Toggle Sprint Script - best/easiest way to make one?

I was looking at trying to make a script for Elden Ring on PC with an xbox controller to toggle sprint so that I don't have to constantly use claw grip when exploring (rip the side of my index finger). I'm fine with not using the script during normal combat so I dont want to replace the standard sprint functionality completely.

I was looking at trying to use autohotkey but I'm not sure if its the most optimal way to write this code.

I'm trying to make the script activate when I click L3 + circle/b. The script would deactivate when I click L3 again OR stop inputting a control stick input for .25 seconds (ideally with possible degrees of how far its been pushed so if im barely moving the stick it stops triggering) OR if I press Y/triangle.

I found this script as a base but it was formatted for a different language. https://www.consoletuner.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=919&sid=6e9f75890669c9eccce85b697d883fd1&start=10

Main questions:

1. Is autohotkey the best option or is there a better way to do this?

2. I changed the original scripts usage of A (the old interact button) to Y (the new interact button for Elden Ring). Did I miss things up there?

3. Do I need the 360 part of this script or will it cause complications?

If the answer is yes to using AHK:

1. How do i send an L3 input / is it possible? I found https://www.reddit.com/r/AutoHotkey/comments/q4dtn1/dualshock4_l3_input_hey_dear_community_i_want_to/ and one person says its not but the OP says they did it with "Send {Joy 12}"

2. How do I do functions / name them? the Combo roll code and one after wont execute. I found https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Functions.htm#DynCall but dont understand how to specify it.

This is what I had pre-figuring out it was not written for AHK which I was trying to write it in. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!

    set_val(XB360_B, 0);
    wait(40);
    set_val(XB360_B, 100);
}
