Okay, I need some help.

I have written a script which should allow me to cheat (single player only.)

The game is medieval 2 Total War. I just want the hotkey to send the cheat commands in the console window. Text input works, but when I hit the hotkey combo, the hotkey doesnt send my script into the console.

I have tried many combinations of keys to get the script to fire, but i have not been successful. Nothing gets typed into the console box.

here is a look at the script.

^+M::
Send give_trait this GoodCommander 5 {Enter}
Send give_trait this AcademyTrained 2 {Enter}
Send give_trait this AssassinMaster 3 {Enter}
Send give_trait this AssasinCatcher 3 {Enter}
Return

^+U::
Send give_trait this GoodConspirator 3 {Enter}
Send give_trait this GoodSpy 5 {Enter}
Send give_trait this NaturalSpySkill 3 {Enter}
Return

I think it's that plus that's throwing you off. Here's how I'd do it:

Does not work.
still I've tried all of this.
Ive tried very basic combinations like Just m or j and while it lets me type in the console, autohotkey doesn't activate in the console window.

I want to try to use the Tilde key

Like from the mapscreen, I want the flow of infor to go

Send Tilde
Send code
Return

is there a way to make a tilde? I havn't been able to locate it.
all is seems to do is put a space of some sort in there.

I tried your suggestions....

Still no go.

I really appreciate the help you are giving me you guys.

Here is some additional Information

Alright in the game, you start on a map.
There are characters on the map which you select with the mouse
Once selected you push the Tilde key to open the game's console window.
from there you type give_trait Good commander 5 and it activates the code on the selected character.

The problem is, I cannot get autohotkey to even work in the game. Ill push my Shift+1 hot key in the console in the hopes that it will just automatically enter the code for me. Instead the game just inputs an !.

Ideally I would like to have it setup to enter several codes in one go, which was the original appeal of the program.

I know when i tired to make a AHK work in Everquest i could not because EQ was run in admin (vista) and the AHK program wasn't, unless i compiled it, which was a pain to do when i had to keep making alterations. Try throwing this in the start of the program.

So far, everything is a no go. I know the script works in notepad.

The game just isnt recieving any of the simulated keystrokes.

Ive tried send, send event, send play...

There must be something I can do. My friend used to use autohotkey to do exactly what Im trying to do... only he doesnt have the script, and he doesnt remember how to create it. (his hard drive died)

Don't forget that the backtic "`" needs to be escaped, like "``" in order to show up.

Still a no go.
The game just doesnt recognize anby input whatsoever from Autohotkey.

Ill push a command and none of the keystrokes occur in the game. If I alt tab out the keystrokes are being simulated still, but the game just isnt recieving them
^M::
Send, {Bind} +`
Sleep, 50
Send, give_trait this GoodCommander 5
Send, {Enter}
return

didnt work.

None of those seem to work either.

[tidbit]

If you read the FAQ, you should then know why.
