run script in the background

[Elze]

Hey,

pretty new to AHK, i made a simple Script to run some Basic Farming Stuff in my Game while AFK!
Now i had the idea to maybe run it in the Background while doing other stuff(browsing, watching videos) or just playing with another Instance of the Game.
You can have multiple Instances of the Game open without any Problem!
i would like to run the following Script in the Background:

Code: Select all

#IFWinActive The Lord of the Rings Online
#MaxThreadsPerHotkey 2

F11::Suspend

LCtrl & F1::

My Questions now are what would be the best method to run it in the Background?
And when i run the Script in the Background, can i also use other Scripts while playing in another active window? or would they collude with each other?
Would my actions with mouse and keyboard collude in some kind of way while running it in the Background?

Also is there a better option to write Scripts then just using the built in Windows Editor?

Greetings and thanks for the help

I think there is no way to make it run in the background as you say, mainly because the script can't create some sort of "virtual keyboard/mouse" that only outputs a signal to one window.

Also, a better option for a script editor is Notepad++ whit a user-defined language made for AutoHotKey scripting.

and to set up Notepad++ for scripting read this other post.
