Scripts in PVP

Just think of an example.
By pressing a button from F1 to F7 select a teammate and pass the ball with the center of passing circle exactly at him.
You can do it manualy of course and pretty fast.
But the machine can do it faster.

You took the decision. The machine made the move.

K, I'm already bored of posting vids and pics... which I only did one of each.

Ask yourself this: "Why would I bother downloading a third-party program that I still have to control?" The point of it would be to be lazy; i.e. let it do everything as you /lol at people. Now, even if a script for a game could make better judgement than current AI allows, who would bother making one for this game?

30 pages and no dev response. Wish the head of security would chime in here.

head of security?

does he get a gun?

If this gets a blue response... It won't get a blue response.

Alas rated warzones never had a chance.

obviously everyone who has time to /laugh or /spit at you in a wz must be using one of these programs, because no human being could ever manually type /laugh or /spit in the middle of a fight unless the fight was scripted for them

hey next time someone has the time to type "3 snow" you better report them because obviously they must be scripting to have the time for that

there's just no way humans are that fast

If only we could troll away all the real issues in this game.

That's not what the OP described and even that is far more difficult than it sounds. Doing it faster is...an interesting assumption when you consider what it would have to do in order to make a correct pass without any API integration.

There's two ways to handle this.

1) Try to scan memory and from that, ascertain the terrain and objects relative to those terrains. This isn't easy, considering the link between objects as a pointer to an object structure would be entirely separate from the object itself. Plenty of bots work this way however.

2) Pixel scanning - looking at each frame and trying to look for a pattern that signifies a vector to move the mouse to for an accurate pass. In the passing scenario this method sucks because it'll be very hard to program it to handle the Z plane properly. A screenshot is two dimensional the world is three dimensional. So it'd basically have to guess/analyze/optimize repeatedly to do it.

Both of those are bannable, require custom software to be built, may not always work properly, may not work faster than you can do this already and all for doing essentially what you could do *ANYWAY* with almost no effort on your part.

If a smart macro for Huttball passes is developed and becomes a problem, then we should discuss it. For now, this doesn't exist and is purely speculative anyway.

Nuclear aircraft carriers could drive through the gap between "could technically create" and "actually exists and is a problem."

When this stops being fiction, then we'll start hysterical world is ending threads demanding developer responses.
