Rule for keyboardHold and key.VK_ALT

[el_dios85]

Hello,

I want to ask, when we do a multiclient, multiclient1 and multiclient2, multiclient1 have the function keyboardHold(key.VK_ALT), and then we switch to multiclient2, why the function keyboardHold(key.VK_ALT) dont work. If we go back to multiclient1 it works. I assume keyboardHold(key.VK_ALT) only work on active window. Is it true? Is there any way to make the function work in unactive window?

Thanks

You send it as the modifier to a key press.

Code: Select all

keyboardPress(key.VK_SOMETHING, key.VK_ALT);

I try keyboardPress(key.VK_1, key.VK_ALT);
and keyboardPress(key.VK_ALT, key.VK_1);
the error is the same.
182: Wrong number of parameters supplied to keyboardPress().

this is my code before
--keyboardHold(key.VK_ALT); -- The A key will be held down
--yrest(50);
--keyboardPress(key.VK_1);
--yrest(50);
--keyboardRelease(key.VK_ALT); -- The A key is now released
--keyboardBufferClear();

You're using an outdated version, then. Redownload.

Now I use micromacro v.1.0
It didnt work.

I have try
---------------
keyboardPress(key.VK_1, key.VK_ALT);
---------------
keyboardSetDelay(100);
keyboardPress( key.VK_V, key.VK_CTRL );
--In my game (Perfect World), it only write v on chat box, I already copy "0" so it must paste "0"
---------------

Is there any clue?

Thanks

I have try
---------------
keyboardPress(key.VK_ALT, key.VK_1);
---------------
keyboardPress(key.VK_1, key.VK_ALT);
---------------
keyboardSetDelay(100);
keyboardPress( key.VK_V, key.VK_CTRL );
--Still write "v"

Code: Select all

keyboardPress(key.VK_V, key.VK_CONTROL)

This should do it. If not, then it's a problem with the way the game was programmed, I think.

[el_dios85]

keyboardPress(key.VK_V, key.VK_CONTROL); --This work but
keyboardPress(key.VK_V, key.VK_ALT) -- dont work
keyboardPress(key.VK_V, key.VK_LALT) -- dont work
keyboardPress(key.VK_V, key.VK_RALT) -- dont work

so the function keyboardHold is active on active window only and not active on multiclient that unactive?
Is that right?

keyboardHold() works in attached mode, but not with modifiers. You can hold VK_CONTROL, VK_ALT, and VK_SHIFT, but it doesn't always work with key combinations. That is, holding VK_ALT and pressing A will not necessarily result in ALT+A. This entirely depends on how the game's input handler was programmed.

What is ALT+V supposed to do, anyways? Have you tried using VK_MENU instead of VK_ALT?

[el_dios85]

I'm sory I mean keyboardPress(key.VK_1, key.VK_ALT).

ALT + 1 is the shortcut for attack monster.

thanks

Hello, may I ask again?
In my game the function
=====================================================
--code1
keyboardHold(key.VK_ALT); -- The A key will be held down
yrest(50);
keyboardPress(key.VK_1);
yrest(50);
keyboardRelease(key.VK_ALT); -- The A key is now released
keyboardBufferClear();
===================================================== work
--code2
keyboardPress(key.VK_1, key.VK_ALT); -- didnt work
--code3
keyboardPress( key.VK_V, key.VK_CTRL ); -- work

Is there any possiblilities code1 work and code2 didnt work?

That is entirely because of the way the game reads input. Holding ALT and then using keyboardPress() does not generate a ALT+key message as only the key was sent (while the ALT hold was separate). There's nothing that can be done about that.

In the second example, try using key.VK_MENU instead of key.VK_ALT with the attached executable.

Thank you, I have try VK_MENU and it didnt work. But I think the problem is from the game. I want to start a new topic about Mouse Control. see you
