macro

The hotkey is triggered. You can check that with opening the chat line and then pressing the hotkey. What doesn't work is the Send-stuff outside of the text line.

Try this, when y is your team chat key. Hotkey is ctrl+y. It circumvents the problem with send with using the chat key and not blocking it's ingame function {~}.

Code: [Select]

$~^y::
{
sleep, 10
Send FLAG
sleep, 10
Send {Return down} 
sleep, 100
Send {Return up}
}

From an example:

$F1::  ; Make the F1 key into a hotkey (the $ symbol facilitates the "P" mode of GetKeyState below).
 if not GetKeyState("F1", "P")  ; If this statement is true, the user has physically released the F1 key.

so it should go something like:

$F1::
if GetKeyState("F1", "P") {
{ENTER}::Send yFLAGy
}


I didn't test this

[no_rules_just_play]

Code: [Select]

$~^y::
{
sleep, 10
Send FLAG{Enter}
}
this also didnt work in-game. it opened the teamchat window (i guess because you press Y during the the process)

$F1::
if GetKeyState("F1", "P") {
{ENTER}::Send yFLAGy
}

this gave an error saying:

error at line 7

line text:ENTER}::Send yFLAGy
error: invalid hotkey

the program will exit

it also is (i think) the wrong button combination. the example in the OP said yFLAGy, but it is yFLAG{ENTER}

[Paul]

Try this(ctrl+y):

Code: [Select]


[code]
$~^y::
{
sleep, 10
Send FLAG
sleep, 10
Send {Return down} 
sleep, 50
Send {Return up}
}

and this(ctrl+c is hotkey):

Code: [Select]

$^c::
{
Send {y down} 
sleep, 50
Send {y up} 
sleep, 10
Send FLAG2
sleep, 10
Send {Return down} 
sleep, 50
Send {Return up} 
}

Warband wants a downtime for its hotkeys. So one has to work with {key down}, wait, {key up} as it seems.

So as we see it's clearly forbidden

I use a macro software (to type "sorry" quickly) that was shipped with my mouse and by trial and error I found that you want a 20ms delay between key updates for warband, at least with that program.

I have a second button, probably gonna set it to a quick FLAG scream in teamchat. Thanks for the idea

My macros turn my TAG on and off.

Oh wait..

[Nazurdin]

This one works.

Code: [Select]

$F11::
Send {Y down}
Sleep, 10
send {Y up}
Sleep, 10
Send {F down}
Sleep, 10
Send {F up}
Sleep, 10
Send {L down}
Sleep, 10
Send {L up}
Sleep, 10
Send {A down}
Sleep, 10
Send {A up}
Sleep, 10
Send {G down}
Sleep, 10
Send {G up}
Sleep, 10
Send {Enter down}
Sleep, 10
Send {Enter up}
Sleep, 10

Not very elegant though.

Using a macro, no matter if it writes "sorry" or makes some feints is equally wrong imo.
If I had macros for "sorry" and "QQF" (whistle for horse) I would die less.

The result is the same as with auto blocking: You die less.

So how is using macros for "sorry" and "QQF" not cheating?

This should be discussed in the subforum "Cheating".

I say this as someone who is interested in some of the kinds of macros discussed above, but has given up due to my inability to write scripts for shit:

Doing things like making a hotkey so that every time you jump you QQV? That just enriches and expands the game, man. Does it make you die less? No, it makes you win more... even if you die just as much. Know what I mean? At least, that's how I see it, and how I would use these powers.

I hope you're trying to troll...

Sleep, 10
Send {G up}
Sleep, 10
Send {Enter down}
Sleep, 10
Send {Enter up}
Sleep, 10

did you test it? in that case, i think there is a problem on my part. it doesnt work for me :/
maybe i didnt do something necessary

[Nazurdin]

Yes I tested it and it works. As bonus i made a fapping sheathing macro that takes 3 minutes to finish.

Tweaking and manipulating ingame related stuff in your favor is cheating. More or less.
Do you think otherwise or are you just trolling?

hey guys,

Im trying to set a macro that makes me be able to send chat messages like 'FLAG' very fast.

First of all, is it allowed (it would seem weird if it wasnt)
second: i downloaded autohotkey, is that a good idea?
third: can somebody help me finding a working script.

I tried this:

(click to show/hide)

{ENTER}::Send yFLAGy

and also this:

(click to show/hide)

{F11}::Send yFLAGy

when i tried it on notepad, i actually typed 'yFLAGy'. but in-game, nothing happened. I went to yahoo and someone suggested to use this:

(click to show/hide)

{F11}::
Send {Y down}
Sleep, 10
send {Y up}
Sleep, 10
Send {F down}
Sleep, 10
Send {F up}
Sleep, 10
Send {L down}
Sleep, 10
Send {L up}
Sleep, 10
Send {A down}
Sleep, 10
Send {A up}
Sleep, 10
Send {G down}
Sleep, 10
Send {G up}
Sleep, 10
Send {Enter down}
Sleep, 10
Send {Enter up}
Sleep, 10

but when i tried to launch the script, it said:

(click to show/hide)

"note: the hotkey {f11}:: will not be active because it does not exist in the current keyboard layout"

same for {ENTER} btw

edit: changing {f11} with f11 makes the script run and it works in notepad, but not in-game.
edit2: also tried to set the '10' to '100', but still didnt work

Just type "my old friend", it's a lot faster to write it and feels natural. After some time teammates will understand it.
