Scroll Wheel Zoom

[junk2drive]

Markshot wrote this a while back at the wargamer. I was searching for autohotkey posts and realised that this should work for CCME. Zoom is controlled by + and - on the keyboard in CCME.

Here is the script, enjoy!

#NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

WheelDown::-


WheelUp::=

Escape::
ExitApp

There should be a way to have it active only when the game is active in a window but I haven't figured that out yet.

(oops)re-read your posts; old message redundant. I'm working through autohotkey now to see how I go.

I've used this utility and it works well.  I think you'll find that the copy script should be edited.  Wheel up is entered as '=' when it should be '+'.
 
The thing that didn't work for me was that the option to write a new script did not appear when pressing the right key at the desktop.  I got round this by simply editing the script which comes with the utility.

The manual may say + and - but you don't have to press shift + = to get + to zoom. I tried that

Anyway I tested it before posting and it works.

Right click and empty spot like you do for setting your monitor and from the New popout select Autohotkey

This is odd. I've been using this for some while now - it's been v.v. useful. However I don't get Autohotkey in the menu after right clicking - no idea why. Also '=' does not work for me either. 
 
It's also maybe worth saying that whilst the script is running, the scroll up and down function doesn't work - sounds obvious but it took me ages to realise that if you aren't using it for zoom purposes, there is a menu item to suspend the script. 
 
I suppose most folks would realise that, but then I'm old.  I'm also very nervous today - in the UK this is 'Survival Sunday'.  Five teams, including mine, face relegation from the Premier League.  For the majority of people this is only football; for me it is life itself. Bet you're glad to know all that [:D]

In My Documents I have AutoHotkey.ahk and on my desktop I have AutoHotkey.exe and the script I made ccmescroll.ahk

I right click my ccmescroll.ahk and select Run Script. That puts a tray icon for the script. Start the game and it works.

Could be USA keyboard vs UK? My + is on the = key that is on the upper right next to backspace.

Really strange.  Like you I have the .ahk in My Docs and the exe on desktop but not the script.  I got this about a year ago - could be longer - maybe I have a different version.  I remember when I first got it being a bit frustrated with it for a while.
 
As I said I got around it by simply customising the script which came with the utility and bunged in hot keys to suit my needs.
 
It is a nifty little program which comes in very handy - certainly works well with CC.

We've got our first spambot, we're not forgotten.

Or could he be the developer - only joking [:'(]

As soon as Erik posted we got a spambot.
 
Hmmm.

I made a similar script for another game and found this trick

Escape::
ExitApp

Add the above to your script and you can press Esc when you are done with the game to close the script.
