i need some help modifying a script

[iekgaa]

hello everybody,

i need a script that presses Z every 0,25 seconds for as long as i hold it,
after looking around on the forums this is the only thing i could find.

Code: Select all

$Z::
  While GetKeyState("Z","P")
    Send, {Z}
Return

the thing is, this spams the Z key way to fast. can anybody change the script so it does what i need it to do,
thanks for the help in advance.

kind regards,
iekgaa

 	 }
	Return

Very nice
so the sleep 250 stands for 250ms,
also if i want to use this script for more keys is it best to just copy paste or is there a way to make it cleaner,
the keys i want to use are:
qwert
asdf
zxcv

kind regards,
iekgaa

Lots of different ways it could be done. depending on how you want the keys sent, in what order, how fast to send them, how you want them grouped, All scripts are a work in progress. None is ever really finished because there are always ways to improve it or adapt it to new situations. This is where the AutoHotkey Help file and this forum board come in so handy. You can learn a lot from the people here. But, in the end it's all about what YOU do. Coding is not a spectator sport. It's an active, ongoing, education. To really learn you have to do scripting, not just see it done.
