Is "AutoHotKey" VAC bannable?
First of all, I am not using this..... yet.....
Second of all, If you never heard about it, just heard about it , or genneraly dont / never used it, don't comment on this topic.



Now, I got 2 questions :

Is it vaccable?
If you used it, for how long did u use it?


Now, I know you can still get overwatched, but that's fine.
I only (for now) can't master the AK spray. The only thing atm.
So I'm looking for a way around it.


If you didn't know what AHK is, lemme introduce you all.
AHK is just a macro setup. Pretty much Razer Synapse and Logitech software alike, but different.

AHK is not INTERFIERING in any way with ANY PROGRAMS at all.
It only does certain things (aka move the mouse down to control the spray).
If I wasn't in game, it would legit move my mouse down (as it was set) when a key is pressed.

So..... if you can.... please answer these questions.

I've been hearing a lot and I mean a lot of different answers.

P.S. : If this is counted as a cheat, why isn't Macro Software like Razer Synapse also? They're pretty much the same. They control the keyboard / mouse / whatever, but don't interfiere with the game.

Any scripts and macros are considered cheats and you can get vac banned if caught using them.

And there again, you do not see my point.
Lemme copy paste it...

wrong.
scripts in the csgo config folder are NOT considered cheats and are perfectly fine to use, macros are typically fine to use but the most than can happen would be you getting overwatched. scripts/macros will never trigger vac bans unless they inject into csgo (ahk might if it moves your mouse)
the only thing that will EVER trigger a vac ban is an external program injecting into csgo.
i don't get why you want to use it for the ak though you just pull down and to the left and even then the new update made spraying less reliable so you might as well tap fire

You can't be VAC banned, but you can be Overwatch banned , depending on the script you use.

I understand that auto exec files aren't considered scripts. I was most talking about bhop scripts and the like. My fault should have worded original post better

Since u r not using hacks and no program is being tampered with or used I think it's is still safe to say you could get a minor vac ban from overwatch. Like if u saw anomaly earlier this year he got a vac ban but it wasn't a full on forever ban. He was overwatched and acccused of griefing by TKing his friends. This is what I believe would happen to u my good sir. If u were to be overwwatched by someone and they figure out tht its not hacks, but hotkeys I think u could get a minor offense because you're still using some other thing to give u an edge over other players

How about get good at the game and not use a macro?

Aren't those key binds? I use them to buy weapons and armor. For example my num pad 1 is set to buy Kevlar+helm and 2 is buy ak\m4

No it isnt. You cannot get VAC ban for macros. IF you think bhop or no recoil so dont worry. Macros arent detected by VAC.

macros are keys that arent bound to anything they are like normal keys but you set them up to use whatever num pad is a num pad

uncompiled scripts are not vac bannable

It's cheating, but cannot be VAC'd. It's a douche move and against the rules, but it isn't bannable because you could be like us that have spent hours working in spray control.

I've used AHK for a solid month now, and I haven't been Overwatch. I only used a shop script which isn't perfect and I haven't been called out for hacking.
