When I try to single I double and it means I keep stopping probes from mining. You can always go to control panel and change your double-click speed | ||

So far, I only correct for a-clicks and p-clicks blocking immediately subsequent hotkeys. After the few days I've been on ban, I've also reconsidered this, and while I certainly can see the opposing viewpoint--that certain people who do not use this will be at a significant disadvantage--I also see that the resulting advantage from using such a script is not absolute. Here is why: Most non-gaming mouses are not designed to automatically rebound after the left or right buttons are depressed. And most event-heavy applications (like games) detect the keydown for hotkeys rather than the full keypress anyway, so this is usually not a problem. In starcraft, however, a "click" is not registered until you release the mouse button, so those of us with mice that don't automatically and quickly send back "keyup" events to the computer are highly out of luck. This script generates no new keystrokes, rather, it only completes an already executed keystroke of the mouse click --saving those few critical milliseconds, making an otherwise prohibitively slow "mouseup" event instantaneous. i know it might be a bit much to claim, but I firmly believe such a script is an equalizer. In terms of click response it puts the bulky crap-mouse user on equal footing with the razer user. | ||

I could, in the same way, argue that having a nice computer or a nice keyboard or a precise mouse is an unfair advantage. | ||

What I'm trying to say is that if you have a reallly nice mouse, this won't help you very much. If you have a shitty mouse, this will help you a lot. The only issue I see is that, in many cases, shitty mouse WITH this > (if only slightly) great mouse WITHOUT. | ||

If say someone gets LAN Latency in a game and someone else doesn't, the one w/o it will have the disadvantage (of course this can never happen, but in this case 1 player is left without what the other player has) You missed my point. People already have small advantages in many ways. I used hardware differences as an example. Is there really a reason that this should be regarded as more than a small advantage that a nice keyboard might provide? | ||

I personally still find it a fine line between this and programming scripts to run long sequences of commands. It doesn't mod the game at all. This is exactly why I think topics like this should stay open for discussion. It contributes a little to defining that line. | ||

The implementation aspect or the ethical dilemma such an implementation is causing? Implementation, at least for the narrow scope of actions for which this applies, is complete. Ethical dilemma is the content of all subsequent posts in this thread after the OP. | ||

If in that .5 seconds a click is executed, it will be instantaneous: i.e. it will not interfere with the next keystroke. And after that click is executed, you are no longer in A or P mode, so you can instantly drag select right? I mean it will only interfere with left click once within that .5 seconds (unless you press A or P again)? So you can A, left click, and immediately click drag? | ||

The "instaclick" mode only runs for the shorter of .5 seconds or a click. Edit: sorry for double-post. I'm reaaaalllly bad at remembering the quote syntax, which is strange because it's so freaking simple. | ||
