Zoom macro

Post by BillyBoBBizWorth » 29 Jun 2018, 23:52

Hey, since the weapon attachment buttons have been added in the top left, my zoom macro doesnt work anymore sadly.
Weirdly, the grenade launcher still works with the same macro that used to work for zoom not that long ago.

Has anyone got a working zoom macro? Im not sure if zoom macro'ing can even be done anymore, which sucks balls.

To PFC Max Dallas, who kept doing the path between the frontlines to FOB (the only place with medical aid) with a roller bed, and saved a lot of marines who'd have husked otherwise. And to Dr. Haley Altman, who after all medics were gone was fixing us time and again for hours straight. At the end there were over 10 patients around her either dead or in crit, and she just kept going."

There doesn't appear to be any way to macro zoom right now. Hopefully this is just an oversight and will get corrected, because it's very awkward to use scopes now.

Railscopes' activation button was load-from-attachment. Now it's Toggle-rail-flashlight.
Since the latter doesn't have a verb, you can't macro it, thus you can't macro railscopes. Hopefully it's just an oversight and the verb gets added.

You could always bind a button to click a certain part of the screen. IDK how it meshes with the rules though. I assume a simple script would be fine but a "cheat" script that simulates multiple precise clicks and timing would be banned as cheating.

.click macros are a native feature of BYOND which are intentionally disabled on this server, so I don't think emulating that would be kosher. That said, scopes really should be macroable.

.click is disabled because you can do it to say. .click young-runner or .click shotgun

Do i really have to make a game suggestions post on gitlab about trying to get this simple macro we had available just a few weeks ago back in the game? Looks like i do,

Screw it, done it already.

Get behind the suggestion and make a post if you want zoom macro back like i do.
