Hi,

I'm trying to write a script for Star Wars Galaxies such that I can control two characters at the same time.
Basically, I want certain keystrokes to be sent to two different Star Wars Galaxies windows at the same time.

However, I cannot seem to get the script to work.
I've searched the forums and also been looking on google and I've read the helpfile quite a bit.

I have tried adding messageboxes and it seems like the script is running through with no errors which is why I am at a loss here...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is the script I have so far:

WinGet, swgid, List, Star Wars Galaxies

~7::
KeyWait 7
IfWinActive, Star Wars Galaxies
{
ControlSend,, 7, ahk_id %swgid1%
ControlSend,, 7, ahk_id %swgid2%
Return
}

WinGet, swgid, List, Star Wars Galaxies

~8::
KeyWait 8
IfWinActive, Star Wars Galaxies
{
ControlSend,, 8, ahk_id %swgid1%
ControlSend,, 8, ahk_id %swgid2%
Return
}

WinGet, swgid, List, Star Wars Galaxies

~9::
KeyWait 9
IfWinActive, Star Wars Galaxies
{
ControlSend,, 9, ahk_id %swgid1%
ControlSend,, 9, ahk_id %swgid2%
Return
}

WinGet, swgid, List, Star Wars Galaxies

~0::
KeyWait 0
IfWinActive, Star Wars Galaxies
{
ControlSend,, 0, ahk_id %swgid1%
ControlSend,, 0, ahk_id %swgid2%
Return
}
Return



Thank you!

A small update, if I use "Send" it works, but obviously "Send" only sends the keystroke to the active window which defeats the whole purpose of writing this script.

... just thought I'd add it in case it makes any difference.

I know SWG isn't the most commonly played game these days, but noone has used AHK to play 2xSWG's?

I assume it would be quite similar to World of Warcraft Multi-Boxing... Have you tried taking a look at those scripts? Do a forum search.

The script I posted is based on a WoW script, and I did a forum search and looked through a multitude of them, and pretty much all of them use the functions as I have them.

Also, I verified the functions used and I cannot see any errors in the script I've posted, but it still doesn't work :-/

Maybe try moving all of the"Return" statements outside the If statements. I think that may contribute. They are all inside the Braces.

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately, oving the return makes no difference.

I have actually realized that ControlSend is the part that is not working.

If I do it this way it works, although the swapping windows part is extremely annoying and I would prefer to not to it this way.

~7::
KeyWait 7
IfWinActive, Star Wars Galaxies
{
IfWinActive, ahk_id %swgid1%
{
WinActivate, ahk_id %swgid2%
Sleep, 500
Send, 7
Sleep, 100
WinActivate, ahk_id %swgid1%
Sleep, 2000
Return
}

IfWinActive, ahk_id %swgid2%
{
WinActivate, ahk_id %swgid1%
Sleep, 500
Send, 7
Sleep, 100
WinActivate, ahk_id %swgid2%
Sleep, 2000
Return
}
Return
}

If win Exist, (window 1) by ahk class, make it active, send the click.
Try making active the window you want to click before each click !
