I Cant Believe I'm Asking This But...

I can't get autoit tohold down a button *

heres my code

Send( "{a down}" )
Sleep( 5000 )
Send( "{a up}" )

Now shouldn't this hold down "a" for two seconds?

[greenmachine]

It does.

Edit - actually that should hold it down for 5 seconds...

look at SendKeyDownDelay() in the help... and use Send('a')

I'm going to predict his next question since I've seen it before:

he's going to want to know why it doesn't type repeatedly in any edit field if it's really holding the "a" down. The reason is because of the way AutoIt is set up, and because of the way different computers have different times set for repeat. In the helpfile it says you can do the {a down} and {a up} but also that it is generally useful only for games, and the reason is because AutoIt is built to not let it repeat.

Yeah... For repeating, I guess you could make your own UDF:

_SendMulti('a', 5)


Func _SendMulti($v_Send, $i_Time, $i_Delay = 0)
    Local $Timer = TimerInit()
    If $i_Delay = 0 Then
        Do
            Send($v_Send)
        Until TimerDiff($Timer) / 1000 >= $i_Time
    Else
        Do
            Send($v_Send)
            Sleep($i_Delay)
        Until TimerDiff($Timer) / 1000 >= $i_Time
    EndIf
EndFunc

Hmm.. Thanks guys, but I was trying to use it for a game and it was not working =\

[greenmachine]

What game? Does it have any sort of blocking program attached to it that attempts to prevent outside programs from interacting with it?

[BillLuvsU]

it's for maplestory, but I already bypassed nprotect
