im trying to make macros for street fighter 4. but 1 problem i have is when the game calls for simultaneous button presses.

i use

but the game will not take that as 3 simultaneous keystrokes but rather, x, then xy, then l. basically, it's inconsistent.

is there a way to truly send 3 simultaneous keystrokes as if im pressing down on them on my keyboard at the same time?

edit: btw, your subject line says 2, the body of the post says 3.

I doubt that a human, working through a keyboard can send all 3 keys simultaneously.

There are factors such as when a key is actually deemed 'hit'.
These are affected by contact wear and dirt and keyboard debouncing algorithm.

This is not difinitive, but you can check the Ahk response detection yourself. Run the first 3 scripts,
or just the last, the timing is several ms off either way.

A_TickCount
The number of milliseconds since the computer was rebooted. By storing A_TickCount in a variable, elapsed time





Don't use this script with the other 3, it will interfere with other scripts detecting the hotkey.

Try SendInput, it will send the keys faster and will increase the possibility of the game recognizing it as a "simultaneous" key press.

I am pretty sure that a keyboard can not send more than one keystroke at a time.

only send and send event works. input/raw/play doesn't seem to be recognized.
