Arduino Help For game data???

[Jordessey]

i know this isnt really programming... but does anybody know of a way or a library set that will allow me to get an arduino to get game data from overwatch. im trying to build a RGB LED controller that will respond to in game mechanics like hero or class choice, whether damage is being given or taken, and maybe if when i play mercy (i main support in comp) if im damage boost/heal

well first of all this is indeed programming. I personally do not play overwatch but I've seen something similar to this in League of Legends. In the base code of League of Legends there was already a function to detect when your Champion takes damage, and the person wrote a program that would detect when that function was being run and they had a rasberry pi flash red LEDs around their computer and play a little like "chk" sound. If you can figure it out that would be amazing and will probably be a fun adventure for you.

i am thinking about using razer synapse. as they already have an app SDK that will do that, then the arduino code for it is not quite as complex and it makes more sense as doing this on an arduino nano with limited EEPROM

Wow, I will also like to say this was 6 years ago or so. seems like it would be a lot easier now. I wish you good luck, I personally don't know razer synapse as I have never used their products.

neither... all my stuff is logitech. but logitech doesnt like it when other programs grabs its data

I don't think it's possible to achieve this. To get any kind of information about current in game stats would require you to "hook" in to the exe. Which is basically impossible these days because of anti cheat technology. And if you do manage to hook in to it, or do a dll injection, or whatever. It will be treated as a virus by the antivirus software. As for razer synapse game developers has to explicitly support it. Or at least intentionally expose some of the game statistics to the outside world so that someone like razer could grab it.
