Script To Dodge Lightning.

[haaa]

Why? Because writing a script is more fun than this tedious challenge. Plus I did it twice on PS2 and PS3, and I'm NOT doing it again.

The script - AutoIt - :

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; Script Start ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

#include <Misc.au3>

Global $on = 0
Global $pix1

While 1

	If _IsPressed("21") Then $on = 1 ; Page Up
	If _IsPressed("22") Then $on = 0 ; Page Down


	If $on = 1 Then

		$pix1 = PixelGetColor(680, 380)

		If $pix1 > 0xCD0000 Then

			Beep(200, 100)
			Opt("SendKeyDownDelay", 50)
			Send("{C}")

		EndIf
	EndIf

	If _IsPressed("24") Then ExitLoop ; Home

WEnd

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; Script End ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Or for the lazy, an already compiled version:

Remove the spaces, dumb steam filter bot is removing it for no reason.

How to use it:

1- Run FFX and go to the Thunder Plains.

2 - Extract and run the exe. The script has no GUI, just some Hotkeys:

Page Up = Enable the script, the script starts disabled.
Page Down = Disable the script, only enable the script in game, diable it otherwise.
Home = Terminates the script.

3- Go to the game, and enable the script by hitting Page Up, USE THE KEYBOARD TO MOVE. Using the pad will NOT work.

4- Run around or find a place where Tidus jump in place infinitely, a beep will sound with every strike to tell you that the script is running and enabled.

5- Done, don't forget to hit HOME to close the script after you are done, and do not Alt-Tab the game without disabling the script.

This comes with no guarantees Blah Blah Blah, you can reach 199 then the thunder will strike you in real life Yada Yada Yada.

This worked for me in every part I tested it in, if it does not work for you in any part of the map you tried, then change the PixelGetColor coordinates to the middle pixel of your screen, or change the color 0xCD0000 if you have different brightness not suited to this value. If all else fails, disable Aero, it should fasten up WinAPI's "GetPixel" which "PixelGetColor" is based on.

I don't know who you are, or where you live, but you just made it into my top 10 people of all time. I pay homage to my FFX Overlord!

(I spent 10 hours trying to do this years ago on the original PS2 version before I finally did it. I swore to myself NEVER AGAIN!)

You sir are a savior.

I always enjoy the 40 minutes of zen patience required to beat the lightning challenge, but kudos to you for sharing this tool with everyone else who isn't a masochist.

Will this work with 4x turbo enabled and non default keybindings? :)

Nice. I will probably end up using it. I've only done it once on the PS2 but honestly, that was enough.

I would imagine replacing the C in the script to whatever you have it bound to would work.

works for 2 jumps and then it just stops.. :/

Glad this saved people some nerve damage :)

Will not work with turbo, and it only sends "C" to jump, so make sure that is what jumps for you, or change the script to your button of choice.

As I said, it depends on the brightness of the game and resolution of your screen. Change the brightness, and make the middle pixel of your screen the detected pixel, if done right it should only beeps when the lightning strike.

I really should have just detected the screen res. and let the script get the pixel, but I forgot about res. differences until I posted the script.

bless you! this is my third time buying this game and I have 0 motivation to do the lightning dodges even thou 4x speed makes it faster

nah, i got a different problem. the script just closed after 2 jumps, dont know why. now i tried it with autoit and there it works (but without the start and stop button thingy, just the loop) and i changed the pixel, the color and the delay and now it works, also i implemented a counter so it stops after 200 dodges. just for me to know when its done :) thank you!

As someone who has played this game countless times over on the PS2, I cannot thank you enough for making this. I'm totally downloading this right now. You, sir, are a saint.
