What about when a player hides behind the bar when it's minimized.

And to be fair when I chain fire. I'm not button mashing. I'm timing my taps and pressing very specific buttons in a very specific order.

So in reality what you should of said, should look like this

"I guess you can never really tell - Unless the person admits it or makes it insanely obvious"

If a player can hide behind YOUR HUD bar, then they can outmaneuver you anyway and you've pretty much lost the fight.

That's not a macro.

A macro allows a player to do an action quickly, usually faster than physically possible.

For example, a player wishing to pirate could have a macro that has them hit the tractor key, say, 35 times a second (while the chat window is not open) for if when a lolwut trader tries to jettison and subsequently shjote their cargo. To the naked eye, it's functionally identical to seeing the treasure chest icon flash and mashing B, but it allows the player to keep up whatever they've been doing beforehand without having to stretch their hand too much.

Never said it was a macro, I merely mentioned using a minimalist hud is technically cheating given it's not the vanila package, and the amount of times I could of fired an extra shot if it wasn't for people like Wesker and Sol always managing to sit behind those buttons for me.

And you can't tell easily if someone is using a macro or not which was my major point. I'm not sure why you're giving an example.

I don't want to be that guy, but what is stopping you from using minimalist HUD yourself?

What's stopping you from using macros as well? What's stopping us all from using aimbots? To be honest the what's stopping you shouldn't be a valid argument because by that line of thought everyone should cheat to the best of their abilities.

Installation is too easy and such an advanced developer like myself wouldn't dare waste precious development time installing overpowered cheats.

But using the argument that you just used. Why can't everyone just make chainfire macros. Or the plugin for that starwars freelancer mod that makes the guns have fire mode selectors.

What minimalist hud? You can press backspace to minimize the vanilla hud already.

What have you done that makes you an "advanced developer"? I'm genuinely curious.

After 300 hours of programming. I have created a triangle.
