Mouse gesture binds

[mNag]

Might require some ingenious coding :p I have no idea how you'd do it for WoW as i've ever only coded my own console programs. But if someone could figure out a way you could bind mouse gestures to attacks, spells, potions, whatever you want, that would be so wicked.

Discuss :p

(probably not the best forum to make my first post, but meh)

you could to it with an onupdate mouse location coordinate catcher triggered by a binding and a timer, but why... just get a mouse with more buttons. I have a gesture prog on my compy and i never use it...

I think he meant more like drawing a circle around a mob's head would cause you to attack that target. in theory it sounds cool, but i don't think that WoW would support it well enough to make something useful. I know some people who use gestures and swear by them. I'm partial to more buttons, myself.

i think its a cool idea.. i dont think u can do the circle around the mob thing.. but it would be cool if u could do certain spells by right-dragging up and down etc

It is a good idea. Gestures are the latest fad now adays.

Check out this gesture plugin for firefox! It rocks.

Unfortunately, unless the engine has it built in, it's unlikely you will see this type of thing. And even if you did, it's tough to get right. Black and White used gestures to cast spells, but IMO the gesture engine wasn't very good, so it came off as bad.
