Open the helpfile and look for these commands:

Send()

sleep()

While ... wend

Enjoy

[Faithom]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Just scroll down on the send helppage.

{LEFT} = Cursor left

[Faithom]

Send("{LEFT}")

Sleep(50000)

Send("{RIGHT}")

Sleep(50000)

ContinueLoop

is this somewhat right?

[Blue_Drache]

Send("{LEFT}")

Sleep(50000)

Send("{RIGHT}")

Sleep(50000)

ContinueLoop

is this somewhat right?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Somewhat...

1 second = 1000 msec

Sleep timers are mesured in msec

So, I usually do this:

$sec = 1000
Sleep($sec*30); sleep for 30 seconds

Also you said you wanted to HOLD the left arrow for 3 seconds, right? Holding a key needs the addition of the "up/down" modifier.

{left down} Sleep {left up} Sleep {right down} sleep {right up}

I'll leave you to figure out the "While/WEnd" loop.

Also, look at the HotKeySet portion of the help file. That will explain how to set a hotkey to break out of the script and stop it running.

$sec = 1000

While $sec <=1000

Sleep($sec*30); sleep for 30 seconds

{left down} Sleep {left up} Sleep {right down} sleep {right up}

WEnd

that's another shot..

I didn't give you real code. I gave you psuedo code. You have to figure out the correct syntax. It's all a learning process. No one will spoon feed you here. There is no spoon.

And FYI, While will be infinate.

Just use

While 1
; code here
WEnd

for infinate loops.

While 1

Send("{LEFT}")

Sleep(50000)

Send("{RIGHT}")

Sleep(50000)

WEnd

What about :

While 1
    Send("{LEFT DOWN}")
    Sleep(3000)
    Send("{LEFT UP}")
    Sleep(50000)
    Send("{RIGHT DOWN}")
    Sleep(3000)
    Send("{RIGHT UP}")
    Sleep(50000)
WEnd

While 1

Send("{LEFT}")

Sleep(50000)

Send("{RIGHT}")

Sleep(50000)

WEnd

Correct. Every 50 seconds it will tap the left key once, followed by the right key 50 seconds later, ad infinitum.

Caveat: Your script won't care which window is active. It will send a left or right arrow to whatever window has the current focus.

Ok, I found a spoon.

$sec = 1000
$window = "Title of Window Goes Here"

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "MyExit"); set the escape key to break the script.

While 1
   Sleep(10); tiny sleep for the While loop
   WinActivate($window); activate window
   Send("{left down}"); hold left key down
   Sleep($sec * 3); 3 second delay
   Send("{left up}"); release left key
   Sleep($sec * 30); 30 second delay
   WinActivate($window); activate window
   Send("{right down}"); hold right key down
   Sleep($sec * 3); 3 second delay
   Send("{right up}"); release right key
WEnd

Func MyExit()
   Exit
EndFunc  ;==>MyExit

This script will ensure that the proper window always has focus before sending the Left or Right arrow.

mmm spoon fed ty sir
