If WinActive works not as intended on AHK v2

[scharyu]

I have a script that disables several hotkeys and Windows button when a game is launched. The script was created on AHK v1, but now I have AHK v2 installed and tried to convert v1 script to v2.

How it used to look like:

Spoiler

v1

Code: Select all

GroupAdd, GameActive, ahk_exe DetroitBecomeHuman.EXE
GroupAdd, GameActive, ahk_exe ModernWarfare.EXE
GroupAdd, GameActive, ahk_exe TheAscent-Win64-Shipping.EXE
GroupAdd, GameActive, ahk_exe TheAscent.EXE
GroupAdd, GameActive, ahk_exe witcher3.EXE
GroupAdd, GameActive, ahk_exe r5apex.EXE
GroupAdd, GameActive, ahk_exe bf4.EXE
GroupAdd, GameActive, ahk_exe bf2042.EXE
GroupAdd, GameActive, ahk_exe Everspace2.EXE
GroupAdd, GameActive, ahk_exe ES2-Win64-Shipping.EXE
GroupAdd, GameActive, ahk_exe csgo.EXE
GroupAdd, GameActive, ahk_exe Human.EXE
GroupAdd, GameActive, ahk_exe cod.EXE
GroupAdd, GameActive, ahk_exe Overwatch.EXE

#IfWinActive, ahk_group GameActive
*LWin::Return
<^Shift::return
^Esc::return
!Tab::return
#If

Then I converted it to v2:

v2

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotKey v2.0.0

GroupAdd "GameActive", "ahk_exe r5apex.EXE"
GroupAdd "GameActive", "ahk_exe bf4.EXE"
GroupAdd "GameActive", "ahk_exe Everspace2.EXE"
GroupAdd "GameActive", "ahk_exe csgo.EXE"
GroupAdd "GameActive", "ahk_exe cod.EXE"
GroupAdd "GameActive", "ahk_exe Overwatch.EXE"

if WinActive("ahk_group GameActive")
{
	<!Tab::Return	
	*LWin::Return
	<^Shift::return
	^Esc::return
}

It actually works in term of disabling the hotkeys. But the problem is that these hotkeys are always disabled if the script is launched, but they have to be disabled only if a specific app is launched/active.

Where is the problem? It seems for me that it should work properly...

the problem is ure not using #HotIf

Hey there, @swagfag. Any chance we can off-forum chat somewhere? I am apparently too new here to do that here.
