AHK scripts - Phoenix Freeshard

Hello all, I’m having trouble getting my AHK script to work in game. Does anyone have a working script I can reverse engineer? Thanks in advance.

Just making sure, you're aware that it cannot be looped, correct?

Yeah, just want it for face+cast, weapon switching, and backup styles.

Id give you mine but. I just turned off pc. If you google daoc autokey on YouTube you will find a nice video guide from obelix. In the desvription there is his sample.

Faxt tip: bind your double binds on the F1, F2, F3 etc, so when you type you dont have to toggle it off to write as a weirdo. If you need more info write me.

Did he ask if looping is ok or did he ask for a loop macro?

You understand I prefaced my question by stating "just making sure..." correct? In that I was making sure that he wasn't attempting and/or unaware of the regulations on running loop macro's (obviously people are still doing it and getting banned).

its classic, everyone has like 4 buttons to use you guys really need ahk still ?

Rules are set out pretty clear i think, which "program" are you referring to?

5. Macroing

It is allowed to bind multiple actions to a key, however, delays, repeats, and conditions are strictly forbidden as well as any other means that allow unattended game-play

AHK is free dude... if u paid for AHK then u got conned.

If u paid for an AHK script, then if its legal or not entirely depends on whats in the script. Send me a copy and ill let u know.
Or otherwise read it and look for any timers, delays, game condition inputs, etc. If you see any of these then its not 'legal' here.

I have doubts about an AutoHotkey script being legal. Let's say I have a script that does the following when I press a key:
1. Target healer in my group
2. Cast demezz

This will be legal, right? It's just two actions bound to a single key.

Now what about the following script:
1. Target healer in my group
2. Wait 500 ms
3. Cast demezz

Will this be forbidden?

yes

Correct that would be forbidden since it has a delay in there.

'Target healer' i assume you mean 'target party member 8' and you manually make sure your healer is party member 8?
(Or something similar to this)

Any automated way to detect which party slot the healer is at would also be not allowed.

Exactly, I was thinking of having a macro in a quickbar slot with /target Thehealer and in another slot the cure mezz. Then have a script that presses both actions and bind that to a key

Thanks for the clarification

*Shrug* not hard at all... but its not cheating, that’s exactly what is being discussed here.

How hard is it to fit everything you want to do on one quick bar? Can be quite difficult depending on the class. It’s about finessing the flow.
Often times you can spend time & effort implementing something you think will help and quickly realise it wont when you put it in action.

To be fair, i think the only real beneficial use for macros here are for certain classes such as minstrel which can be a PITA the bind everything to key which are close to hand.

Don’t like it? Lobby for the devs to change the rules.
