Key press instead of key release

Hi,

I was looking in the forum for a post who talk about it but i couldn't find anything recent. In ESO, the spell fires when we release the key and not when we press it. It would be faster and more dynamic if we could fire a spell by pressing the key and not releasing it. So i have several questions :

- Does an addon like this exist ?
- If not, is it possible to create it ? (Does the API allow it)
- If not, why ?

Thanks for reading :smile:

    - No.
    - No.
    - Because functions you need to use are private - it means they can't be called from within addon's code. If you want to argument that there are 3rd party tools which allows using private functions, you are right. However I don't recommend using such tools...

    Ok ! Thanks ! That was precise :smile:

    However I don't understand why the key press isn't the function that the game use...

    Game may use and utilize anything, but that doesn't mean everything game uses is available to be used by add-ons. Add-ons may only use whatever is allowed via UI API. If there is a potential way for add-ons to intefere with the game in unwanted by design way - this will not be available to add-ons.

    I wasn't talking about that. I was saying that they choose to activate ability when we release the key and not when we press it. Choice that i don't fully understand because it reduces the dynamic in the game (even if it's by a little).

    If you press more than one key, the one you realease will activate the skill. I guess that makes sense.
