numpad

I'm on a laptop without a mouse. This means I don't have the middle mouse button/wheel. I tried to use ahk to make my numpad act like a mouse wheel with the middle mouse button.

Numpad8::WheelUp
Numpad2::WheelDown
Numpad5::MButton

The problem is that it scrolls up/down 2 times (when I click and release the button).

How do I make the wheel scroll only once when I hit the button and not again after releasing it?
