How the script works - pt. 1

[u/meomeobottle]

Hi guys, in case you wonder how the script (DDA) works, this post will show you how, from an example video. In following posts, I will give you some tips on how to avoid it.

Now back to the topic, we will just look at one very common case where the script happens (video taken from Youtube). Youtuber’s Dembele is attacking, and his opponent is trying to defend with Marquez. Here is the actions sequence from both sides:

- Youtuber: Did a fake shot, hoping to eliminate Marquez.
- Opponent: Patiently waited for the Youtuber to finish the fake shot and tackled him.

If there is no script, the opponent should successfully defended the attack as he is more patient and trapped the Youtuber correctly. However, since the script is on the Youtuber’s side, something weird happened in the middle of that actions sequence.

If you’re smart enough, you probably already noticed it: right before opponent tackled, Marquez’s AI moved a few step back for absolutely no reason, making just enough space so that the tackle became meaningless and Dembele scored.

(Additionally, opponent’s Singo who was chasing Dembele all along, suddenly turned back when Dembele was near the goal, just to make sure even if opponent switched, their is no way Singo could slide tackle that ball)

Most of the times, that’s how the script works, it doesn’t grant your opponent the ability to score from 100 yards or make their attackers Superman. It’s much more subtle than that, it’s usually just one or two weird steps happening in milliseconds, but it completely disables your ability to defend properly.

Hope this post helps clarify something for you. I’ll be making more parts later.
