SendInput not working in game app

[hsn36]

Hey everyone,
I wrote a basic script like this ;

Code: Select all

SetKeyDelay, 1000
Joy5::SendInput, 5
Joy4::SendInput, {Up}
Joy12::SendInput, {Down}
return

But joy4 and joy12 is not working in game app. Can anyone help me with this ?

Read: SetKeyDelay

Remarks
Remarks
If SetKeyDelay is not used, the default delay is 10 for the traditional SendEvent mode and -1 for SendPlay mode. The default press duration is -1 for both modes.

SetKeyDelay is not obeyed by SendInput; there is no delay between keystrokes in that mode. This same is true for Send when SendMode Input is in effect.

Change SendInput to Send, the default send mode is event and then SetKeyDelay will work. You will likely want to set the PressDuration parameter of SetKeyDelay also when sending keystrokes to a game. example: SetKeyDelay, 1000, 50
