AS OF PATCH v6.30 THIS SHOULD NO LONGER BE AN ISSUE. However, you can still use this to toggle your push to talk key in between Fortnite and another chat application such as Discord.
Workaround for Fortnite Push-To-Talk (PTT) key not working suddenly (usually when dead).
Push-To-Talk occasionally fails to work when you have died in Fortnite. This seems more prominent if you have it bound to a mouse button such as Mouse4.
To yell at your squadmates instead of nothingness, you can use this script to prevent PTT from not working. This emulates pressing down the default PTT button 'Y'.
- This assumes you still have the default Push-To-Talk key bound to 'Y'. If it is not, you would have to modify the included
.ahk
script or rebound it to 'Y'. - I have exported the AutoHotKey script to a Windows executable (created on Windows 10 64-bit) you can simply follow the steps below to use that or if you're familiar with AutoHotKey, you can just grab the
.ahk
script.
- Download the prebuilt
.exe
or the AutoHotKey script.ahk
(Note: This requires the AutoHotKey software to be installed.) - Run the
.exe
or the.ahk
at anytime (Before or after running Fortnite, it shouldn't matter.) - Enable the script (CTRL+ALT+NUMPAD3 by default) and you should see a splash dictating whether it is enabled or not (off by default)
- If it is enabled, you should be able to PTT with the assigned button (Mouse4 by default)
Sure no secrets here! Assuming you're reading this on GitHub, you should have access it to it!
I highly doubt it... all this really does is press the default talk command. We're not really doing anything crazy like executing commands at a ridiculous rate or tapping in RAM which would trigger anti-cheat software. With that said, what you do/not do with this code is on you.
