Mouse Macro Question

[Quizel]

Started using this option for semi auto pistols the other day and it got me curious.

 

Read a few times across many video games that semi auto weapons (or similar mechanics like magic casting) can be bad because you're limited to the fps between firing rounds.-not sure of the validity of that but i'll assume it's true.

 

Anyway, to ensure that you never miss a potential trigger pull, you'd want to set a macro to have a frequency of twice the fps or 1/2 the period of the frames per sec. (to satisfy nyquist criterion)

 

I for one cap'ed the game to run at 30 fps for various reasons. This would mean I should be using a macro to spam at 60hz or ~16.7ms.

 

If I set the macro to 15ms, would this ever cause an issue? Like que'ing up too many commands and just causing further lag or something?

 

Is this drastically overkill since semi-automatic pistols don't even get closed to 30 rounds / sec?

Yes. Fire rate is usually the limiting factor. FPS only limits when it's reaaaaaly low.

That can be overkill with a lot of pistols like with marelock. If you have FPS issues, changing macro ms could cause issues.
