AHK not working in video games Topic is solved

[KernelPopcorn]

Hello. I really like this program but it doesn't seem to work in any kind of game I play. I've tested it in Gmod, America's Army, Unturned, etc. and it just doesn't work. Any help?

Followup: the only thing it does seem to work in is skype.

There's a post on the other forums (not sure of an equivalent on the new forums) that talks about video game troubleshooting. Check it out: http://www.autohotkey.com/board/topic/1 ... he-basics/

Thanks, that helped. The problem was it wasn't running as admin. Now that I've got the script working, though, I've noticed one of my phrases doesn't seem to work with the hotkey. I programmed the script so when I press Ctrl+L it types this; ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). This works on skype and other things, but in select games it types something like this; (? ? ?). I thought at first that the game simply didn't support those characters, but then I saw someone else type it, leading me to believe it's something to do with the way I set up the script.

Show us what you have got so far.

It might be that some of the characters are not accepted, are you able to manually type it in?

Ok, so I have no idea how to get the specific keys that you are wanting to send but the "²" is a similar thing that you might want to send. This is done by Alt253.
Try something like this:

Code: Select all

numpad0:: send, {alt down}{numpad2}{numpad5}{numpad3}{alt up}

Code: Select all

Send, {alt down}253{alt up}

will not work because you are then sending the numbers from the row of keys at the top of the keyboard and not the numberpad. These special keys can only be sent from the numberpad.
