[Rotti]

Not sure if this is possible but i have been trying to figure out a macro that can do the following keystrokes

3 every 15 seconds
5 every 10 seconds
4 every 12 seconds
contine to hit 0 if none of the timers are up


Does anyone know if this is possible

[HotKeyIt]

Try:

[rotti]

That seems to be very close

Im not sure what this does

Thread,NoTimers
;SendInput % "{" . SubStr(A_ThisLabel,0) . "}"
ToolTip % "Sending " . SubStr(_ .= SubStr(A_ThisLabel,0),-100)
Return

i just need it to send the key strokes in whatever program i am in
notepad for example

SetTimer, Send0,100
SetTimer, Send3, 15000
SetTimer, Send5, 10000
SetTimer, Send4, 12000
Return
Send0:
Send3:
Send4:
Send5:
Thread,NoTimers
WinActivate, New Text Document.txt - Notepad,
Return
Escape::ExitApp

I suggest you surround your code in blocks.

First, your while doesn't have brackets {} so the surrounding code isn't blocked together, rather the line IMMEDIATELY following will be looped, not the whole thing. I think where you placed your while block is probably wrong.

Second, if it were to include the whole thing, it only activates the Notepad, nothing else. Tooltip was a good idea as it would let you see the timing

Why does WinActivate have an comma at the end?
Lastly i suggest you read from the helpfile what the commands do, it's very well documented. We can assist if you don't understand.

The first posted suggestion looks great in my opinion, uncomment the sendinput and add a IfWinActive check.
