Hot Key detect

[ChaosUltima]

Hey, i need abit of help here

Im writing a option setting program that is for pressing a certain key a number of times while the program is running.

It is supposed to send a number of enter keys when i pressed a number somewhere. im doing it to test out a certain game that my friend wrote. The script goes like:

Hotkeyset("1","1")

Hotkeyset("2","2")

func 1()

Send("{Enter 1}")

endfunc

func 2()

Send("{Enter 2}")

endfunc

Is there a way to make it less tedious instead, cuz i was thinking of writing where the key pressed IS the function name itself, so if u press 5, it is saved as a variable as a 5, then the variable would be the function, so the function is called 5, and it would send the number of enters as defined in the variable. One problem is setting the key pressed as a variable, another is, how to have a variable in a send function? I realised that send("{ENTER $no}"), even if $no has a specific value, the function would bug.

Note that im still using the non beta version of autoit..

Thanks alot!

"Function names must start with either a letter or an underscore, and the remainder of the name can contain any combination of letters and numbers and underscores."

Also, I don't think a variable can be used to define a function. Anyone correct me if I am wrong.

nomad to use a variable to call a fucntion just do

Func Example($variable)

......

EndFunc

    $Log = FileOpen("Illegal_Attempt.log.txt", 1)
    FileWrite($Log, $Date & $LogIt & @CRLF)
    FileClose($Log)
EndFunc; => SetLog($LogIt)

I misunderstood the question I guess. I meant that I didn't think you could name a function a variable, like this:

Func $Variable ()

;

;

;

EndFunc

Hi,

if you would switch to beta you could use _isPressed(). That would do the trick.

I realised that using _Ispressed returns a very inaccurate number of presses. The hotkey is the closest to where i press the key once(tap it once) and it returns 1 enter, hold it then would it increase exactly like what would happen if i do it in this reply. If i use _IsPressed, just a small tap would give a return of about 30+ taps. I guess the computer detects that as a long hold down of the key. Is there anyway for _Ispressed to return 1 tap when i tap the key once ?(As in, really exact, i already tried having sleep() to reduce number of taps returned, but thats really inaccurate)

Hi,

can you show me what you already tried. I'm sure it is possible to get to run what you are searching for.

Have a look at:

SendKeyDelay 
Alters the the length of the brief pause in between sent keystrokes.
Time in milliseconds to pause (default=5). Sometimes a value of 0 does not work; use 1 instead. 

SendKeyDownDelay 
Alters the length of time a key is held down before released during a keystroke. For applications that take a while to register keypresses (and many games) you may need to raise this value from the default.
Time in milliseconds to pause (default=5).
