AutoHotkey Community

Hi everybody! I've been learning so much about AutoHotkey - it is a great tool. I've been working on this for a while now, and I can't get if figured out. I got the dollar sign trick working, but I cannot get it to stop . I should be able to press "s" again to make it stop, but it keeps going. I've got

$s::
Loop
{
Send, s
If GetKeyState, out, s, p
break
}

Can somebody help

it seems, you are not tank, cause tank would have known the answer.
please consider using a different username, this is very irritating. we are used to be insulted and given IE-COM help from tank, not being asked beginner questions.

Tank is a prolific poster here (2916 posts to date), but he recently changed his name to BoBoKins for some reason. You might consider changing your name just to avoid confusion, but anyways...


Try this:


the part that was tripping you up was that the command version of GetKeyState returns "U" for up and "D" for down. It is the function version (the one with parenthesis) returns true/false. I also added a kill-switch to make working with the script easier. Some script can just get out of control (pressing s forever and ever and ever...), so being able to kill it quickly is useful.

Thank you for the help. I thought GetKeyState was a function. This still doesn't work though. It stops pressing "s" a little bit after I release "s" - rather than holding it until I press "s" again.

I'm sorry if I made you mad theallmighty - I just wanted help. I'm kinda lost on this - I got the idea to use the name tank from a user named tlm in another post - http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtop ... &start=225. Is this name reserved or something

I see what happened now with the names. If BoBoKins asks for it back, I hope you'd be nice... but it's your name now so have fun! TheAlmighty was probably just startled, don't worry about it.



I misunderstood what you were trying to get. This version waits for you to release the s button and then waits for you to press it again.

You are a genius Rapte_Of_Suzaku This AutoHotKey stuff rocks
