Looking for help with a FFXIV macro Topic is solved

[lordH]

Hello, I am essentially illiterate when it comes to scripting languages, so apologies if what I am asking is beyond basic.

In a nutshell, I am looking to have a script that presses F1, then a few sec later F2, on an endless loop. I found the following script on google:

Code: Select all

Delete::

Loop

{

Send {F1}

Sleep 1000

Send {F2}

Sleep 1000

}

return

Home::ExitApp

[Mod edit: [code][/code] tags added. Please use them yourself when posting code.]


I assume this means I press delete to start, and home to end this scripted process?

The issue is, I have no idea where to copy+paste this script into? And then how to run it? I greatly appreciate any assistance offered. Thank you

Welcome! Once you have installed autohotkey, you can run the raw scripts, otherwise it would need to have been compiled into an executable.

1A or 1B.
A: Once installed, the dash should appear, or search for AutoHotkey on your system. -> Click "New Script"
B: Right-Click on the desktop and go to "New -> AutoHotkey Script"

2.
Paste the code into the editor.

3.
Save.

4.
Run the Script. Pressing "Delete" should start it and pressing "Home" should stop it.

Be aware this forum and what is provided below is for version 2.

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0

Delete:: {
  Loop {
    Send("{F1}")
    Sleep(1000)
    Send("{F2}")
    Sleep(1000)
}
  return
}

Home::ExitApp
