Skills use LMB (v.3)

Description
Hello!

I got a little frustrated with some skills that seem to be made for the LMB but were not enabled. So......
I've enabled all the skills for the 4 default classes to use the LMB.

Example, poor Frost Embermages....


My mod is included in the following Author's Work(s):
Bandit's Combine them All - (you can disable my mod if you are using this)
Mamba's Extended Mod Merge - (you can disable my mod if you are using this)
PewOnYou's Awesome Classes - (you can disable my mod if you are using this)

Basic Notes:
Now, all this does is make you able to select them for your Left Mouse Button / Auto Attack. As in, you can click to move, if you have a target or hold shift you can click to cast, and if you are out of mana or on cooldown you will auto attack.

It does not alter the skills to make them LMB friendly. So, while you have the choice to select it on the LMB, it may not work exactly as you expect. Most skills I tested worked wonderfully. As always, just select / test a skill (and try SHIFT) and if it does not do what you like, you are no worse off ;).

Compatability:
I'm not sure!
- I loaded this below Combine Them All, Torchlight 2 Essentials and Synergies; I did not see any issues.

How much testing did I do?
- Very Little, but my Embermage feels much better now.
- Please post any bugs or issues you find!

Will you take requests?
- Yes, But.....
- I don't have much time, but every now and then I have lots of it.
- It is such an easy flag to change that you should contact the author of your favorite class to get them to add it.
- I've not given much thoughts to scrolls, but if you have a specific one you want I may be able to look into that.
- I can see some skills just needing a tweak here and there to make them LMB friendly (such as changing a short cooldown to a cast speed), but I don't plan on adventuring here as balance issues pop up that require dedication to make them work right (such as now instead of a cooldown, cast speed can be affected by buffs...).

Can you use this mod in yours?
YES, please do. I'm a huge fan of the compilation packs and new skills / classes. Feel free to use this mod or the idea of this mod in yours. To enable a skill to be used with the LMB add (<BOOL>CAN_LEFT_MAP:true) to the Skill (at the top where the name and translation stuff is). Note, that bool is surrounded by a greater and less than sign, not random text ;).

Detailed Notes:
- Some skills were flagged to not use it (vs not flagged at all). I tested Spider Bots that were flagged by Runic NOT to use the LMB and it seems to work fine (you throw the bots and on cooldown you shoot your cannon)
- Some skills are flagged NOT to target breakables. In this case you may need to Shift Click to hit a breakable)
- One step further, if you put a spell (Like a shield or buff) that does not do any damage, you may be limited on your ability to break breakables.
- And.... Some skills (especially Cooldowns) may not work how you like at range. If they have a cooldown (or an internal cooldown) then in between casts you will attempt to use your weapon (as expected). Well, if it is a melee weapon you will move towards your target. In cases like this SHIFT clicking will keep you stationary (but you will still swing).
- Teleport or ground placement skills will work fine if you have a target, but if you would like to teleport or place something on the ground you will need to hit SHIFT, otherwise your character will just move to that spot.
- Very short CD spells (including internal) will cause your character to swing in between them. This may or may not be desirable (such as the spell would fire off faster on the RMB as it does not swing inbetween each time). Instead of holding down your attack key you can click it at the correct speed where you will only cast and not swing. With practice you should get close to the same speed as the RMB.

Do you know if this mod exists for Torchlight 1? Wanted to use Devastate on LMB, guess RMB will have to do.

@Steffire3 Yeup; consider this an open resource.

@MaddBomber83 (author): Interesting mod!

Can we have permission to use parts of these modified Vanilla skill stats in "Skills Expansion" while crediting you for these changes?

which ui mod did you use, to show HP/MP?
Spu00Key  [author] 15 Feb, 2017 @ 7:41pm 
Nope, I'm not active in this game; so it is awesome to see this included / imported elsewhere. Feel free to use / intigrate as you see fit.
