Need a simple program

[bobby177]

Hello, I need someone to make a simple script for me, shouldnt take long.

Could you make a script that when Q is pressed, autoit "holds" enter down for 2 seconds and then releases it?

EDIT---- Sorry for begging for a program, scroll down to my post to see what i have so far

In general.. it is bad manners to ask for scripts to be made for you. Instead, you get much better results if you show what you have tried on your own and we can help correct your mistakes.

Look into _Ispressed, Send(), TimerInit(), TimerDiff(), etc, in the help file.

As you can probably tell, I am horrible with autoit so i am stuck on something very simple. So far I have

Send("{a down}")
Sleep(2000)
Send("{a up}")

Now how would I make it so if Q is pressed then the script would run?

Look at HotKeySet in the help file:

HotKeySet( "q", "runThis" )

While 1
     Sleep(100)  ;wait for the user to press 'q'
WEnd

Func runThis()
      ;put ur script here
EndFunc

EDIT: left code piece

Ok so now i have

HotKeySet( "{f1}", "runThis" )

While 1
     Sleep(100) ;wait for the user to press 'q'
WEnd

Func runThis()
      Send("{a down}")
Sleep(4000)
Send("{a up}")
EndFunc

It doesn't seem like it is "holding" A down, is there a way to do that?

[Valuater]

Global $Paused


HotKeySet( "{f1}", "runThis" )
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")

While 1
     Sleep(100);wait for the user to press 'q'
WEnd

Func runThis()
    $Paused = NOT $Paused
    While $Paused
        sleep(10)
        Send("a")
        ToolTip('Script is "Running"',0,0)
    WEnd
    ToolTip("")
EndFunc

Func Terminate()
    Exit 0
EndFunc

Thanks but I need it to hold A for a set amount of time... say 2 seconds

can anyone help?

[SmOke_N]

can anyone help?

Look in the help file under SendKeyDownDelay.

Look in the help file under SendKeyDownDelay.

Sorry, where is the help file?

[SmOke_N]

Sorry, where is the help file?

Run this script:

Run(@ProgramFilesDir & '\AutoIt3\AutoIt3Help.exe')

[bobby177]

Run this script:

Run(@ProgramFilesDir & '\AutoIt3\AutoIt3Help.exe')

What is the syntax of that command?

SendKeyDownDelay("A",2000) is what i tried and it wont work

put this at the top of your code

Opt("SendKeyDownDelay", 2000) ;1 millisecond (default)

edit

also look at the bottom of the page for other syntax

Description:

Alters the length of time a key is held down before released during a keystroke. For applications that take a while to register keypresses (and many games) you may need to raise this value from the default.

Time in milliseconds to pause (default=5).

Syntax:

Opt("SendKeyDownDelay", 1) ;1 millisecond

Both are straight from the helpfile

[bobby177]

Ohhh i never saw the syntax table thing below

Now I have

Opt("SendKeyDownDelay", 5);1 millisecond (default)
Global $Paused


HotKeySet( "{q}", "runThis" )
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")

While 1
     Sleep(100);wait for the user to press 'q'
WEnd


Func runThis()
    $Paused = NOT $Paused
    While $Paused
        sleep(10)
        Send("a")
        ToolTip('Script is "Running"',0,0)
    WEnd
    ToolTip("")
EndFunc

Func Terminate()
    Exit 0
EndFunc

But it still isnt doing what I need it to do, Have me push a key (Q) and then have the script "hold" down a key (A) for a set amount of time (2000)

Because your damn sendkeydowndelay is only for 5 miliseconds. Look at what other people have said in your thread (nitekram).

Opt("SendKeyDownDelay", 2000)

Try:

Opt("SendKeyDownDelay", 2000);1 millisecond (default)
HotKeySet( "{q}", "runThis" )
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")

While 1
     Sleep(100);wait for the user to press 'q'
WEnd

Func runThis()
    Send("a")
EndFunc
Func Terminate()
    Exit
EndFunc

OK I tried that script, but I hit "Q" and it waits 2 seconds, and then sends A, not "hold" A down, which is what I need it to do

Is this hard to do or am I not being descriptive enough?

Is this the affect your looking for?

_MySend('a', 2000, 0)

Func _MySend($sCharacters, $iRepeatTime, $iSendDelay = 5)
    $OptSKD = Opt('SendKeyDelay', $iSendDelay)
    Local $iSendTimer = TimerInit()
    While TimerDiff($iSendTimer) <= $iRepeatTime
        Send($sCharacters)
        Sleep(10)
    WEnd
    Opt('SendKeyDelay', $OptSKD)
EndFunc

I don't understand you. Maybe you want to script stay in backgrouding, and when you press 'q', script send enter for 2 secs?

P.S. My english is very bad because i'm from Croatia...
