AutoHotkey Community

ok im a total noob, so please dont flame.

i have looked and i still couldnt find what i waslooking for.

i play an online game that demands a key to be pressed for continueous action.

so what i was needing was something that would give the notion of me pushing down the shift key over and over, but while i hold it down.

i know this isnt very clear, but i was wondering if there is a loop command that would allow me to just hold down the shift key, and it would simulate me pushing it over and over, but when i let up off the shift key it would stop.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

thank you ahead of time.

Try the following left-Shift hotkey. It might need some refinement:

thanx man, i'll giver a try

didnt work :/ anyone got any suggestions?

You could prod the keyboard with some kind of battery-operated adult toy... (These go quite cheap in some stores - made in China?)

Some games bypass AutoHotkey, at least unless you get creative...

The script above might have worked but this one may be a bit cleaner:

ok i tried it and it worked, except it didnt press it fast enough.

is there anyway to speed the loop up? or is that as fast as it gets?

btw, thank you for your help, it is greatly appreciated.

u guys pawn.

there is no way to speed up the loop unless you take the Sleep, 100 out. though i think that line is commened out. if not take it out and if it still isn't has fast enough, then there is nothing that can be done other then increase the speed of you computer.

increaseing the speed of your computer only only speeds up the time it takes your computer to read, evaluate, and exacute each line of the code.

Well, there are several performance controls in AHk that by default protect your computer from being crashed by a script; about half a dozen options are described in online help under "Performance". However, on the face of it, the script does nothing but flip Shift up and down with no delay. I suggest it runs /too/ fast; I can press Shift around 65 times in 10 seconds, I think, and no sensible game action will be much faster than that. Try Sleep, 150; also, perhaps, try the on-screen keyboard (under Accessories/Accessibility in Windows XP and earlier) and see how fast you can get it to respond to Shift down or up... I haven't yet checked that that works.

once again thank you, i will try and let you know what im comming up with.
