I have problem with making a script. I want to change, by pressing "grey *" on Numpad, work of the numeric keys. When press first time "grey *" it means: 1=sw, 2=s, 3=se, 4=w etc. then when I will press again "grey *" then those numeric keys change meanings to for example: 1=sneak sw, 2=sneak s, 3=sneak se, etc...

Help me, please...

Edit the "keypad" configuration, and change each direction to have "keypad_" in front of it, eg.
```
  keypad_north
  keypad_south
  keypad_east 
```
and so on.

Also change the keypad entry for the "*" to be:

toggle_sneak

Add the following script to your script file ...


sub ToggleSneak (sName, sLine, aryWildcards)
 
  if world.GetVariable ("sneak") = "" then
    world.SetVariable "sneak", "sneak "
    world.note "Sneaking enabled"
  else
    world.SetVariable "sneak", ""
    world.note "Sneaking DISABLED"
  end if

end sub

What that does is, every time it is called, change a variable called "sneak" from empty to having the word "sneak " in it (note the trailing space).

Make an alias to catch the keypad commands ...

Alias: keypad_* Send: @sneak%1 Expand variables: checked

What that will do is convert (say) "keypad_north" to "@sneak north". If the variable "sneak" is empty then it just becomes "north" but if "sneak" contains the word "sneak" then it becomes "sneak north".
Make an alias to catch the "toggle_sneak" command from the keypad ...

Alias: toggle_sneak Label: togglesneak Script: togglesneak

This means that when you hit the "*" button, it will generate the word "toggle_sneak". The above alias captures that and calls the "togglesneak" script. The script changes the value of the "sneak" variable. Then the other keypad keys behave appropriately. Have fun.
