Implementing "Walk To" Hotkey

[tuliomir]

I'm borrowing an idea from the mod "Fast Keys" here.

 

I want to bind a key, say, F1 to the "Walk To" action. Waaay better than trying to right-click and hope it works while being chased by a horde and trying to dodge the translucent bushes at the same time 😱 </panic>

 

Looking at the source code available I can imagine something along the lines of...

local KEY_WALK = {
	name = "Walk To",
	key = Keyboard.KEY_F1,
}

if ModOptions and ModOptions.AddKeyBinding then
	ModOptions:AddKeyBinding("[Player Control]",KEY_WALK)
end

local function KeyUp(keynum)
	local specificPlayer = getSpecificPlayer(0)
	if specificPlayer ~= nil then
		if keynum == KEY_WALK.key then -- F1
			ISWorldObjectContextMenu.WHAT_SHOULD_I_PUT_HERE?(0)
		end
	end
end
Events.OnKeyPressed.Add(KeyUp);

Can someone shine a light here? I'm at a loss of where to search for this "WHAT_SHOULD_I_PUT_HERE" function that calls the "Walk To" action.

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi tuliomir,

I looked at the walkToAction in there and found it was using the action of WalkToTimedAction.lua

That one requires a square as target.

I found the Mouse:getX and getY functions from https://projectzomboid.com/modding/

Then at the same place I found IsoUtils.XToIso that I was not able to use properly.

With luck they were used ~properly by DebugContextMenu.lua. Just the zoom management is wrong (I'd guess obsolete) and I was lucky to find it fast enough.

That was it for the target square.

I added a way to bypass the end of the current move action when we start the next and the result is here:

Is it possible to make a mod, that if u are holding W your character always walks forward to your mouses pointer and stops moving when u let go. Then when holding S down u walk backwards but still follows your mouse pointer and faces your mouse pointer.
