Description
This mod allows you to trigger unit abilities using the Ctrl+Alt+1-9 keyboard hotkeys.

You'll need to download this program and and run it before or after you launch the game. It's a compiled AutoHotkey script:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/1bm7m4kh8rn83kw/pj_abilities_glue_alt.exe?dl=0

OR

if you don't trust .exes from the Internet, install AutoHotkey and run the script directly:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1s0Qx1Kpa2ceClln_pKBcWaPiOz77f-6K

The script listens for Ctrl+Shift+1-9 hotkey presses, then passes them to the game. I have to use an external script since it's impossible to directly catch the hotkey presses from inside the game.

You can edit the script so it is some other combination of key presses, if you're familiar with AutoHotkey.

Script mod so compatible with everything.

This is the alternative Ctrl+Shift+1-9 version (Shift instead of Alt):

F1::
Send {Ctrl Down}
Send {Alt Down}
Send {1 Down}
Sleep 10
Send {1 Up}
Send {Alt Up}
Send {Ctrl Up}
Return

I tried something like this, but it's causing it to activate Spell 1 (Alt+1) instead of the Ability 1 (Ctrl+Alt+1). Please help!

Quick question if you don't mind:

If I want to bind them to F1 through to F6 instead, what do I need to change in the AHK script? Or do I need to change the .lua file too?

I'm thinking maybe just add some lines to the AHK so F1 through to F6 now simulates Ctrl+Alt+1-6, but I'm not sure what the commands are.

Hi again, Im braindead, and also remind everyone, you need not only to download the exe script but also activate it in the warhammer 2 profile, now everything works properly. Thanks a lot for the patch, you gave the only possible solution!:steamthumbsup:

Hi, tried this mod, for some reasons it simply not reacting, maybe im doing something wrong? Downloaded from dropboxes, it started to be active in the tray, and nothing happening.

The dropbox link should work fine, just close the popup and press the download button.

or you can directly run the script by installing autohotkey on your pc and then running the ahk script

your dropbox links aren't working for me and not sure where to find program to run the AHK


if you can help itd be much appreciated i love the idea of this mod and would love to try it, especially considering TTW3 is coming an if this mod gets traction maybe CA will change the spell mechanics

If you're using the exe you have to run it every time, it's just a program, nothing gets installed when you run it.

do i need to install the apps again, after quit the game?

Pressed the update button, nothing changed in the mod.

I made the Ctrl+Alt+1-9 versions, I think you're right in that they work better.
