When working on maps for unreal I spend a lot of time doing the same thing over and over. Like exporting 46 meshes to separate files and then importing them only to have to manually uncheck 3 boxes and set 2 fields to the same 2 numbers on every single mesh.

Is there any program that will record mouse clicks and do this automatically for me or something?

like macro's?

I believe there is something. I'm sure there is.

Yeah a macro of some kind that would be able to click in a bunch of different places but with timed intervals so it doesn't go faster than the program I'm working in.

Autohotkey can handle that, I'm sure. You'll need to make a little script for it yourself though, or modify the example they give on that page.

E: in fact, you can just record yourself doing it once with the AutoScriptWriter and it should make the script for you.

Works perfectly. I'm not sure if it will be able to record me making a light map UV channel but it works for mesh exporting and it's so nice not to have to go through all the menus manually.
