Hello, I just got my hands on SS Xai mice and its awesome.
The only problem I got its SS macro recorder is able to record only keyboard clicks so its impossible to make a double-click LMB macro.

Is there any way to create macros which include mouse buttons?

i had a 4$ mouse before which had doubleclick button by default so I got used to it. Not specifically for starcraft (actually i rarely used it in sc).

Google around, there is some software that can be used to intercept input actions and trigger macros instead (like doubleclick), most useful for making function keys into media player controls.

And you are ok with someone mass feedbacking your infestors instantly because of a macro that you described.

Yes I expect people/you to click that many times.

WHAT?????? you have to manually aim feedbacks on the infestors, you know that right?? the infested terran spell can target thegroun/needs no target. for feedback this macro would mess everything up im pretty sure because you would feedback 16 times on one infestor(if the first doesent kill him), grats you just wasted all your energy on nothing

you are simply retarded.
He was asking you how would u feel when your 15 infestors were instant fedback by some macro or other 3rd pt tool.
using macro for spamming infested terrans is illegal and even if blizzard wont punish you, you wont be able to play @ any LAN tournaments with that.

ok you can insult me all you want but the feedback example was just plain wrong. because if the macro targetted(!) uniits for you it would be a real hack, whereas just "spam" macros are PERFECTLY legal and ethically unquestionable(imho) for ladder....

I don't even double-click. I control-click, or shift-control-click. Setting a macro command for something pointless is well.... pointless.

@isleyofthenorth
No, its exactly same thing. Now imagine that u have normal basic mouse and your opponent can do 16 actions by one click when u cant.
Also its totally illegal and its forbidden by Blizzard and by every tournament. You can bind one action to one button, nothing more.

@dUTtrOACh
Did u even read the topic? I dont need it for SC2, but for Windows things. I agree with ctrl btw.

They are not legal, they are clearly against Blizzards TOS and you will be banned. This follows consistently with tournament play, where they are also illegal. If you use these in a tournament setting you will be DQ'd and banned from tournament play. Please refrain from cheating in SCII, it is unethical as well as pathetic.

Here is Blizzards wording specifically in which you are breaking:

"2. Additional License Limitations. The license granted to you in Section 1 is subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 1 and 2 (collectively, the "License Limitations"). Any use of the Service or any Game in violation of the License Limitations will be regarded as an infringement of Blizzard’s copyrights in and to the Service and/or Game.

.... you have a macro that automates many clicks onto a single key stroke. They specifically list any type of non-intended automation (IE multiple actions with 1 stroke, chat bots, spamming, etc). I play Z too and I agree its a massive pain in the ass to spam IT but really its going to be the last thing I bring up if I ever meet David Kim.

blizzard has stated that the rule for macros / hotkeys / etc is "one click / button press per action." if you use macros that do 2 actions from 1 input u will get ur bnet account banned and will have to either quit playing or buy another copy of the game (i doubt they ban your IP)

The only question I have is when you try to use a macro for your xai, like say you are borred and want to make a macro that left clicks and you want to assign this macro to one of your side buttons. The action of left clickign is recorded in the xai as:

"

left click down
left click up


"

and I think this technically would be two actions, which is piss annoying.

edit: b/c you want 1 action per button, and the rules are 1 action per button. you want to left click down when u side click down (and stay there when ur holding it down, i.e. if you are boxing units) then u want "side click up -> left click up" when you release the button. But apparently you cant do this.

So say you want to use your other side button to press enter for you b/c you are too lazy to move your hand all the way over to your keyboard when you want to say gg to someone. if you make a macro that does "enter" it will do:

enter down
enter up

so now u press ur side button and its two actions. ....................?
