Spam macros for Slide-Attack, Ability, Primary-fire and Melee in Warframe. Including non-spam Contagion macro.

Warframe Macros.ahk

#NoEnv ; For performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases
SendMode Input ; For speed and reliability
SetBatchLines -1 ; No script sleep, for more consistent timing behavior. Default behavior is 10ms execution then 10ms sleep
ListLines Off ; Increase performance by a few percent by not logging the lines of code that are executed

; Modifiers: [+ = Shift] [^ = Ctrl] [# = Win] [! = Alt] [* = Ignores unspecified modifiers] [~ = Doesn't block normal function] [$ = Forces hook, preventing hotkey self-trigger] More info here: https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/KeyList.htm
; Time values are in ms(MilliSeconds), 1/1000 of a second. 1000/delay = activationsPerSecond. I.e: 50ms delay -> 1000/50 = 20 per sec
; Time values are typically rounded up to a multiple of 10ms by the Windows time-keeping system. So there's no point to Timer/Sleep values that aren't multiples of 10. Higher precision may be achieved via Loop+DllCall, but is rarely relevant and certainly doesn't matter for this script

global slideDelay := 110 ; 110 achieves max movement speed with Balla (with extremely high attack speed). Use higher delay for slower attack speeds. Too low a delay can yield normal, non-slide attacks. To find out the sweetspot for your weapon, see if you execute any non-slide attacks, then increase delay incrementally until they stop

@KarlRamstedt
Works good!
But I have seen people achieve faster but i dont know how..... hoping maybe you can help me

IDK.1.mp4

Hello again.
I have a quick question:
Do you think it would be possible to somehow make spam macros activate about a second after the initial button press?

For example:
I want to use the "E spam" macro for melee because I don't really want to get trigger finger or carpal tunnel, but sometimes (for example when typing) I want to be able to press the E button just once instead of sending someone fifteen E's in a message.

Would it be possible to make it so when I initially press the E button the macro sends just one E input but if i keep holding it down for another second or two THEN it starts spamming?

@KarlRamstedt Works good! But I have seen people achieve faster but i dont know how..... hoping maybe you can help me

IDK.1.mp4

People that do it faster change the delay values to lower ones and remove the delay after the melee attack in the code (requires high FPS).
Also some of them aim the gun right after contagion is fired to "animation cancel" and fall of the ground faster.

//just find the "contagion" section in the code and change values from 40 to something lower and lower. when it stops working you need to go a bit higher again untill you find your sweet spot

make spam macros activate about a second after the initial button press?
I want to use the "E spam" macro for melee[...] but sometimes I want to be able to press the E button just once instead of sending someone fifteen E's in a message.

Well, the first solution would be to tap the button really quickly to avoid having it re-trigger.

Another solution is toggling the spam functionality off when you wanna type. That's why it's a toggle in the first place :P

But if you really want to code for this niche use-case, here's a quick solution that might work:

Spam(key){
	Send, % "{Blind}{" . key . " Down}" ; Required because ~ can't be used with KeyWait for blocking Auto-Repeat
	if (spam){
		Sleep, 999
		tmp := BoundFuncCache[key] ; SetTimer doesn't support function references in expression mode, requiring a temporary variable and regular variable dereferencing
		SetTimer, %tmp%, 50 ; Delay between activations in ms. 50ms = 20 times per second. Should be good for most use-cases
		KeyWait, % key
	}
}

(basically just add a sleep delay before starting the timer)

hello! im having a problem of the script not pressing the E key, and the spam key function seemingly doesn't work for any of the keys.... thoughts on what im doing wrong?

@foxertin not sure about the E-pressing, but note that you gotta press Ctrl+L to activate the spam. There should be a tooltip pop-up in the middle of the screen confirming with Spam On when you've pressed it.

Could you help make a Contagion heavy throw macro even when you have guns equipped please? This current macro does just the normal throw as far as what I have tested

@Turboameeba I'm not too knowledgeable on Heavy throws, they're just Crouch+Heavy Attack instead of normal attack?
Try this quick edit(and change Heavy-attack key if needed ofc):

*!Q:: ; Alt+Q to throw Contagion. Most of the delays(Sleep) need to be longer than 2 frames, which at 60FPS is 2/60 = 33.33ms, i.e: 40 delay. Increase delay to 70 if you can't keep FPS above 60
	Send, {Blind}{Space}
	Sleep, 40 ; Too short delay = throw fizzles (no throw)
	Send, {Blind}{Space}
	Sleep, 40 ; Only needed when melee isn't the active weapon. Too short delay = throw fizzles. Works with <2 frames delay, but not 100% reliably
	Send, {Blind}{RButton Down}{LCtrl Down}
	Sleep, 40 ; Too short delay = aim-glide gets stuck
	Send, {Blind}{MButton Down} ; Heavy-attack key
	Sleep, 40 ; ONLY NEEDED AS CLIENT. Too short delay = throw fizzles
	Send, {Blind}{RButton Up}{LCtrl Up}
return

@KarlRamstedt I appreciate your work!

Is it possible to bind the Slide-Attack to "XButton2" instead of Shift+LeftAlt (I changed my Melee default back to "e") and add a Bullet-Jump script to "XButton1"?

