How to Code Your Own Macros | AHK

In this video I show you how you can use Autohotkey programming language to create your own scripts. These macro scripts are ideal to avoid hours of training to press a certain button combination or automate a tedious process.
This is the site where you can download AHK:

This is just a very simple starting guide. There is a lot more that you can do with AHK and some of it I will cover in future videos.

my left ear is hearing really well what your saying you know

[@jephq161]

tysm i kinda just reverse engineered what you did to use it for something else, but alot of other guides were not using like the send{} thing so it didnt work for me, still helping a year later!

[@AdamSchadow]

Yeah its really sad that there are not many guides for ahk.

This video was very helpful, Thanks!

[@elperrete69]

awesome tutorial man thx

[@zoteiscool2134]

This guide is very informative. Also, I saw you click File->Save, but there's a hotkey for that, you can just click ctrl+s which is a super useful thing when it comes to coding.

[@AdamSchadow]

ofc I know about ctrl+s but I rather dont use that when making a video.

[@zBPC]

Easier than i thought, subbed

[@TheDevourerOfGods]

So I got a very simple script working, but after a minute of running it, it was gone. I checked in my folder and it just deleted itself. EDIT: It was my damn Antivirus automatically deleting it. I had to change some settings so it wouldn't do that.

How do I create a macro that counts up from 1 (X+1)

[@c00l3r4]

alternatively, you can use while loops

You can use MouseMove command.

I tried to Macro something with Mousemovement involed in Minecraft,but when i try it out the sensitivity goes Nuts on my Homescreen the macro works completly fine but in Minecraft it just does not work any ideas why?

[@AdamSchadow]

The thing is converting the movement of a cursor in a 2d space to actual rotation of a character in 3d is not very simple so I would recommend you to at first try to just do it inside the minecraft menus like making a autocrafing scrip. All u need to do is give it the command to click at the right position and make sure the clicks are at least 50miliseconds long.

i want to make a script for when i press "c" it will send it to "2" then back to "c" but i think this creates an infinite loop or something so can i make this work?

[@AdamSchadow]

If you put $ infront of a hotkey like you see me do in some of my scripts it will not be able to trigger itself.

Can i make it HOLD DOWN 2 buttons at a time? If yes could you tell me how 😅

Yes ofc lets say you want to hold down a and b fo 3 seconds when you press c just do: c:: Send {a down} Send {b down} Sleep 3000 Send {a up} Send {b up}

hey man i have a problem with my code #Persistent SetTimer, CheckColor, 100 ; Set the timer to check every 100 milliseconds CheckColor: If GetKeyState("z", "P") ; Check if the 'z' key is pressed { ; Get the color of the middle of the screen PixelGetColor, color, % A_ScreenWidth // 2, % A_ScreenHeight // 2 ; Check if the color is not orange (adjust RGB values as needed) if !(color = 0xFFA500) { Click ; Press the left mouse button } } return im trying so when i press and hold the key z the script will look for the color orange if theres is the color orange on the middle of my screen nothing happens it keeps on searching until there isnt the color orange on my screen then it presses left click now my code just keeps on pressing left click repetedly il be glad if you could help

[@AdamSchadow]

There are multiple things wrong pls contact me on discord since this is not the best place to explain it all. Here is some pseudo code of how it should probably look like: maxthreads per hotkey 2 ; this prevents you from launching several instances for the one hotkey z:: PixelGetColor, color, % A_ScreenWidth // 2, % A_ScreenHeight // 2 if (color = 0xFFA500){ ; checks if the middle is orange while (color = 0xFFA500){ PixelGetColor, color, % A_ScreenWidth // 2, % A_ScreenHeight // 2 } ; this just does nothing when the middle is orange click } return

Use a loop.

[@skysvi]

how can i bind a key?

[@100Bucks]

Ahk is simple. if you wanted a to be be. You would write this in the code. a::b That simple, or if you wanted to merge keyboard keys together. Like control+alt+delete using the A key. a:: sendinput {control down} sendinput {alt down sendinput {delete} sendinput {control up} sendinput {alt up} return. That's how you merge keys together, but there's a problem with this. Each hotkey you use, you lose it for normal using. Example, a is being used to run the script. You can avoid this and not lose any keys with a different method. You can write a hold button script. I'll use shift as a hold button and a has a trigger button. #if getkeystate ("shift", "P") a:: sendinput {control down} sendinput {alt down} sendinput {delete} sendinput {control up} sendinput {alt up} return Only holding shift down and pressing a will trigger the script. Last method is using one single key to use multiple scripts with a Morse code method. Meaning if you press that key a certain amount of times, it triggers the script. I'll make a 2 to script example only using A key. Pressing a twice will trigger hi. Pressing a three times will trigger bye. Please forgive me if I write the script wrong and it doesn't work. This script is very hard to remember. a:: if(Mario > 0) { Mario += 1 } else { Mario := 1 } SetTimer, MarioBros, 400 return MarioBros: if(Mario = 2) { send hi } if(Mario = 3) { send bye } SetTimer, MarioBros, off Mario := 0 return Press a twice will trigger by, pressing a 3 times will trigger bye. This script is perfect for a USB foot pedal because you can put many script within this one key usage. Or if you had a 3 key or 2 key mini keyboard. This script I love the best because the amount of task is unlimited with 1 keyboard. You cannot duplicate this script and assigned to a different key. You would have to write a completely different script if you wanted another hotkey for multi purposes. To easily make a new hotkey. Copy and paste the script. Replace Mario with a different word. Replace MarioBros with a different word. Then assign your new hotkey at the top. Again, please forgive me if this script doesn't work. I always get an error on else. Best script ever.
