Help me cheat at videogames!

Aibyn

So as the title says, I require assistance in the circumventing of the normal style of play in a video game, i.e. to cheat!

I know the cheat code, that is not the issue, and the game runs fine on my PC. The trouble is that the effect the cheat has. When entered the cheat gives my side $100 for each time the cheat is entered. In other words if I wanted to amass $1000, I would have to input it in 10 times! This is much too much work and my fingers get tired.

So, my question is that is there any key macro/hot-key software out there that would assist me in my endeavor? I've attempted to use some on my own, but for the most part they either don't work or I don't understand the programming needed to accomplish my goal.

If anyone has a program they use and wouldn't mind giving me a quick tip on how to use it, that would be swell.

And if anyone has a better method of inputting the cheat, please feel free to post about that as well.

The cheat in question is the inputting of: Holding down the ALT key, typing "moola", without the quotation marks, and then releasing the ALT key.

If it helps the game in question is Master of Orion.

Thank you!

I've used AutoIt for things like this before.

I'm rusty and a bit drunk right now, but the script you're looking for would basically consist of a hotkey register line, a loop to watch for the hotkey which calls the function, and the function itself that consists of SendKey(^Alt) SendKey("moola") SendKey(^Alt) or something like that.

Get a trainer. It's basically a type of "cheat program" that will run in the background and let you cheat to your heart's content. Just google "Master of Orion trainer."

HotKeySet("`", "GiveMoney");
Func GiveMoney()
	local $x = 1;
	For $x = 1 to 10
		Send("{Alt down}")
		Send("moola")
		Send("{Alt up}")
	Next
EndFunc

That should do it for you in AutoIt, with ` set as the hotkey (yes, I know you said no quotation marks, thats how the functions work). I have the complied exe I could send as well.

You may need to, because I got nothing here. I Copy and Pasted your code into a script, tried to run it, but nothing happened. I tried to compile it, got another icon for an application but when i run it, nothing as well.

Could the problem be that i am running MoO through a dosbox front end? namely D-fend? I appreciate your help.

The script will flash up for a second on my computer and close too, sounds like Windows may have implemented something that prevents AutoIt from running properly. I'd suggest looking through the help file for any clues.
