Macro script help

[shush12345]

When I press the following buttons I want it to type out a phrase and press enter as quickly as possible:

When I press F1 I want it to type ":pull x" and press enter after
When I press F2 I want it to type ":hit x" and press enter after
When I press F3 I want it to type ":locktarget" and press enter after
When I press F4 I want it to type "@x @x @x @x @x @x @x @x @x @x" and press enter after
When I press F5 I want it to type ":throwknife x" and press enter after
When I press Esc I want it to type ":escort x" and press enter after
When I press Del I want it to type ":heal" and press enter after

I want all of these to happen instantly so there is no delay.
I edited this post to make it more clearer.
These macros need to work while holding shift.

Can someone pls make a script for this ASAP?

[shush12345]

Im usning this scipt for a game:

F1::Send, `:pull x
F2::Send, `:hit x
F3::Send, `:locktarget
F4::Send, `@x @x @x @x @x @x @x @x @x @x
F5::Send, `:throwknife x
Esc::Send, `:escort x
Del::Send, `:heal x

and I need it to press enter everytime i press a macro and I need it to be instant. For example, I press F1 and it instantly types :pull x and enter button
Also theses macros dont work while I hold shift so can you make them work while holding shift

[shush12345]

I changed it to this:

Shift & F1::Send, `:pull x
Shift & F2::Send, `:hit x
Shift & F3::Send, `:locktarget
Shift & F4::Send, `@x @x @x @x @x @x @x @x @x @x
Shift & F5::Send, `:throwknife x
Shift & Esc::Send, `:escort x
Shift & Del::Send, `:heal x

But when i use it, you can see each letter being typed out but i dont want that, i want it to be instant (like when you copy and paste stuff). Also, I need to make it press enter after each one I press

You could try

Code: Select all

+F1::SendInput, `:pull x{enter}

+ acts as the Shift modifier - this way is preferable.
If SendInput mode doesn't work for your game, you might try to set the clipboard to the string you want, and paste it via send ^v.

Thanks it works. Would you say that the clipboard thing would enter the phrase faster than the sendinput or are they same speed because the game that I play, every milisecond counts

[gregster]

Probably pasting is faster, but if there's a noticeable difference for such short strings, I don't know. I am no gamer, and I usually don't look at milliseconds.

Can you do the same script you did but make it paste please?

[gregster]

It might depend on the game

Code: Select all

+F1::
	clipboard := ":pull x`n"
	SendInput ^v
return

or perhaps:

Code: Select all

+F1::
	clipboard := ":pull x"
	SendInput ^v
	; sleep 10		; optional
	SendInput {Enter}
return

[shush12345]

Code: Select all

+F1::
	clipboard := ":pull x`n"
	SendInput ^v
return

or perhaps:

Code: Select all

+F1::
	clipboard := ":pull x"
	SendInput ^v
	; sleep 10		; optional
	SendInput {Enter}
return

which is faster?

[gregster]

No idea - might depend on the game, if it works at all. Potentially the first one.
Try it and see...

Ok thanks just 1 more question. I want macros for f2,f3,f4 etc... so do i leave a space under it and type the script again for example:

+F1::
clipboard := ":pull x`n"
SendInput ^v
return

+F2::
clipboard := ":hit x`n"
SendInput ^v
return

[gregster]

Yes, that's a way. You could wrap that into a function, I guess. It wouldn't be faster, just less lines.

The first script out of the 2 doesnt enter when i press f1 @gregster

Yeah, that's surely possible. I could only test it in an editor.
Does the second one work? Then, use that.
