- ATFGunr3 years agoLegend@sk1lldHow would a macro get a vehicle? It used to be space bar would open the vehicle selection screen on game start up, they took that out. A macro can’t move the mouse to select the gear to open the vehicle screen then know which vehicle you want. It’s all things you have to consciously click on. Once a map is started, I know players will sit there and wait, spamming the button like crazy until it respawns. I don’t know how that’s fun but I guess it’s an investment in getting the vehicle. I can’t wrap my head around how a macro could achieve that.

@ATFGunr I've no idea how they do it. I've sometimes waited for a vehicle, or just see it available and click it, clearly, but it overrides me and lets someone else have it. If one of the players I mentioned are on the team, they instantly get that vehicle every time it becomes available. This is in spite of a bug that stops the cooldown clock from counting down if you're watching it, and the vehicle doesn't become available until nearly ten seconds after. Yet they will spawn it 5 seconds before.

A macro can’t move the mouse to select the gear to open the vehicle screenActually, it can - Razer Synapse allows you to write macros that move the mouse. It can also affords macros that define sequences of key presses and automate a virtual d-pad and joystick.
When the game client releases the mouse (so you can navigate menus rather than change orientation in the game world), I think (I'm not sure because I've never tried it, so haven't paid that much attention to this) it releases the mouse dead centre. All you'd need then is some elementary maths to calculate the target XY coordinates for the pointer to move to.
It wouldn't be that difficult, and might require a bit of time and effort, but ot would be by no means impossible.

Not much you can do. This sort of Macro is frowned upon, but there is nothing to stop them from doing it.

They could randomize the vehicle group horizontal positions.

Actually, there is a cooldown usually, but the cooldown is global. Apply the Cooldown differently.
Cooldown begins after the vehicle spawn cooldown globally. Once the vehicle spawn cooldown completes, then the pilot of the destroyed vehicle has an additional 10 seconds.
This way, it is only 10 seconds more for the last pilot and waiting pilots have a 10 second window to grab a vehicle
