key send doesn't work on a program/game

[soulhealer]

function like Send("whatever") to the game window, doesn't work at all. except for mouse macro like MouseClick function. in short, the only macro that works, that is mouse macro.

i tried several other macro programs(other than autoit), gives the same result. somehow this game maybe have kinda protection...

so, perhaps anyone could give some idea, how to solve this matter? any hint/tips...?

if u are doing that u must use controlsend, except it cant send !@%@$^%&) characters etc... looking up the UDF controlsendplus.

i tried ControlSend, it didn't work either. hm, what is "UDF controlsendplus" ? can't find it on the help file.

I've noticed that sometimes just a Send("{SPACE}") seems to be 'too fast' for a game to catch, although knowing how events work, I don't see how this could be the case.

I've found a workaround by using:

Send("{SPACE down}")
Sleep(50)
Send("{SPACE up}")

This usually does the trick.

Cheers.

Adjusting the Opt("SendKeyDownDelay", 50) might help too with games (find a value that works for the game).
