Holospray Bind Macro Bannable
I recently made a really bare bones script to instantly use the bottom most quip you have. I made it so pressing mouse5 will use it, while holding mouse4 will repeatedly use it. I've used it mostly t...

@Mach6TicTac Why make a macro in the first place? Macro is cheating, best not to do it. Doesn't matter what you use it for, better safe than sorry.
- @BaldWraithSimp Its because I initially looked for a bind, like binding a key to use a battery or syringe. And its cause it streamlines the process. Its for something purely cosmetic so I assumed they wouldn't care about it (unlike hemlock fullauto or tap fire)
- @Mach6TicTac Maybe they wouldn't care. But there are no clear guidelines on that, so I can't really say.
Stay away from scrips and macros.
EAC is from what I know really strict in automatic inputs even when it's not used for getting an unfair advantage.
When it noticed a pattern it will probably flag you but I'm not a dev so cannot say it for sure.
But what I can say is better safe than sorry 😉
- @BaldWraithSimp exactly, and using a macro for quip ???
doesn't worth the risk - @BaldWraithSimp What is a Macro? Can you explain this all to me please?
It's a piece of code created by someone on a PC that is triggered when a button is pressed.
For example, you fire on PC via the left mouse button. If you use single-shot weapons or weapons that can be switched to single shot the you have to repeatedly click.
You could set up a macro on your keyboard so that - say - when you when hit 'B' the keyboard sends a 'left mouse button pressed' event ten times much faster than you can click the mouse.
If you get downed by a Hemlock in auto-fire mode, then that player is using a macro.
This is just one example.
what @EdwardDLuffy said
Basically automated input. You press the key one time and your Hemlock will turn full-auto lol. It's easily noticeable with it's distinct firing pattern sound.
I have threatened my teammates in the past for using macros, saying 'Better not use it this game or I will record and send it to a dev' 😃
As suggested above, avoid using it.
Doesn't matter the purpose, you're still breaching ToS by using a macro and they'll get you on that technicality lol. x.x
