A macro is a shortened version of a computer command which makes the computer carry out a set of actions. The main function of macro: multiple events can be triggered through one key. Macros can be used for one-key combos, one-key chat, etc. It is very useful in some clicks that require repeated clicks or fixed logic. This article will tell you how to set up the macro, the specific syntax and usage of the macro, and some common macro examples.
1. How to set up the macro
Step 1: First, you need to download LDPlayer and a game, and start the game in the emulator.
Step 2: Click the "Keyboard mapping" in the upper right corner of the emulator, find the button "Write macro", and drag that button into the game interface (The position of the button is arbitrary).
Step 3: Click the pencil button in the lower right corner of the button that you dragged, click "Save" after writing the command (For details, please refer to the second and third sections of this article). After setting a macro, click the "Save" buttons in the lower right corner of the "Macro editor" and the emulator respectively.
Note: The way to get the coordinates: when you hover your cursor over one position in LDPlayer, the coordinate of that position will be showed in the bottom left corner of "Macro editor" automatically. (Only version 3.24 or higher has this function)
2. The specific syntax and usage of the macro
1. size command
Command name: size
Syntax format: size x1 y1
Example: size 1280 720
Usage: the resolution of the current emulator window. The size command can still be triggered after zooming in or out on the emulator window. The size command must be added before the macro command that needs to use the coordinate, and it will be invalid after the emulator resolution is changed. If you want your size command to take effect again, your size command needs to be reconfigured or the emulator resolution is changed back.
2. touch command
Command name: touch
Syntax format: touch x1 y1 time (ms)
Example: touch 200 200 1000
Usage: Click on the specified position on the emulator window.
Command name: touch
Syntax format: touch x1 y1 x2 y2 time (ms)
Example: touch 100 200 200 200 1000
Usage: simulate the sliding operation of the mouse, sliding from dot A to dot B, you can also set the time required for sliding.
3. wait command
Command name: wait
Syntax format: wait time (ms)
Example: touch 500 500
wait 1000
key A
Usage: It can be used with click commands such as touch command and key command to wait for a delay. The time unit is millisecond.
4. press command
Command name: press
Syntax format: press x1 y1 x2 y2 time (ms)
Example: press 200 200 200 300 5000
release
Usage: Long press the positions of coordinates, the long press time of each coordinate is determined by the time that is set, such as the time 5000ms in the above example, the long press time of each coordinate will be 2500ms. The long press command needs to be combined with the release command.
Press-n (n=1,2,3,4,5...) command
Command name: press-n
Syntax format: press-n x1 y1
Example: press-1 200 200
press-2 200 300
press-3 300 400
Usage: Click on n positions at the same time. The above example shows that three positions will be clicked simultaneously. The release command is not required in this press-n command.
5. key command
Command name: key
Syntax format: key
Example: key A
Usage: The preset key mappings can be triggered by the key command, that is, one-key combos can be realized by the key command.
6. text command
Command name: text
Syntax format: text
Example: key enter
text Guys! Quickly use LDPlayer to play Arena of Valor!
Usage: key command will trigger the Enter key to open the chat window first, and then text command will copy the words that you have set previously to the chat text-input box.
7. ondown, onup command
Command name: ondown
onup
Syntax format: ondown
onup
Example: ondown
touch 100 100
onup
touch 200 100
Usage: the coordinate (100,100) will be clicked when a macro key (A key that you must input by pressing it on your keyboard as soon as you drag the "Write macro" into the game interface) is pressed, the coordinate (200,100) will be clicked when that macro key is released.
8. loop command
Command name: loop
Syntax format: loop
Example: loop
touch 100 100
Usage: Press and hold the macro key to start the loop, release the macro key to stop the loop. The loop in the above example is "touch 100 100". So the coordinate (100,100) will be touched constantly as long as you hold the macro key all the time. Moreover, the coordinate (100,100) will not be touched after you release the macro key. If you want your loop to be kept even after you release the macro key, you can use the mouse to click on other computer applications or your computer desktop while holding the macro key.
9. switch-mouse command
Command name: switch-mouse
Syntax format: switch-mouse
Example: switch-mouse
Usage: Used to control the view after hiding the mouse. It needs to be used with the Shoot-view button to take effect.
10. type=mouse-lock command
Command name: type=mouse-lock
Syntax format: type=mouse-lock
Example: type=mouse-lock
Usage: Used to fix the mouse in the emulator window to prevent it from moving outside the emulator. It can be used in MOBA games to prevent the mouse from disappearing during observation.
11. type=cancel command
Command name: type=cancel
Syntax format: type=cancel
Example: type=cancel
Usage: Press the macro key while holding the skill key to cancel the cast.
3. Some common macro examples
1. Press F (any key can be set) to trigger 3 clicks, whose coordinates are as follows respectively, (800, 600), (900, 600), (1000, 600).
2. When you press F, the dot (800, 600) will be clicked automatically. When you release F, the dot (900, 600) will be clicked automatically.
3. Slide.
4. loop command: Long press F to execute click events.
5. Long press.
6. key command: Call the key that you have set. It will be easier to implement the combo. When you press 6, the skills of E and W will be released respectively and the direction of these skills follows your mouse.
7. text command: Chat with others through one key in Arena of Valor. Trigger the Enter key to open the chat window using key command first, and then copy the words that you have set previously to the chat text-input box via text command.
8. switch-mouse command: Show or hide the cursor in games like PUBG MOBILE. View the picture 1 below. Besides, please note that you need to drag the Shoot-view to LDPlayer if there is no keyboard mapping for it. For example, now there is no keyboard mapping for Rules of Survival, so you need to drag it first, as shown in picture 2 below.
In 3D games, it can be used to hold the right mouse button to change your view, and your cursor will be shown after you release the right mouse button, as shown below.
