[@sammy6002]

really helpful and very powerful~ thanks mate

[@Gravemans]

cant seem to get it working, the macro...any hint you can give me? managed to get autohotkey, the file, made it into a script, got it running, yet it doesnt work. No clue what im doing wrong :/

[@sammy6002]

hmm, the minion stacking works in any game but for the tower stacking I believe you need to be the host of the game (at least I found that / he mentions so I think) so make sure you're in you're the host. You place the tower you want and then sell it once, then place it again and if you hold ctrl and the number of your tower bind it should stack them. (hold alt if you have to rotate)

[@Gravemans]

I did try while i was a host. Tried the exact method he mentions. Also tried the exact thing you mentioned, still doesnt seem to work. Do i have to use windowed mode? (tried too though and didnt seem to work either). Or any other thing i might be overlooking? Also, i can stack minions, but the towers just do not seem to work.

[@sammy6002]

I didn't have to be in windowed for it to work, test it in windowed though to be safe. The other thing is go to the bottom right of your desktop open up the little arrow and see if there's an AHK script running. If it still doesn't work I'm not entirely sure, you can always add me on steam if not (sammylolx, cat picture)

[@Gravemans]

Thanks. I´ll try it again when i wake up, if it still does not work, i´ll add you, if it does, i´ll add you too and thank you once again.

[@TikOLoRd]

Thank you!

[@herbapou]

Is there a way to stack diffferent towers on the same stack? cant make it work and for some reasons I see other people do it

[@ffhighwind]

Did you watch the video? I do it in the video. Place a tower then sell it and place a different type of tower on top of it. Repeat this for as many tower types as you want. Then use the macro to stack unlimited of each type.

[@PrideOfTh3Lion]

Thanks. U rock man.

[@krazygrizzly2455]

got it working

[@chingischanas2351]

For some reason the stacking only works for 0 and 9 towers for all classes. Any idea why?

[@ffhighwind]

Are your building keys set up differently? If you changed your hotkeys then you will need to change the macros. My macros are only set up for buttons 0-9.

[@jansmrz263]

Is it still working? Cant figure out how to stack them, I´m pressing the tower key and space but its not working

[@ffhighwind]

There's no reason for it to have stopped working. You have to press them at EXACTLY the same time, though. The only foreseeable nerfs are EV's Proton Blast and Lightning Towers. Here's where I would look for questions like this. forums.dungeondefenders.com/forums/forum/12-community-development/ (Update 4 & 5 links)

[@krazygrizzly2455]

for some reason the autohotkey wont show as a green box with a h in it is just the ahk 1.3 setup i need help

[@ffhighwind]

I need a little more information. Did you install autohotkey from the links? I'll assume yes. Do you know how to change file extensions? What happens when you double click on the script? If it opens text pad then you aren't changing the file extension.

[@snillursnillson1971]

does not work

[@staleeh]

how do i add the script to oaitohot key? do copy all you wrote?

[@ffhighwind]

Save it to text file and then change the extension to "ahk." You can also create a new script using the SCiTE editor that comes with autohotkey and save the script. Then double click or run the file. It should show up on the bottom right quick launch bar as a green box with a white H.

[@staleeh]

@@ffhighwind Thank you :)

[@CaptainTeemoOnDuty_]

i still don't get how you are supposed to use the macro can't get it to work

[@CaptainTeemoOnDuty_]

nevermind got it to work but don't understand how the macro works

[@ffhighwind]

There is a fullscreen version and a non-fullscreen version. (1) install autohotkey (2) make a TXT file and copy the pastebin text into it (3) change the file extension to .ahk (4) double click the file (5) run the game (6) build tower 1 (7) sell the tower (8) press CTRL+1 to stack

[@ffhighwind]

If you need help changing a file extension to AHK see this kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIjTeZyegZJ3opY

[@CaptainTeemoOnDuty_]

@@ffhighwind did everything but the script doesn't work in game :/

[@ffhighwind]

@@CaptainTeemoOnDuty_ have you tried not playing in fullscreen from the start of the game? There's a small possibility that they patched it. I will test later.

[@maddogpaddy1]

Thx

[@coldspy762]

links are dead can you send your own scrip please ?

[@ffhighwind]

None of the links are dead. Not sure what you're talking about. AHK Macro (Windowed mode only): pastebin.com/Nq6MTv90 AHK Macro (Fullscreen/Windowed mode as Administrator): pastebin.com/27h8eTCw AutoHotkey: autohotkey.com/

[@dusanstefanco5796]

i am doing it exactly like you show and say without macro but it still didnt work and i dont know what to to with that macro and how to start it cuz i am lame with PC :D

[@ffhighwind]

1. Be the host of the game 2. Place a building (for example using key 6) 3. Sell that building 4. Press 6 + spacebar *simultaneously*. 5. Repeat step 4 as many times as you want. NOTE: If you mess up then you might need to do step 1-3 again. This isn't always the case, but it sometimes is. If you still can't get this to work I recommend using the macro approach. If you refuse to use the macro then you could use MSI Afterburner or some tool limit the FPS of the game to around 5 FPS. I don't recommend doing this long term as it can crash the game and isn't going to work well with a timer.

[@artist4981]

rly sucks that window mode is needed :\

[@ffhighwind]

It doesn't actually need to be windowed mode, but fullscreen needs administrator access. Try this script instead. pastebin.com/27h8eTCw

[@Jockstand]

I jump with space bar

[@ffhighwind]

Pretty sure that's the default, and that's fine. It should still work.

[@corynickerson4658]

Isnt possible without macro.

[@ffhighwind]

It's possible but it's not easy.

[@tribert1]

So basically this is impossible without AHK, cool.

[@ffhighwind]

Given that I was able to stack towers without AHK about 50% of the time, it's basically impossible to stack more than 2-3 towers without AHK. However, you don't need to stack towers to beat any level, even when soloing Nightmare HC. You can place 6 towers on a 4DU buff beam, which is good enough.

[@helenGD]

You're too quick. I didn't understand anything from your video. Sorry... Try to be more understanding and explain it better for us!

[@ffhighwind]

It's simple, but it can be difficult to do because you need to be fast. 1. Be the host of the game. 2. Build a tower (0-9 key) and click. 3. Press the same tower key (0-9 key) and spacebar simultaneously. Or do it the easier way kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqvNooipfrKLqMk

[@bsyyy2006]

you dont explain that well btw
