Simple question

[Jambaman]

What would be the code make my script hold down a button, the left arrow key, for a certain amount of time, 1 second?

Can you please be a bit more specific and tell us what you try to achieve? Which program do you try to automate?

So we can suggest a solution.

Send ("LEFT") for 1 second

^ Holding down the left arrow key for 1 second

The question was: Why do you need to hold down the left arrow key for a second?

[JohnOne]

Send ("{LEFT DOWN}")
Sleep(1000)
Send ("{LEFT UP}")

[Jambaman]

Send ("{LEFT DOWN}")
Sleep(1000)
Send ("{LEFT UP}")

Cheers mate

It's hard to explain

You should give it a go, like water says there will probably be better solutions than sending keys.

Well im running it in a game and in the interface I need to turn the camera, and to achieve that I need to press the left key or the right key, and I only want it to press it for a second

You have two posts now, one in which you come right out and state it is for a game, and the other that looks a lot like game automation though you never state it. Please read the forum rules, especially the part about game automation before posting again.

P.S. Too bad there is nothing in the rules about how pathetic it is to have to use scripts to cheat at games

I have already reported this thread so a Mod will soon take care of it.
