Making chat messages repeat every ten minutes

[braigwen]

I have several hot keys for the Twitch chat I mod for, but I have one that I would like to repeat every ten minutes. Is there a way I can do that?

Code: Select all

f10::send, Any and all thelorMan schedule questions can be answered by http://lorerunner.com/ If you're on moble, make sure you aren't zoomed in. Bookmark it for easy answers to all your stream questions.{Enter}

Code: Select all

Msg := "Any and all thelorMan schedule questions can be answered by http://lorerunner.com/ If you're on mobile, make sure you aren't zoomed in. Bookmark it for easy answers to all your stream questions."
SetTimer, Reminder,% 1000 * 60 * 10   ; every 10 minutes (1000ms x 60 = 1min x 10 = 10min)
Return

Reminder:
   #IfWinActive <chatID>   ; click on this command to get further info about its parameter
   ; ControlFocus, ...
   Send, %Msg% {Enter}
   #IfWinActive
   Return

Not tested.

Why the directive #Ifwinactive? I don't see any hotkeys or hotstrings... Perhaps the command IfWinActive instead?

Return

Reminder:
   #IfWinActive <chatID>   ; click on this command to get further info about its parameter
   ; ControlFocus, ...
   Send, %Msg% {Enter}
   ; ControlSend, ... better to use this instead 
   #IfWinActive
   Return

Not tested.

Question:
1) Why is there a % before 1000 * 60 * 10?
2) IfWinActive or #IfWinActive? as mentioned.
3) Why is there a second IfWinActive after send %Msg%?

thanks

1) [ % ]
2) IfWinActive would have been correct bc you don't use a hotkey anymore
3) check the AHK help for the reason (as advised within the codebox above)

The program has accepted the code, yet it doesn't post the message at all. Is there something special I have to do? I can't make heads or tails of the walkthroughs. Total newbie.

I figured it out.
