ok i'm a n00b at this and i dont even know where to start but i want to make a script that will let me set up a end less loop of things to do (like scv mine minerals then make more scvs until there are so many of them)

i found a couple of things that may help with finding out the sprite id and other info that may help, datedit and memgraft both can be found at

Great game, Ive been playing it for about 15 years now Smile

I wouldn't recommend using AHK to right a script for it though because its unpredictable. The screen scrolls in all directions and nothing is constant. If you're looking for a winbot or something similar, there are dozens available for download already.

Agreed. AHK can be unpredictable in stable situations let alone Starcraft. Not only that but there aren't keyboard shortcuts to select SCVs, only to make things once selected.

the initial screen is predictable, and you can find the cc via a custom image search, thats not the problem.

The problem is that when you click or select or press a key, it is going to disturb whatever the user is doing at the time. Suppose you automatically hotkey the cc to 1, and the user is attacking, then AHK sends "1s" to queue an scv, it just unselected your attack units. not acceptable.
