Keyboard macro program

[sheep455_is_the_best]

Hello.

 

I am looking for a program that can tap a key, while I am only pressing it down.

 

Simple request, simple answer? (I hope : )

 

Thanks in advance.

Use a program called AutoIt3

 

Create a script like this

 

HotKeySet("{Esc}", "captureEsc")

Func captureEsc()

   HotKeySet("{Esc}")

For $i = 5 to 1 Step -1

	Send("9")

	sleep(500)

Next

HotKeySet("{Esc}", "captureEsc")

EndFunc



While(true)



WEnd

 

 

 

Replace the {Esc} with the Key you want to bind, replace 9 with the key it is to press and sleep value, 500 with the delay between presses in milliseconds.

 

O and replace the 5 with the amount of times to press the key per press of the Hotkey.

 

 

 

Note if your planning on using this for RuneScape do not as it breaks Rule 7.

Precisely. But programs like these have several other uses and hopefully you're using them for one of those.

Thanks for the input, I will try it out :D

 

And just for clarity, this is not for RS. In any way.

 

Thanks

 

 

 

Edit: Works perfectly! Thanks alot.

 

Now it's time to learn how to make some scripts

 

A lock can be performed here, if anyone wants to.

I'll leave it open, this could be useful for someone else. :P

Sheep, off topic question, but did Soa make your signature? I think I see his style in that.

I must thank Joe and sheep. I've been looking for a decent macro program and script for awhile.

 

 

 

And I don't have to worry about breaking any rules. I don't play RS anymore, and the only other game I play is WoW, which already has a macro program built in (but you can only use it in WoW, hence the need for a third party program).

 

 

 

Can you only hit one key at a time though? Or can I set it so I would hit like

(enter)

? (Note that's just an example, as i happened to be working on writing a paragraph for my site.

Made it myself, but with a tutorial. Maybe Soa used it too?

AutoIT? Nice man, autoIt is a cool scripting language. Here's a timer I made to help me be efficient when I cast "String amulet" for lunar magic. It plays a sound and flashes colors after I input the correct time (about 47 seconds in this case to cast it 27 times). It might be of use to other people too. This only plays a sound and flashes, it does not interact with the game itself in any way.

 

 

 

Edit: Once again, this doesn't interact with the game, and does not give any unfair advantage. So please think before posting and saying this is breaking rule 7./Edit

 

 

 

On autoIT, its a very robust language. But I would not recommend trying to have it do anything like macro'ing. It is very dangerous to do so. It is very possible, but JAGEX will probably be able to detect it. Trust me from experience back in 2006 when I tested this theory out :)
