Help a noob! Topic is solved

Hi all!
Noob here and I am sorry if the answer to my question is somewhere in the forum but it's hard to find when I don't even know the keywords to describe what I want to do.

So I want to make a macro that when I use it one will send a sequence of commands that will be the same every time and a command that will be one of two alternatives.
For example when I press "1" once it will send: 1,2,3,x and when I press "1" a second time it will send: 1,2,3,y and then 3rd time 1,2,3,x and so on.
Is this possible?

Thanks!

Yes it is possible. You will need a counter at the global scope to increment each time the hotkey is pressed and what to do inside the hotkey for each increment. Don't forget you will need to reset it back to 1 at the end of the last option.

Something like this:

Code: Select all

Num := True

$1::
    Num :=!Num
    If (Num = False)
    {
        SendInput, 1,2,3,x
    }
    Else if (Num = True)
    {
        SendInput, 1,2,3,y
    }
Return

Or:

Code: Select all

Num = 0

$1::
    Num++
    If (Num = 1)
    {
        SendInput, 1,2,3,x
    }
    Else if (Num >= 2)
    {
        SendInput, 1,2,3,y
        Num = 0
    }
Return

Thanks a lot! Unfortunately this doesen work. It sends the first sequence, second hit of the button does nothing and then it sends the first sequence again.

Oh just saw the second one and it works like a charm! Thanks!

Simplify:

Code: Select all

$1::sendinput % (x := !x) ? "1,2,3,x" : "1,2,3,y"
