Shift-key modifier

[Keegar]

Hello,

I am using a macro which activates by pressing 'e'. Well, that's what I want it to do.

The thing is that I will sometimes (like 50/50) also press shift while I press e, so I would need the macro to activate on both 'e' and 'E' (or both on 'e' and 'shift+e').

The current line is:

global $rayCycle = "e"

which works for just e, obviously.

I know autohotkey has a '~' prefix that makes it so it doesn't matter if you press any other button than the one followed by it, is there something similar in AutoIt?

Anyone who can help me out here?

Thank you in advance!

i dont think that autoit has that capability, but i could be wrong.

are you using hotkeyset?

because you could just set 2 different hotkeys to the same function

+ = shift

^ = ctrl

! = alt

# = win key

hotkeyset('e', '_SomeFunction')

hotkeyset('+{e}', '_SomeFunction')

thanks for your reply legoman1.

The problem is that the macro works with a counter (everytime I press e it increases the counter with 1) so would that not mean I get 2 counters working seperately? (thus they have different values)

And also I have no idea how to implement it properly. I've read the help file but could not quite figure it out..

but they'd be calling the very same function, right? The best way to check on this is to test it in a small program, and then if it doesn't work, post your code.

And also I have no idea how to implement it properly. I've read the help file but could not quite figure it out..

What have you tried so far?

expandcollapse popup

Global $wTitle = "Darkfall Online";
WinWaitActive($wTitle)
global $rayCycle = "E"
HotKeySet($rayCycle, "rayCycle")
global $cycle = 0
global $ray1 = "{Home}"
global $ray2 = "{;}"
global $ray3 = "{'}"
global $ray4 = "{,}"
global $ray5 = "{.}"
global $ray6 = "{/}"

Sleep(3000)

While 1
    sleep(100)
   WEnd

Func rayCycle();
    if $cycle > 5 Then
        $cycle = 0
    endif
    if $cycle == 0 Then
        send("{SHIFTDOWN}")
        send($ray1)
        send("{SHIFTDOWN}")
    endif
    if $cycle == 1 Then
        send("{SHIFTDOWN}")
        send($ray2)
        send("{SHIFTDOWN}")
    endif
    if $cycle == 2 Then
        send("{SHIFTDOWN}")
        send($ray3)
        send("{SHIFTDOWN}")
    endif
    if $cycle == 3 Then
        send("{SHIFTDOWN}")
        send($ray4)
        send("{SHIFTDOWN}")
    endif
    if $cycle == 4 Then
        send("{SHIFTDOWN}")
        send($ray5)
        send("{SHIFTDOWN}")
            endif
    if $cycle == 5 Then
        send("{SHIFTDOWN}")
        send($ray6)
        send("{SHIFTDOWN}")
    endif
    $cycle = $cycle + 1
EndFunc

this is the code - I do not know how to implement your suggestion because this script uses different not the hotkeyset but global $raycycle or something..

I have tried doing

global $rayCycle = "E" or "e" (and also with e and +e)

but thats probably quite a pathetic attempt.

I've also tried:

global $rayCycle = "e"

global $rayCycle = "+e"

~rest of code

also did not work

[Keegar]

OK, it works now

Thanks for your help, turns out I double-hotkeyed on the wrong place (picky little program )

Another question that rose is if it is possible to use MouseClick (left) or MouseUp or something as a hotkey. It seems not possible but is there a workaround?

[Keegar]

sorry I could not edit - but is there a way to pause the entire macro? I can add a pause function now but it will not block my e and shift+e combination to reactivate the macro..

[Keegar]

bump - is there any way to get a working pause?

[kaotkbliss]

Yes however...

Global $wTitle = "Darkfall Online";

And This

[Keegar]

no worries! I can imagine you think its a bit if you see the game, but Darkfall Online is a game with a pretty bad UI so it is 'allowed' for people to use macros to bind spells/abilities in the game. 90% of the people playing it use them.

Thanks for your replies all, I got it set up well now
