Toggle OBS scene when toggle in-game tactical map

What does the script do?

• XButton2 = Thumb mouse button (the most forward) to open tactical map;
  
• F15 = My hotkey to show on OBS "normal ingame" scene;
  
• F16 = My hotkey to show on OBS "tactical map ingame" scene.
  

• I click on XButton2:
  • If the tactical map is closed then it open it and switch on OBS to "tactical map in-game" scene.
    
  • If the tactical map is opened then it close it and switch on OBS to "normal in-game" scene.
  
  
• Tactical map is opened and I double click on it: It will close the tactical map and switch on OBS to "normal in-game" scene.

AutoHotkey script configuration

• Download Notepad++: Go on the official site: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads -> Click on the last version -> Download 64-bit x64 -> Installer;
  
• Download AutoHotkey and install it: Go on the official site: https://www.autohotkey.com/download -> Click on Download AutoHotkey v2.*. The script above is only compatible with the version 2 of AutoHotkey;
  
• Click on New Script
  
  
• Enter the name of your script -> Click on Minimal for v2 -> Create
  
  
• Open the AutoHotkey script with Notepad++
  
  
• Copy the code above in the script;
  
• Configure in the AutoHotkey script the following variables (I can help you with that part):
  • ObsSceneIg := "{F15}"
    • Default value is F15 but you can change it;
    
    
  • ObsSceneIgTM := "{F16}"
    • Default value is F16 but you can change it;
  
  
• Then double click on scriptname.ahk to execute it;
  
• You can Copy the file and Paste shortcut in the folder C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup if you want Windows to execute it automatically on startup.
  

OBS configuration

• Open OBS;
  
• You must have at least 2 scenes. Your "normal in-game" scene and "tactical map in-game". If not create the scenes with + button;
  
  
• Menu: File -> Settings;
  
  
• Hotkeys;
  
  • Go to your "normal in-game" scene (In-game for me) -> Switch to scene line -> Configure the same hotkey (F15 for me) as the one configured in the AutoHotkey script (aka ObsSceneIg := "{F15}" by default);
    
  • Go to your "tactical mapin-game" scene (In-game Tactical Map for me) -> Switch to scene line -> Configure the same hotkey (F16 for me) as the one configured in the AutoHotkey script (aka ObsSceneIgTM := "{F16}" by default).
