AHK & Windows 10, scripts not working in fullscreen games

[risker]

I'm having issues after upgrading to Windows 10, I have a script for SA:MP. (GTA:SA Multiplayer) Its a fullscreen game. I've tried running the exe file in compatibility mode but the launder crashes whenever the exe is using any compatibility settings.

At first I thought it was maybe due to #ifWinExist/Active but that works fine in text editors. But it won't work in any of my old fullscreen games (Warcraft III & GTA:SA).

Next I decided to try the SA:MP script without these, but still no luck. Scripts are working fine in a text editor but when fullscreen game is activated, nothing works. It may be sendinput that isn't working.

Any suggestions?

Example code that isn't working in the game.

Code: Select all

#IfWinExist, Warcraft III
WheelUp::
Sendinput, {Up down}
sleep, 200
Sendinput, {Up up}
return

XButton1::
Sendinput, {Numpad8}
return
XButton2::
Sendinput, {Numpad7}
return

MButton::
Sendinput, {F1}{F1}
return

^Q::
Sendinput, Q
sleep 5
Sendinput, {click}
return

^W::
Sendinput, W
sleep 5
Sendinput, {click}
return

^E::
Sendinput, E
sleep 5
Sendinput, {click}
return

^R::
Sendinput, R
sleep 5Q
Sendinput, {click}
return

^T::
Sendinput, T
sleep 5
Sendinput, {click}
return

WheelDown::
Sendinput, {Down down}
sleep, 200
Sendinput, {Down up}
return

+LButton::
Send, !{click}
Send, !{click}
Send, !{click}
Sendinput, {enter}[PING]: Retreat from here{!}{enter}
Return

!LButton::
Send, !{click}
Send, !{click}
Sendinput, {enter}[PING]: Attack here{!}{enter}
Return

AFAIK something changed in windows 10 re: sending input to admin processes.
Have you tried running the script as admin?

Yeah that fixed it, I had to compile the script and run it as admin. Thanks Evil.

In-case anyone else has this issue, refer to this post for information on how to work around/with UAC/Admin.

You can get the script to run as admin without compiling.

I use this code, but IIRC there is an easier way to do it now, might wanna ask around

Code: Select all

	run_as_admin(){
		Global 0
		IfEqual, A_IsAdmin, 1, Return 0
		Loop, %0% {
			params .= A_Space . %A_Index%
		}
		DllCall("shell32\ShellExecute" (A_IsUnicode ? "":"A"),uint,0,str,"RunAs",str,(A_IsCompiled ? A_ScriptFullPath
			: A_AhkPath),str,(A_IsCompiled ? "": """" . A_ScriptFullPath . """" . A_Space) params,str,A_WorkingDir,int,1)
		ExitApp
	}

Thanks, yea was having the same issue on Win10, script would work fine on desktop but when entering a game it didn't register, tab out and works fine, go back nadda. Ran as admin and works as it should.
