I use hold m1 to heal feels like i have much more control in who i heal and i feel its easier to switch target that way
Quoted from Fool
autoheal is aids, the end.
oh, okay, I guess it’s settled then
I use an inverted +attack script for my medigun. It heals when I don’t press mouse1, and stops healing if I press. Using this script in combination with the in-game autoheal too.

Same here since .. years. I used to use autoheal, but then I fanboyed pyyyour and he told me he preferred holding down the button :D
The differences are negligible in terms of healing/uber building difference and even practicality. I don’t see why anyone would use a completely superfluous autoheal script when there’s a function for that built into the game already.
By elimination at least half of you are just pulling numbers out of your butt so give some fucking cold hard evidence if you wanna nerd out about the inner workings of the medigun. (or just realise it doesnt matter u fucking nerds omg )

Ask skeej, he did some research ages ago
Like I said it’s still negligible difference even with proper analysis
edit: misread your response and spelling

That negligible difference can decide whether you die with 99% uber or win the match.

If you die on 99 it means you’re being a massive scrub rather than using the incorrect settings. The loss of uber percentage is mostly attributed to being disconnected from your teammates or healing buffed players, rather than the 0.05% you might lose because you aren’t using a script with autoheal and have the dexterity of jackie chan on meth.

It was actually someone else who took the time and effort to get some people on a server and do some mythbusting. If I remember correctly he went medic, with 2 soldiers in front of him self damaging constantly. He healed them while switching between the 2 targets quickly. He did this with Valve (c) Autoheal and Scripted Autoheal, and the result was that Valve autoheal resulted in a faster built uber (I think it was about 2 seconds = 5% charge?). 95% or 100% can be gamechanging in some clutch situations indeed.
@kos, @kaidus, etc: When discussions go about retardedly anal details like this, there’s always people that say “who cares, go focus on more important stuff”. Yes, there is other stuff that will generally impact the game in way more significant amounts, but that doesn’t mean that every other detail doesn’t count. It doesn’t negate the fact that these details could possibly make or break very specific scenarios.
ondkaja’s solution is awesome… I never thought of that… It gives you the technical advantages of valve autoheal, but still allows you to not heal in those rare instances where you don’t want a heal target for a sec (for instance stop flashing someone who’s capping a point, but still keeping the uber on yourself)
