For anyone deeply grieving over double-tap dodge mechanic

Grab AutoHotkey[autohotkey.com] from here and install it. Use latest v1.xx version, not v2.
Grab the script here[www.dropbox.com] and save it somewhere.
If needed, open the script in any text editor (Notepad, etc), and adjust its keys to your own preferences. All keys are listed in the very beginning of the script.
In the game, go to System -> Controls -> Customize Keyboard and rebind Fire 2 from Left Shift to the button used by the script (Tab by default).
To launch the script, just double-click on the file you've downloaded. AutoHotkey icon for that script should appear in your tray.

More features

Drone attack is toggleable instead of hold-to-fire, Tab by default.
Air dash can be quickly performed with Z (default).
Added ability to quickly use last selected item, such as Recoveries, by pressing C.
All these buttons can be changed by editing the script constants. For example, to change fire button to something else than Tab, open the script, find
fireButton := "Tab"
and change "Tab" to other button.

Notes

Script might screw with typing inside Steam overlay. Alt+Tab to a separate Steam window if that happens (not a big deal since fullscreen is broken anyway lmao).

Is 2024 and I can't believe this is still a fcking problem, I bought the game and had to use google to find a solution, why is dodge not on a button ON A KEYBOARD? THAT HAS A MILLION BUTTONS

As far as I remember, that's indeed how the game be. You can try it without the script and see if this behaviour remains.

Err, on second thought, is this just part of how a dodge works? Sorry if that was a stupid comment, I just got this game lmao

This basically saved me, thanks - the only issue I'm having is that I'm not currently running, after executing a dodge, I start running. This is annoying because changing directions while running is a lot slower than while not running, and I don't want to start running in the middle of a fight. I'm not sure why this is happening, because as far as I can tell the script is never pressing the "R" key and neither am I during the fight.

1.downloaded the script,put it on my desktop
2.double click and the H icon is in my tray
3.open nier automata

And after that the script is gone.

hope i get to know where i did wrong, thanks for the help

You can put it anywhere. Be sure that you downloaded the latest AutoHotkey version 1, not 2. And check your in-game binds too.

Dawn 19 May, 2022 @ 3:19am

thanks, and i got another question , do i put the file into the nier automata game files? Because when i run the script, its still no working

Mad Cat Lad [author] 19 May, 2022 @ 3:03am

Not sure, I just tested it and I can download the file even without logging in. Try getting a copy from here: https://a.uguu.se/vRfQrgYR.ahk
