[AutoHotKey] WASD Movement

[gankbait]

I didn't see this topic anywhere on Ownedcore, so I thought I'd share it.

Anyways, you can use your WASD keys to move in D3, which IMO makes the game much easier to get around, fight, and is generally more fun to play.

Here's how:

1. Download and Install AutoHotKey (it's free) http://www.autohotkey.com/download/A...keyInstall.exe
2. Download the WASD script from the "diablo-iii-wasd" project hosted on google HERE
- Save it somewhere easily accessible, ie. right next to your D3 shortcut
3. Go into your key bindings in D3, bind anything that is already bound to WASD keys to different keys (by default I think only two of those keys are bound already)
4. Bind "Move" to F12
5. Run (simply double click the file) the AHK script you downloaded, you won't immediately see anything appear on screen, but a green icon in your system tray (bottom right)

You will need to run the script every time you start D3, just make sure D3 is running before you run the script.
Also, make sure you're not running two instances of the script, or it will bug out.

And there you have, WASD movement.

Note* This script tends to bug out when fighting Belial, so it's back to mouse movement for that encounter.

nice! friend of mine refuses to play d3 due to click to move. myself would prefer an option to use wasd (i actually use AZSD a - Up, z - down, s - left, d - right)

My only worry is how Draconian blizzard can be about 3rd party software interacting with their games. Has blizzard said anything against using autohotkey with d3 yet?

They have specifically commented on the idea of third party tools doing WASD movement. Search google on it. They DONT like the idea. Theres also a whole group centered around WASD movement; with a full on program already written. Check google out for it.

Just started using this yesterday, and wow this works wonders for ranged classes, and it will surely give quite the edge in PvP.
