Question - Text Log --> Auto Hotkey

[Tryndamere]

Hi guys,

How at risk would I be to write a script like this? Basically it would read the chat log for X word and basically use auto hotkey to input a simple script, such as a simple heal bot (/target character, then input the 1 hotkey which would be /cast X spell gem.) Another example would be /assist main /autofire or /pet attack.

Thoughts?

Basically seems not at any risk from a technical perspective as it's all being done locally. Real-time reading of the chat logs is similar to what GINA or Gamparse does, just instead of playing a sound or parsing the dps into a graph, you're sending a keypress to the client using autohotkey. The at risk part would be if you're not at the keyboard to respond to a tell if a GM questions you. But from a server-side perspective, the server will just see a client receiving a keypress as if from a keyboard.
