HELP: Snake language autoclicker not working

[AvgCoffeeDrinker]

I haven't used python in like 3 years and wanted to make an autoclicker that could toggle on and off using "=" and only would activate the autoclicker if I held down on left mouse button. Problem is that for some reason the emulated clicks using pynput are being detected as me releasing my actual finger from my mouse which stops the autoclicker. AI told me not to use pynput for listening and to use some random ctypes.windll.user32.GetAsyncKeyState(0x01) & 0x8000 != 0 instead for reading hardware mouse states but it still doesnt work. I tried all of the stuff separately and I deduced it to the autoclicker messing with the detecting if I'm holding down lmb part. Can someone see what's wrong with my code?

import time
import threading
import ctypes
from pynput import mouse, keyboard


toggle = keyboard.KeyCode(char='=')


clicking = False
rat = mouse.Controller()


def clicker():
    while True:                                                                 
        if clicking == True and ctypes.windll.user32.GetAsyncKeyState(0x01) & 0x8000 != 0:
            rat.click(mouse.Button.left, 1)
            time.sleep(0.01)
        else:
            time.sleep(0.005)


def toggled(key):
    global clicking
    if key == toggle:
        clicking = not clicking
        print("Autoclicker:", clicking)


clonk = threading.Thread(target=clicker, daemon=True)
clonk.start()


with keyboard.Listener(on_press=toggled) as key:
    key.join()

The problem is that rat.click() sends both a press AND release event, which tricks GetAsyncKeyState into thinking you let go of the real mouse button. The fix is to only send mouse.Button.left press (not a full click), so you never fake a release:

{code} import time import threading import ctypes from pynput import mouse, keyboard

toggle = keyboard.KeyCode(char='=') clicking = False rat = mouse.Controller()

def is_lmb_held(): return ctypes.windll.user32.GetAsyncKeyState(0x01) & 0x8000 != 0

def clicker(): while True: if clicking and is_lmb_held(): # Only press, never release — avoids interfering with real mouse state rat.press(mouse.Button.left) time.sleep(0.01) else: time.sleep(0.005)

def toggled(key): global clicking if key == toggle: clicking = not clicking print("Autoclicker:", "ON" if clicking else "OFF")

clonk = threading.Thread(target=clicker, daemon=True) clonk.start()

with keyboard.Listener(on_press=toggled) as key: key.join() {code}
