So I have a laptop which doesn't have a number pad, which makes item usage a little bit hard.

I downloaded the autohotkey program that let you write some simple script, what I'm interested in is re-mapping the numPad keys over to normal letter keys.

Now I want to able to toggle the mapping on/off during game, so when I talk I don't talk numbers.

Here's the attempt:


toggleOn = 0
9::
if toggleOn = 1
{
d::Numpad8
g::Numpad5
v::Numpad2
o::Numpad1
toggleOn = 0
}
if toggleOn = 0
{
toggleOn = 1
}


The idea is we map the key "9" into the following expression that does the work. But it doesn't work. Instead I find my keys always mapped T+T

Any help would be great : )

Life is run, it is dance, it is fast, passionate and BAM!, you dance and sing and booze while you can for now is the time and time is mine. Smile and laugh when still can for now is the time and soon you die!

It's because your second conditional is always true. You're setting toggleOn to 0 and then checking if it's 0, and since it is, it's set to 1.


toggleOn = 0
P::
if toggleOn = 1
{
d::Numpad8
g::Numpad5
v::Numpad2
o::Numpad1
toggleOn = 0
}
else
{
toggleOn = 1
}


I'm not sure this does what you want anyway. I think you need to clear the bindings when you toggle it off...
Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that’s the end of you.

Ohh, nice catch. Let me try it your way.

I can maybe store the binding in the other numPads, then swap it back in the else, lolol... gimme some time

Apparently the binding is permanent, when I tried to do
d::a
d::b

it says "duplicate hotkey", which probably means you can only assign it once...

Oh well, thx for the catch anyways, I write a lot of
if (pred)
return blahblah

statements, and never occured the ifs can run over each other ha! thanks a lot!

toggleOn = 0
9::
if toggleOn = 0
{
d::Numpad8
g::Numpad5
v::Numpad2
o::Numpad1
toggleOn = 1
}
else
{
Hotkey, *d, off
Hotkey, *g, off
Hotkey, *v, off
Hotkey, *o, off
toggleOn = 0
}


I think that does what you want.

Hmm I tried yours, it says
"Hotkey nonexistent, specifically "d" "
hmmm

Actually, if I just copy/paste your code, "9" does nothing and the binding remains
if I flip the initialization of toggleOn to 0 instead of 1, it gives the above error message

wierd!

Yeah, I forgot you need asterisks. I tested it and it's really screwy and doesn't work at all haha.

I think we first assigned Numpad8 to d

then we killed it's de-referenced value with "off"

so d never came back, so I can't type d anymore haha

Also I think it's bad to do
9::

as it binds 9 to something weird, in my case 9 got binded to 8

using this at the moment, 9 doesn't toggle at all :/

toggleOn = 0

if (GetKeyState("9"))
{
if toggleOn = 0
{
d::Numpad8
g::Numpad5
v::Numpad2
o::Numpad1
toggleOn = 1
}
else
{
Hotkey, *d, off
Hotkey, *g, off
Hotkey, *v, off
Hotkey, *o, off
toggleOn = 0
}
}

I already had AHK help open from when I was working on a script earlier. Good timing.

This is a classic. You need to check if the button is being held, or if it has been released. I'm going to mash up something in pseduo-code because I don't know AHK.

I don't know if this is clear so what it's supposed to do is:
When you press the button, it should set the released flag to false. Now, when you release the button again, both has_been_released, and keystate(*button*) should be false, and thus change the state of our "lightswitch" / whatever.

Oh, and you could've posted it here for more replies, I think.
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=134491

Edit: Oh, and I forgot to add, but you obviously need a
if(state == 1) { do whatever with hotkeys here }.


var has_been_released = true
var state = 0


for(ever) //insert infinite loop here
{
if (keystate(*button*) == true)
{
has_been_released = false
}
if (keystate(*button*) == false && has_been_released == false)
{
has_been_released = true
if (state == 1)
{
state = 0
}
if (state == 0)
{
state = 1
}
}
}

Why not use this http://warkeys.sourceforge.net/ to change the keys permanently?

I'm sure there are existing solutions, but it can be fun coding :p
