Code to press R every 5 seconds

[Alebzeb]

I need a program to press R on my keyboard every 5 seconds, over and over. I'd like to switch it on and off with F2. Can someone give me the code for this I would be very grateful

Code: Select all

F2::
+F2::
If press := !press {
 Gosub, PressR
 SetTimer, PressR, 5000
} Else SetTimer, PressR, Off
SoundBeep, 1000 + 500 * press
Return
PressR:
Send R
Return

how would i do this for A being the key to be entered on a game continuously? i tried this code with A instead of R and it worked but not on my game

If it works in Notepad but not in your game, then the issue might be how your game is responding to the script. You could have a look at the tips for games.
