Post subject: Suspend hotkeys until 1 of 2 keys is pressed - how?

Posted: March 25th, 2005, 5:16 am

Hi all

I've just started using this program and the scripting because the Joint Operations game didn't let me set any toggles for posture of my player. My current problem is this (having solved the posture one):

when I try to use the in-game chat, the "C" key (which is scripted for the "prone function" in the game) is unavailable to be used for typing. What I want to do is have the script watch for EITHER the Enter keystroke (showing I've sent my typed message) OR the Esc keystroke (showing I canceled my typed message). I know KeyWait will work for 1 keystroke, but how do I do the either / or situation?

Here's the script I put together, in case its any use for anyone else who sees this.

Code:

;
;
;   Stand is mapped to    Delete
;   Crouch is mapped to    End
;   Prone is mapped to    PgDn
;  This will let you have more of a toggle to your positions than the 3 key setup in JO.
;  For example, if you are standng, hitting LShift will go to crouch.  Then, if you want to go prone,
;  you hit C.  Because of the nested IF statements, you are able to hit C to stand up from that prone 
;  hit LShift to go back to crouching, using LShift again to stand up.  
;  The effect is that, if you keep track of what position you are in, hitting the key that matches that
;  position (hit C if in prone and LShift if in crouch) will let you stand up.  No more messing with a
;  third key to stand up!

Thanks - I'll look more deeply at that once I get home from work.

As for the posture state at death or mapchange, yeah, that's a bugaboo. I have the same issues in my script for Counterstrike, so its become second nature to just hit everything immediately after I respawn.

Even with that issue, this is much much better than the stock control setups.

well, after the easter holiday I got back to working with this. Here's the new problem (note there are some spelling errors between "imchattin" and imchatting).

Whenever I hit the "t" to chat in the game, the Lshift and C keys send ONLY the letter t. I'm clearly out of my area of skill with this. Why would they be all of a sudden send "t"? I see it once, but shouldn't that be what is sent when I hit T and only that one time?

An alternative idea I had was that if I hit "t" twice in quick succession, that would temporarily disable all of the hotkeys until I either hit enter or esc. Of course, I'm lost on how to tackle that one at all.

So, thanks for anything that can be done to guide me - even just as to whether or not either of these tasks is possible (which I'm sure they are). Even just a suggestion as to what commands might be involved would be helpful.

oops we both missed the return for c and LShift
the script stopped at the return for t thats why t was showing up when c or LShift was pressed.

that still didn't work, but here's what does!

at the end of each option for posture, i added an 'else' followed by 'send, {key}' like so:

Code:

*c::
;   Standing, so go prone when hit C
if stand=true
   if crouch=false
      if prone=false
   if imchatting=false
         {
         send,{PgDn}
         stand=false
         crouch=false
         prone=true
         return
          }
   else
   send, c

Note the "else" on the line following the }.

Now it lets me type C's where I need them! The shift key didn't seem to work for capital letters, but that is such a non-issue I don't care if it works. It was hard telling people "cover me" without being able to type "c" :lol:

Thanks for the help, the posture stuff is working great and I might end up porting this script to other games that don't have toggles for posture.

Give this a try if you like, it's MUCH more efficient than what you had and should function identically. Sorry but I had no way to test so good luck.

Can somebody help me make a script for this game to lean left & run right?

lean left = q
strafe right = d

I have tried

Code:

control::
send, qd
return

I have also tried

Quote:

*control::
send, {q}
send, {d}

and a bunch of other similar codes but, no luck

Would be very great full if somebody could help me :wink:

You mean to hold them down? Try this.

Code:

*control::send,{q down}{d down}
*control up::send,{q up}{d up}

Thanks for the fast & accurate help before, wandering if you could help me with a new script.

I'm trying to replicate the snake glitch in JO.

The snake glitch goes like this

hold w
press z
tap a & d repeatedly

I've managed to get it to do it, but only briefly & the sequence never properly stopped (it never released W).

heres some of the things I've tried so far:

Code:

;Loop, 10
;{
;*w::send,{z down} {a down}{d down}
;*w up::send, {a up}{d up}
;}

;w::
;send, {w down}
;send, {z down}
;Loop
;{
;send, {a down}
;sleep, 10
;send, {a up}
;sleep, 10
;send, {d down}
;sleep, 10
;send, {d up}
;}

alt::
loop
{
sleep, 5
send, {a}
sleep, 10
send, {d}
}
return

One of the big problems i've been having is trying to get it to stop
