How to unlock the Erased fingerprints achievement

    Note: Mike Marcelais came up with the script for this, so absolute credit to him for that. It's beautiful. toast

    Basically, this is the same idea as the WP version of the same achievement except that you don't have to use Project My Screen. You still need a metric frakton of money, which is where this script comes in.

    (Slightly more detailed instructions. smile)

    I used AutoHotKey (free download at autohotkey.com). Once you install it, go to the Desktop, right click, New > AutoHotKey Script. Right click on the new file > Edit Script. Delete what's there, then copy/paste the code exactly like it's in the box:

    Mike Marcelais said:
    ^!r::
    CoordMode, Mouse, Screen
    SetMouseDelay 1
    Loop
    {
    Loop 10
    {
    MouseClick, WheelUp
    }
    GetKeyState, state, Shift, "P"
    if state = D
    break
    }
    return
    Once you've saved it, double click on the file. That should automatically run it. You'll know it's working if you try double clicking on it again and it says there's a script already running. Now switch back to Make It Rain and watch the confetti fly!

    As opposed to the macro I posted before, this one has an on/off switch. Once you've loaded the script, press Ctrl-Alt-R to start and Shift to stop. Otherwise it'll run until the FBI stops you (which you need for Guilty and Untouchable anyway). Erased Fingerprints will be a joke.

    The beauty of this is the mouse wheel. I used the free golden minute with this method (I STRONGLY advise you to wait until you have bigger bills to use your freebie) and calculated that this was getting me over 1000 swipes/second.

    Yep. That's right. 1000/second. Watch this video, which I started from the beginning of the game (and therefore had to keep clicking to bypass the tutorial):


    It runs so fast that it doesn't even register all of the swipes. Guilty came well past 10k swipes (although not too far). Erased Fingerprints (100k swipes) was within 5 minutes. My CPU fan started running like a jet engine.

    You'll still need to run this for a while (upgrading to bigger bills, obviously) to get what you need, but seriously, this makes the bucket and financial investments worthless. You're making money far too quickly.

    Enjoy! toast

    SashamorningI've used AHK for a while, but by all means you can use a different program for the script. I'm not trying to push it at all.

    VisibleRaptor5I did not use a touch device or a macro program for this. Nor did I use click and swipe with the mouse. I used the mouse wheel as fast as I could. Then (as I had my PC near my bed), I turned my mouse upside down and rolled it across my bed on its wheel a few times for about 5 minutes each and the swiping speed up and the achievement was unlocked. Had I done this from the get go, this would have been unlocked sooner. My wheel is still working.

    MCASguruThis solution still works! Read carefully and follow the instructions, and remember to 'start' the macro with Ctrl-Alt-R. Finally done with this game, thanks!

    Sashamorning has provided a fine solution for those with a PC, this is a solution intended for those playing on a touch screen tablet like myself. I have an extremely cheap Windows 8 tablet and I was able to find a way to use the macro that is detailed above but it requires that you have a PC or laptop.

    Set up the macro on your laptop and make sure it's working by using the keys CTRL + ALT + R

    You'll know you've done it correctly because the cursor will flick up and down at speed, use SHIFT to stop it at any time.

    Anyway, the next thing you want to do is download a program called Splashtop Personal - Remote Desktop on both your laptop and tablet. This gives you the ability to project your tablet screen onto your laptop, the best part is that it's totally wireless. Here's a link to download Splashtop for free - http://www.splashtop.com/downloads

    Once this is done, register through the program and create a profile. Login to both your laptop and tablet and Splashtop will do a scan for devices to connect with. Locate your tablet and then connect, this will project the screen onto your laptop.

    Finally, position the projected screen window in a way so the flicking cursor will interact with the money in a swiping motion. Now, I could never get the cursor to actually swipe the money automatically by itself but there may be a sweet spot that I couldn't locate. What you can do is by using the laptop touch mouse pad, you can run your finger up and down in the same motion as the cursor that's moving on screen. This will make the money swipe at a fast speed and even better, there seemed to be a delay between my laptop and tablet. Once I stopped swiping on the laptop, the money kept on swiping automatically on the tablet as it tried to catch up with all the swipes. I'm not sure of the exact time delay but if I were to swipe my finger for about 5 minutes, it would keep going automatically for at least a couple of minutes more.

    It still requires you do some of the work but it's 100 times easier than doing it normally as the speed it is swiped is much faster. I have no idea how long it would take to get 100,000 swipes normally but with this method it only took a couple of hours of using this method and you get plenty of breaks with the delay. I hope someone can find this useful!
