Solution to AHK sending too many events when holding down a mouse button? - autohotkey

Question

When using three different methods of holding down the left mouse button:
Mouseclick, left, 0, 0, 1, , D, R
or
Send {LButton down}
or
Click down
the game I'm making a macro for logs me out complaining that I'm sending too many actions. I tested this by itself as a script, like:
F3::
Click down
return
So there's no chance other code is causing it.
I was wondering if there are any settings I can use (by settings I mean like CoordMode, Mouse, Screen) or any other solution to perhaps prevent whatever rapid event sending AHK is using to simulate a mouse button being held down. Is there any possible fix I can try? I'm open to testing any ideas.

Answer 1

Well, you could introduce a Sleep like so:
LButton::
while (GetKeyState("LButton", "P"))
{
MouseClick, left
Sleep, 100
}
return
Though I personally dislike binding the mouse click to behaviours via the same mouse click, as it can lead to results that are difficult to get out of.
Here's an example with a toggleable hotkey.
Insert::
SendInput, {LButton Down}
loop
{
Sleep, 100
if getkeystate("Insert", "p") ; Hold for a second as the Sleep will delay recognition.
{
SendInput, {LButton Up}
break
}
}
return
Edited per the comments:
Insert::
SendInput, {LButton Down}
KeyWait, Insert, D
SendInput, {LButton Up}
return
