I am trying to get a TAG Autohotkey macro, I've downloaded a few samples but in comparison to the macro I used to have and lost they all pale.

When started it opened an small window with drop down menu to select which weapon group had to be toggled on/off but the best is that it automatically detected if MWO window was active and if you had opened chat on MWO so it didn't interfere at all with anything other than toggling TAG.

I don't remember were I got it so I can't download a new copy, anyone remembers it?

Thanks in advance.

#IfWinActive MechWarrior Online
 
tagLocked := 0
 
Capslock::
 
if(tagLocked){
   tagLocked := 0
   send {6 up}
} else {
   tagLocked := 1
   send {6 down}
}
 
return


I wrote a simple tag script. Set tag to weapon group 6 and press capslock to toggle it on/off

@Khobai,

Thanks for taking the effort to reply, but that is not what I was looking for. Macros like that I've found a plenty, I am looking for one macro that is much more complex and refined.

If you want a UI for your tag toggle then that's a much bigger project than a simple macro script - the UI stuff in autohotkey involves a lot more effort, probably enough that someone will want to get paid for it.

How do you use this script?

Having a TAG constantly on is not a gameplay advantage.

download autohotkey, paste the script in a notepad file, and give it a .ahk extension. then run it.

get yourself an arduino based on an atmega32u4, and a toggle switch. use the keyboard library to hold the 6 button down while the switch is on, map tag to group 6. put the whole thing in an altoids tin for class. plug it into the usb port and the computer will see an hid keyboard device.
