Like the MouseDown

You know what? ...until you give some background on what you are wanting to accomplish your answers will be as poor as your questions...

So, here is my answer...

try it again... but harder this time.

I looking for a plain script that will hold the shift key down untill i send a cmd to release it.

[Pain]

Try with {SHIFTDOWN} instead, without space.

{SHIFTUP} to release the key.

There may be a bug in "SHIFT DOWN" ... try "SHIFTDOWN". I think AutoIt has some special doings for modifier keys...

Send("{SHIFTDOWN}")

SHIFTUP later

Im having some trouble release the keys again now

; Hotkeys
HotKeySet("{F11}", "hammer_toggle")
$autohammer = 0
Func hammer_toggle()
        If $autohammer = 0 Then 
        Sleep(100)
        MouseUp("left")
        Send("{ShiftUp}")
        Sleep(100)
        $autohammer = 1
    Else 
        Sleep(100)
        MouseDown("left")
        Send("{ShiftDown}")
        Sleep(100)
        $autohammer = 0
        EndIf
    EndFunc 


; Idle
While 1
    Sleep(10)
Wend

Getting it to hold down the mouse + shift key is working fine now, but I cant get it to release it after pressing F11 the second time.

[youknowwho4eva]

could it be because shift is down . your hot key would need to be shift F11. If I'm not mistaken

Tried changing it to some numpad keys and even a simple "P".

Didnt change anything

[youknowwho4eva]

if you as in there for a msgbox to come up, does that work? what about setting a timer to auto shiftup after 5 seconds, does that work? I personally have never used hotkeys.

[senthor]

Shouldn't it be:

; Hotkeys
HotKeySet("{F11}", "hammer_toggle")
global $autohammer = 0
Func hammer_toggle()
   If $autohammer = 0 Then
      Sleep(100)
      MouseDown("left")
      Send("{ShiftDown}")
      Sleep(100)
      $autohammer = 1
      HotKeySet("{F11}")
      HotKeySet("+{F11}", "hammer_toggle")
   Else
      Sleep(100)
      MouseUp("left")
      Send("{ShiftUp}")
      Sleep(100)
      $autohammer = 0
      HotKeySet("+{F11}")
      HotKeySet("{F11}", "hammer_toggle")
   EndIf
EndFunc   
; Idle
While 1
   Sleep(10)
Wend

you know what the problem was?

When Shift-Key is down, the hotkey must be shift+f11.

not f11.

[youknowwho4eva]

:-P like I said. Only I haven't needed to use hotkeys yet, so I couldn't make an example and know it works

[pastak]

ah and the "+" is instead of shift ?

[youknowwho4eva]

yes, look up send in the help file, it will give you loads of valuables like that one.

like Send("{EntertDown}") or Send("{wDown}")

Oh, and while you have my attention: Stick to posting in one topic instead of cross posting the same question at different places.
