AutoHotkey Community

what was the command for autohotkey to simulate someone actually pressing down the button? not the Send, function

like this?
SendInput, {Raw} {SPACE}

AHK can only generate artificial input.

someone made a code awhile back that was able to use hotkeys in games, so lets say i want space to actually press enter, are there any other ways of typing remapping hotkeys?
this code is probably far from right but its just a example =)

Sorry about the wording, but I just HAD to

There is no other, there is only SEND.

In short, as engunneer said, AHK can only send artificial keystrokes, using Send. Either


or


BUT, you can experiment with SendMode and SetKeyDelay to try and make it work with your game. Read up in the docs about the commands and see if they make a difference.

let me try to find the one someone else made and ill post it

i dont want to mess with the registery, so your saying autohotkey is not capable of sending commands to a directX game?

Yes it is, I use it regularly.

EDIT: Even DX10 games work. But as I said, you need to experiment with SendMode and/or SetKeyDelay to see which settings work with your game.

EDIT2: Example, with H.A.W.X, I need to use SetKeyDelay, 50, 50 (ANY other values and it doesn't work, I don't know how, but that's how it goes.) Also I need to be sure SendMode is NOT set to Input or Play, else it won't work with HAWX. LFS is not that picky, it accepts almost whatever I throw at it. and so on.

so how would u get those SetKeyDelay numbers? is it just a guessing game? and same about the SendMode how do i know which one? i am playing aion just to let u know, the skill bar hotkeys are annoying i was jus ttrying to move it down a few rows to z-m keys

More than likely, it's all trial and error. SetMode isn't so bad 'cause there aren't that many choices, but experimenting with SetKeyDelay takes time. I tried multiple settings and didn't get my game to work, then I needed to tinker with the setting for another reason and suddenly I had found settings that also worked with my game.

SetKeyDelay sets the time between keypresses and the time the key stays pressed, If the game doesn't register any keystrokes, I think the first thing one should do, is lengthen the delay and the press time.

I'm sorry I can't be more helpful, but I really don't know any other ways.

You could probably make a hotkey/loop logic to automatically go through multiple setkeydelay settings and each time try if the key works.

i will try that and get back to u

Just curious, what game are we talking about?
