Lua Script for Controlling WASD Keys via Mouse Movement

Question

I need a lua script that allows me to press keys ("W", "A", "S", "D") through moving my mouse in certain direction.

For example:

I am moving mouse up by x pixels ---> Key "W" is being used for for y ms.

And so on analogically for the other mouse movements.

Answer 1

Try this

-- turn script on  - click middle mouse button while NumLock LED is ON
-- turn script off - click middle mouse button

--------------------------------------------------------------------
--  PARAMETERS
--------------------------------------------------------------------

local distance_horiz  = 20  -- x, pixels
local distance_vert   = 25  -- x, pixels
local key_press_delay = 30  -- y, ms

local screen_width  = 1920   --  set your game screen resolution here
local screen_height = 1080

--------------------------------------------------------------------

local active

function OnEvent(event, arg)
   if event == "MOUSE_BUTTON_PRESSED" and arg == 3 then  -- Middle mouse button
      active = not active and IsKeyLockOn"NumLock"
      if active then
         local horiz, vert, horiz_key, vert_key, horiz_key_tm, vert_key_tm = 0, 0
         local prev_MMB = true
         repeat
            local prev_x, prev_y = math.floor(screen_width/2), math.floor(screen_height/2)
            local x = math.floor(prev_x * (2^16-1) / (screen_width-1) + 0.5)
            local y = math.floor(prev_y * (2^16-1) / (screen_height-1) + 0.5)
            MoveMouseTo(x, y)
            Sleep(10)
            local MMB = IsMouseButtonPressed(2)
            local exit = MMB and not prev_MMB
            prev_MMB = MMB
            x, y = GetMousePosition()
            x = math.floor((x + (0.5 + 2^-16)) * (screen_width-1) / (2^16-1))
            y = math.floor((y + (0.5 + 2^-16)) * (screen_height-1) / (2^16-1))
            horiz, vert = horiz + x - prev_x, vert + y - prev_y
            local tm = GetRunningTime()

                  else
                     horiz, new_key = horiz + distance_horiz, "A"
                  end
                  if new_key ~= horiz_key then
                     if horiz_key then

            -- vert

               if math.abs(vert) >= distance_vert then
                  local new_key

                     vert, new_key = vert - distance_vert, "S"
                  else
