How do you use a keypress and keep the key pressed

[Ben M]

I am trying to create a macro for a game and need to move forward for 2 seconds, jump, and then backwards for 4 seconds.

The macro is something like this:

1 | 1072 | 1040 | 3736 | Keypress w

2 | 865 | 440 | 889 | Keypress space

3 | 1112 | 1038 | 848 | Keypress s

But what I think it's doing is a single key down/up for w, then space, then s.

Is there a way to signal that 'w' should be pressed for 2 seconds, then press space (which can just be an instant key down/up) and then press 's' for 4 seconds?

Thanks for any assistance!

Key Down/Key Up is the way to go for this

1 | 1072 | 1040 | 3736 | Keypress w | Key Down
1 | 1072 | 1040 | 2000 | Keypress w | Key Up
2 | 865 | 440 | 100 | Keypress space
3 | 1112 | 1038 | 100 | Keypress s | Key Down
4 | 1112 | 1038 | 4000 | Keypress s | Key Up

Line 1 - 'w' down
Line 2 - 'w' up after 2 seconds
Line 3 - 'space' 100 ms after
Line 4 - 's' down
Line 5 - 's' up after 4 seconds

This post (minimousemacro.proboards.com/thread/205/multi-key-pressing) has another example.
Hope this helps!

Does this work with modifier keys such as shift or alt?

No unfortunately not. Modifier keys such as shift and alt are treated differently in MMM.
