Random + KeyDown

[riceking]

$Random = Random(25, 100, 1)
Send("{Right down}")
Sleep($Random)
Send("{Right up}")

It only sends right once then stops. Help please.

riceking,

It only sends right once then stops

Which is exactly what I would expect it to do.

You are asking AutoIt to press the key, wait for 25 to 100 milliseconds, and then release the key. Typical typematic delays are of the order of 200-500 ms, so there is little chance of that intervening to pump out multiple ketstrokes. You asked for one keystroke, and one keystroke you got.

Help please

To do what? Please try and formulate sensible questions or we cannot offer any advice.

O, I'm sorry, then shall I refrase?

How do I hold down a key and have it send the key value for a certain time without send("{right}") and looping it. Like the average computer when you hold the key it would send more then one. Holding it down is different then spamming the key, as spamming the key is has a different purpose, I just want to have it held down and send continuous keys for a random time then stop sending. I hope I made sense >.<

Edit:

So should I increase the range for random?

riceking,

I now understand what you want, although I do not understand why you want it!

As I mentioned above, you need to keep the key held down long enough to get the typematic repeats started. As the shortest typematic delay is usually about 200ms (any lower and you tend to get "key bounce" problems) I would suggest changing your Sleep statement to read:

Sleep(200 + $Random)

Now you stand a fair chance of getting the typematic repeats triggering and thus producing a stream of keystrokes until you release the key.

Would you mind explaining why you want to do this?

Just a view count script on my photobucket almost like youtube but different. If you double right arrow it moves to another picture, if you hold it scrolls through your own album = more hits/views

Edit:

I've tested it, only sends 1 right the stops. I've tried extending the sleep time but it still doesn't work

Do multiple Send()'s instead.

[riceking]

I've said multiple sends don't function as a send and hold down.

I doubt this will work.

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_Quit")

sleep(5000) ; 5 seconds to get ready to go

While 1
    Send("{Right down}")
WEnd

Func _Quit()
    Send("{Right up}")
    Exit
EndFunc

Photobucket is web based. You would be better served learning IE.au3 and make a script that looks for what you need.
