Builder Block Key-Binding

This is a suggestion to make builder a touch more fluid a class to play.

Having the ability to bind the craftable blocks from the Builder's "F" menu to keys on the Keyboard would make the builder far more streamlined.

Pros:

Builder get's a buff.
Builder is a more powerful class.
No need for the builder to open his inventory at all. [except to drop stuff]

Cons:

Builder becomes more powerful, potentially thwarting a delicate balance of classes.
People will rage when a builder instantly places a stone block followed by a door.

Discuss.

 

I support this idea fully, this needs to be a thing. I normally cant live without hotkeys.

 

i mean u can also get mouse macro pages, so u can switch them and inject them into ur mouse or maybe someone could make lke a ''cheat'' .dll that you inject into your game when u need to, or just have a mouse with alot of buttons lol

 

I believe that a builder class would be a good edition to the the game... wait what?
nvm builder classes would never work

some people have mouses with extra buttons and you can just hotkey the important ones like stone, wood, doors but leave things like trapdoors unhotkeyed.

 

+1.
Just set everything to be default not binded but bindable and you can bind whatever you want.
But Iwould keep it the same just to prevent instant blocking.

 

Well, you don't really need instant access to ALL of them, really only 4 or 5. [Stone block, Wood Door, Stone Door and Ladder, plus Wood Block.]

And I was thinking something along the lines of "R-T-Y" and "G-H-B" plus Shift+"R-T-Y-G-H-B" that would cover all of them plus be relatively easy to reach

No matter what, hotkeys are faster. You could essentially build a defense in 10 seconds that would normally take you 20. It would actually be really powerful.

Thank you all for listening to my idea anyway. :D

 

I always thought about that mechanic. It would be very handful binding at least doors or stoneblocks.

If that statement is true, then the are kinda cheating. Another reason to add this.

Don't change it, it's part of gameplay and it's not that hard to learn. The better builder you are the faster you swap blocks, also this menu is least broken thing in builder gameplay.

 

@Geti sorry to tag you, but what are the odds of something like this even being implementable?

Genuinely curious if KAG's engine could allow it.

 

why not just have an inventory bar like in other games? you can use the scroll wheel to switch blocks

 

Half encouraging and half disappointing as always, Geti, hehe.
Let's just wait for that moment to happen, then.

 

Well there is always the mouse button 3. (That's pressing the scroll wheel for the uniformed.)
