Autohotkey Noob Please help.

Im trying to make a hotkey as Ctrl Numpad1 to execute ctrl alt numpad 1 and alt numpad 1 but it just wont act like i want it to. 
i can easily make it execute a single command but not two. Any help ?
I've done multiple versions of this but just wont work.
 

^Numpad1:: 
send {Ctrl Alt Numpad1}
send {ALT numpad1}

You will want to change the script to

^Numpad1::
Send, {Ctrl down}{Alt down}{Numpad1}{Alt up}{Ctrl up}
Send, {Alt down}{Numpad1}{Alt up}

You could also try

^Numpad1::
Send, ^!Numpad1
Send, !Numpad1

The first is recommended, but this format can sometimes work better.

Try adding a Sleep command between the first and second lines, OBS might just not be able to take inputs that quickly. Try Sleep 100. If that doesn't work see if it works if you change the hotkey to just Numpad1, or just Numpad2. It may be that you pressing the buttons is interfering with the commands being sent. Also make sure that the commands being pressed are global hotkeys in OBS.

Hmm for some reason OBS will just not register it. It will do it if i press Alt numpad 1 normally but not in the script.

Oh man, my bad on that last script, it should actually be

^Numpad1::
Send, ^!{Numpad1}
Sleep 100 ; Optional, if it works take this out and see if it still works.
Send, !{Numpad1}

I always forget the brackets when using that syntax.

Well still no effect with OBS. 
It works with my other program so something is wrong with my obs i guess. i did open it as admin though

You can try adding

SendMode Input

to the top of the file, above the hotkey. If that doesn't work a way to sometimes get AHK working with stubborn apps is using ControlSend which ensures that the keystrokes get sent to the application you specify.

SendMode Input

^Numpad1::
controlSend,,{Ctrl down}{Alt down}{Numpad1}{Alt up}{Ctrl up},ahk_class Qt5QWindowIcon
controlSend,,{Alt down}{Numpad1}{Alt up},ahk_class Qt5QWindowIcon

; Qt5QWindowIcon is the default ahk class of OBS Studio, if it doesn't work you can find
; the name with Window Spy which can be accessed through the task bar icon when you run
; a script

This is strange. 
If i do CTRL ALT + Numpad1 it acts as i want it but not when i use ctrl numpad1 ? 
^Numpad1::
Send, ^!{Numpad1}
Sleep 100 ;
Send, !{Numpad1}

Well I'm stumped. My only idea is you holding Ctrl to execute the shortcut is influencing the script running. Try adding a Sleep 1000 before the first command to stall it for a second and letting go of the shortcut keys as soon as you press them so you aren't holding anything while the script executes.

Is it possible to make OBS do all of what you want off one hotkey? I'm going to guess you knew this already, but the initial Ctrl+Numpad1 won't get sent to OBS, just in case that was part of the sequence you wanted. Just to rule that out.

No OBS is the Alt+numpad1 hotkey

Wait the hotkey is supposed to be Alt+Numpad1?

If that's the case the first line should be

!Numpad1::

The hotkey in OBS is suppose to be Alt+numpad1 the hotkey in OVR stream is suppose to be ctrl+alt+numpad1 and the key to execute is suppose to be ctrl+numpad 1
