AutoAttack

Press a key to start continuous attacking — the mod keeps the attack button held for you — and press it again to stop. No more holding the attack button through long fights.

Client-side only: neither the server nor other players need the mod.

Features

• Toggle on/off with a keyboard shortcut (default Mouse1 + LeftAlt) or a gamepad combo (default JoyLBumper, JoyRBumper = L1 + R1).
• Pause: holding a configured button (block, jump, secondary attack, movement by default) temporarily pauses the toggle; it resumes automatically when you release it.
• Cancel: pressing a configured button stops the toggle completely.
• Weapon change protection: automatically cancels when the equipped weapon changes (can be disabled).
• Bows: keeps drawing and releases the shot automatically once fully drawn.
• Crossbows: waits for the reload instead of holding through it.
• On-screen messages for on/off/cancelled, with configurable texts (empty text = hidden) and position.
• Per-button configuration: every input button the game registers gets its own on/off entry, split into keyboard and gamepad sections and generated from the game's own input registry at startup.
• Master switch ([General] Enabled) to turn the mod fully off and get vanilla behavior.

Installation

Using a mod manager (recommended)

Install via NexusMods r2modman, Gale or the Thunderstore Mod Manager. BepInExPack is installed automatically as a dependency.

Manual

1. Install BepInExPack for Valheim.
2. Drop AutoAttack.dll into <Valheim>/BepInEx/plugins/.

Configuration

Config file: BepInEx/config/orax.AutoAttack.cfg — every entry is documented inline.

• [General] > Master switch, cancel-on-weapon-change
• [Keyboard] > Toggle shortcut (Unity KeyCode names, e.g. Mouse1 + LeftAlt)
• [Gamepad] > Toggle combo (ZInput button names, e.g. JoyLBumper, JoyRBumper)
• [Keyboard cancel buttons] > [Gamepad cancel buttons] > Press to cancel the toggle
• [Keyboard pause buttons] > [Gamepad pause buttons] > Hold to pause the toggle
• [HUD], [Messages] > Message display, position and texts

Notes:

• The gamepad button list is generated at startup from the game's own input registry and reflects the controller layout active at that moment; restart the game after changing the layout to regenerate it.
• Unknown button names simply never trigger, and a warning is logged once.
