Intro (you can skip this)
Hello,

My first shoot 'em up was Platypus. And in that game you can move your ship with the mouse, so i got used to this and i have no accuracy with arrows.

I know this is a skill issue, but i don't want to learn to move with arrows. It feels unnatural to me. So perhaps there are others like me that have the same ♥♥♥♥♥♥ fingers and prefer to ♥♥♥♥ up their wrist instead :D

So I made this script and decided to share it
Step1: Download AHKv2
First thing to do is download AHK[www.autohotkey.com]and install it.
DOWNLOAD THE V2.0! it does not work with v1

You installed programs b4 you know how to do it
Step2: Make the Script
Next make a new Text Document on ur Desktop paste the code provided here and save the file as a .ahk file




Here is the code:
; ZeroRanger mouse control #Requires AutoHotkey v2.0 #SingleInstance Force ; ─── SETTINGS PollRateHz := 60 pollIntervalMs := 1000 / PollRateHz centerX := 960 centerY := 540 CoordMode("Mouse", "Screen") isActive := false ; ─── TOGGLE SCRIPT +!r:: { global isActive, pollIntervalMs, centerX, centerY isActive := !isActive if isActive { MouseMove centerX, centerY, 0 SetTimer(PollMouse, pollIntervalMs) ShowTip("Mouse control: ON") } else { SetTimer(PollMouse, 0) ShowTip("Mouse control: OFF") } return } ShowTip(text) { ToolTip(text, 10, 10) SetTimer(() => ToolTip("", 10, 10), -900) } ; ─── MOUSE TO ARROWS PollMouse() { global centerX, centerY MouseGetPos &x, &y dx := x - centerX dy := y - centerY if dx > 0 Send("{Right down}") else Send("{Right up}") if dx < 0 Send("{Left down}") else Send("{Left up}") if dy > 0 Send("{Down down}") else Send("{Down up}") if dy < 0 Send("{Up down}") else Send("{Up up}") MouseMove centerX, centerY, 0 } ; ─── FIRE BUTTONS #HotIf (isActive && WinActive("ZeroRanger")) *LButton::{ Send("{z down}") KeyWait("LButton") Send("{z up}") return } *RButton::{ Send("{x down}") KeyWait("RButton") Send("{x up}") return } *XButton1::{ Send("{c down}") KeyWait("XButton1") Send("{c up}") return } *XButton2::{ Send("{Ctrl down}") KeyWait("XButton2") Send("{Ctrl up}") return } #HotIf
Step3: How to use
  • Double click the .ahk file you just made
    *It will live in your system tray so if you wanna close it right click it and then click exit to completely deactivate the script

  • Launch the game!

  • ALT+SHIFT+R to activate the script.
    *once you are ready to control ur chosen Type-B or Type-C warrior press the shortcut! :D

    *a little popup should show up in the corner to inform u that its active like this:


  • Go reach Samsara!
Other
Oh nyo I Alt+F4'd and now my cursor is stuck!!!!

Press the shortcut to deactivate the script Alt+Shift+R

*The script hijacks your cursor to be stuck in the middle of the screen so u don't accidentally move it to your second screen and call your crush on discord (well technically its the middle only if you have a 1920x1080 monitor)

IF ALL FAILS AND IT STILL STUCK RESTART PC

Yes! You can click to shoot!

Mouse button 1 is normal shooty and Mouse button 2 is the other shoory
The side mouse buttons also do the rest of the shooty options

Annoying cursor on my screen jitters while I play

Go Fullscreen
Yes, I don't know how to hide the cursor with the script. If you play in windowed mode the cursor is visible but in fullscreen the game hides ur cursor so do that.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ i lost control in the menus

Yep, the mouse is now your arrow keys.
I would recommend removing ur hand from the mouse when you try to navigate the menu.

Happy Clicking!
