Lets say, for fun, I wanted to make a python code that detects when I die so it can automatically send a message into my friends discord server with something goofy or funny or just downright saying “get good”, would that be allowed you think?
Whilst harmless on paper. It wouldn’t be allowed. The anti cheat would end up picking it up.
You aren’t allowed to automate stuff.
There were ult trackers in the past and those were considered illegal.
Not really, just reading the graphics from the screen is safe.(Infact streaming software do that all the time) As long as you dont try to access the game memory, it should be safe. Thats also why AI based cheats are so popular now days and so hard to detect, because although they dont aimlock as good as normal cheats that access the ram, they only rely on the graphics displayed on the screen to generate mouse input for aimbot, the AI processing even can be done on a seprate PC via a capture card, and sends the mouse input back the gaming PC via usb, which leaves no trace in the gaming PC, even if the anticheat does a full disk file scan.(Which I dont think its legal)
Overwolf has an OW2 api with an event for your own death. If you get access to dev tools you could make a little app for it.
Thats what i thought too, but I do use ReplayHUD and it automatically will clip when I die so i thought, well if that can do that, maybe I can do this? But ofc i dont want to be banned so i wont take any risk lol. Maybe I can do a reach around, and have my code auto detect when ReplayHUD captures a death replay outside of overwatch and then do that. Its out of my league for coding, but eh
