Does RtC Keyboard API cause desyncs in multiplayer?

RtC doesn't work with any patch above 1.24e. It's replacement is supposed to be SharpCraft, a managed replacement for Reinventing the Craft which also doesn't work right now iirc.

Apart from that, I'm not sure how mouse API is implemented. But thinking about it logically, the coordinates returned will differ on each machine, so you should only use them in local blocks.
Or sync the values before accessing them in a non-local environment.

If keyboard is event based, it could work fine.
Why don't you test it?

I guess i will test when I return home. BTW, as of DotA Allstars 6.88v3 by dracol1ch, there is a feature which allows you to know various things (like tower range) when you hold alt, i guess that might be SharpCraft?
Correct me if I am wrong. I will update this when I test it (or anybody else does) and see if it works.
