Guild Wars 2 Strange 'Mouse' Behavior

[Niroth]

Hi All,

Trying out Pinnacle as a demo to try and play Guild Wars 2 in spite of some RSI issues associated with too much mouse and keyboard time... what this means is unlike the existing Guild Wars 2 profile I saw I am trying to avoid using the mouse at all and the keyboard only for / commands.

I have seen a few folks play TSW and KOTOR using a shift modifier to swap a stick between camera mode and free mouse pointer mode. I attempted to do this by having my unshifted set hold right click and mapping the stick to mouse. On my shifted set I simply have it mapped to mouse.

However when I try this in game I see weird behavior.. the 'camera mode' works great but when I shift to the pointer mode it only works on the vertical axis and if I move left - right it jumps back into camera mode somehow and spins my camera. I even tried making an action called NoClick that just released right click on activation and deactivation but saw the same behavior.

Not sure if this is a Guild Wars 2 thing or a Pinnacle thing, someone might have thoughts on. I know the existing profile does AOE targeting so I assume the mouse pointer must be working there.

Thanks a lot!

EDIT: I tried moving the mouse pointer to my unshifted set and it works ok, so I guess my problem is likely in how I am setting up the sets. Maybe it is jumping back and fourth causing weird look / move / look / move behavior very fast. Is there a menu where you set more options other than just shift yellow.. such as shift yellow when held or toggle yellow when touched?

EDIT2: Ok, I found another thread which told me to make a toggle shift i needed to make it a sticky button as well.. that appears to be working fine now. My pointer mode is now working good as well, but my 'camera' mode likes to jump out and turn into a pointer every now and then instead of swinging the camera. Any issues seen with this before? Is there a better way than making a 'Right Click' Command and assigning it to all 4 directions on the stick? I wonder if the constant right clicks going from up to right to down etc. are confusing it vs if it sent one right click and then moved as needed until the analog stick is released.

Ok, I answered my own question. Since I can't remove the thread I will leave the answer here for anyone that has a similar issue. The better way to do camera mode is to set right click to occur in the advanced joystiq command menu only when the joystiq is pressed more than 5%. Leave the individual left right up down commands blank. This smooths out the camera, presumably because PGP is sending way less spammy right clicks to the game.

What I've done instead is closed this post. Your idea I believe is really important and I'll leave it for other users to read.
