Many times AHK's hotkeys do not work in DirectX/OpenGL games. On scripting the settings/in-game console you might have luck however. Depends.

i have spend atleast 5 hours searching forums and autohotkey help for info with no luck so far =/

edit: hmm been looking into this controle send, dont really understand how it works..

Often SetKeyDelay is the answer. See the manual for usage.

im such a noob, could you please tell me excatly how to modify my script so it works?

Try

Also try using SendPlay instead of Send (assuming you don't have SendMode,Play.) To set key delay for SendPlay (may not be necessary):

like this?
____

SetMouseDelay, 10, Play

WheelDown::sendplay {down 5}


Wheelup::sendplay {up 5}

____

Didnt work

No. This refers to MouseMove, MouseClick, Click, etc. (simulating mouse input), not mouse hotkeys. You are sending keyboard input, so try SetKeyDelay. Also, 10 milliseconds may not be enough.

It can be called from the auto-execute section to set the default:
or in the hotkey itself:Note that it is the second parameter, PressDuration, not Delay.

Then again, looking at this script for Warcraft III, it doesn't seem to need anything special for Send to work. It seems to use the default send mode (SendEvent) - have you tried your script without SendMode Input, and Send or SendEvent instead of SendInput?

Rereading your original post, you say wheel down doesn't work. Does that mean does work? And WheelDown should send {down} but doesn't?

no neather of them work

WheelDown::
SetKeyDelay, , 50, Play
sendplay {down 5}
return

that worked! thank you so much even worked with 10 instead of 50
