Help with script - hold down keys

[syber]

Hi,

I am trying to create a script to hold down the 'D' key for 4 seconds before release and then holding down the 'A' key for another 4 seconds before release. This will start when i press F1 and will keep looping until i press F1 again (or another key) to stop it.

I am really a newbie at this, but tried the script below. Can someone please help me to edit this please??? Thanks so much.

$F1::

Loop

{Send("{D down}")

Sleep(4000)

Send("{D up}")

Send("{A down}")

Sleep(4000)

Send("{A up}")

}

return

So what happens, when you run it?

What does the output from SciTE say?

Pretty sure that AutoIt3 will throw some errors for this none AutoIt3 script.

Hi syber,

Welcome to the forums !!

Take a couple moments to peruse the help-file and Wiki to get a general idea of AutoIt's syntax, then take a look at these pages:

Hotkeys

Looping

Revisit and modify your script, and post back if your still stuck

Good luck
