Gaming macro key is a recording of a series of key sequences (software or hardware). A key sequence is a series of keyboard keystrokes, mouse actions, or menu actions that is bound to a command.

On UnrealTournament most macros are for dodging or jumping.
So with only one stroke you can do for instance some instant dodges with quite no delay and no place which are needed to achieve normal dodges.
you gain time and stability by a lot.

Using any moves macros (from keyboard, mouse or anything else) is considering in our community as a cheat and will lead you to a life ban.

Using a program or tool in order to perform in game actions for you in rapid succession so that you essentially do perfectly timed dodges straight after dodge delay or after landing from a fall or w/e. That's macroing.

So basically if you're not doing all the in game actions manually and all by yourself, thats macroing. Using a scroll wheel for jumping is basically a macro however not considered a cheat (as it's too hard to police, and anyone living in this day and age should have a mouse with a scroll wheel so no one is limited)

oh I understand thank you, but in my server I have BTACLogs and that detects macro in the players for numbers
for example:
43.272018ms
12.687683ms
36.737442ms
...
I don't understand that :/

I'm not sure how accurate BTAC is, however those times I *believe* are either:

a) How quickly a player dodges after the 'dodge delay'' time expires.

or

b) How quickly the user inputs the "double tap" command (i.e, the dodge command).

Either way, these numbers show a definite macro. Take for example the 12.687...ms time. That's 12.68 milliseconds, which is 0.0126 seconds. This would mean that this player would be able to input 79.4 keystrokes per second (pressing 79.4 keys on your keyboard in one second), which is obviously impossible without some sort of aid of a macro, especially considering with a dodge that you require to press the same key twice, and it's not just mashing any keys on your keyboard.

I'm leaning towards the times being recorded towards b) but either way, those times are definitely 'cheated' for either a) or b). For a) it would mean the person managed to dodge 0.01 seconds after their dodge delay reset, or during a dodge a user managed to double tap a direction key in 0.01 seconds, both impossible.

No problem.

I'll just say that it's also possible (but very unlikely for random players), that if you're still using the older versions of BTAC (I've heard this has been fixed for newer versions but I'm not sure), that if you hold down all 4 direction keys on your keyboard at the same time, eventually you will be kicked from the server for using a macro. But random players would have no idea about this, and unless you were doing it on purpose no one would be pressing all 4 direction keys at once (plus you need to hold it down for 5-6 seconds anyway).

But as I said this is highly unlikely with random players.
