Trouble with AHK not firing off

Lazy Macros
1

It works PERFECTLY most of the time but then every so often the keys all stop repeating. I can double click the script and replace the existing one that is running and it will work again for a short bit then stop working. It does this garbage for a day or two then back to working perfectly every time. This is the same basic script I use which I copied from here long ago. The only changes I did were different keys and speeds. Is everyone having this issue or just me? Any clues why? I have checked for all the latest updates and everything is current.

#ifWinActive World of Warcraft

$1::
While ( GetKeyState( “1”,“P” ) ) {
if GetKeyState(“LShift”,“p”) {
Send {LShift down}{1}{LShift up}
} else {
Send, {1}
}
Sleep, 250
}

return

Outside of your script does AHK have a pause combo setup?

3

i use this and it always works

*q::
loop,2
{
send {z}
}

4

Where would I put that?

5

No clue. Wouldn’t even have a clue where to look.

6

thats the entire script i use. super simple but it works for me. paste where you put the script.

7

Possibly an other window or application is taking top active window and this is causing it to stop?

#ifWinActive World of Warcraft

Maybe your letting go of the 1 key when pressing Left Shift?, these both need to be pressed

Doesnt seem to be anything wrong with the script so normal that means user or hardware issue

I don’t use any shift keys at all. No other windows or applications running accept the standard background ones.

Ok so now I’m really lost! I tried the script you posted and when I go to a blank document, it repeats the key until I let go. BUT… In Wow it doesn’t do ANYTHING except hit the key ONCE I doesn’t advance!

If I had any hair left I would be ripping it out now.
