Automisation of player actions: Is automated tap strafing allowed?

I have two questions regarding tap strafing and automisation of player actions in Apex Legends.

Part One: Tap strafing with Steam

I have recently seen a video about tap strafing on controller, where a person said, it is allowed to have tap strafing on controller by using some features of steam. He used a method where the gamepad input for left stick forward was replaced by steam with a W keyboard input.

My first question is: Is it allowed to use this feature of steam to tap strafe on controller?

Part Two: Tap strafing with Scripts

I created a simple Python-script, that sends the W input about five times a second when A or D are pressed while W is not:

[REMOVED]

The pseudo-code for this would be something like this:

Check 10 times a second if W is not pressed and A or D are pressed.
If the condition is true, press and release W and wait an additional 0.1 seconds.

So my second question is: Are scripts like this one (or versions that would listen for gamepad inputs) allowed to be used in-game?

  • @MatoruNSG The scripts are definitely not allowed. Any key press that produces more than one action is against the ToS. The same for anything automated.

    Not just that, but I would actually remove your script examples from your post. Otherwise you may receive a forum warning for sharing cheats.

  • @MatoruNSG As others have said scripts are not allowed. Tap strafing is being removed from the game anyway.
