View Full Version : Action Interact Bug?

For mouse buttons, there are various interaction styles available.

For "Action Interact", single-clicking on something either interacts with it (if unattackable) or selects it (if attackable). However, when I single-click on an attackable, all that happens is a momentary highlight. The selection does not stick. Anyone else have this problem? Is it a bug?

Could some kind soul do a quick experiment and see if you get the same behaviour, please? Much appreciated!

Anyone to assist or advise please?
Just a quick confirmation whether this works as intended, so that I can file a bug report.

This one is still bugging me. So could some kind soul check this for me please? I just want to ascertain whether the current behaviour is correct. Thanks!!

This is intentional, as one of the most common ways for a wizard or caster to select a target of a spell is to click on it, and the caster does not want to attack it with just a single click.

Thanks, Trillea.

That's the point. I wanted to use the one-click-just-to-select for my sorceror. However, when I do a single click, the selection does *not* stay / stick. It immediately goes off again, the moment the mouse button is released.

Does this happen for you? Could you help to check please? Thanks so much.

unfortunately I am at work and can't check anything... sorry

As a stopgap measure however I suggest using the Tab button to cycle thru enemies for casting.

I use mouselook mode and had the same problem with right button, targetting just wouldnt stick. This "problem" came within update 2 weeks ago.

I fixed it by binding a regular DDO Classic Interact to a mouse2.

Thanks, Shagath, for the validation. I've sent in a bug report. Really hope the devs fix it soon. It is a major major bug that affects the entire gaming experience.
