Help with making code for keyboard Macro

[omeganexus]

I need help creating a macro that works in the Armored Core 6 game.
Basically, I need that when pressing the Shift+Q Keys, the Macro leaves the Q and E Keys pressed infinitely, until the Q Key is pressed, thus releasing both keys.

Hi. @omeganexus

Can't test it, but this might work.

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey 2.0
#SingleInstance


+q::SendEvent "{q down}{e down}" ; shift+q
q::{

	if GetKeyState("q")
		SendEvent "{q up}"
	if GetKeyState("e")
		SendEvent "{e up}"
}

The code you posted didn't work. I needed the Q and E Keys to be pressed infinitely, in a loop, until the Q Key was pressed. However, I realized that I couldn't use the Q and E Keys as a condition for ending the loop, after all they were always in the "Down" state.

That's why I used a new shortcut, the Shift+R hotkey to activate the Macro, and the R Key as a condition for the end of the loop. However, I realized that the GetkeyState function takes a few milliseconds to update, and that's why I needed to add a sleep with 150 milliseconds to give the R key's state time to update.

In the game it worked really well. Still, thank you very much for your help.

Code: Select all

+r::{
	sleep 150
	loop{
	SendEvent "{q down}{e down}" ; shift+r
} until KeyWait("r" , "D")
	SendEvent "{q up}{e up}"
}
