Help With Random WSAD Keypresses

[HTWingNut]

I'm totally new to AutoHotKey, well I shouldn't say that, I fussed with it ages ago, but looking to send random WSAD key presses.

I found this link https://autohotkey.com/board/topic/106754-how-do-i-make-a-random-key-press/

And provides this script:

Code: Select all

arr := ["w", "a", "s", "d"]

$q::
Random, oVar, 1, 4						
sendinput % arr[oVar]
return

Save it as an AHK file, compile it, and run it, and it does... nothing.

Do I have to do something special, or how do I know that it's actually running?

Thanks.

if a shows up in the tray or notification area, u know its running
if u want to find out whether its doing the thing its supposed to be doing:

• dont compile it, run it as an .ahk file, double click the icon -> view lines most recently executed
• make a hotkey, eg w::listlines and press it
• add Menu, Tray, MainWindow to ur script which enables listlines in a compiled script

Thanks for taking time to respond. I think I'm figuring it out....

Ok, one more thing.

Just trying to get a random number to input a space.

I use:

Code: Select all

Random, Rnd1, 1, 6

if (Rnd1 = 5) send {space}

But compiling it says "unexpected {"

place send on the next line
