Successive commands with same hotkey?

[Cinnabar]

I'm assuming this is the right section to post this but I'm new to the forum so forgive me if I'm wrong. I am no programmer but have been using AutoIt for a while and have a basic grasp of it. I'm able to piece things together to do what I want(macros for gaming purposes mostly) but need some help with something a bit beyond my knowledge.

I tried to make this explanation fairly clear but it does have some gaming terms so if anyone needs clarification just ask. Essentially what I want to do is this:

1. Put a desired staff on hotbar slot 1 and spells on slots 2-10(10 is represented by 0).

2. Assign an in-game hotkey to each of those slots, i.e. Ctrl + 1 = slot 1, Ctrl + 2 = slot 2.

What I now need to do is have an autoit macro with an assigned hotkey that when pressed will do keyclicks for "Ctrl + 1" to equip the staff but will continue down the line of "Ctrl + 2," "Ctrl + 3," and so forth each time the hotkey is pressed. The result would be something like this:

- Press F1: staff equips

- Press F1: Spell 1 is selected

- Press F1: Spell 2 is seleted

- Press F1: Spell 3 is selected

and so forth...

Making the macro do the first action(equipping the staff) is easy enough but I don't know enough about writing code to make the same autoit hotkey go down a list of in-game hotkeys with successive clicks.

Thanks for any help.

Take a look at HotKeySet() and send() in the help file. There are examples.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll take a look at it.

HotKeySet() + send() + for loopincremental variable will do the trick
