HellDivers 2 Macro [ CURRENTLY BROKEN ]

• The method used for this macro seems to have been patched.
• Even a basic logitech software macro uses AHK to input commands, meaning a solution would require a more complex method.
• This will take some digging, fix ETA unkown

This is an AutoHotKey script that to quickly call in stratagems. Read the Notes section for FAQ

Demonstration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_I3-dgA9xI

How To Use:

1. Install software dependencies
2. Configure script
3. Run

Installation

1. Download AutoHotKey (https://www.autohotkey.com/)
2. Download Notepad++ (https://notepad-plus-plus.org/)
3. Download HellDivers2Macro.ahk (above)

Configuration

Right click the .ahk script file, and open with Notepad++. The script is currently configured into 3 sections:

• Headers (No changes required)
• Keybindings
• Stratagem Definitions

Keybind format: KEY-NAME::METHOD-NAME()

Keybind example: Numpad7::RESUPPLY()

Stratagem format:

METHOD-NAME() {
    SendInput, {LControl Down}
    Sleep 25
    SendInput, {Blind}{ARROW-KEY-1 Down}
    Sleep 25
    SendInput, {Blind}{ARROW-KEY-1 Up}
    Sleep 25
    SendInput, {Blind}{ARROW-KEY-2 Down}
    Sleep 25
    SendInput, {Blind}{ARROW-KEY-2 Up}
    Sleep 25
    SendInput, {Blind}{ARROW-KEY-3 Down}
    Sleep 25
    SendInput, {Blind}{ARROW-KEY-3 Up}
    Sleep 25
    SendInput, {LControl Up}
    return
}

Stratagem example:

OrbitalPrecisionStrike() {
    SendInput, {LControl Down}
    Sleep 25
    SendInput, {Blind}{Right Down}
    Sleep 25
    SendInput, {Blind}{Right Up}
    Sleep 25
    SendInput, {Blind}{Right Down}
    Sleep 25
    SendInput, {Blind}{Right Up}
    Sleep 25
    SendInput, {Blind}{Up Down}
    Sleep 25
    SendInput, {Blind}{Up Up}
    Sleep 25
    SendInput, {LControl Up}
    return
}

Run

1. Save any changes to the .ahk script.
2. Double click the file to run using AutoHotKey software.
3. Script is now running, return to your game and press a keybind to test.

Conclusion

Notes:

• The default script works using the ARROW KEYS to call in stratagems, not WASD. (You can re-configure this in the script by replacing ARROW-KEY-1 with W, A, S, or D.)
• The script only works while not actively pressing WASD. (You must let go of WASD, press the bind, and then can resume pressing WASD.)
• The script will hold Ctrl + call the stratagem (You do not need to hold Ctrl yourself, but you will have to throw the stratagem yourself.)
• I found that any delay less than 35ms was causing error when triggering longer combinations.
• ONLY A FEW STRATAGEMS HAVE BEEN DEFINED IN THE PROVIDED SCRIPT.

Thank you to @Blu3spirits for their work on a similar HellDivers1 script which inspired this format. & thanks tony.

I've developed many .ahk scripts, but this one was particularly buggy to get working... This is my first working product, and is nowhere near optimal/complete. Please make your own changes to the script and open them as a PR!
