Run Script Only In One Window Topic is solved

[Javalotl]

I know this has been asked multiple times but I'm still having trouble understanding, I want to make a simple script that enters keys to a window in the background so I can have the script running and continue using my computer with it running. Below is an example of the script I have.

Code: Select all

/::
#Persistent
SetTimer, PressTheKey, 14000
return

PressTheKey:
Send, {f}
Sleep 500
Send, {f}
Sleep 1500
Send, {w down}
Sleep 1500
Send, {w up}
Send, c4
Sleep 1500
Send, {a down}
Sleep 1500
Send, {a up}
Sleep 1500
Send, {s down}
Sleep 1500
Send, {s up}
Sleep 1500
Send, {d down}
Sleep 1500
Send, {d up}
Sleep 1500
Send, x8
Send, cc2
Sleep 1500
return

.::Pause

See ControlSend.

Can you give an example? I don't fully understand what goes where.

Here’s an example that would send text to a Notepad window if you have one open when you run the script:

Code: Select all

ControlSend, Edit1, hello there, ahk_exe notepad.exe

I still don't quite understand, how would I write that for my script in the original post?

I can't tell you exactly how since you haven't shared any details of your program's window or its control if you need to send it directly to a particular control. Use the Window Spy tool that came with AHK, and read about WinTitle and ControlSend.

Window Spy is giving me:
"MORDHAU
ahk_class UnrealWindow
ahk_exe Mordhau-Win64-Shipping.exe
ahk_pid 8872"
So how would you write it to send inputs to that window? (ie Send, {f})

Alright, I got it to work, thank you.
