that you don’t have the cursor and can’t click anything (although I recently found out you can still use ground targeted skills) but it does save my finger from getting sore.

If you have a Logitech mouse I can PM you the script, or you can probably do something similar with other mice.

That’s pretty much what I was thinking, but when I try it with my Razer mouse it seems to act, “funny”. Going to play with it more tonight since I guess the game doesn’t have an option to do this in game.

Thanks for the info and the offer, will also check out the link above..

I know a lot of people use AutoHotKey to make the right mouse button into a toggle so you don’t have to constantly hold it down to mouse steer.

This is the .ahk file they use that binds your middle-mouse click to enable it. A single click activates mouse steer and another single click or just clicking your right mouse button will disable it. This is useful so you can disable it quickly to interact with dialogue boxes or your UI and then re-enable it when you want to mouse steer again. It is only functional when GW2 is the active window so even if you enable it while in-game and then go to another app your mouse functions normally. Return to the game and it will still be in the state you left it at; activated or deactivated.

Copy this and paste it into a new .txt file and rename it to be .ahk

#NoEnv
#SingleInstance Force

MouseLook = 1

MButton::
Gosub, ToggleCursor
Return

ToggleCursor:
GetKeyState, state1, RButton
If state1 = U
{
Send {RButton Down}
MouseLook = 1
}
else
{
Send {RButton Up}
MouseLook = 0
}
Return

The “MButton::” part is the designated activation key (middle mouse button). I’m sure you can edit that to another key if you prefer, but clicking the middle mouse button is very handy for quick activation/deactivation.

Just need to download and install AHK and then run this file when you play GW2.
