Hello! im kinda new to the scripting world (took some classes in school) and was wondering (yes i searched for it) about how to write a script to just run a simple button pressing macro. ie; "hit w", delay a couple seconds" , "repeat". just tryin to work on the basics! If ya could help me out or point me in the right direction i would be ever so grateful!!!

thanks again!

Welcome.

While 1 ;endless

send ("w") ;button to send

sleep (1000) ;time in ms

WEnd

$i = 0

While $i <= 10 ;repeat X times

send ("w") ;button to send

sleep (1000) ;time in ms

$i = $i + 1

WEnd

*edit* sorry to double post, cant seem to re-edit my last post :

and not to sound more nubish but can anyone take me step by step on how to put this into notepad or script editor and actually get it to work? I tried to put it into autoit format yet it wont save (says it does yet cant find it anywhere) so im a lil confused! All i wish to do is use it within another program to hit a "w" key every couple seconds, on an endless repeat. Sorry to beg on a step by step but my simple mind cant seem to figure it out... every time i compile it, it tells me that its not in the right directory ( or even saved for that matter) ahh its so frustrating!!!!

I suppose you already installed AutoIt and scite, if not download and install the latest version from here

http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/downloads.shtml

after you installed it rightclick on your desktop --> "New" and "AutoIt v3 script" to create a new script.

Change the name to whatever you want like "MyFirstScript.au3"

Open it with SciTE4AutoIt3 and paste this code:

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate"); Press Esc to terminate the script

While 1;endless loop
send ("w");button to send
sleep (1000);time in ms, 1000ms = 1sec pause
WEnd

Func Terminate()
    Exit
EndFunc

Your script are now done, if you want to change the pause just edit the "Sleep" to whatever you want to.

To compile it go to "Tools" > "Compile" or press on Ctrl+F7.

Look at your desktop and you should find a file called "MyFirstScript.exe".

<3 ty!!!

sadly i found that the program i wish'd to run it apparently has some sort of anti-macro program because it just keeps pausing it...

o well, still can use the program for other stuff! thanks again
