While loop when button is held down

10 Jul 2018, 13:06

Just a little something I'm working on... not quite sure why this isn't working. I want to send the series of commands while the button is held down.

Code: Select all

XButton2::
{
	while GetKeyState XButton2
	{
		Send \
		Sleep 250
		Send q
		Sleep 6
		Send q
		Sleep 150
	}
}
return

Code: Select all

XButton2::
{
	while (GetKeyState("XButton2", "p"))
	{
		Send \
		Sleep 250
		Send q
		Sleep 6
		Send q
		Sleep 150
	}
}
return

Thanks! Any idea why we had to specify the physical state of the mouse side button?

Hallo,
with a Tilde you don't need the physical state:

Code: Select all

~XButton2:: ;XButton's native function will not be blocked!
	while GetKeyState("XButton2")
	{
		Send \
		Sleep 250
		Send q
		Sleep 6
		Send q
		Sleep 150
	}
return
