are there any LUA function to do a keyboard function?

forexample..
Code:

for i=1,totalUnits do
        writeInteger(currentAddress,valuesForEachUnit[i])
        currentAddress=currentAddress+0x8
     
       **keyboardpress("n") --pressing "n" is a hotkey in the game.
end


This way ,, when I copy a specific value to each unit. It ll automatic pressing botton "N" for each one . When "n" is a hotkey in a game to do something.

These might help
Code:


keyDown(key) : causes the key to go into down state
sleep(milliseconds)
keyUp(key) :causes the key to go up
doKeyPress(key) : simulates a key press

VK_N is the keycode to use
Note though that this does not work for all games. If that happens you could try a code injection in the game that does the n-key press internally when a specific address has value 1(which is set by your script)

This is a 5 year old post. I'm hoping that new information is available during that time.

I've tried the functions you mentioned DarkByte but they don't appear to be working with the game I'm working with.

If still the only option code injection. Could you please post a link that describes in detail how to inject code that does key presses internally.

Thank you
