Wait for input


Recommended Posts

Hey I'm trying to make my script wait for the user to press a key, then use that key in a function. It's the same concept as a custom hotkey, how to I do it?

For those who are asking questions, look in the help file first. I'm tired of people asking stupid questions about how to do things when 10 seconds in the help file could solve their problem.[quote name='JRowe' date='24 January 2010 - 05:58 PM' timestamp='1264381100' post='766337'][quote name='beerman' date='24 January 2010 - 03:28 PM' timestamp='1264372082' post='766300']They already have a punishment system for abuse.[/quote]... and his his name is Valik.[/quote]www.minikori.com

You could use an infinite While loop with a giant branching statement that uses calls to _IsPressed() [found in Misc.au3 include] to see whether a valid key has been pressed.

As a small subset for a sample:

Func readKeypress()
    local $start = TimerInit()
    While 1
        If TimerDiff($start) > 10000 Then
            ;// stuff if your user took too long
        ElseIf _IsPressed(41) Then
            return("a")
        ElseIf _IsPressed(42) Then
            return("b")
        ElseIf _IsPressed(43) Then
            return("c")
        ElseIf _IsPressed(44) Then
            return("d")
        EndIf
                sleep(10)
        WEnd
EndFunc

this is just for letters a,b,c,d obviously, and yours would need to expand upon that to include all those that you wish to use.

Alright, that will have to do for now, and if some has another way, that would be helpful.

How many keys are you talking about? Why doesn't HotKeySet() work?

:P

If you can promise that this wouldn't be used as something malicious... I've got a modified version from someone else that will instantly check if any key is pressed. The problem is, it could easily be turned into a keylogger.

If you can describe what it is you're making and promise it's not to be used like this I will pm you the code :P

Extremely CPU intensive way (also, Check4KeyPress Fn. should open 'user32.dll' and pass in it's handle to _IsKeyPress, but hey!)

#include <Misc.au3>
$HexKey = Check4KeyPress()
Msgbox(0, "Key was Pressed", "Key=" & $HexKey)


Func Check4KeyPress()
Local $number = StringSplit("01|02|04|05|06" & _
    "|08|09|0C|0D|10|11|12|13|14|1B|20|21|22" & _
    "|23|24|25|26|27|28|29|2A|2B|2C|2D|2E|30" & _
    "|31|32|33|34|35|36|37|38|39|41|42|43|44" & _
    "|45|46|47|48|49|4A|4B|4C|4D|4E|4F|50|51" & _
    "|52|53|54|55|56|57|58|59|5A|5B|5C|60|61" & _
    "|62|63|64|65|66|67|68|69|6A|6B|6C|6D|6E" & _
    "|6F|70|71|72|73|74|75|76|77|78|79|7A|7B" & _
    "|90|91|A0|A1|A2|A3|A4|A5", "|")

While 1
    For $i in $number
        If _IsPressed(String($i)) Then
            Return String($i)
        EndIf
    Next
Wend
    Return 0
EndFunc

It's a keep awake bot, so that on games like World of Warcraft, you won't go afk. I'm trying to make it customizable to what key it presses to keep it awake.

If the user has to sit there and press a key to keep it awake whats the point of the script? :P

Sorry I'm still confused :P

You set your key then hit start, it then sends the key every certain amount of time(also specified by user)

The easiest way to do this by far is to just call the function every X amount of time

$Usertime = Int(GUICtrlRead($Input1)) ; 1000 = 1 second
AdlibEnable($Usertime, "My func")

Then where does the hotkey come in?

i said same concept, not that i would be using a hotkey

So its not a hotkey at all... are you saying you just want one of the parameters in a function to be a key? Look up the Send() Function, and then just have a string with the key you will be sending as one of the parameters

I know that, I needed help with getting the key that was pressed.
