Well, these are not really hotkeys, right?
This is just a code that checks for specific keys every now and then.
Anyway, since you went this way, you should put in else statements to control the flow, so it skips everything once the right key was found and you should also make sure the code can finish up before the next timer tick (or maybe run in a separate thread?).

I'm not certain, but your incredibly inefficient code doesn't help.
Every call to read*/write* is an API call to ReadProcessMemory/WriteProcessMemory. This gets expensive if you make a lot of calls in a loop.
Try to minimize the number of read*/write* calls you make each iteration. Better code flow can help ("elseif" is a thing in Lua), as well as caching things like symbol lookups (especially pointer paths) and values:
| Code: | local addr = getAddress('[myAddress]')
local value1 = readInteger(addr+0x10)
if value1 == 5 then
writeInteger(addr+0x18, 9)
elseif value1 == 7 then
writeInteger(addr+0x20, 13)
end |
And format your code better. I stopped reading it after the first few lines.

That's actually kind of how hotkeys work in CE's source, but CE does it far more efficiently.

Good to know, thanks!
Yup, GetAsyncKeyState is cheap (CPU-wise).
