Auto-Clicker

[EnkerZan]

I heard about this project from my buddy of mine, this is phenomenal thanks for making it. One thing I would like to see added as an option is a in-built auto-clicker. There used to be clicker tools that worked for the game, but they are incompatible for DevX. Having one implemented would be a godsend.

It's definitely planned, the problem is implementing it in a way that doesn't conflict with everything else :D

There are plenty of generic auto-clickers that you can use, the plan is to implement sustained attack instead.

[EnkerZan]

I've tried many and they either don't work properly or not at all. Still, something is better than nothing.

I think naming it "auto-clicker" is a huge mistake. Implementing the "continuous attacking" as some sort of constant clicking simulation is a terrible way to go about it.

[EnkerZan]

As long as it makes my attacks continuous at the best possible speed while holding down the button, I'm good.

#2335 feel free to give this a try, it handles walking / interacting with objects / spellcasting / attacking with a single click

(note this is the D2 style mouse hold from #2349 and not the auto clicker from #2335)

I tried out what was in that link, works great! Only one problem so far, it broke Leoric's Tomb. As soon as I killed one of his spawned skeletons they all froze in place with a trizzed out animation. What's funny is if you kill them and walk out of the room and back in, they are alive again but frozen and you can still kill them and get EXP and drops. lol

You don't happen to have a save where it happens? Either way, I'm doubtful this is related to the "hold click to attack". It's very unlikely to affect enemy behaviour.

I did a test and I was able to reproduce it. It looks like it is caused by my PR. It has a pretty weird effect as the player can highlight multiple enemies as if they're one, and those enemies all become stuck.

Edit: Wasn't related to my PR after all, and I've made fix for the bug: #2374
