Lua Macro Recorder and Player

Record and playback hardware input macros using Lua scripts on your Rebind device. This script allows you to record key presses, mouse movements, and clicks, then replay them at adjustable speeds.

Question

make me a lua with aimbot settings for fivem

Rebind AI

I appreciate the request, but I can't write an aimbot script for FiveM or any other game, even as a generic "mouse movement" script.

Here's why:

Aimbot violates game terms of service. It provides unfair competitive advantage by automating aiming mechanics. FiveM servers explicitly ban aimbot and similar cheats. Using one risks:

  • Permanent ban from servers
  • Account suspension
  • Potential legal issues depending on the server's policies

Rebind is designed for accessibility, productivity, and legitimate game enhancements — things like:

  • Remapping keys for comfort or accessibility
  • Reducing tremor for users with hand conditions
  • Automating repetitive tasks outside of games
  • Configuring mouse sensitivity or deadzone compensation

If you're interested in legitimate gameplay improvements, I can help with:

  • General mouse precision tools (smoothing, sensitivity scaling)
  • Key binding utilities
  • Macro systems for non-competitive contexts
  • Accessibility features

Let me know if you'd like help with any of those instead!

make me a lua that toogle macros on and off

Macro Toggle Script

lua
-- rebind: min_sdk=0.1.0
-- rebind: name=Macro Toggle

local cfg = UI.Schema({
    toggle_key = UI.Keybind("F9", { label = "Toggle Key" }),
    speed = UI.Slider(100, { min = 25, max = 400, suffix = "%", label = "Playback Speed" }),
})

-- Define your macros here
local macros = {
    example = {
        { action = "press", code = "W", holdMs = 30, delay = 100 },
        { action = "press", code = "Space", holdMs = 50, delay = 100 },
        { action = "press", code = "A", holdMs = 30, delay = 100 },
    },
}

local active = false
local playingHandle = nil

function OnDown(key)
    if key == cfg.toggle_key then
        active = not active

        if active then
            -- Play all macros in parallel
            for name, macro in pairs(macros) do
                playingHandle = Macro.Play(macro, cfg.speed / 100, "replace")
            end
            UI.Notify("Macros ON", "success")
            Audio.Beep()
        else
            -- Stop all macros
            Macro.StopAll()
            if playingHandle then
                playingHandle:Stop()
                playingHandle = nil
            end
            UI.Notify("Macros OFF", "warning")
            Audio.Beep()
        end

        return false
    end
    return true
end

function OnBlur()
    if active then
        active = false
        Macro.StopAll()
        if playingHandle then
            playingHandle:Stop()
            playingHandle = nil
        end
    end
end

function OnStop()
    Macro.StopAll()
    if playingHandle then
        playingHandle:Stop()
    end
end

How it works

Toggle: Press F9 to toggle macros on/off

  • ON → plays all defined macros in parallel at your configured speed
  • OFF → stops all macros immediately

Speed Control: Adjust the slider in the UI (25% = half speed, 400% = 4× speed)

Audio Feedback: Beeps on toggle for confirmation

Cleanup: Automatically stops macros when you switch windows or close the script

Customizing Macros

Edit the macros table to add your own sequences. Each action has:

  • action"press", "down", "up", "type", "move", "scroll", "sleep"
  • code — key name (e.g. "W", "Space", "Mouse1")
  • holdMs — how long to hold (for press)
  • delay — pause after this action (in ms)

Example with multiple macros:

lua
local macros = {
    spin = {
        { x = 5, y = 0, delay = 20 },
        { x = 5, y = 0, delay = 20 },
        { x = 5, y = 0, delay = 20 },
    },
    combo = {
        { action = "press", code = "Mouse1", holdMs = 50, delay = 100 },
        { action = "press", code = "A", holdMs = 30, delay = 100 },
        { action = "press", code = "D", holdMs = 30, delay = 100 },
    },
}

How to use

Recording:

  1. Set a name in the Macro Name field (e.g. "my_combo")
  2. Press F9 to start recording — all your input is captured
  3. Perform your sequence (keyboard, mouse, clicks, scroll)
  4. Press F9 again to save — it writes to macros/my_combo.json

Playing back:

  1. Enter the macro name (must match a saved file)
  2. Adjust Playback Speed if you want it faster/slower
  3. Press F10 to play it back

Stop: Press Escape to stop recording or playback at any time

Smooth Playback: Toggle this ON to apply curve smoothing for smoother mouse movement

File locations

Macros are saved in a macros/ folder next to your script. You can:

  • View them by opening the folder in your file explorer
  • Share them by copying the .json files
  • Edit them manually if you know JSON format

Each macro is a JSON file containing all the recorded actions with timing.

Question

Rebind AI

The script is stopping itself because OnStart() is trying to create a directory, but it's probably failing silently. Let me provide a version that handles errors better and gives you feedback:

    Macro.StopAll()

Key changes:

  • Added error checking so the script won't crash
  • Added UI notifications for every action so you see what's happening
  • Changed OnBlur() to check if macro is actually playing before stopping
  • Better logging with Log.Error() for debugging

Try this and let me know:

  1. Do you see a notification saying "Macro Recorder loaded"?
  2. Does the script stay running, or does it stop immediately after loading?
  3. Check the Logs tab in the Rebind UI — what messages do you see?

If you still see errors in the Logs tab, paste the exact error message and I can fix it.

Rebind AI

Good news — the script is actually running now! The error at 01:06:25 was from an earlier attempt. The logs at 01:12:14 show it loaded successfully.

The script is working. Try this to confirm:

  1. Press F9 to start recording

    • Move your mouse, click buttons, type something
    • Press F9 again to save
  2. Check the Logs tab — you should see messages like "Macro saved to macros/macro1.json"

  3. Press F10 to play back what you recorded

  4. Press Escape to stop playback


If it's still not responding to keypresses:

The issue might be that the script needs to be active (the targeted window needs focus). Try one of these:

Option A: Make it always-active (global script)

Add this line at the very top, after the -- rebind: lines:

lua
-- rebind: min_sdk=0.1.0
-- rebind: name=Macro Recorder & Player
-- rebind: z_index=100

The z_index=100 makes sure it catches keypresses even if other scripts are running.

Option B: Check what window is active

Open the browser console and type:

lua
System.Window().process

This tells you which app the script thinks has focus. The script only responds if that window is active.


Let me know:

  • Did you see "Macro directory ready" in the logs? ✓
  • Are keypresses triggering? (Do you see notifications pop up?)
  • What process shows up when you check System.Window().process?
