Whats your autowalk contraption ?

[str33tsuite 19]

I'm sure like many players are getting tired of the long walks in DayZ so I came up with this:

A Zippo ligher on top of a nail clipper pressing down my W key, post yours if you have any.

I use a zippo lighter and one of the extra gummy earphone pieces you get with a new set of earphones

Mine is a nail clipper :)

While pressing W to run I access my Steam overlay via Shift-Tab, then I release the W key and switch back to the game and voila: I'm running without having to press anything.

Hold down W and press shift+tab to go into Steam overlay, then shift+tab back into the game and voilà

Damn it, Sjors beat me to it!

Use a stud key:

Got a chunky keyboard and I stick it right down the 'W' key. Works a dream

my watch

it's nice it's fancy and it's heavy enough to press the key down

Don't forget to give the steam some coal or else it will "run" out.

This is one of the easiest methods to auto-walk/run.

First things first, run your game through steam. If you use DayZ commander there is an option in settings to allow this.

Next, start running. Whilst holding down the W key, open the steam overlay, in-game (Shift+Tab).

Once this is opened you can let go of W then close the steam overlay.

Requires no objects in real-life which could possibly damage the key.

To stop running just update the game by pressing the W key again.

Try AutoIt or AutoHotKey.

Or if you're using a G series keyboard from Logitech, you can use a script like:

function OnEvent(event, arg, family)

if event == "G_PRESSED" and arg == 10 then

state = not state

if state then

PressKey("w")

else ReleaseKey("w")

end

end

end

Substitute the "10" for the G key you want to use as your autorun key and "w" for the key you want to hold down.

Personally I find it useful as cruise control whilst I'm driving vehicles.

Another easy way without using a heavy object is to fold a piece of paper a few times until it's thick enough to push down the side of the up arrow key

[schmotto 32]

What's that rolled up but of cardboard on the post it note for hmmmm???

[Riiquiem 35]

a simple toggle macro on sidewinder x4. press to start running, pressa gain to stop

Using a doorkey to lock the key.

You have a G series keyboard and this is what you do?

Try this:

1. Open your Game Panel Software (if you don't have it installed, install it)

2. Create a new profile for ARMA 2 or just use your normal profile.

3. Right click on the profile you intend to use and click "Scripting"

4. If you're going to use your default profile, save whats already there in a txt document or something to keep it for later if you want to revert (although this isn't really necessary as I think you can just revert the default profile back to its defaults anyway)

5. Copy and paste this text into the script window.

function OnEvent(event, arg, family)

if event == "G_PRESSED" and arg == 10 then

state = not state

if state then

PressKey("w")

else ReleaseKey("w")

end

end

end

6. Edit the arg == 10 line to any number you wish to use for the autorun key (1-12).

7. Enjoy.

One day soon I'm going to add in a line which stops the script whenever I press S, but I'm not sure how to do that so I'm going to need to do a little research first.

Do you people just leave these things on your keyboard and then leave the room to do something else?

Of course not, that would be very foolish but it does give the fingers a rest when running / swimming long distances....

My finger, herp derp.

Autohotkey when I can be bothered.
