Guild Wars 2

Yeah, hi. Fun game, looks pretty.

So, can I turn the camera without holding down my mouse button?

Thanks.

How else would you like to control it?

A and D turn left and right.. No mouse look button if that’s what yer thinking.

Much more easy to use the right mouse to turn as well as looking up and down…all around the word.

Without holding down my mouse button.

A toggle, perhaps. A feature that I’ve become quite accustomed to.

There’s no in-game option that allows it but you can probably set-up your mouse or keyboard to do with it some remapping and a macro, depending how fancy your input hardware is

Yes, I have the means to do that, but is it allowed?

I first wanted to ask if there was an official option to do this before I had moved to that solution.

The general rule of thumb for macros is one macro keypress = one output keypress. In your case I’d suspect it would be fine if you make a macro that toggles pressing a button down and one to release it. (In which case it would in essence be two macros to one key).

Macros are only an issue if you’re making combinations. For example, pressing the G11 macro key on my keyboard to act as hitting F1 is fine. Setting the macro to act as hitting F1+V is not ok.

Alright, apparently I know nothing about macros and I’m too low on sleep to be patient about it.

Does anyone have any idea how I would go about making it so I can toggle the camera on and off? To make it so I only have to press the right mouse button instead of hold it, or how to assign it a different key entirely?

I’ve got a Roccat Isku keyboard, it has a ton of macro options, but I’ve never bothered to familiarize myself with it because I’ve never needed to use them until now.

Mouse isn’t anything special, just a Logitech G500.

Or is there some other program I could use?

My wrist is acting up again, it hurts too much to play comfortably and I’m too tired to sit here anymore. Hopefully there will be some answers by the time I come back.

Thank you, and I appreciate any and all assistance in this matter.

I’m running all Logitech stuff and it doesn’t seem what you want is doable. Even if you set a macro to only act as a button-press down (without going back up), it does the full keypress rather than the holding-the-button-down behavior you want.

Play around a bit with your keyboard’s macros. As far as I can tell, the Logitech ones won’t work.

If it’s just your mouse-hand that hurts quickly, perhaps binding a keyboard macro to the regular left-click function would be enough. My Logitech keyboard gives the option for macro keys to mimic mouse-button actions. You’d still have to hold the button down, but it may be easier since it’d be on your good hand. I don’t know, just food for thought.
