[Solved] Games - Unwanted code interaction.

[IanN1990]

I Have cut this code out of my main script. It seams i have a small problem.

Many months ago, i replaced my logitch drivers with my own autoit functions (as i use autoit wherever i can now). The code below is ment to do 4 things. Enable the side buttons to control volume, pause/play music, next/prev track and to that effect it all works very well but i have noticed a few times "I think during Dayz (Arma 2) and League of Legends (LoL) the game seams to stop my script from working. Meaning i cant control my volume or music from mouse.

Does anyone know why this is happening ?

**NirCmd.exe is a windows command ulity. http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html

I dont belive there is a fault in the code, as that works 99.9% of the time for all other windows. I belive the game is preventing my hook from working but wanted to get others views.

Some games block autoit, because people use it for game bots and cheating, but I'm sure you know that.

Good luck, but I'll be surprised if someone helps you with a way to hide autoit from game protection.

[IanN1990]

I didn't infact, such a thought didnt cross my mind. Though i reading what you said i found it weird that LoL would block autoit but it did give me the answer.

To play LoL on Windows 7, the game has to be run as "Admin". I run my script has normal, and i remember from the past autoit cant interaction with things that are "admin" unless autoit is admin.

So Adding #RequireAdmin Solves the problem.
