Keep pressing key while mousebutton is held down

[nonvenomous]

Hey guys,
I'm trying to figure this out on my own since longer than I would like to admit. Even as an ahk noob I was always able to achieve what I wanted to do but I think this time I need some help.

My goal is that while I'm holding down the LButton that the left arrow keeps sending left commands as long as LButton is pressed just like it would if I pressed left direct physically. That's pretty much all.
It's for a reaction based game which is usually played with the left and right arrow keys and I would like to play with the mouse buttons instead.

I played around with GetKeyState & KeyDown but it either only spams left/right uncontrollably in an infinite loop or only once.

This is probably quite straight forward and simple but I just can't get it to work.
I hope anyone can push me into the right direction. Thanks in advance.

Hallo,
try:

Code: Select all

LButton::Left
F2::Suspend

F2 toggles Remapping on/off

Already tried that. Apparently for normal keys that's good enough but for mouse buttons it doesn't work.
It ends up just clicking once.

Code: Select all

LButton::
While (GetKeyState, "LButton", "P")
Send {left}
Return

can u explain in simple steps how u want the program to behave cuz

while I'm holding down the LButton that the left arrow keeps sending left commands as long as LButton is pressed just like it would if I pressed left direct physically.

is ambiguous.

it sounds like u want to repeatedly send {Left} down+up events, while LMB is held down, but i cant be too sure:

Code: Select all

LButton::SetTimer SendLeft, 10
LButton Up::SetTimer SendLeft, Off

SendLeft:
	Send {Left}
return

Code: Select all

LButton::
While (GetKeyState, "LButton", "P")
Send {left}
Return

When I use this the LButton doesn't do anything.

Maybe I wasn't as clear as I hoped. I want my remap work just like it would as if I pressed and held the arrow key physically.
But instead pressing/holding the arrow key I want to use the mouse buttons.
I know this explanation still isn't great neither but I think you already understood what I'm trying to do by the script you sent.

Code: Select all

LButton::SetTimer SendLeft, 10
LButton Up::SetTimer SendLeft, Off

SendLeft:
 Send {Left}
return

This script is closer than I ever got. It reacts on how long I press the mouse button but when I tested it in game for some reason I can't turn as fast as I can with pressing the arrow key physically. Also even after I let go of the mouse button the game still thinks I'm holding it down.

Is there a way to improve the script to get the L/RButtons behave more like the arrow keys?

try this:

Code: Select all

*LButton::Send {Blind}{Left Down}
*LButton Up::Send {Blind}{Left Up}

This one only sends a single left arrow command no matter how long I keep LMB pressed.

Code: Select all

#NoEnv
#SingleInstance Force
SendMode Input
SetBatchLines -1
#InstallMouseHook
#UseHook On

Loop
{
	if GetKeyState("LButton", "P")
		Send {Left}	
	else if GetKeyState("RButton", "P")
		Send {Right}	
	else
		Sleep 20
}

Esc::ExitApp
