Holding down space

[byerly]

I'm trying to make a script that will hold down the space bar for about 10 seconds. while It is being held down, the script will need to press other buttons too. I tried

Send( "{{SPACE} down}" )

and

Opt("SendKeyDownDelay", 10000)
send("{SPACE"}
Opt("SendKeyDownDelay", 1)

but neither worked. Please help me figure this out.

try this *untested

Send("{SPACE DOWN}")
$start = TimerInit()
While TimerDiff($start) < 10000
sleep(100)
WEnd
Send("{SPACE UP}")

Thanks, that worked. I actually just used the Send("{SPACE DOWN}")/Send("{SPACE UP") part, the rest of the program set up the timing already.
