Well I can't get the controlsend to work for some reason... well I don't think I'll be able to get it to work unless it is the window that is in focus. If anyone has any other ideas feel free to respond though. This is my code now... #cs ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- AutoIt Version: 3.3.0.0 Script Version: 2.0 Author: Justin Script Function: Dual Orb 2 (SNES) Auto Fighter.

I left the controlID blank because I have no idea what it is.... After reading about it here, I found out you can use AutoIt Window Info Tool to find the information on controlID.. the results were: I'm assuming since everything was blank, that this means it will not be possible to use the control send function... or is there another way to find this information?

Thanks for your replies! Well I tried using the WinActive command, this does make the macro only work in the Snes window, but it doesn't make the macro to continue running in the snes window when I change windows. (but it is good that it will not mess anything else up, kind of pauses the macro untill i go back to the snes) I then tried to add the ControlSend instead of the Send command... for some reason when I did this nothing happend what so ever. The macro no longer runs (although the start and stop functions still work, the ControlSend appears to just not work). Perhaps I am confused on how I should be entering the code? Here is the edited code. And yes the WinActive code is still in there, although it should probally be removed in order for the ControlSend to possibly work when the Snes is not the main window, but it wasn't working even when it is the main window. HotkeySet ("{END}", "Stop") HotkeySet ("{HOME}", "Start") Func Start () While True IF WinActive ("ZSNESWIN") Then ControlSend("ZSNESWIN", "", "", "{LEFT}");Presses the Left key 1 time ControlSend("ZSNESWIN", "", "", "{RIGHT}");Presses the Right key 1 time ControlSend("ZSNESWIN", "", "", "{LEFT}");Presses the Left key 1 time ControlSend("ZSNESWIN", "", "", "{RIGHT}");Presses the Right key 1 time ControlSend("ZSNESWIN", "", "", "{UP down}");Holds the Up key down ControlSend("ZSNESWIN", "", "", "{x}");Presses the x key 1 time ControlSend("ZSNESWIN", "", "", "{UP up}");Releases the Up key EndIf WEnd EndFunc While (1) Sleep (1) WEnd Func Stop () Exit 0 EndFunc

I have created a simple macro to use for fun... this macro is used for the SNES game Dual Orb 2 on ZSNES9x Emulator... The macro basically will walk left and right untill it enters a random battle then holds up and presses X to select auto fight in the battle menu. I was wondering if it is possible to somehow make the macro work in the background, so that I could search the internet or do other things while the macro is running. Currently the macro will continue to run wether or not the Snes window is the active window or not, but it will run on whatever is the active window instead of staying in the window I want (the snes window). Here is my script incase it will be helpful. HotkeySet ("{END}", "Stop") HotkeySet ("{HOME}", "Start") Func Start () While True Send("{LEFT 5}");Presses the Left key 5 times Send("{RIGHT 5}");Presses the Right key 5 times Send("{LEFT 5}");Presses the Left key 5 times Send("{RIGHT 5}");Presses the Right key 5 times Send("{UP down}");Holds the Up key down Send("{x}");Presses the x key 1 time Send("{UP up}");Releases the Up key WEnd EndFunc While (1) Sleep (1) WEnd Func Stop () Exit 0 EndFunc I searched on google and looked around the forum but was unable to find an answer, if it has already been answered please point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance for your responces.
