Autohotkey VAc trigger?

[Zyra]

My friend got vac banned. he said he has no cheats with that. he said maybe because of autohotkey. He ran his script has a .ahk. Can this get VAC triggered? I mostly mean can autohotkey trigger Vac

That depends on what the script is attempting to do. Just having the program installed won't trigger a ban, as it can be used for rebinding keys and setting up helpful macros used for general use. (not cheating)

On the other hand, if it's used to automate a string of in-game inputs and give yourself an unfair advantage, then it's as bannable as any cheat software.

But for good reason, we have no idea the internals of VAC and how it determines when a script is offering an unfair advantage, so it's not possible to know how your friend was banned specifically. I'd recommend not using any kind of automation via a 3rd party script.

My friends script was a bhop script (is it cheating)

[Mattio]

Well as I said, we don't know what VAC detects as a bannable script. But if I had to guess I'd say yes. It's not a function of the gamemode so the script is offering an unfair advantage, which is cheating.
So it's likely to be the cause.

I've never heard of anything of the sort. But probably not. I would try it on a TF2 throwaway first (remembering results take a month or so).

Please, autohotkey doesnt trigger VAC bans, vac detects cheats by md5 hashes, not from hotkeys plus using a bunnyhop script is legal my friend is doing it for like 3 years. So probably your friend lied to you and used a detected cheat.

Autohotkey in Background

Hello,

I using recently Autohotkey - til now in not protected games but I wonder if I can use it also in games like team fortress? In fact, can I get banned by having it running without hitting the hotkey? It is a macro to shoot a circle.

Why would you use an autobhoper anyways

[Zyra]

because portal 2 and Hl2 and portal.

No using autohotkey under any circumstances is completely safe and wont get you VAC banned. You only get vac banned if you use a public cheat

[Zyra]

ok. The reason i use it because i don't feel like remapping my keys and unmapping them for my brothers (rebinding and unbinding mwheelup) heres my script
*F7:: Suspend, Toggle
*SPACE::
Loop
{
GetKeyState,state,SPACE,P
if state = U
break
Send, {Blind}{SPACE}
Sleep,10
}
return

Sorry for resurrecting old thread, but it (VAC) will ban you for WriteMemory

[Pyr0]

it also mentions automated jumping scripts for overwatch "other hacking" so yes you will get banned. Plus I find it snnoying to watch the last idiot alive moving around like a rabbit... So vac ban, unsure, overwatch ban definately.

Unless they play TF2. For some reason I had a long exchange here once with someone who wanted to keybind a 100 jump bunnyhop. Have fun playing with him.;)

I would think using such script like this would make it a unfair advantage to bunny hop about the map while you shoot, meaning it can be auto.
