Thread: Managing action toolbars and inventory questions
For example:
My action bar has carbine skills on the first set, stuff like firstaid on the second and all stimpacks on the third. Is this the best way to setup my bars?
I don't know how you combat medic/doctors do it. Do you put commands on your toolbars or the medicines? Right now the way I do things is that I craft the stim, drag stim onto toolbar then stuff stim into travel pack. This way I know how many heals I have left and when I need to take a break and make more.
But now I have ranged heals. (very pretty by the way). Poison Disease (for each pool!). I'll get to play with area effect heals, res kits and buffs (for a billion different stats). How do you keep it all straight?
From what I understand, using the heal commands doesn't work because it doesn't find the medicines. Or am I mistaken?
Oh yeah, and how do you fit action stuff on top of all that, hehe.
Hehe, that's not my problem. I like to know at all times how much stim I have left. A little **edit**, I know (especially considering the fact that I don't go on any large raids or anything like that). The other problem I have is that I keep all my medicines in my backpack. It has been my experience so far that /healdamage and /healwound don't automatically pull from the packs. And I don't want to keep everything in my inventory.
What's your workaround this? How do you keep medicines available for every occasion AND space on your toolbar AND get around without forgetting what you have left?

You know you can click and drag on the hot bar and get two rows for every bank? Right?
I also drag my meds to my hotbar, that way I can choose specifically which med I want to use, whether its a ranged stimC, an AOE Stim, a disease, an advancedStimD (from my doctor buddy), etc....
The way I have my bars set up is thus:
on the F1-F4 keys, the first row I have my pistol combat keys, Bodyshot2, Aim, Health Shot, Overcharge. On the second bank I have the Ranged support keys, Warning shot, suppression shot, and two others (cant remember)
on the F5-F8 keys, first row are the Stand, Kneel, Sit, and Burst Run. On the second bank, I have drag incap, First Aid, HealDamage, HealWound
on the F9-F12 keys, first row I put RangeC, AOE B, Follow, stop follow. On the second row I have Range C, Range C, AOE B, Disease.
uhh, I dont drag every stim I have to the tool bar, just a couple at a time.....
Back pack holds 50 items. I keep all my meds in there, and even then, its rarely totally full.
Im not sure I understand your problem...
Using a ranged stimpack at close range is possible by dragging the pack directly to your toolbar. This may be a bug, but to my knowledge there is not an explicit minimum range for ranged stimpacks.
carry crates of meds not singles...
i rarely run out of meds even when i carry both a full set of doct and a full set of CM packs
How much space do crates take up? I'm almost there, I just want to insure I have both steady resources and cashflow before I get the factory setup.
(Yeah, I'm pretty conservative/**edit**).
