Script for handicap gaming Topic is solved

[scratchlaw]

I hope I don't come across as lazy for asking someone to write a script for me, but I've spent a significant chunk of time trying to write one myself and I am at a mental block. Would someone mind writing this for me? I am disabled so I use a 2-button mouth-controlled mouse and voice software to use my computer. My goal is to use an auto hotkey script to allow me to play more games.

The script I am imagining would cause a "double right-click" to hold down "W" (moving forward in game). I got that far into writing a script, but these next options were just too advanced. I would also like it to cause an additional single right-click to press "space" (triggering jump in game) WHILE "W" is still being held down. Then I would like to be able to double right-click a 2nd time to cause the script to stop holding down "W".
Additionally, it would be nice if a triple right-click would do the exact same thing except to hold down left shift and W (running in game), while also allowing the option where an additional right-click would press the spacebar. Then to stop holding down left shift and W I could triple right-click.

Something else I need help with is how to stop a script from running? I would imagine I could run this script before I start playing the game, but I don't want a double right-click to ALWAYS cause these commands.

Please let me know if something doesn't make sense. Basically what I'm to be able to hold down left shift and/or W, with the option of pressing space, based on some variation of simply clicking the right mouse button. I haven't thought of a good way to incorporate A, S, and D in addition to W, so if you know of something please let me know!

Hi and welcome. Can you move the mouse along the x,y-axes? If so, there are axis-to-wasd key scripts already available in the Scripts and function->Gaming section. My eyes are half shut atm, I'll send you link tomorrow if you cannot find it.
Good luck!

Thank you for your welcome. I have since stumbled across those axis scripts. I am trying my best, but currently I still can't wrap my head around how they work. I wonder also if those scripts would still be useful if I need to be able to move the mouse cursor to change the camera angle? The game I am hoping to play is Astroneer.

Thank you so much for putting your time into this! I have some follow-up questions if you don't mind. So it looks like "ctrl alt x" would end the script once I'm done playing? I also see that I need to insert the game title. How specific of titles need to be used? If I took away that hotkey, would the script continue to run regardless of the program or game until I ended it?

I think you solved it. Absolutely brilliant. I need to test it in game, but it looks like it's working beautifully. Did you test it in a game?

it seems like the only problem is that space is not working.

You can exit the script by pressing ctrl+alt+x. If you remove this hotkey then you have to right click tray icon then click exit in order to exit the script or end task using task manager. Put SetTitleMatchMode, 2 at the top of the script, you can then use partial part of the game title with #ifwinactive.

Did you test it in a game?

Yes. Tested it on an FPS game.

it seems like the only problem is that space is not working.

try
send, %A_Space%
sendevent, %A_Space%
sendevent, {space}
or
SendMode Input
SendMode Event
or SetKeyDelay, 20, 20

Does this line need to be edited? I got it working by using the same characters you used for W and LShift.

ToolTip, Time between Right Clicks: %txt%ms`nRight Click count: %count%`nspace down: %d%`nw down: %b%`nLShitf down: %c%
if ( (A_TickCount - st) >= 500) ;500ms or more after the last rclick it will take action
{
if count = 1
{
d:=!d
if d
send, {Space down}
else
send, {Space up}
}
else if count = 2

The problem was that I had to right-click wants to press the spacebar, and then press it again to release the spacebar. It made it so that every other right-click would press the spacebar.

You want single right click to repeatedly press spacebar and also stop it with a single right click?

I apologize for the confusion. I would like a single right-click to press the spacebar while W is being held down (using the script). In my previous message I was able to accomplish that, sort of, but the way I wrote it the spacebar would only press down every other right-click. So, after double-clicking the right mouse W is being held down. From there, a single right-click would press the spacebar, a double right-click would stop pressing W, or a triple right-click would additionally hold down left shift. I believe?

[ahcahc]

it seems like the only problem is that space is not working.

First, what do you mean by space is not working? Did it not send space after single right-click? Or sending space send, {space} has no effect ingame? Have you tried replacing send, {space} with send, %A_Space% , sendevent, %A_Space% or sendevent, {space}?

This is what my first answer does:
single right-click = press and release spacebar once
double right-click = press and hold w (toggle)
tipple right-click = press and hold LShift (toggle)
They work independent of each other. Meaning a single rclick will press spacebar no matter what is the state of w or LShift and w or Lshift will toggle pressing down or up no matter what the states of the other keys were.

Thanks for the clarifying questions. That is correct, space was not working in game. I tried those other configurations and they also did not work. For your other question, it's okay if they work independently of each other. I did not think about that at first, but it's perfectly fine. Probably better in fact.

Using the script from my first answer try replacing

Code: Select all

if count = 1
	send, {Space}

with

Code: Select all

if count = 1
	send, {Space Down}{Space Up}

or with

Code: Select all

if count = 1
{
	Send, {Space Down}
	sleep, 100
	Send, {Space Up}
}
