@ownagelord123 What operating system are you running?

[tibiaowned1]

hey please answer,! does anyone know a script that try all the keywords on the computer, totaly random (example: if we only have five keywords on our computer , like 12345. then the script will try them all. like 12345,54321,24531 etc.

@tibiaowned1 I don't really understand what you mean. Give me an example of a situation where you would use it and I might be able to tell you how to do it.

Any way to make it go faster?

[TheMacInTheTosh]

@JulietBader If you mean less time between keystrokes, simply set the "delay number" after the "keystroke" to a lower number. Be aware, however, that if that number is set too low, or if the command is absent, you will have to restart your computer because it will freeze.

what app did u use to make this vid?

[Colinowww]

I changed it a bit cuz i wanted to use it as auto spammer ;)

it takes 3 seconds to say "hello world" again.

i made it that you can choose how long it takes:

instead of: 'delay 3', put in:

delay (display dialog "How Fast Does It Need To Appear? (1-5)" default answer "")

thumbs up if it worked and so others can see!

[TechExpertHD]

@tibiaowned1 Yeah, I know how to do this, PM me and I'll tell you.
