Laser Gatling

Sorry if im sounding confusing not sure how to word this
so for example the duration of the ML is 1s with a 3s cooldown i would need 3 ML to have a constant rate of fire as long as the heat holds up anyway.
- represents a second
ML(1s)--->ML(1s)--->ML(1s) restart
although this would probably work better with SL's
any ideas on how to pull this off?

You would need to use a program like autohotkey and write a script that fires a small laser once every 0.75 seconds (you would need 4 small lasers to fire once every 0.75 seconds)

and yes macros are allowed.
Im not very good at scripting but this would more or less do the trick
#IfWinActive MechWarrior Online ; Avoid messing with the keys outside of MWO. RButton:: while GetKeyState("RButton","P") { send {3 down} sleep 25 send {3 up} sleep 725 send {4 down} sleep 25 send {4 up} sleep 725 send {5 down} sleep 25 send {5 up} sleep 725 send {6 down} sleep 25 send {6 up} sleep 725 } Return
So you'd put your 4 lasers in groups 3, 4, 5, 6 respectively and the script would fire each weapon group 0.75 seconds apart. Im not sure how effective that would be though, probably just better to fire all your lasers at once to be honest.

After all the includes and environment commands...
For 6 lasers with 1/10th of a second slack built in.
~LButton::
send {1 down}
sleep 100
send {1 up}
sleep 4000
send {2 down}
sleep 100
send {2 up}
sleep 4000
send {3 down}
sleep 100
send {3 up}
sleep 4000
send {4 down}
sleep 100
send {4 up}
sleep 4000
send {5 down}
sleep 100
send {5 up}
sleep 4000
send {6 down}
sleep 100
send {6 up}
However the point of this firing pattern is pretty useless to begin with since it assumes that there will be a target willing to stand around getting shot at by someone for that long.

The reason i wanted something like this over a single barrage is I can control the heat to an extent and its always shooting at someone, people seem to panick when their getting hit repeatedly
it fires a steady stream with 4 ML then stops where i can repeat works pretty good on lights as i cant keep hitting them as they run by, larger mechs i just keep moving and firing. for lights I get to about 15-18% heat a centurian took me up to 30% an awsome got me up to 42%. This was just using the ML targeting Ct, so ill have to see how effective it while using other with other weapons.
thanks again

The only thing i want to change is make it so the script starts/stops when i use the rbutton

For a sustained fire effect, set an extra group to groupfire and hold that down as soon as the cycle is over /already repeating, or continue to cycle manually.
Works great on a Hunchie 4p or (before ghost heat) a 6ac/2 Jager DD, I`ve only ever used macros for chat scripts.
