Assigning spells and actions to mouse buttons

Assign process and screens

Assigning spells and actions to mouse buttons is one of the core functionalities of ClickHeal. Above is a sample screen of spell and action assignment. Spells can be assigned to below categories:

Friendly	These spells will be cast or actions be taken when clicking on a friendly or neutral unit. This is the player button, the players pet button, the buttons containing the party members and their pets and target buttons, when a friendly or neutral unit is targeted.
Enemy	These spells will be cast or actions be taken when clicking on an enemy unit. This is a unit in one of the target buttons, which is hostile towards you.
PANIC	This is for clicking in the PANIC button, the big blue one. These spells are untargeted (group heal, quaff potion).
Extra1, Extra2, Extra3	This is for clicking in one of the Extra buttons. These spells are also untargeted (group heal, quaff potion).

Spell/Action assign pages are always devided into three sections. These sections are labeled "Mouse 1/3", "Mouse 2/3" and "Mouse 3/3" for each tab and contain the spell assignment pages. By clicking on the dropdown box, you can then choose which spell or action you want to assign to the mouse button, which is shown to th e left. E.g. if you want to assign "Quaff Mana Potion" to the left mousebutton while pressing the ALT key, you go to "Mouse 2/3" page, lookup "AltLeftButton" on the left, click the dropdown to the right of it and select "Quaff Heal Potion" from the dropdown. The contents of the dropdown differ per section, depending on what spells and actions are allowed or make sense. See below for an example of such a dropdown:

Assignable actions

Find below a list of all assignable actions. Some actions are only allowed in a certain context, e.g. you can only attack a unit if it is an enemy. Such actions (Attack) are then only displayed in the appropriate tabs (Enemy).

Action	Allowed	Description
Target	Friend, Enemy	Target (select) the clicked unit.
Assist	Friend	Assist the clicked unit.
Attack	Enemy	Attack the clicked unit.
Pet attack	Enemy	Have your pet attack the clicked enemy. If you order your pet to attack some else than your active target, this might - in some rare cases - break your auto attack/shot. Hunter's Mark: Cast hunter's mark together with ordering your pet to attack. None: Do nothing next to having your pet attack
Use Wand	Enemy	Use your wand on the enemy. This is to shoot at the enemy and probably initiating attack.
Auto Shot	Enemy	This will auto shot your target, like the ability/spell "Auto Shot" does. The difference is that the unit will be targeted before you start shooting, thus making auto shooting of party members target possible.
Eat food	Extra	Eats food, to faster restore your health. Food will be found anywhere in your bags. Conjured food is prefered, food with special buffs will never be used. The food which restores the most hitpoints will be taken. You will not eat anything if you are already at full health.

The values for finetuning are: Prefer: What will be prefered when quaffing. This can be the potion or a Healthstone, which can be conjured by a warlock. If you choose "Highest" then the item with the highest amount of restored hitpoints will be chosen. If one of the items has a cooldown, the other will automatically be taken.

When selecting this entry from the dropdown, an input frame will appear to the right of the dropdown. Here you can enter the name of the item you want to use. When the item is written in orange, ClickHeal can not find the item in your inventory or bags. If it is in red, ClickHeal can see the item. If ClickHeal can find the item, it will also automatically convert the text to proper capitalization. Note that you have to give the exact name of the item which should be used, to avoid misunderstandings.

You may optionally start the code with "/script". Any valid lua code can be entered here. If this code is trigged by clicking on a friendly or enemy button, the unit can be accessed with CH_ScriptUnit.
Dropdown Menu	Friend, Enemy	This will bring the in-game menu, where you can select options for the unit (e.g. inspect). Note that this menu does not show up when you are not in a group!

If you select "highest", always the highest version of the spell will be cast, even if you advance your spell by training. Depending on what tab you are in (Friend, Enemy, Panic or Extra), the spell can or can not be targeted.

Layouts

If you are one of the classes who can shapeshift (druids), use different stances (warriors) or have a different skillset depending on certain situations (hunters for bow/melee, thieves for hide), a dropdown will appear next to the "Defaults" button in your "Spell assign" screens on the Enemy tab. In this dropdown you can chose to which "layout" (stance, shapeshift form) the spell assignment should apply to. ClickHeal will then automatically detect this and will provide you with the correct layout.
