Right now, it's a thing where you vote for pieces of art that will eventually be displayed in Stockholm. A friend of mine has a piece of art in the contest and the top 30 will be displayed. Atop of that one of the contributions will be selected and given a scolarship of 25.000 swedish kronor, about 2500 euros. Anyways, we've written some emails to the holders of the contest and told them about the ability to vote several times and asked them about how they were going to deal with that and some obvious plagiarism going on in the contest. They haven't answered the email in over a week now and several people are obviously abusing this ability to vote several times, so i went ahead and took it to the next level with a script.

Ok, thanks for clearing out the while-command. What if i want to make the script loop this loop for X amount of times or for a specific period of time, is there an easy way for me to do that? Can i do something with the while-thing then or do i have to rewrite it in a different way? I could just spam thesame script like 100 times in one script-file to make sure it does that loop 100 times when using that file, but it feels like the wrong way to script it, with like shitloads of extra rows in the script. Intuitively it feels like telling the script to loop something for a specific amount of times should be really easy. Thanks again for all the help.

Ok i've worked it out now, and it's going great. I just wanted to check about the "While 1"-command. Does the number after While matter? Does it just loop what's inside the while-thing until i stop the script, or how long?

Oh, really nice of you. What if i repeat this action like say 1000 times in a script, is there a easy way for me to abort the script while it's doing these clicks and stuff? It's for a voting-thing, i've found a website with where you vote for some stuff and it just disables you from voting again with a cookie. So i set my web browser to clear cookies everytime it get's shut down, and then i make it so that the button to start the web browser and the vote button coincides, and set my browser start page to the specific thing i want to vote for. So then it's useful to just make a script that automaticly spam-votes for me but i haven't found any decent ways to stop the script while running yet. Except for making the sleep-time so long that i can rightclick the icon and choose "exit" on autoit.

I haven't found this help file, all i found were some readme's and loads of examples. The examples were helpful, once i knew what to look for (you told me about the sleep function, i was looking for a "wait" or "hold"-command). So thanks for that, my script is working as intended now. But now i've got some new issues, if i start the script to do a loop of say 100 actions, and in the middle i notice shit's going bad, so i need to abort the script. How do i do that? I found the help file now, i was searching for a file named "help" or w/e, but it was just named autoit. Searched it for stop/pause-functions or buttons and didn't find anything.

Yeah but the help file doesn't say how you send several buttons at once, like when i want to send alt+f4, it just shows how to send a series of buttons. The other thing it doesn't show is how to make the script wait for a few seconds (or just count to whatever or something), how do i do these things?

Hi, if i want to create a script that clicks twice with a short time between them (for a doubleclick), wait like two seconds and then click once, wait like half a second and then press alt+f4, wait 2 seconds and then start from the top. What would that script look like? I'm a total noob and not at all familiar with this programing language. Thx for helping out
