Send("{UP down}") isnt working

[bf2forlife]

here is my script:

PixelSearch(0,0,1024,768,0x725F4D)
if @error Then
Send("{UP down}")
Sleep(3000)
Send("{UP up}") 
EndIF

It presses up arrow only once, how i can keep it down for 3 secs?

can't see the problem, the code is ok

From the helpfile:

Opt("SendKeyDownDelay",$milliseconds)

alters the length of time a key is held down before being released during a keystroke.

Perhaps it helps.

(this is a global setting, not just for the Up key but for ALL send commands)

Doesn't work, too Windows sends ~ every 50 ms a new KeyDown, i think:

$x = TimerInit()
Do
Send("{UP down}")
Sleep(50)
Until TimerDiff($x) > 3000
Send("{UP up}")

I am having this same kind of problem, however I am trying to send F5.

The timer above seemed to not change anything. I want the key to be held down as if it were being repeated. (Like what would happen if you held down 'a' in word).

Does it work this way?

$ms = 3000 ; Time to press
$key = "UP" ; Key to press
$Old = Opt("SendKeyDelay",50)
Send("{"&$key&" "& Floor($ms/50) &" down}{"&$key&" up}")
Opt("SendKeyDelay",$Old)
