It changes based on map and position... but ya know blizzard really has to ban this sort of macroing!No one here will script this for you. When the game comes out, hopefully all of this will be blocked for ladder play/online play. | ||

first because the developers didnt take it into consideration it can create imbalances in the game even if both players are using it second if its gonna give u an advantage u pretty much have to buy it (think of the best custom input device as plugging your brain to the pc) dunno if your pad applies to any of this  | ||

I think using mouse macros to put a couple of commands on should be allowed at the players preference as unless you have the Razer Naga I doubt putting a-move and perhaps space bar (jump to last unit/structure/upgrade) would make the given player perform that much faster, it would just be at their preference if they prefer some commands on the mouse. A full-out gamepad like the Belkin Nostramo however, no I do not think those should be permitted. And for anyone who is interested here's what I did in WoW (keyboard). 1,2,3,4,R,T,Y,F,G,H,V,B,N as spell/action bar hotkeys (class Mage) All the commands such as 'C' to open character, 'B' to open bag and so on bound to Numpad QWEASD for moving/side-stepping, ZXC unbound and used as necessary. | ||

This topic showed me, that there are much more Variations between Keyboards, Mouses and Gamepads too. I share with you the categories, I could came up with untill now. Let me now if there is something I forgot about. Keys: 1) Simple 101key Keyboard 2) Keyboards with Bindable extra buttons 3) Keyboards with Macro buttons 4) Gamepads/Gameboards with Bindable and also Macro ready buttons Mouses: 1) Simple 2 button Mouse 2) Mouses with Bindable extra buttons 3) Mouses with Macro buttons 4) Maybe some electronic Pens or Touchpads, but I don't really know much about these things yet (Personally I use the 4-1 variation) | ||

If not troll, strategy is far more important than any benefit this would give anyway. We're talking about tournament level, where the skill difference between players is much lower and every edge they can find counts. | ||

If several people bring gamepads to a tournament, admins have to go through and check each binding. That's an absolute nightmare for local events, and potentially international LAN comps too. From a player's perspective, it's only fair if everyone has the same access to the macros. Everyone has access to a keyboard and mouse, but gamepads or expensive keyboards or mice with in-built macros? Not necessarily. And while they seem useless now, there is always the chance someone will find a way to make them extremely useful. So yeh, ban it. | ||

You know I had the same views, but then again admins really wouldn't need to check every single keystroke for "illegal macros" pre-match. Most of the time there are people viewing the players actually playing and if someone notices that 1 button does several things they should be disqualified. I personally use a customizable keyboard that I have changed the key positioning for every race just so it's easier for me to remember (ie D produces probes, drones, and scvs). Now I'm far from being at a competitive level, but I would be really upset if I couldn't use my keyboard because others want to cheat. Then again I guess you could argue I'm handicapping myself by doing that lol | ||
