Multiple commands with different delays in one hotkey

[xerislight]

I'm trying to create a hotkey for a game that will press 2 different keys on different timers... Here's the script I have for one hotkey:

Code: Select all

#MaxThreadsPerHotkey 2
Numpad1::
   toggle:=!toggle
   While toggle{
	SetKeyDelay, 10
	Send {3}
	Sleep 20500
   }
Return

So basically, every 20500 ms, AHK will hit the 3 hotkey. I want to add the 2 hotkey on a different timer, something like... 300 instead of 20500.

So basically I want to be able to hit Numpad1, and every 300ms, hit hotkey 2, and every 20500ms hit hotkey 3. Is that doable? I'm not sure how to construct that! Any help appreciated.

You referred to three hotkeys, but your script has only one, so your intent is not clear.

Yes, you can use SetTimer. Example

Your hotkey can start two timers-- two different SetTimer commands. Each timer will have its own subroutine.

Code: Select all

#MaxThreadsPerHotkey 2

You should up that or else you may get stuck in your while loop.

perhaps 15 **Arbitrary number**

Yes, this is my issue. My script has one hotkey... I want to figure out how to add a second key on a different timer, using the same macro. In the example I posted, the macro is pressing "3" every 20.5 seconds (roughly). I want the macro press "3" every 20,500 seconds, but also press "1" every 5 seconds. I'm not sure how to make it do that.

I read the "SetTimer" page you linked, but the examples there, for example:

Code: Select all

#Persistent
SetTimer, CloseMailWarnings, 250
return

CloseMailWarnings:
WinClose, Microsoft Outlook, A timeout occured while communicating
WinClose, Microsoft Outlook, A connection to the server could not be established
return

This also seems to only be doing 1 thing.

Code: Select all

Numpad1::
If on := !on {
 SoundBeep, 1500
 Gosub, 1
 Gosub, 3
 SetTimer, 1, 5000
 SetTimer, 3, 20500
 Return
}
SetTimer, 1, Off
SetTimer, 3, Off
SoundBeep, 1000
Return

1:
3:
Send %A_ThisLabel%
Return
