keypress every second?

[TheShiz]

is there a way to make a program think you are pressing a key over and over again every second? maybe a program that would do this? I tried google and couldn't find anything.

What would you need this for?

well, in morrowind your skills increase if you sit there jumping over and over again, or if you sit there walking into a wall forever. The wall one is easy, all you have to do is put a weight on the forward key, the jumping one is more tricky, i tried chainging the typematic rate and the keypress rate in win2k but that didn't work. trying to get it to work I wondered if someone made a program that can do this.

heh - you want to cheat... and you're asking for a program to do it for you? You can't have your cake and eat it too...

I don't really care, i don't even play the game, one of my roommates was telling me how stupid it is that when you keep jumping your skill increases, it just made me wonder if it can be done. It seems you can write code to do such a thing. I just think it all is pretty funny.

riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

Absolutely, quite simple really. Are you a programmer?

You'd need to call CreateTimer() to get your WM_TIMER message every second (1000ms to CreateTimer()). You'll need to GetWindow() to get the handle to the appropriate window that will receive the keypress message. Then, you simply SendMessage() to the window in question with a WM_KEYDOWN message and a WPARAM containing the ascii code of the key you want.

I'll probably write up an example later this evening for fun. I'll post back when I do...

anyone? I'm not a big RPG fan, the only one RPG I ever beat was Chrono Trigger, and that was I don't even know how long ago.

I took a year of programming in Visual Basic, and a little C++ and java. We didn't do anything like this though, an example would be cool.
