Not sending a keystroke

[SweatyOgre]

What could be the possible reasons behind AutoIt not sending a keystroke? I need the script to send it once, perform some actions, then send the same one again. Well, it send the keystroke, performs the actions, and doesn't send the keystroke the second time. I have sleep commands before and the keystroke, in case its missing it because its too soon after the actions, so thats not the problem. Any suggestions?

Can you show some of the script?

It doesn't send the second "I".

Try

send ("!i")

or

{SHIFTDOWN} Holds the SHIFT key down until {SHIFTUP} is sent

send ("{SHIFTDOWN}")

send ("i")

send ("{SHIFTUP}")

send ("!i")

+ is shift, alt is !

[SweatyOgre]

I just need it to send plain "I" key, but in the program it is sending the key, the shift won't affect it, so maybe it will cause the script to send the key.

[Arctor]

The question is: Wasn't the "I" sent? Or didn't the script reach the line where the second send("I") is placed. I would test it with a simple Output. Just put a MsgBox(0, "Output", "Line has been reached") instead of the second send ("I") and look it comes up or not. Or just write something to a textfile.

It's not doing the pixel searches either. I added a MsgBox after the second Send("i") and it is getting to that line...ugh, whats wrong?

Oops sorry

I have no more idea. I do not know in what game you are in. I can't test your script on my machine. What I noticed is that a function named WinCheck() is called. But I don't see the function itself.

[SweatyOgre]

That function is defined earlier in the script, and is just a simple function to check and see if the game window is active.

[SweatyOgre]

I just separated the whole function into another script, and ran it, and it worked. AGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Does anyone have any possible idea why autoit wouldn't send a keystroke, or wouldn't perform a pixelsearch?
