have you acctually read anything to deal with send in the help file?

Single keys can also be repeated, e.g.

Send("{DEL 4}") ;Presses the DEL key 4 times

Send("{S 30}") ;Sends 30 'S' characters

Send("+{TAB 4}) ;Presses SHIFT+TAB 4 times

To hold a key down (generally only useful for games)

Send("{a down}") ;Holds the A key down

Send("{a up}") ;Releases the A key

To set the state of the capslock, numlock and scrolllock keys

Send("{NumLock on}") ;Turns the NumLock key on

Send("{CapsLock off}") ;Turns the CapsLock key off

Send("{ScrollLock toggle}") ;Toggles the state of ScrollLock

If you with to use a variable for the count, try

$n = 4

Send("+{TAB " & $n & "}")

If you wish to send the ASCII value A four times, then try

$x = Chr(65)

Send("{" & $x & " 4}")

to hold it down it would be

Send("{up down}")
Send("{down down}")
Send("{left down}")
Send("{right down}")

You did have the game window selected yes? Send posts keys posts messages to the active window.

[Shanerox]

????????????? Yea, i have the window selected

Maybe post the script... If the mentioning the game will really get you banned, then just change the strings for window activations and such.

Nah... that's too easy... I'd rather chase the tail!

well, have you ever tried the autoitwindowinfo?

maybe it shows you some controls you can use

if you wanna use send than you should do

send({up down})
sleep (100)
send({up up})

don't know if this works for sure, but its worth trying
