send {f1} not working in a game Topic is solved

[NewberEnerNeeder1]

Code: Select all

x::
{
send {f1}
sleep 1000
send {f1}
}
return

for some reason the game doesnt recognize that f1 is being pressed from the ahk script.

any ideas to fix this?

Perhaps longer keypress duration needed (try SetKeyDelay 0,50), perhaps wrong send mode, perhaps fullscreen mode that messes it up - try (borderless) windowed mode instead.

There are lots of possible reasons. Some games won't cooperate at all.

Do you want to hold F1 once for 1000ms or send two F1s with a pause of 1000ms ?

Hold F1 for 1 sec:

Code: Select all

x::
send {f1 down}
sleep 1000
send {f1 up}
return

To send two F1s, try this (based on the working script that you provided).

Code: Select all

x::
send {f1 down}
sleep 1
send {f1 up}
sleep 1000
send {f1 down}
sleep 1
send {f1 up}
return

Or

Code: Select all

x::
SetKeyDelay, 0, 20	; or:   SetKeyDelay, 0, 50   or play around with different values.	
send {f1}
sleep 1000
send {f1}
return

wow guess it needed a delay ty greg.

i tried so many things figured it was something simple

send (f1) didnt work
but with that key delay it did

or the f1 down

and f1 up

that worked with a small delay ty again
