Anyone have a working manual animation canceling script?

[Asapp]

I'd like to try some of the speed runs and see how I do, but the rules state that you can't have automatic animation canceling.

This is understandable of course, but I can't figure out how to set up a manual script.

Anyone know of a simple script that will take care of that?

Thanks, but this one doesn't seem to work anymore.
The Links in the desc are no longer valid, so I have to type it in Manually.
When I try to run it, it gives me an Error for the entirety of line 4.

do you have a gaming keyboard or mouse? If yes, the software likely has a built in feature called "macro"

Alternatively windows has a built in macro feature that I have never used[support.microsoft.com]

alternatively you could also use a 3rd party app like AutoHotkey to create a macro

Lastly, USING A SCRIPT FOR SPEED RUNS IS STILL CHEATING.

I just tried downloading it and trying it and it worked. Are you using the google drive link and downloading the 3 to 1 AHC file?

You are allowed to use a script to animation cancel in stardew speedrunning. The game has a function built in that lets you animation cancel, the script just makes it so instead of pressing 3 buttons at once, you just have to press one to do it.

Straight lies

Global Game Rules
No launching through SMAPI or otherwise playing with mods.
No tools which pull the game seed or automate searching for data are allowed during a run.
No macros or scripts that time animation canceling (AC), i.e. the timing must be done yourself. AC is not allowed in Vanilla.
In game versions 1.5 or newer, must show an empty seed textbox in the character creation menu before beginning the run to be considered unseeded. Seeded runs should show a populated seed box. Note: you can find the seeded leaderboards by clicking the arrow on the right.

Animation canceling is not allowed in vanilla speedruns and the glitch category does not allow macros for it. People are using scripts to rebind the keys used for the glitch, not to cheat and do the glitch for them.

It literally says there that the timing must be done yourself... Which is what they are doing with the macro. The macro isn't timing it, it's just making so that if you press a single button, it acts as the 3 needed to animation cancel. Just watch a speedrun and you'll see them using it lol.

There's separate categories for animation canceling and no animation canceling, and if you look at the speedruns, you see that it tells you whether or not it was used in that run.
Also, you're literally agreeing with me but calling me a liar, what are you on about.

Also OP, if that video doesn't work, there's resources on https://www.speedrun.com/stardew_valley/resources that will help you with animation canceling

The Google Drive download didn't show up for me before, but it does now.
Thank you! This works perfectly!

Firstly pressing 3 buttons at once requires timing, there is no way around it. Using a macro to do it for you is cheating.

Secondly, you linked a video using a glitch and a macro doing a run in a glitchless category? rightt....

Read the speedrun rules a little more carefully, macros for timing are not actually allowed even in the glitch category. Using a macro to do three things at once is using a macro for timing, no if ands or buts...

[red255]

a macro counts as tool assisted and is a proof of concept, what a human could do for time if he was perfect.

not a valid speed run. its only for theory crafting.

[dexter]

Doesn't matter what you believe lol. I've linked you the world record where he is using it...
Pressing those 3 buttons to animation cancel is hard coded into the game, thus it was decided that animation canceling wasn't cheating/glitching. Then to even the playing field, cuz pressing 3 different buttons across the keyboard is insane, they decided that they'd allow a script to press the 3 buttons at the same time. You still have to time when you press the button to actually animation cancel, you just don't have to turn into a spider to do it.
