I need help with Controlsend

[Bunny_fairfax]

Hello there! I'm having some troubles with the controlsend in a game

What i'm trying to do is: sending a bunch of {space} in a game while it is minimized/unfocused

Here's the code i came up with

Code: Select all

#NoEnv                        
SetKeyDelay, 30, 100,


WinGet, swbpid, PID, STAR WARS Battlefront II
Winget, swbid, ID, STAR WARS Battlefront II
WinGetClass, swbclass, STAR WARS Battlefront II
msgbox, class is %swbclass% pid is %swbpid% and Id is %swbid% ,, just for informations and testing


$*F12::Reload ,,  pauses the script
return

$*F11::
if (enable := !enable)
  setTimer, MoveAround, -1
return

MoveAround:
while enable
{
  ifWinExist, ahk_id %swbid%
  {
    SetKeyDelay, 30, 100,
    ControlSend, , {space}, ahk_id %swbpid%
    Sleep, 140
    Random, r, 1000, 5000
    Sleep r
  }
}
return

The thing is, no keystroke is sent....
I know my script is trash and all, but idk why it's not working, it worked in other games! anyone to help please? maybe i'm doing something wrong

Some possibilities:
- Run AHK in admin mode.
-

Code: Select all

ControlSend, ahk_parent, {Space}, ahk_id %swbpid%

-

Code: Select all

ControlGetFocus, vCtlClassNN, ahk_id %swbpid%
ControlFocus, % vCtlClassNN, ahk_id %swbpid% ;this probably won't change the active window
ControlSend, % vCtlClassNN, {Space}, ahk_id %swbpid%
