Thanks to Hester for helping me with my Joint Ops script, now I'm on to Battlefield Vietnam.

Simple (or I think its simple) question: Why won't this script let me hit left shift once, but act like I am holding it down, until I hit left shift a 2nd time? I want it to act like I hold down left shift the whole time, but it starts with 1 keypress and terminates with the 2nd keypress.

Perhaps something like this might work:

Bobo: already married - my wife puts up with this, can you believe it? Smile

Carlos:
Interesting thought, problem is that with that the Shift never lets go. For the time being I'm just going to live with it. Too many other things to worry about.

Thanks for all the input - I once had some concept of BASIC but that was long ago and my mind isn't as sharp as it once was. Wink

Looks like this post got abandoned a long time ago so I am resurrecting it because it looks like the closest match to my problem. Could someone give a hand with this? I have a couple of games that I would like to be able to use shift as a toggle so I do not have to hold it down to crouch.

ok, so i can get it to work using the n key but not with right shift. here is my code for using the n key:

*n::
if GetKeyState("n") ; n is down, so release it.
Send {n up}
else
Send {n down}
return

I can also use this code to use right shift as a modifer for the n key. basically in the game i have n set to crouch and right shift is the key i use to do the crouching.

*RShift::
if GetKeyState("n") ; n is down, so release it.
Send {n up}
else
Send {n down}
return

so what is that i am missing?

This works -- at least in Notepad.

That last script was mine. Yeah, I didn't try the right shift button before posting, and it doesn't work for me either. I'm clueless.
