Target self, needs key that works

from Demigod Forums

So I'm playing demigod, we're playing exile, and we're approaching their fortress. I'm on the corner of the turn into their base, and a desync message comes up just as I'm casting a spell. The desync message had been popping up for a couple of minutes, but this time, because I'm casting something, I lose my cursor. Not usually a big problem, the link in the desync window usually highlights itself and I can hit it and it goes away. Not this time, I really get lost, I'm not sure where the cursor is and I'm just standing there, attacking creeps and whatever happens by. I can still get back in the flower and cast ground spikes using the number keys. I have an all father's ring, so I'm not getting killed. It was actually pretty humorous...except at one point I wanted to cast shield...because the key ostensibly bound for targetting oneself (h) doesn't work. I hit 3 then h to target myself, and it doesn't do squat. So I'm stuck there, occaisionally casting ground spikes, and getting back in the flower to heal. so two things, one more important in my mind than the other. fix the desync messages so that you still have a cursor if you're in the process of casting something that takes away your cursor (spike wave was what I think I was casting, you get a little ring in place of the cursor) and more importantly, make a target self key. I almost died. (Yeah, we won, bit of a landslide)

If you see desync just quit the game. There is absolutely no point in playing a desynced game because what's on screen may not be what's really happening. And the game is void.

It needs to be fixed regardless.

I do agree having a hotkey to target self is beneficial.

you're being a bit misleading, at least to me

h works in that if you selected minons and you need to give commands to demigod you hit h to select him. it doesnt work that if you hit shield then h it does it to you

 

are you asking for a new key so if you hit shield then this key it shields the caster without dealing with mouse?

I guess so, a hotkey for selecting the demigod seems pretty important.

k, i guess having one to select your demigod to command and one to then use to do elf casts is key

 

i dont know why h can't do both, definitely need one for selfcast though

if they made them the same that would be fine, but as it stands, self casting using "h" doesn't work.

I don't think 'landslide' quite covers that ---- pummeling ---- your team handed us, Smurf. Decimation might be more applicable.

Heck, the vamp on your team had 25 kills.... and something like a million gold or something insane by the end of the game.

Heh.

It was a decent match til the slippery slope element of Demigod kicked in.

But kudos to you lads, it was a 3 ppl and 1 AI vs 4 players and you lads still trounced us :-)

Yeah, it went much better than initially anticipated...starting a man down I thought we'd be in trouble.
