Send keys output varies between computers

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hello everyone,

I'm writing a script for a game I'm playing, and on my desktop computer, it runs flawlessly. However, after running it on two different laptops, I'm noticing the Send Keys function is skipping inputs (which results in my character walking into walls).

Current parameters:
Send keys to: UI element
UI element: game
send text: wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww(etc.)
Delay between keystrokes: 10
Send Text as hardware keys: enabled

At first I thought it might be a resource limitation, but the laptops never reach more than 80% RAM usage, and the CPU and GPU are under 50%.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bonus question 1 : I want to know if there is any way to send two non special/modifier keys at once, like pressing w+d at the same time to walk the character diagonally. Currently, I'm running wdwdwdwdwd, and the movement is very janky.

Bonus question 2: Is there a way to repeat single key presses in a more concise way? {w:99} doesn't seem to work like I thought it would.
