I had working accident a while ago where my bands got injured. Since that accident i'm not able to move my fingers fast enough to stream properly, i did a little bit of research and found a autohotkey script that would allow me to play with 3 finger instead of 2. Is such script allowed to use or not?

Don't quote me on this, but I don't think 3rd party scripts are rankable. You should just try to ease your self into it, don't force yourself to play.

Guess i have to play offline then, sadly im not able to stream 4* maps with 2 keys. But i think i heared something that this script is allowed, i just dont find anything atm that approves it. Let's just wait and see what a supporter gonna say about it. I just hope that it is allowed so im still able to achieve some nice scores.
A supporter doesn't have the say in the rules.. And i doubt that would be allowed. That would make you gain an advantage.
If it does anything for you, it's not allowed. And they way you are wording it makes it seem like it's basically cheating.
Also, if you are talking about a script that changes Keyboard keys to mouse keys, that doesn't really even work either. K1 and K2 are technically the same inputs as M1 and M2 and you can still only use 2. So using more than 2 keys doesn't even really work.
Remember this for a quick answer: Does it take the human element out of the game? It's not allowed.
Do you have to ask if it's cheating? If so, it probably is, and don't do it.

Well it wont take out the human element, i was wondering, because in the rules its no macros allowed.
As far i understand a macro is a hotkey for a pattern, like: if key pressed, press 30x xy with 140ms delay or something like that.
And a Script is giving me a hotkey for an action, like: if key1 pressed, press key2.
And i found the thread i was talking about where its saying that this kind of script is allowed https://www.reddit.com/r/osugame/comments/4hvphc/four_finger_play_not_considered_cheating/

It is basically gaining an advantage via external software. If its not a conventional K1+K2+M1+M2 this isn't playing fair.

Thanks for the reply.

This reddit post was already linked in this thread and it has also already been mentioned that it won't work well.hetisnietgay wrote:

So you can definitely bind another keyboard key to M1 and play/stream with 3 fingers, but it won't work very well.
