Autorunning workaround using AutoHotKey v2

[TheWalrus057]

I have found a workaround for those who need an autorun key in Stalker 2. It uses AutoHotKey v2

-usage-
Autorunning can be started by pressing the caps lock, cancelled by pressing the w key (continuing to move) or by pressing caps lock again to stop. The script automatically exits after the game closes.

-instructions-
Download and install AutoHotKey v2, create an .ahk file and name it something like StalkerAutorun.ahk

Using your favorite editor (like notepad++) paste the code below into the script then save. Afterwards launch the script when the game loads (or when it is already loaded) and you will be off to the races.

-code- (do not include this line when copying)
; Initialize autorun state as a global variable
global autorun := false

; Define the game's process name (adjust if needed)
gameProcess := "stalker2.exe" ; Replace with the actual process name of the game

; Function to check if the game is running
IsGameRunning() {
global gameProcess
; ProcessExist returns the PID if the process exists, otherwise 0
return ProcessExist(gameProcess)
}

; Toggle Autorun with Caps Lock
*CapsLock::
{
; Declare autorun as global inside the hotkey block
global autorun
; Toggle the autorun state
autorun := !autorun
if (autorun) {
Send "{w down}" ; Hold down the W key for autorun
} else {
Send "{w up}" ; Release the W key to stop autorun
}
}

; Override W key to stop autorun if it's active
~w::
{
; Declare autorun as global inside the hotkey block
global autorun
if (autorun) {
autorun := false ; Disable autorun
; Do NOT release the W key here, so movement continues uninterrupted
}
}

; Monitor the game process and exit the script if the game is closed
SetTimer(CheckGameProcess, 5000) ; Check every 5 seconds

CheckGameProcess() {
if (!IsGameRunning()) {
; Release the W key if it's being held down
if (autorun) {
Send "{w up}"
}
ExitApp ; Close the script
}
}

which does no good cause the game has stamina system too

Running is not sprinting. :)

That looks way more advanced then my regular f::g
g::f sh*t to swap single hardcoded keys. ^^

it will still drain it in normal run mode if you carry more then the suit allows
