hotkey vs Noob= hotkey wins :(

[Guest forthefunofit]

;I want the hotkey to be active and trigger the send function every time I hit the hotkey until I exit the script.

HotKeySet("^!s", "MySend")

Func MySend()

Send("2")

Sleep(1500)

Send("3")

Sleep(1500)

EndFunc

I know the send section works but the hotkeyscript will not run. Im sure it is somthing simple since I am such a noob. Any assistance would be appreciated

thanks,

That script does 0. I suggest you look at the manual, and the examples. And ask yourself., how this works. You cannot learn til you know alittle of something.

Understanding a computer language is like trying to understand your self. You need to learn the basics?

How to call a function, may be a solution to your problem here.

Edit: grammer change.

Edit2: Opps, sorry, your calling a functon via hotkey, but no loop to keep your script alive?

You missed an important part of the script. Basically the script would work fine, but it will end before you can hit the hotkey and thus will do pretty much nothing.

HotKeySet("^!s", "MySend"); looks for key to be pressed while script running

; added a loop so that the program doesn't end 
; before you can hit the hotkey to see if it works

while 1 ; this starts a loop that will always be true
sleep(10); saves CPU cycles
wend; starts the while loop again


Func MySend(); this is the function

Send("2")
Sleep(1500)
Send("3")
Sleep(1500)

EndFunc

many times you can miss the easy stuff.

You also might want to add a sleep(500) before the 'Send("2")'
