Autohotkey script for melee barbarian

I want to share something that really helped me enjoy a melee barbarian with stance on RMB as you no longer have to click like a madman to attack.

install AutoHotKey, right click on your desktop and choose new -> autohotkey script , then paste this code in the empty script:

Code:

SetTitleMatchMode, 2[size=12][/size]
#IfWinActive, Diablo

$MButton::
while GetKeyState("MButton", "P")
{
    Sleep, 40
    Click
}
return

what this does is, as long as you keep the middle mouse button pressed ( in my case this is the mousewheel ) it will keep leftclicking as fast as possible. so you can play melee like you would using the right mouse button.

edited first post, I'm pretty sure I've fixed the issue with the loop getting stuck by making it only click once per frame. I guess it was clicking too fast and the game sometimes would't realize the key is not pressed anymore

Just want to give a quick thanks for this. Barbarian is a ways off on my to play list, but I'll almost certainly break it out then. Autohotkey is a useful program. Used it for Company of Heroes most recently.

you're welcome! I hope it'll be as useful for you as it has been for me

i dont have the option for auto hotkey. is that something i need to download and install before doing what is stated in above thread?

Yup download the program. Then you use a script for whatever application you need. Normally you have to write your own, but thanks to Gekko you can just copy/paste.

I think it would be a good thing for people if you posted a link to a download for the program, since it seems odd to not have a link to it since there are bound to have never heard of said program before like me.

Anyway, it seems like it could be a useful tool but I have no problems playing a barb with my main attack on my left click since that's how I normally play. I'm sure someone will find this useful though.

@ Thall - Good point. For those looking for a link : http://www.autohotkey.com/

Page has instructions, description, and download link at the top.

added link to the first post, let me know if it works well

can this thread be moved to Tools section?
