Making an "auto run" key on my Logitech G series keyboard

[Walter Matthau]

Can someone help me write a script to toggle Shift+W on a G-key for my Logitech keyboard?
I found one for "W" but not "Shift+W", and don't understand the language necessary to add it.

Of course, it would be ideal if the devs would just add one to the game, but we make do.


EDIT!!! SOLVED! TWICE!

Thanks to StormWeaker for his script

I found this solution on the Logitech website

It works perfectly for W, but not Shift+W, and I'm not sure how to add it.

If you or someone else still want the script i changed it so it works with Shift+W :

(tested in .txt file but should work in ARK or any game)

function OnEvent(event, arg, family)
if event == "G_PRESSED" then -- this is for when the G key is pressed
if arg == 1 then -- 1 is the G key number tested
toggle = not toggle -- This changes the toggle state back and forth
if toggle then
PressKey(0x36, 0x11)
else
ReleaseKey(0x11, 0x36)
end
end
end
end

This does a great job, and/but it toggles shift with every other press, necessitating multiple clicks to turn on/off run. Thank you StormWeaker


Also thanks to Abusive for pointing out that Right Shift will toggle run, allowing the older script to be used (credit Skylaw from the Logitech forums for this script)



function OnEvent(event, arg)

if (event=="G_PRESSED" and arg==3) then

if (toggle==null) then

PressKey(0x11);

toggle=1;

elseif (toggle==1) then

ReleaseKey(0x11);

toggle=nil;

end

end

end




This script toggles "W" with G3. used with a press of Right shift, and your bird will take you straight across the map.

Thanks for all the help ARK forum!

Well, I was going off of what the OP said.

I found one for "W" but not "Shift+W"

Armed with the information that he had found a way to automatically hold W down, I provided him with the missing piece, the shift aspect.

[Walter Matthau]

You're right Abusive.
I wasn't aware that Right Shift would toggle run. It's good to know, and it is relevant to this thread. Thank you.

oooohhh, I hadn't put those two together. that actually make perfect sense.
you've earned an honorable mention in the edit!

Hehehe. Have yourselves a nice day!

This doesn't seem to work for me at all. I'm playing Sniper Elite 4. I've tried about half a dozen different scripts but none of them are working.

[Stormweaker]

Do the scripts work in a .txt file (open a new file with the notepad and start the script, if it outputs what is needed (like a lot of 'z') then the script works) ? If yes then the part might be on Sniper Elite not getting the key presses from the script, so you'd have to tweak a bit or search for something working in this particular game.
If not then I might take a look at the script, but the one I posted was working in ARK if I remember correctly.

Obviously there are still people who try to solve this autowalk srcipt for Ark.
Here is my working script

function OnEvent(event, arg, family)
  if event == "G_PRESSED" then
    if arg == 11 then 
      toggle = not toggle -- This changes the toggle state back and forth
      if toggle then
        PressKey("w")
        PressAndReleaseKey("rshift")
        -- From here status-messages are send to G19 display
        ClearLCD ()
        OutputLCDMessage("AutoWalk ON")
        OutputLCDMessage("Speed ON")
        OutputLCDMessage("", 5000)
      else
        ReleaseKey("w")
        PressAndReleaseKey("rshift")
        -- From here status-messages are send to G19 display
        ClearLCD ()
        OutputLCDMessage("AutoWalk OFF")
        OutputLCDMessage("Speed OFF")
        OutputLCDMessage("", 3000)
      end
    end
  end
end

This code binds it self to G11. Of course you are free to change the keynumber to bind this toggle behavior in line 3.

Enjoy

function OnEvent(event, arg)
    OutputLogMessage("event = %s, arg = %s\n", event, arg)


if (event=="MOUSE_BUTTON_PRESSED" and arg==4) then
if (toggle0==null) then
PressKey("w");
toggle0=1;
else
ReleaseKey("w");
toggle0=nil;
end
end



if (event=="MOUSE_BUTTON_PRESSED" and arg==5) then
if (toggle1==null) then
PressKey("lshift");
PressKey("w");
toggle1=1;
else
ReleaseKey("lshift");
ReleaseKey("w");
toggle1=nil;
end
end



end

w and lshift +w.

Replace arg==4/5 with mouse key. see bottom log in Script editor.

unassign key if needed

Got a friend to help me out on this sorry to revitalize an old thread but here we go. Works perfectly in ark and most games.


This will map it to G1 on the game board


autorunGKey = 1
toggleRun = true

function OnEvent(event,arg,family)
if event == "G_PRESSED" and arg == autorunGKey then
toggleRun = not toggleRun
if toggleRun then
PressKey("lshift")
PressKey("w")
else
ReleaseKey("w")
ReleaseKey("lshift")
end
end
end

I'll give it a try. Thanks Syee.

So I wanted this for atlas and I wanted to keep the default KB control set up, so tweaked the script to this...

function OnEvent(event, arg)
if (event=="G_PRESSED" and arg==17) then
if (toggle==null) then
PressKey(0x11, 0x2A);
toggle=1;
elseif (toggle==1) then
ReleaseKey(0x11, 0x2A);
toggle=nil;
end
end
end

Works grate thanks.

After trying to understand the "G-seriesLuaAPI.pdf"

The problem I'm having is my "M key's" (On a G13) are set up to do different things and this script takes over all "G17" key when in M2 and M3. I just want this working when I'm in M1 mode. I don't code and have some exp with target by thrustmaster.

I'm trying stuff like...

if {current_mkey = 1} then

if (current_mkey = GetMKeyState“lhc”) 1 then

With added "end" commands


Hope somone can help.

autorunGKey = 1

toggleRun = not toggleRun
if toggleRun then
PressKey("lshift")

ReleaseKey("lshift")

end
end

This works great for me, DayZ Autowalk. Thanks everone.

Interesting that that didnt work. Perhaps output key register values when in different m modes to see how it works; it could just have a separate m value, could add values to all other keys, or have separate tables for each m mode.

Given the get m state function exists it seems it's the first.

You said you changed what your M keys do. Did you perhaps change them to do something other than swap modes?

Also, the value of the m key when in mode one could easily be zero.
