I have been using GSE for a couple years now and I never got it to work that I can actually make a viable command that uses TWO modifier keys in order to cast something, i.e.
/cast [mod:shift,mod:alt] “SPELL”
I tried all combinations of alt, shift and ctrl and the commands e.g. [mod:shift,alt] [mod:shift,mod:alt] - NOTHING works.
Does this generally not work or am I missing something??
Wouldn’t this trigger a modifier key spell in the same macro as well and thereby not exactly do what I want it to? I use all 3 modifiers in my macros but i just cba to add another one
I usually have
/cast [mod:shift] Spell A
/cast [mod:ctrl] Spell B
/cast [mod:alt] Spell C
so IF i add
/cast [mod:shift] Spell D
/cast [mod:alt] Spell D
would that even work or just create issues with the already existing modifiers?
Now if I do it like this the double modifier never works because shift is assigned to Pyroblast and it ALWAYS tries to cast the Pyro first and fails… When i remove shift from the Pyroblast assignment it works.
I have tried to exclude other mod keys in the modifier for “only SHIFT” like
[mod:shift,nomod:shift/ctrl] [mod:shift,nomod:shift,nomod:ctrl] [mod:shift][nomod:shift,nomod:alt,nomod:ctrl] … you get the point
I tried with commas, semicolons, double and triple brackets e.g. [mod:shift[nomod:alt]] … every alteration i could think of that makes mathematical sense since the addon doesnt understand the normal " ( ) " brackets. And i just can’t get it to work without unassigning the “only one mod key assignments” which obviously defeats the pupose of using 2 keys.
I was looking for a similar thing with a combination mounting and racial macro for a worgen character that I have. This is what I’ve arrived at that functions how I expect:
I found you can’t string together a double modifier like mod:ctrl and mod:alt within a compound command. However, if you use mod:ctrl, nomod:alt and such to make these commands exclusive to a single button press then you won’t have the script attempting to cast two things at the same time and you will also have your icon and tooltip updated to accurately display the item selected.
I made this list a long time ago when I found a website that explained the various values. Hope it helps someone that finds this in the future.
These are the directly addressable modifier keys:
[mod:alt] alt key (meaning either alt key)
[mod:lalt] left alt key
[mod:ralt] right alt key
[mod:ctrl] control key (meaning either control key)
[mod:lctrl] left control key
[mod:rctrl] right control key
[mod:shift] shift key (meaning either shift key)
[mod:lshift] left shift key
[mod:rshift] right shift key
These can be combined by direct concatenation into key AND key like this:[mod:altctrl]
Shift works, Ctrl works, Alt works… but Shift + Ctrl does nothing…
Shift Alt works, Ctrl Alt works… but Shift Ctrl never seems to work no matter what order or method I try.
