Macros for games start a sequence of commands by pressing a single key and simplify the passage, allowing you to save nerves and keyboards. Used by newcomers and avid gamers with a Bloody keyboard and mouse, who respond more quickly to a click than Genius mice. A split second decides: the first clicker will not become a winner.
Benefits
At the starting levels, macros for games do not bring results, but when the process becomes more complicated and you have to sort through the keys to win combinations in order to execute combinations, they become irreplaceable.
Battles with a large number of opponents are a vivid example of the use of "templates". When working with the keyboard comes down to a piano concerto, itās time to think about optimizing the load on the hand and the keys.
There are special programs for creating macros for keyboard or mouse games. After pressing the button, the hero makes a number of combinations, puts buffs and consumes potions.
In third-person shooters (Warface), a macro allows you to shoot with a single click of a mouse button. Players who prefer Sig Sauer or HCAR, register three shots by clicking LMB and win in PvP.
Shift + W + F actions are assigned to the key, and in battle the character attacks in a tackle while the opponent reaches with his finger towards F or Shift. The speed of reaction determines the winner.
The button on the mouse is assigned a jump function with a 180 Ā° rotation to attack from around the corner.
The transition to shooting lying at close encounters with the enemy is āmacroscopicā - to evade the shot and counterattack.
Actions that require pressing more than one key are attached to one click to save time.
Botmek
Advanced macro program for keyboard and mouse games of any complexity. It interacts with many devices, replaces the functionality of an expensive keyboard.
Creates macros for a difficult battle using combos and boring "one-button" farm. The program has built-in templates for several games. Works in minimized mode, allowing the owner to go away on business.
It is enough to indicate a key on a virtual mouse or keyboard and bind a key combination to create a macro.
Xstarter
The utility is freely available, distributed free of charge and Russified. The user-friendly interface creates a macro for the game without learning the instructions. It features undo functions during an accidental start.
How to create a macro for the game:
- run the utility and right-click on a blank window;
- select "New task" in the menu that opens;
- come up with the name of the template;
- to register in the āCombinationā tab the keys involved when pressing one button.
After creating the macro, it remains to test by calculating the delay time between the click and execution.
Oscar Editor
The utility scares you with the number of tabs, but not all will be required to work. When writing macros, the rollback time of the heroes' abilities should be taken into account. With the right template, the skill is activated automatically.
In the Oscars, macros are set for games with X7. The loop of the repetition of the recovering skills is carried out in the tab "Go to the line."
Block 1:
- LOOP - adjusts the repetition of line execution a specified number of times and the translation to the desired point in the loop.
- KEY - activates the command by pressing / depressing the left, right or central mouse button.
- IF is a variable that sets the conditions for mouse deflection: the scatter of weapons in Counter Strike is unpredictable, and in Warface it has clear logic. On WF, itās easy to create a macro to increase the accuracy of shooting: in the EQU tab, values āāare assigned to variables from IF.
Block 2: options for pressing and releasing a button, adjusting time units.
Block 3: a section for mouse settings that sets a mark on the screen in absolute and relative coordinates manually or automatically. A macro written on a screen with one resolution does not work on a monitor with another.
The remaining blocks edit the macro, create a new one and customize the keyboard.
MacroGamer
Program for creating macros for games in the MMO RPG genre: select the Create New item, check the Wait for color box, designate the game and set keyboard shortcuts. In the Binded to tab, the key that starts the macro is selected.
Types of Macros for Games
Conditionally divided into two categories:
- Simplifying the gameplay.
- Creating an advantage over other gamers.
The first includes farm templates that work in minimized screen mode. Replace the repetition of the same actions to achieve a quantitative result. Useful in quests requiring to accumulate the amount of resources for receiving rewards.
The second - macros for the game, leveling the imperfections of the weapon: marking a point on the Warface screen and adjusting the deviation of the mouse create an āauto-guidingā for shooting the enemy in the head.
Lack of recoil is another advantage, controlled by cursor options.
Creation methods
Macros for games are not always manually created by specifying buttons on the virtual keyboard. Templates are distributed free of charge, then ready-made ones are downloaded and edited if necessary.
Gamers with the simplest programming skills write commands manually and edit lines using the interface.
The A4Tech Bloody V7 mouse software provides six sniper modes, 16-Grade calibration technology, and three shooting modes. When you purchase Ultra Core3, you can create and share macros.
Macro Legends and Myths
Novice gamers confuse macros for games with cheats and attribute non-existent functions: increase damage, rate of fire of weapons and firing range; jumping to inaccessible heights; lack of incoming damage to the enemy.
Statements are groundless - macros do not affect game mechanics and do not āinterfereā with product code and server files.
The lack of damage is due to the bad luck of the gamer who missed in PvP. The macro will not allow you to jump above the mark - signs of a cheat. This applies to range, rate of fire, and damage.
Inexperienced players tend to blame opponents for using illegal programs that bring the owner closer to victory by leaps and bounds. Complaints about technical support and threats of blocking at the end of the round, spiced up by mutual insults of the parties, are pouring on āsuspectsā.
Ban or not?
According to surveys, 30% of gamers are positive about macros. The rest prefer fair play on their own. The number of the former is growing rapidly due to the inability to compete correctly.
Game developers rarely have the ability to track the use of third-party software, and in case of contacting the support service they require evidence.
Buying a programmable mouse is easier than proving something to every support person for every intruder. Developers pay attention to numbers, not mechanics, because the fight with software supporters is unsuccessful.
The rules of online projects say that the use of cheats is punishable by blocking. Macros for games indirectly affect the passage, because the developers consider complaints only with mass calls to one player.
The macro does not make changes to the mechanics, but indirectly gives an advantage, therefore the question is debatable: in order to avoid blocking, you should not get carried away with templates and program the mouse and keyboard for completely dishonest game. Constant headshots in Warface will lead to suspicions of fraud and complaints about the player.
Verdict
To become a happy owner of macros, you need to leave the familiar Genius mice for 200 r. and switch to gaming devices at high prices (from 1000 p. and above).
Presumably, developers of online games pay attention to the outflow of players due to the use of third-party software that indirectly affects the gameplay, but the use of macros is either welcomed or not stopped due to the low priority of the task.
If you want to enjoy the game and not strain, itās better not to participate in events where macro lovers will definitely go: for the sake of victory you will have to sweat, and opponents will benefit by using third-party software. Or join the ranks of owners of programmable mice and acquire macros for the game to shock the performance of players and amuse pride.
