[Solved] Sending 2 different action when a key is pressed + when it’s released

17 Sep 2018, 12:17

Hello

I'm a newbie and I couldn't find code for this

I want to do this:

If MButton is being held down, do "SoundSet, 0,, Mute, 2"
and if MButton is released, do "SoundSet, 1,, Mute, 2"

How can I do that?

Thanks in advance

MButton can be finicky, but the code should be

Code: Select all

MButton down::SoundSet, 0,, Mute, 2
MButton up::SoundSet, 1,, Mute, 2

If it doesn't work as is, try a different key instead of MButton, just to test it. Then we can come up with a different solution.

Thanks for your reply! Unfortunately your code doesn't work, even with a different key. "Error: Invalid hotkey."

Bah, I forgot down is not a modifier for hotkeys.

Code: Select all

MButton::SoundSet, 0,, Mute, 2
MButton up::SoundSet, 1,, Mute, 2
