Simple Script Request / On Hotkey

[JStone]

So first let me tell you, I am by no means a scripter. I do find it scripting tools a handy tool to do repetitive work, and use it for such.

I'm trying to make a very simple script, stand-alone, to upon pressing a hotkey it holds down the shift button, and upon another hotkey, releases it. I cannot use capslock.

Here's what I have so far:

WinWaitActive( "Darkfall Online" )

while 1

HotKeySet("^{F5}", "Shift")
HotKeySet("^{F6}", "NoShift")

Func Shift()
 Send("{SHIFTDOWN}")
EndFunc

Func NoShift()
 Send("{SHIFTUP}")
EndFunc

wend

It doesn't necessarily have to wait until the active window is "Darkfall Online", I simply added that line in efforts to get the script to run. It hasn't, and understandably so. I'm an utter newb, and at your attention; please help!

HotKeySet("^{F5}", "Shift")
HotKeySet("^{F6}", "NoShift")

WinWaitActive( "Darkfall Online" )
Sleep(86400000)

Func Shift()
 Send("{SHIFTDOWN}")
EndFunc

Func NoShift()
 Send("{SHIFTUP}")
EndFunc

Your mistake is placing the hotkeyset within a while loop. What happens is that hotkeyset is being called over and over again within the loop. That's why it's not working.

Awesome, I think I was unclear, because although it worked it wasn't as I need.

Basically, I need this script to wait in the background until I hit the hotkey, which then holds the shift key, until I hit the second hotkey and stop and reset the script for the next time.

Thank's to all help in advance!

Actually it doesnt necessarily need to have 2 hotkeys, simply be able to repeat/loop. I can't seem to figure that one out.

Waittttt....

Don't use Sleep(86400000) lol

use

While 1

Sleep(50)

WEnd

[JStone]

HotKeySet("{F5}", "Shift")
HotKeySet("{F6}", "NoShift")

WinWaitActive( "Darkfall Online" )
While 1
Sleep(50)
WEnd

Func Shift()
 Send("{SHIFTDOWN}")
EndFunc

Func NoShift()
 Send("{SHIFTUP}")
EndFunc

Still doesn't repeat!

[Info]

HotKeySet("{F5}", "Shift")
HotKeySet("{F6}", "NoShift")

WinWaitActive( "Darkfall Online" )
While 1
Sleep(50)
WEnd

Func Shift()
 Send("{SHIFTDOWN}")
EndFunc

Func NoShift()
 Send("{SHIFTUP}")
EndFunc

Still doesn't repeat!

There's nothing wrong with that script.
