Autofire and toggle

[Geff T]

Welcome to ahk, Geff T

ty

i have had to give in and ask a Q here https://autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic ... 827#p85827but i wont go to OT

[evilC]

Please can we remove the GetKeyState technique for detecting release of a key? IMHO it is bad advice (Only works with one key) and is inefficient (Potentially introduces up to 10ms lag if you use a Sleep 10)

See here: https://autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=19745

Code: Select all

*Space::
Send {Space}
Sleep 250
Return

works for me (holding space presses it exactly 4 times per second), no need for a loop, i guess my keyboard works weird?

could it be that the hotkey and the key sent being the same key, that it's creating a loop on it's own

ok, i've just checked, it still works when the input isn't in the output

Code: Select all

Space::
Send hello
Sleep 250
Return

this would probably be a bad thing if i wasn't trying to make a loop anyway

yeah i noticed that too with my random number generator, while holding control j it sends random number, enter, and it sends J's too

Code: Select all

^j::
    SoundBeep, 525, 100 
    Random, rand, 1, 10000
    send, %rand% {enter}
	return

it turns out it's tied to the physical keyboard's auto-repeat feature, and is interrupted by other keypresses
i used this instead:

Code: Select all

SetKeyDelay -1
t=
Space Up::t=
Space::
t=1
While t {
Send % " "
Sleep 250
}
Return

it's basically just the toggle method but without the threading problem

If you want to use a spammer for a key, just use this. It's small, simple, and can be used anywhere in a script, not just a hotkey.

hi guys i need a little script! very easy, activate/deactivate with F4, when i hold primary mousbutton pressed the mouse moves down with same speed without stop, and when i reallease the primarymousebutton it stops. can sombody help me pls?

I know this thread is super old but as it's about a tool it seems like to place to request support for said tool. Have a weird problem, while running the test from this tool in game, the key inputs are indeed making it in game through several commands like Send, SendInput, SendEvnt and what have you. So I have a script that sends the same command that works in the test tool but it's not working in game. Autohotkey is set to run as Admin, I'm on the latest version, I've even tried compiling the script into a .exe file but it doesn't work in game. The script in question DOES work in a text window, toggle the key repeat on and on with the push of a button and that does indeed work in notepad. So what can the problem be, is it a problem with the window the script is focusing on? I've got the game in windowed mode, everything running as admin and just won't work. As said, keystrokes are making their way into the game via the test tool just not with my script.

would there be a way to make it so it would click faster

Hello,
If you're interested, I created a script for: Autofire toggle using the Keyboard or a Game Controller
You can use the analog thumbstick or controller keys to toggle the autofire of a key, too.
The script's post is called: Autofire toggle using Keyboard or Game Controller (can be used for Game Emulators Speed Toggle) and has the address:

For the second method. If I press the hotkey 3 times during the while loop it will never stop again, is there any workaround for this?
