Quick question, working on my fisrt script

[Guest tombo]

i'm trying to simulate the down arrow key in my keyboard but when my script gets to that section, it's not recognize, here is my weak script :I

Sleep (9000) ;

$craft = 1 ;

While $craft < 2 ;

Send ("{Enter}")

Sleep (1000) ;Sleeps

Send ("{Enter}")

Sleep (1000) ;Sleeps

Send ("{Enter}")

Sleep (1000) ;Sleeps

Send ("{DOWN}") ;<==== this section won't work

Sleep (1000) ;Sleeps

Send ("{Enter}")

Sleep (1000) ;Sleeps

$craft = $craft + 1

WEnd

i learned the down command from the help file.. is this right?

The code is good, but some games won't work with a straight send.

Please see the SendKeyDownDelay option of the Opt command. Some games require that the keypress be held down for longer so that it is recognized by the game.

Also, you don't need to use a 1 second sleep inbetween each keypress. Instead, see the SendKeyDelay options (also under the Opt command.) Then you can send all your keys at once. So you'll probably need to do these steps:

• Set the key delay to 1 second
• Send the keys before your down keystroke
• Set the KeyDownDelay to a bit longer to give the game time to see the keystroke
• Send the down keystroke
• Set the KeyDownDelay back to default (because the stuff after your down keystroke probably is good)
• Send the rest of your strokes

Note that this method only uses 3 sends instead of one Send command for each character.

Yes, but your game fondles the keyboard input trilaterally, bisecting the intended receptor into polar and bipolar segments.
