emulating repetitive keys strokes

[Jakkson]

i use a game client and have for some try to emulate the forward and reverse movements when holding the keys down as i dont have any idea why your products has a problem with this i cannot provide any further info, except to say that i use another product and it perform the task.

I am hoping that with some discussion about this i will give me insight, my hope is that i can then use one product to do all my tasks, yours being my preferred choice, if i cant resolve this i will continue to use both products.

Hard to comment at all without some idea of what code you are using and what's not working. Are you trying to simulate holding a key down?

it is very simple w,s,a,d are the control keys for the client giving me forward, backward, left and right movement.

/* what i require is to hold w key down for x number of milliseconds
e.g.
send>w
wait>10
send>w

e.g.
Press w
wait>10
Release 10
I know this only works with non-character keys

the process is simple, but the implementation is proving impossible

to do what i require in the other product I use is simply the commands

Keyboard : W : KeyDown
DELAY : 5000(milliseconds)
Keyboard : W : KeyUp

I then can compile into an exe and run

I have scanned your information and have not found a viable solution if you say it cant be done I am fine with that, but i would like to use just one product and your is the most flexible

In Macro Scheduler 14.4 which was released yesterday you can use the HoldKey function:

//hold w for 500 milliseconds
HoldKey>w,500,0,0
