Hotkeyzzzzzzz

Post by Scroogie »

Hello guys,

i have my hotkeys for melee inf set up as follows: x for cover mode and y for melee mode.
Switching to cover mode works fine, but pressing y to go back to normal melee mode just doesnt happen, even if i spam y for 10sec, am i missing something?

Why not? Doesn't that save a lot of time in crucial micro situations?

@Scroogie Well its a bug in aoe3 hotkeys for unit formations that it may or may not work as i heard from other players,so better not to use hotkeys.
I think @Kaiserklein pointed out this thing earlier.

U may feel using hotkeys in microing is better but in reality it's not just few mille seconds difference between using hotkeys n clicking with mouse won't be game changing and aoe3 is not a FPS game like CS GO so use Ur mouse.

I think it does matter, since in that time you could get an additional drag-micro shot off, and these things add up, also you're quicker to react to things.

Yeah and without hotkey you have to spam click the button when it lags, which isn't better

Switching to melee with hotkey is bugged, its a huge annoyance. After contending treasures, MOST of the time I spam my melee hotkey and sure enough my explorer does not switch. I feel like other units switch with no issue but this happens to me all the time.

I can't speak to if it works without delay when clicking the icon.

This is why I usually make the first melee attack manually instead of switching formations
