hello,  all i needed was an autokey presser, in gta4, to press f2 automatically every 15~seconds, so i could continiously  film my game.however as i tried out all autopresser programs, it appeared they were total shit and didnt worked at all

 

SO i ended up in this site ,which is actually really great. i was total noobie in scripting (its like if  you switched the topic about CARS, i wouldnt know how many wheels it had).

anyway, so i tried to copy and create some pressing script from the internet

 

and im suprised it worked....... atl east in notepad, however as soon as switched to gta 4 window it was hopeless ,no matter what i did it just didnt recognize the game, no matter what i,ve tried, i have tried some hook thing, the sendplay command the$  symbol and etc...

still i think it is eazy peazy issue for you guys  to help me and save my life!

 

ok so here is how my altered script looked like (1 of many variations)

 

 WinWait,  GTAIV
 WinActivate
 WinWaitActive

    #Persistent
    SetTimer, PressTheKey, 3000
    Return

    PressTheKey:
    Send, {f2}
    Return

 

this is + - how my script looked like, including all sendplays tried out,

 

i hope guys you can help me ,and please, post ALL suggestions, how to make it run in the gta4 window

 

(reminder: it worked in the notepad)

 

 

thank you!

Hello strRC and welcome to Autohotkey

 

"(reminder: it worked in the notepad)" This is very common for some games they block commands like send.You can try using My Click and Send tool to try out different commands to see if any one works.

 

Here is a link to my Tool: http://www.autohotke...icksend-tester/

On of the big reasons why AutoHotkey doesn't seem to work in games is that many games push themselves into true full screen mode to give the player that "immersive" feeling. True full screen mode uses a completely different memory map that AutoHotkey hasn't quite managed to crack. That said, if you can switch your game into windowed mode then you have a much better chance to get AutoHotkey scripts to work in your games.

  Your method for getting the handle to the game client seemed a bit ambiguous.  It probably worked but just didn't look right.

The following is very close to what I use to attach to game clients, give it a shot.  Your code has been added.

Not putting all the code in the autoexec section allows you to hotkey the script initialization.  Here, the Win+F10 will initialize the

script AFTER gta4 is loaded and you don't have to switch focus to do it.

Also, there is more than one method of getting input into the game, this example is using SendEvent.  Check the help file for all the

various methods.

One last thing... AutoHotkey should be run as administrator.

#SingleInstance force
#InstallKeybdHook
#UseHook
CoordMode, Mouse, Window
;
; end of autoexec section
return
;
#F10::
; Win+F10 to init AHK script
WinGet, gtaHWND, ID, GTAIV
if (gtaHWND = 0)
{
  MsgBox, You have no game client(s) running.
  Reload
}
else
ActivateMainWindow:
{
  WinActivate, ahk_id %gtaHWND%
  WinWaitActive, ahk_id %gtaHWND%
}
return

#t::
  ; Win+t
  SetTimer, PressTheKey, 3000
return

!#t::
  ; Alt+Win+t
  SetTimer, PressTheKey, Off
return

PressTheKey:
  GoSub, ActivateMainWindow
  Sleep, 50
  SendEvent, {F2}
  ; might try this... a longer keypress
  ; Send, {F2 down}
  ; Sleep, 10
  ; Send, {F2 up}
  ;
  ; another method...
  ; ControlSend,, {F2}, ahk_id %gtaHWND%
return

Thanks guys for warm assistance, ill try all your suggestions, especially oozr's . the thing is those codes u posted terrify me i can barely understand what you have written , so ill just try to copy paste them, and give feedback

I should mention, learning the AutoHotkey script language is a joy.  Nothing about it should intimidate you once

you know what it does.  That said, look up each command in the help file till you know exactly what the above script does.

This will probably not be the last script you use/write.  So give it some time, good luck to you, visit here often
