Hi, I'm having some trouble with this script.

Code:


$*space::
Loop
{
GetKeyState, state, space, P
if state=U
{
return
}
{
Send {space}
Sleep 500
}
}
return



What I would like for the script to do, is for the duration of me holding down space, it would hold space for 500 milliseconds, then turn it off for 500 milliseconds, then on for 500 milliseconds, etc.

Instead this seems to quickly tap space then hold for 500 milliseconds.

How can I create a script that specifies not just the wait time beteween the button presses, but also how long the button presses are?

Thanks for your help

}
Send {Space up} ;to prevent space sticking down
return

Hi Krogdor,

thanks for your reply

The script that you posted is closer to what I would want. I have 2 questions though.

Is there a way for me to specify different times for key down and key up?

ie

while holding the space bar down, I get the result

space down 500 milliseconds

space up 300 milliseconds

space down 400 milliseconds

space up 200 milliseconds

and then loop those 4 over and over?

2. This loop appears to override all other keys I press. Is there a way I can get this to play nicely so that other button presses I make while holding down the space bar will still function as normal?
