I was playing the ancient game Diablo again for kicks and was slightly irritated by the fact I could not use WASD like most games now a days. I took a shot at making the WASD keys work.

I got the keys to work individually with this code:

Yeah, I was thinking of using GetKeyState(), wasnt that familiar with it, but I think I get it now.

Ouch, is that an infinite loop i see there? How about using something like this instead:

[[VxE]]

This should allow 8-direction movement (and can spam click optionally)

@VxE
While your code works, it's terribly inefficient by being based on a loop running at short intervals, and by repeating redundant arithmetic operations. The only advantage to my version is maintainability, by allowing easy redefinition of the movement keys. This should be addressed by using a better language (that supports higher level abstraction) instead of compromising performance. You also managed to make one part both hard to read and slow. Change If ( dx + dy*2 ) to If (dx | dy)

Hi CraSH,

I actually wrote a DiabloII leveling script not too long ago. It is pretty slick if I do say so myself. It will play endlessly, if you die it will recognize that fact and reload the last saved game.

I've been toying with the idea of posting it to the forum. I'll speed up my timeline if you are interested.

Yes, I am very interested. I am curious how you are targeting enemies, and if your script works for multiple abilities and classes.

Hi Crash,
Sorry it took so long to reply... I don't check my personal email as much as I should.

I tried several different methods of targeting enemies, but came to the conclusion that it was just better to flail around and let them come to me (Use the shift key while clicking left-mouse), it is actually pretty effective.

I have used the script to level my Druid (Dimensional Blade - undestructible - kind of important) and Amazon archer.

I posted the script here:
Diablo 2 Expansion Auto-Leveling Script

Hey I think you should make a video of how to change the diablo keys to work as you say cause im a little confused = P

MouseGetPos, saveXpos, saveYpos
MouseClick, left, %halfwidth%, 5, 1, 0, D
MouseGetPos, new_saveXpos, new_saveYpos

But I do not know how I would make it work to allow you to go diagonal.

I was think of doing something like:

SorryBut (or [VxE],

If your still around, I can't get SorryBut's FINAL version to work. How do you run it anyway, with AutoHotKey?

I tried that program, but when I run the script (w/ game), NOTHING happens. What am I doing wrong??

Does this work with any version of Diablo 2 and it's expansion?

[codybear]

I'll test it when I get some time today. I have to do some computer and tech support things today.

Edit: quick question, what version of AHK are you using? Basic or AHK_l? That way I can test it with that version if no one else replies with the solution before I am able to. (im on my phone at the dmv).
