You can't get banned for scripts.

clarification. VAC will not ban you for simple scripts. You turn it into an exe, all bets are off.

as with anything that may give you an advantage, use at your own risk and server operators can ban you for anything they want. Some subscribe to and submit users to a list that other server ops use to keep these people out of their servers.

autoit is known for performing robotic sequence of action
enabling autoit alone wont get you banned.
using a script to make you look present while you were AFK, will be spotted by other players or overwatch, since such behavior ruins game experience for others.
example: AFKing in dota 2, usign autoit so you wont count as AFK is reportable & noticeable.
using an autoit script over another script (cant explain well) (cascade?), is not liked by overwatch either

again, use 3rd party at your own risk
if it give you advantages, chances are... well you know

Absolutely no script ever created has resulted in a VAC ban, ever. Those are not scripts, they are a .exe which hooks into the game and perfectly time jumps when you press the target key...

I have seen your credibility, knowledge & behavior in this forum, thus I decided not to argue with you

If you have seen my credibility and knowledge you wouldn't argue with me out of sheer fact of being proven incorrect, not because I am wrong which I most certainly am not even though that is what you're insinuating.

You don't know me, don't act like you do, I will school you to no end.

My behavior and the way I present myself is irrelevant to the facts. A fact is a fact regardless of how it is presented, to say otherwise is to commit a fallacy.

I guess I need to be clearer, you may have a "10 years service" badge, but your credibility and knowledge are far from those ages.
you may spent 10 years playing games & browsing forums, but you have no first nor second hand experience against "cheater" nor "hacker"
you are also not one of VAC (or Valve) team,
yet you look at yourself higher above the rest, only flagging your "10 years" flag, claiming you know more/better compared to other, which isnt necessarily true

if you dont have any real credibility or knowledge, that "10 years" flag doesnt mean anything

well, I actually crossed the line although I did say not to argue with you.
you can teach me to no end, but I'll probably wont say anything back, because I already did

This doesn't even make sense, I've been in the Valve community since 1999, started playing Counter-Strike in 2001 and have been on Steam since an hour after it launched in 2003.

I've been through and seen it all, I know more than mostly anyone about the platform itself and its history, the AC system and the games. I have no experience with "cheaters" or "hackers"? I've been in the competitive Counter-Strike community for over a decade, I have no first hand experience? You've got to be kidding me....

I give reason and explanation for what I say, valid and reasonable explanation. I don't just spit stuff out without going in depth about it or breaking it down. My credibility is untarnished and my knowledge is unquestionable. I am human and just as anyone else I slip up from time to time, however it is extremely rare, and I mean extremely rare, but when I do I openly admit it.

I don't wave my time here around as a flag, I use it as a tool to explain to people like you that I was actually here, saw, experienced and have been involved in these things personally, people like you were not.

It's like me being a veteran in Vietnam, telling someone all about my time there, my experience there and them trying to compare to it and understand it. They've only seen it on TV, heard about it and read about it. They don't understand things the same way I do because they were not actually a part of it, it's really that simple.

you two can stop this arguing right now.

the question has been answered and btw, nya is correct. You do not get VAC banned for scripts. You run an exe that someone tells you is a script, well... then you get a shiny VAC ban.

To be frank, not automatically. An EXE that doesn't get you a VAC ban is possible.
But to be realistic, don't. The chance of an EXE to get you a VAC ban is way too high to risk it.

Well yeah it's not automatically assured but for things like the other guy was suggesting most hook into the game.

We should make a fake hack with a virus in it which also gets em a VAC ban although it's illegal :(

An admin dude (forgot his name) actually witnessed exactly this: a malware designed to get people VAC bans.
Such a virus would be easy to design, it just would have to change hl2.exe (as an example).
