Hey, this is the script that i am trying to use, tho its not working. Trying to change to WASD for movement, also Numpad0 witch usually activates the map i want as q instead, easier to reach. Also A witch is attack as you go change it to Capslock instead of A.

Code

#IfWinActive, Company Of Heroes

a::
Send, {Left down}
Keywait, a ; send once
Send, {Left up}
return

s::
Send, {Down down}
Keywait, s ; send once
Send, {Down up}
return

d::
Send, {Right down}
Keywait, d ; send once
Send, {Right up}
return

^!z::
WinSet, Style, -0xC40000, a
WinMove, a, , 0, 0, % A_ScreenWidth, % A_ScreenHeight

`::Suspend
Return


When i start the game, i press CTRL + ALT + Z. The border disappears, but the hotkeys dont activate. Anyone care to either help or share a hotkey set similar?

I also tried this
Code
#IfWinActive, Company Of Heroes

w::up
a::left
s::down
d::right
capslock::a
q::Numpad0

^!z::
WinSet, Style, -0xC40000, a
WinMove, a, , 0, 0, % A_ScreenWidth, % A_ScreenHeight

`::Suspend
Return


I am no coder, but i read about this in other forums and reddit. Thanks for the help.

Try getting rid of the commas after Send. Also, don't use WASD for camera movement. It's awful and inefficient.

You are missing "return" after the entire "^!z::" block. If you are willing to spend a bit more time on this then you could try to find the big 15+ page autohotkey thread at GR.org which contained a few different WASD camera movement scripts, complete with a working chat (your script requires suspending it every time).

@Inverse: what's so inefficient about that?

Minimap/tactical map movement is quicker, more precise, and leaves your hand free for hotkeys/control groups.

At long distances it indeed is and I doubt anyone uses WASD for that. However when you need to scroll just a little bit, say half of a screen, then I find it to work better than a mouse. Nothing really prevents you from using other hotkeys, you don't need to have your fingers glued to WASD all the time.

Thank you, that fixed the problem.

Only using this atm

Code

#IfWinActive, Company Of Heroes

XButton2::Numpad0
Return

^!z::
WinSet, Style, -0xC40000, a
WinMove, a, , 0, 0, % A_ScreenWidth, % A_ScreenHeight
Return

`::Suspend
Return


This is so that i can stream without the window borders, and also for minimap.

The reason why i wanted to use WASD is due to the window mode issue of using the mouse to scroll to the left or right side. When i slide my mouse to one of the edges, only up, down and the left edges actually work. The right one does not cause my mouse will move from 1 screen to the other. I am running 2 monitors. Any solutions for this? other than having to play on fullscreen that is.

Add -lockmouse to your launch parameters.

I believe AmiPolizeiFunk is talking about how sad it is that Relic is forcing us to mess around with these third party programs and add launch options to our game just to make it not suck. It's 2013, they should really have this stuff figured out.

My bad if thats what you mean. I have to agree with him on that. Never have i played a game, specially a strategy game that does not have hotkeys in the option.

First the positive: At least they offered a gridKey option which offers a reasonably intelligent hotkey layout... They threw us a bone after what 7-8 years?...

/rant

While great at making games I can't honestly believe any one of the head development team are hardcore RTS 'players'. RTS enthusiasts with mad developmental skillz, yes... but RTS 'players' second. We're all RTS players first so it's a not even a question

*Oh developers, please extract heads from thine asses and make CUSTOMIZABLE HOTKEYS the standard! Players have begged this for yrs.
