world of warcraft player, Looking for Autofire

[Perrito]

Hi, english isnt my main language so i apologize if i dont explain myself correctly.

I play world of warcraft, i spam my keys, i would like to have a funtion where i just press 1-6 and the autohotkey will spam that key as fast as posible, the script could be enabled by pressing scroll lock.

i found a player saying this work but i tried and the script would not work. I only need 1-6 to work with spam.

Little more explanation, In the game you have to press your abilities, if you are a caster you want to get the cast as fast as possible, so in order to do this what i do is i spam (lets say fireball wich is number 4) the key 4, i would like to press a key down and the script to spam that key until i release the key.

Thanks in advance.

You may need to change the #HotIf statement to match your window title.

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
#SingleInstance Force

#HotIf WinActive("World of Warcraft") 
~1::
~2::
~3::
~4::
~5::
~6::
{
  hit_Key := LTrim(A_ThisHotkey, "~")
  while (GetKeyState(hit_Key, "P")) {
    Send(hit_Key)
    Sleep(50)
  }
  return
}

[Perrito]

does the sleep 50 is the duration that it will take to press the key again?

can i lower that or increase that?

[WarlordAkamu67]

Yes, that is 50 miliseconds. You can alter that or remove it if you would like... you did say as fast as possible.

Im using the script but it doesnt looks like its working for me, im getting the current error:

Warning: This variable appears to never be assigned a value.

Specifically: global Input

▶ 005: SendMode(Input)
006: SetWorkingDir(%A_ScriptDir%)
008: {

For more details, read the documentation for #Warn.

this is what i have on the script:

; #Warn  ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.

The lines that you added to what I provided are giving you and error because you are trying to set send mode to that of a variable called Input, which is not created. In version 2 of AutoHotkey, things are assumed to be expression, and so literal text must be quoted. In this case, you want a literal string, SendMode("Input"). Check out the documentation on send mode.

In the picture of the documentation, you can see the quotes around the send mode type. Additionally, you are causing some confusion with the script directory. The same problem is occurring in that the value passed to the function is assumed an expression all ready, and should be just the variable [SetWorkingDir(A_ScriptDir)] or a literal string/file path [SetWorkingDir("myfiles\here")]. More can be found in the documentation: https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v2/lib/SetWorkingDir.htm

As for the second script you posted, I do not have the time today to look at it much. It is a script for AutoHotkey version 1.

I apologize.

Still trying to figure out how can i get autofire on my 1-6 keys, i would prefer to activate the script when caps locks is on instead of when the game is active. Thanks in advance.

[WarlordAkamu67]

I see now that this isn't what you mean and later today I can provide something closer to your description. To make sure everything is addressed, though:

Sorry I missed that part in the original post. That can be done be adding or changing a check for the toggle state of CapsLock (or you can change it to scrolllock). This can be done with GetKeyState("CapsLock", "T"). By adding that to the #HotIf statement, or changing the statement. I removed the WinActive and replace it with GetKeyState. Additionally, I quoted the string for the SendMode() and removed the %'s from the SetWorkingDir().

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
#SingleInstance Force

; #Warn  ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode("Input") ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir(A_ScriptDir) ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

im using this and still not working in game, then for no reason it crashed my computer pressing 1 non stop. i must be doing something wrong.

Sounds like a classic case of "hotkey sends the hotkey" issue. Simple fix is $ in front of each hotkey but that's not so simple to add to this script.

The 2nd script all ready includes "$" where the hotkey function creates the hotkeys. As for the original script I posted, don't forget to add them to the LTrim.

this doesnt work while on game, when i try to use this, and come to the forums it works nonstop, the script will have to stop pressing the key when i release the key, for example. lets say my rotation is number 4 fireball wich is a 2 sec cast time, i wantt to spam 4 as fast as possible that way the spell is queque as soon as possible. then i get a proc of pyroblast, i want to now spam 5 (pyroblast key) that way when the last fireball is casted immidiatly fires the pyro and then again i want to press 4.

so it will look like this: i press 4 1 time then i press 5 1 time then i press 4 again, i want the script to fire the key until i release the key. this script is pressing that key forever and it only works sometimes on the forums not in game.

My suggestion is changing send mode to event and adding setkeydelay( , 250) to the top.
On mobile, so i can’t test it or write it for you, but the script you have as a whole should do exactly what you want, but with these changes, the game should see the presses too.

@Perrito
This script is a simplified version of Warlord's script but with the changes I suggested earlier included. Try this and we can test other stuff depending on how it goes. I included an exit button if things go crazy (F12). Keep this line the first time you run it for safety, but if you need F12 in-game, then delete that line. The hotkeys are only activated while scroll lock is toggled on, so make sure you use it.
