Dino Attack Assistant

Description
Holding down left or right click while mounted will now repeat the dino attacks. (no more spaming attack buttons).

USERS::
You can disable the attack on holding by pressing ALT+1 for left click and ALT+2 for right click. please it again to reenable it.

ADMINS::
You can blacklist specific dinos left/right click by holding ALT while pressing left or right click to blacklist/whitelist dinos while riding them.

NOTE :: for attack and alt attack to auto attack, the have to use the default keybinds of left and right click.

I was looking for a way to make unmounted dinos use their second or third attacks, would this work for that?

This is the best mod ever made for this game I swear. It's criminal they never made it this way in vanilla. Finally I don't have to go through an entire mouse every time I want to run the water cave.
Cheers <3

@Temil2006 Hi, thanks for creating this mod and sharing it with all of us. It's working great so far and definitely something I don't want to go ever stop using. It is much more convenient than using a macro to toggle auto attack on/off.

I'm using another mod (Super Spyglass) that uses Alt+RightClick but doesn't function anymore due to a conflict. Would you consider releasing a version with a different bind or one that allows the keybind to be configured?

A lot of mods that have keybinds also use Alt as a modifier and most cannot be configured either, so if I were to suggest an alternate keybind that would likely not conflict with other players and their mods, and considering blacklisting/whitelisting is likely not a frequent action needing to be performed, I would say Ctrl+Alt+Right.Click/Left.Click would probably be good.

Amazing mod, is there any chance i can get it working on a gamepad (controller), i tried to remap but didnt work, maybe im doing something wrong, any help would be appreciated.

@Wilco_90 99% of the time, the dino will get stuck in an attack loop. Tell me if you find the correct way to stop it (normally the dino should stop attacking when button is released, but it doesn't and it is hard to stop). Sometimes I can make it stop by double clicking 1, 2 or 3 times, sometimes I need to press shift + click and sometimes I need to dismount the dino.

This is a godly mod, to be honest it should be an option in the base game.
I am trying it out on my Fjordur server.
So far tested only a few, works with giganoto, Rex, R-allosaurus, Gacha.
Did not seem to work right away if I force tamed creatures.
Ill do some further testing when i'm back from vacation next week.

The mod description is a bit unclear to be honest.
This mod lets dinosaurs auto attack when ridden with just one left mouse button click
so you hold the button to attack instead of spamming.
Admins can ride a specific dino and press alt, left or right click to blacklist the attacks on them.
Would be a bit nice if that would be an ini option.

@Temil2006 Thanks for the feedback, I will try again once you cooked for newer version ;)

Grot :: in reference to you know being able to use ALT+1 or ALT+2 , if you are missing those kind of key combos, not a whole lot I can do to help with that unless you provide what key combination you would like that supports normal keyboards and yours.

Grot :: careful on your statements and assumptions. the comment ".. the author didn't know that we use shift to run" .. the fact that I have over 5000 hrs in ark will tell that I know this all to well. the fact is that I'm not modifying or capturing anything with shift, so any behavior that's happening due to "shift key" is a bug in the game.

That being said, I'm recooking the mod with newer version of devkit as a few other mods I created and that others created had issues that were resolved by recooking in the newer version. Not sure if that will fix the issue.. if it does, then it truly is/was a bug with the game via older devkit mods and not something i had any control over. (which I assume is the case)

Clearly a pain in the ass to use the mod. I have already lost dinos beacause I couldn't flee and was stuck on auto attack. Of course I can't disable using alt+1 or 2 because I don't have a qwerty keyboard.
The mod itself is a great idea but using shift clearly breaks everything. I think the author didn't know that we use shift to run...
