Hitting a number key automatically uses the item after selecting it, regardless of which item is currently selected. Repeatable after spawning virtually any item, and after several reboots.

edit: scroll wheel functions properly though.

Could just be a new change to items, to pop em out faster/easier for people that are used to hotkeys immediately using that item.

Yeah I was going to say that the OP is describing a feature rather than a bug but I haven't finished downloading the client to get a clearer picture.

One complaint I had in alpha was that I couldn't use the items by pressing the number keys so what you described seems like a nice feature to someone like me.

Is this a bug? Cause I actually find this feature rather convenient.

I'm used to selecting items and then using them >.> I suppose it could be a feature. Hence the scroll wheel.

Needs to be toggleable in options, imo.

It's actually not a bug, but a design choice. The way the items are displayed will likely be changed so that you can see all of them at once. Or the number keys might just go back to selecting items. Who knows. Let us know what you'd like to see!

I think this works well if you still have the option you see before selecting by scrolling the mouse wheel? And if you want it right now, use the number key? It could still maybe do with a feature option, Half Life had this so you could either scroll through multiple weapons assigned to that number key and then select one or just have the first weapon come straight out with one press and subsequent presses would go to the next weapon in line.

I'm not exactly sure what this feature in Hawken is yet though as only just downloaded the game for closed beta this weekend ( :D)...so my opinion on the matter may change post weekend :P

Cheers.

i always wondered why its not like that by default.
selecting them prior to using took too much time and was rather annoying in the mid of the batlle

Just messing around in a random map the item on-use by hitting the numbers keys felt off. Should def be a toggle to just selecting the item as scroll wheel is not always accurate. Hopefully it is changed.

I'd be down for seeing all 3 items in a row (1/2/3 hotkey)
Works well with most games :)

As side note, auto-selecting the next available item (if any..) when you're out of one it's been a good idea.

fix this, I can't choose items with mousewheel because the mousewheel is bugged in games,(Microsoft mouse with smooth scroll)
I shouldnt have botherd buying items because I'm always selecting the wrong items or using ECM on myself when ever I try to use the Numbers^^ I'm almost at the verge on uninstalling the game for a while :o
