Logitech Gaming Software macro for auto walk/run/fly?
Anyone know if there's a way to make a macro to hold down w and another one to hold w and shift so I can auto walk and fly in single player? Because I find myself spending so much time travelling that I'm restricted in base locations when I play new games, and it gets tediuous flying and running around the maps.
EDIT: I have the Logitech G105 keyboard, so I have the 6 additional buttons to use for it.

Auto Macro Recorder, i use it for Wurm. But if the game detects it and ban you, it's on you.

This is what I use for autorun:

function OnEvent(event, arg)
OutputLogMessage("event = %s, arg = %s\n", event, arg)
end
autorunGKey = 1
toggleRun = true

function OnEvent(event,arg,family)
if event == "G_PRESSED" and arg == autorunGKey then
toggleRun = not toggleRun
if toggleRun then
PressKey("lshift")
PressKey("w")
else
ReleaseKey("w")
ReleaseKey("lshift")
end
end
end

Not sure where I'd put in that script. Haven't done enough of it to use it for my macros, I've just used what the LGS provides

Macros are allowed and there is no detection even if they were not allowed.

G Keys at bottom. Right click the Ark game you set up at the top of LGS. Choose scripting. Paste

If you want a different G key simply change the 1 to the key you want to use.

If you're using Logitech, just set 1 of the G buttons to W keystroke with repeat options to toggle.
Edit the delay to what works best for you.

Ah, I see it. Is there a way to choose for that to only be active on a single profile?
Evolvei Oct 24, 2018 @ 7:01am 
It will only be active on the profile you right clicked to get to scripting at the top of LGS.
The Dark Fae Oct 24, 2018 @ 7:04am 
I meant the M1, M2 and M3 profiles. I have the G keys set to a few different things for other tasks, and hoped it would just be on M3 for example

All good if not, this has already helped heaps, just want to check this last thing before moving around all my whistles and stuff XD

I think it is persistent through the M keys, not positive.

Here is a video. Hope it helps.

just an fyi
for those without the logitech macro keys, you can do the same thing with autohotkey
download autohotkey from here and use the following script
https://www.autohotkey.com/

Ark.ahk
#IfWinActive ahk_exe ShooterGame.exe $+w:: Toggle := true Send {w down} while (Toggle) Sleep, 10 Send {w up} return $~w:: Toggle := false return

shift + W starts you walking, tapping W stops you - you can even use the shift key for run while its active (works for both walking/running and ships)
this only emulates key presses which is safe to use in sp and mp - it is not an exploit or hack

There is always the fork method. Fork to wedge down the keys on keyboard.

This is the Correct Answer!!!!

The Fork has never been detected by Anti Cheat Softwares and remains the King of Keybinds.
