I am having a problem to trigger macros when inside a certain game. I have tryed start the macro in windows and then quickly alt+tab back to the game, and then the macro runs just fine inside the game. The problem seemes to be that macroscheduler cant catch my hotkey keystroke when inside the game. If someone knows how to solve my problem i would be wary glad.
Ps: sorry for my bad spelling and gramar but i hope you understand what i mean

You wanna start a macro while the focus is on the game?
I assume there's a condition which is your trigger to start the macro.
So create a macro which runs "standby" and checks itself if the condition is meet (to confirm the AskPrompt is the Hotkey equivalent).
Code: Select all
Let>GameTitle=Leisure Suite Larry
Let>HealthBarXCoord=100
Let>HealthBarYCoord=80
Let>MortalColor=255
WindowAction>1,Leisure Suite Larry
Label>CheckHealthStatus
GetPixelColor>%HealthBarXCoord%,%HealthBarYCoord%,result
If>result=%MortalColor%,LetsAsk,CheckHealthStatus
Label>LetsAsk
Ask>Wanna stay alive?,answer
If>answer=YES,DoSomethingClever,CheckHealthStatus
Label>DoSomethingClever
