I wanted to make a simple script for a game but when I'm at the game and I press 1 the script just .. doesnt start (even when I open the history there is nothing .. as if I haven't pressed 1). Any ideas ?
(http://grandchase.ntreev.net - the game)

try this

I am not sure it's they start key itself ... 1 works just fine at notepad and such

Hi me10c, welcome to the forum.

Some games capture the keyboard when they are active and ignore or suppress AutoHotkeys.

A possible answer is to install a lower level keyboard hook so that AHk 'sees' you keys.
You put this command once at the top of your script. Please read here:
http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands ... bdHook.htm

A related command is here. As a newbie the differences are probably hard to understand http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/_UseHook.htm

p.s. As you have learned, it is a good idea to test scripts with notepad (if possible)

It does recognize the 1, but when it send the Zs, the game still does not recognize them ...

>>It does recognize the 1
I can't understand, how you can tell that it, whatever "it" is, recognizes the 1.

Two suggestions, performed separately.
1. replace your "gosub" statement with a "msgbox" statement
this tests that the "1" is actually getting to AHk

2. read up on the details of how AHk interacts with games
http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/Send.htm
perhaps "sendplay" would work better in your game

.. I can tell if it recognizes 1 when I double click the icon in the tray after I press 1 .. If there is "send z, send z .etc etc" the 1 was recognized and it started the Zs.

SendPlay is usualy tried if SendInput and Send(Event) don't work. I would try SendInput first.

Meh ... I'll just spam the Z with my finger (SendInput, SendEvent and SendPlay do not work either)
