Mass Key Release

[D.D.Harriman]

As part of making a command to "STOP ALL RUNNING COMMANDS" I would also like to release all currently pressed.

How would I do that.

[Pfeil]

If you execute the "Make VoiceAttack Stop Processing All Commands" action, all pressed keys should automatically be released.

Is there a key not releasing when you execute this action?

[D.D.Harriman]

If all the keys were releasing I would not have asked the question.

I am playing EDH and have evasive action macros in which I use "PRESS KEY" to start an action I want to be continuous  while several other timed key press then key release actions happen that give about a total 15 second delay and finish the macro with a "RELEASE KEY" for that first key.

If I use "Make VoiceAttack Stop Processing All Commands" in the middle of this macro, the first key stays down.

[Pfeil]

Can you post the contents of this command? Have you checked whether the keys are released if the command is forcibly stopped when not running the game?

" Have you checked whether the keys are released if the command is forcibly stopped when not running the game?"

Humnn. How would I run it so I could stop it outside of the game??

How would I run it so I could stop it outside of the game??

Open notepad and run the command, so the output is sent to notepad.

After you stop the command, run a command containing the following:

Code: [Select]

Write '[Blue] NUM1:{STATE_KEYSTATE:NUM1} NUM7:{STATE_KEYSTATE:NUM7} NUM+:{STATE_KEYSTATE:NUM+}' to logIf there's a "1" after any of those, the corresponding key is still pressed.


I replicated and tested your command, running it while sending the output to notepad doesn't leave any keys pressed after forcibly stopping the command.
I don't have Elite:Dangerous to test with, but it's possible the game is either interfering with, or not recognizing the key release.

What version of VA are you running, DD?

Pfeil reminded me that releasing ALL keys (not just modifiier keys) was put in v1.6.2 (relatively recent).

[D.D.Harriman]

Ok, Updated to latest release and the problem is solved..

Thanks.

[Gary]

Glad that works!  Pfeil solves all.

[D.D.Harriman]

I was really beginning to think the game was the problem. I had read the manual and it looked like the STOP PROCESSING ALL COMMANDS should also RELEASE ALL KEYS.

I had bought VA in January but didn't really start trying to work with it until last month, starting with simple things that only need at most a second to run and working up to things like I posted. Recognized I would need a kill command to get out of AUTOPILOT and wrote it and it wasn't working..

Now I can get real complex and long.
