How can I walk automatically in games that don't support it?
Some games, such as Dear Esther or The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, might not provide an auto-run key binding and I have to hold down W key for the whole duration of my walking/running.
Is there a way to force the auto-run feature in games that don't natively support it?
Best Answer
The W key can be held down by an AutoHotkey script instead of using one's own finger, e.g.: https://github.com/Aprillion/banished_utils/blob/master/toggle_w.ahk
; press back mouse button to hold down W, press again to release W
~XButton1::
if (w) {
SendInput {w up}
w := 0
} else {
SendInput {w down}
w := 1
}
Return
; release W when S or W are pressed manually (i.e. stop auto running)
; no need for SendInput {w up} when W itself is pressed,
; but we need to set w := 0 after either S or W are pressed (=> no Return after ~s::)
~s::
SendInput {w up}
~w::
w := 0
Return
