I'm trying to write a script that presses two keys at the same time when my pointer has a certain value.

For example,
If the value in pointer is 1000, send inputs a and b.

I have little scripting experience and I'm looking for the best way to do this. Lua, ahk, or another method?

The key presses need to be able to be detected by the active game window.

Any info helps

Create a timer or thread (createTimer/createThread)
in there poll the value of the pointer (AddressList.getMemoryRecordByDescription('xxx').Value)
Then if the value matches make the keys go down (keyDown(virtualkeycode) for each key)
Wait a bit for the game to pick that up (sleep for 100 ms or so)
and then release the key (keyUp(virtualkeycode))

So I have basically no experience with lua or any scripting for that matter, so this attempt probably looks silly, but this is what I manged to scrape together looking at the lua wiki.

local timer = createTimer(getMainForm())
timer.Interval = 100
timer.OnTimer = function(timer)
AddressList.getMemoryRecordByDescription('MyActiveFrames').Value)
if Value == 1000
keyDown(0x41)(0x42)
Sleep 100
keyUp (0x41)(0x42)
end

I'm sure there's things wrong with syntax, how I define the 'value' I want read, etc. Absolute beginner here

you get the value in Value by doing
