Using AutoHotkey to create a script that causes Dwarves to kick their stubby legs into high gear at all times!

Why do I need to make a script to sprint?

I can press shift!Dwarves don’t always know whats good for them. For example, they don’t always sprint everywhere. I guess some might think that’s for dirty leafeating elves, but it does save your ♥ from Glyphids.

In DRG there is no penalty for sprinting. You don’t have endurance, and you don’t lose accuracy while sprinting because… you can’t sprint while performing any other action. So I don’t see why there is any reason for it to not be on by default. I find it annoying to constantly press shift after attacking, or shooting, or whatever else I just did. So I made a script to do it for me!

For that, you will need AutoHotkey (or to download in .exe of the script, which I do not know how to post here).

What is AutoHotkey?

AutoHotkey (AHK) is a nifty program that lets you remap keys on your computer, create, macros, and do a whole lot more through scripts. They can be fairly easy to write, even for non-programmers, and there’s plenty of resources online on how to use it.

Technically, you don’t need AutoHotkey to run an .exe created by it, but I don’t know how to upload my .exe so you will have to compile my script yourself to make one.

I have created useful scripts for quite a few games, usually where I found controls to be clunky or redundant.