🙏🏽

@TheRealDjElite Changing slide attack trigger is easy enough for you to do on your own, so not gonna bother with the details on that one :P

As for a Bullet-Jump hotkey, try this:

*!XButton1:: ; Mouse 4 to bullet-jump
	Send, {Blind}{Ctrl}{Space}
return

If the above doesn't work, try this:

*!XButton1:: ; Mouse 4 to bullet-jump
	Send, {Blind}{Ctrl Down}
	Send, {Blind}{Space}
	Send, {Blind}{Ctrl Up}
return

@KarlRamstedt:

Thanks for the Bullet-Jump. Both actually work after I removed the "*!" from the *!XButton1 to get XButton1.

I got to bind the Slide-Attack to "Shift+Xbutton2" instead of Shift+LeftAlt.

Thanks for teaching me how to fish. :-)

@KarlRamstedt:

Any advice for when SPAM attack buttons get stuck? It seems to go crazy even if I click outside of WF.

@TheRealDjElite just tap the button. Should work even outside of Warframe.

@claymen1 Try increasing the delays. You look like you have a low framerate.

@KarlRamstedt fixed it alread long ago, and the fps drop i get only from the recording tho ^^

I cannot change the delay for hability, only the 4

Alt + PGUP / PGDN

@PsykhoEX have you tried Win(WindowsKey)+1 to select ability one?

@TheRealDjElite Changing slide attack trigger is easy enough for you to do on your own, so not gonna bother with the details on that one :P

@KarlRamstedt Previously, I had figured out how to assign the XButton2 to be the Slide Attack Trigger. However, I completely wiped my desktop and lost my AHK file for it. I've been trying to figure out what to edit but it's not working.

It's in this part of the macro, right?

*+LAlt:: ; Triggers with Shift+LeftAlt, then keeps attacking while LeftAlt is held down
	SlideAttack()
	SetTimer, SlideAttack, %slideDelay%
	KeyWait, LAlt
return
~*LAlt Up::
	SetTimer, SlideAttack, Off
return
SlideAttack(){
	Send, {LCtrl Down} ; Crouch key. {Blind} is not used because it causes Alt to sometimes get stuck logically down
	MeleeAttack()
	Send, {LCtrl Up} ; No delay needed between Crouch down and up. Has the bonus of removing the "shake" of spam-crouching
}

Could you help me out, please? I'd really appreciate it.

@TheRealDjElite yeah, it's in that part of the script. If you just want it to be XButton2 then you just replace *+LAlt:: with *XButton2::

@KarlRamstedt Does this look right?

*XButton2:: ; Triggers with Shift+LeftAlt, then keeps attacking while LeftAlt is held down
	SlideAttack()
	SetTimer, SlideAttack, %slideDelay%
	KeyWait, LAlt
return
~*LAlt Up::
	SetTimer, SlideAttack, Off
return
SlideAttack(){
	Send, {LCtrl Down} ; Crouch key. {Blind} is not used because it causes Alt to sometimes get stuck logically down
	MeleeAttack()
	Send, {LCtrl Up} ; No delay needed between Crouch down and up. Has the bonus of removing the "shake" of spam-crouching
}

@TheRealDjElite you gotta change the "Up" button as well. So make that ~*XButton2 Up::

That's what I thought. It doesn't work anymore. ~ Si hoc legere scis nimium eruditionis habes. Fac ut vivas. ✓ sent from my Motorola™ ADVISOR II™ Flex Alphanumeric Pager

Well, that doesn't make sense to me. Pretty sure it should work. Try with a different button to verify? Could be an issue with your mouse.

The Exodia Contagion heavy throw you have to first have your setting for for Switch Weapon enabled.. When you hold down that button, it turns on melee mode.. which means you can press aim button without actually taking a gun in your hand. Then you have to jump in the air.. Do aim glide and press crouch button to do a Jump aim glide SLIDE... Slide in the air.. And when you then press your heavy attack button, your Cntagion will actually throw a heavy Contagion, which will get that 2x crit chance buff etc, like you can see from this video. Sorry for bad quality. It was recoded with some website screen capture
Exodia Contagion Heavy.webm

@Turboameeba That sounds like what I wrote, no?
The code I gave you before should do that, but you may ofc have to tweak timings and/or possibly add additional delays between the crouches and other buttons.
You'll have to do some trial and error testing :)

So far the code I tested was just a normal jump throw. Not the heavy attack throw in the video. The haavy attack throw produces orange and red crits every single time. You cannot even do the heavy throw without first turning the melee mode on by holding the button down so you see the small blink red light effect. Just having the melee in your hand is not enough to do it. I dont use macros tho, was just curious in past.. The heavy throw is not also possible without the air slide during aim glide.

hey i cant get the exodia one to work without for some reason dashing

2023-05-30.07-01-09.mp4

@headasstommy could be a number of things causing this. Make sure all the keybinds ingame correspond to the buttons pressed by the script. If that doesn't fix it, try increasing the delays.
Also, looks like there's crouching happening in the script. Are you trying to do the heavy contagion throw?

been having this problem with the exodia contagion stand alone macro, only does ground slams no matter what delay i use, any idea what the problem is?
