AutoIt Send

[Net]

I'm very new to coding in general and was wondering if anyone could help me. I have written this (don't laugh) to help me with a project, which it currently does fine. Anyways, I need help understanding how to send a command to an alt-tabbed or hidden window. From the little I understand I would use a ControlSend command?

CODE

#NoTrayIcon

AutoItWinSetTitle ("Firefox")

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "esc")

HotKeySet("{F4}", "mfe")

While 1

Sleep ("500")

WEnd

Func mfe()

$o = 1

Do

$sec = Random ("7000", "10000", "1")

Sleep ($sec)

Send ("5")

$o = $o + 1

Until $o = 100

EndFunc

Func esc()

WinKill ("Firefox")

EndFunc

1st of all.

Does the script reads:

$sec = Random ("7000", "10000", "1")oÝ÷ Øhºméz»Ùíçj«¨µ*ºÚ"µÍÌÍÜÙXÈH[ÛJ

Yes, ControlSend().

[Net]

ControlSend ("omgsekretzlawl", "", "", "5")

Is what I was using to replace Send(). I used "AutoIt Window Info" to figure out the rest of the code for ControlSend() but it only has a title.

Does removing the quotations do anything such as minimally optimize the code or something?

Where required the the built-in AutoIt functions do a Number() or String() conversion to match variable types on parameters.

$sec = Random("7000", "10000", "1")
ConsoleWrite("Debug: $sec = " & $sec & @LF)

ControlSend ("omgsekretzlawl", "", "", "5")

That should work fine. What happens when you try it?

It's supposed to press a hot key in the game but it doesn't so it just idles.

(I want to thank you a lot in advance for at least taking the time to reply )
