Ignore all the Gauss users using macros that dont want you to. If it was so bad they wouldnt mind helping the OP instead of trolling him. Here is how although I refuse to use macros because I consider it cheating.

As anyone can see the macro basically bypasses the mechanic and those saying the current gauss charge up is better than a macro are now exposed for what they are.

Wut? Dude, you've got a wierd view of cheating.

He's still got to charge the rifle. All the same rules apply.

There's no "trick" to using the Gauss Rifle, it's not like there's a ridiculously small window you can fire in. It can hold a charge for a reasonably long time.

Such a macro is 100% purely a disadvantage. It's BAD. It makes you play worse, objectively worse. And not "worse" in the sense that somethings doing your work for you, but rather worse because you're losing control of the exact moment you fire at.

Ya i would since it bypasses some of the gauss mechanic making it easier to use since 3 stages to fire 1 weapon is a little much. I am sorry you have a problem with that.

More importantly the OP would like it work the way you descibed and the original topic has been trolled for 3 pages without anyone answering the simple question. I did so and am now being trolled for doing so. What has the troll brigade so excited????????

Saying "don't handicap yourself" isn't trolling.

Sorry you can't understand that. It's an easy macro to write. And valueless.

You're a troll, Winters. (Thought I'd say it first...)

Have you used a gauss before? I think not because you cant be serious.

Read slowly. The gauss mechanic is 3 stages. Press, charge up, release. The macro bypasses the release part of the mechanic. Although the press and charge remain.

The mechanic is the delay. Press/charge/release is just the keys that do it. The physical action has absolutely nothing to do with gameplay. The only games where physical actions are complicated enough to matter are fighting games and arguably some competitive RTS games, and they're dumb for that reason.

By your logic it's also bypassing the entire game to use a joystick since you don't ever have to click your mouse.

Or you could take about an hour or less of in-game time to just learn the Gauss Rifle the normal person way.

This is one of the major problems with the mechanic. It's nowhere near visible/audible enough in chaotic fights. One of the reasons I stopped using the weapon completely.

If I could (without being banned) mod the sound effects I'd grab clips from the snes mega man x charging sound... mmmm that'd be nice.

Ya well the guy asked a simple question and gets trolled for the most part for 3 pages. This does bypass the mechanic by the way, the word I was looking for is bypass and automate would work also. The press and release mechanic is no longer there, there for bypassed. Which technically makes using a macro cheating as per the TOS, so I understand everyone denying they are using macros and your lame arguement that it isnt being bypassed.

I rate your trolling a 1 out of 10 for lack of originality or logic.

It's already the 21st Century. Where have you been? The world is all about automation these days.

Yeah, can't argue it here =)

But to be fair, it was if anything somewhat of a counter troll - His post bordered on trolling itself, given how ridiculous the whole notion that it was cheating was.
