Total newb at this (need help)

Alright Im looking to do something simple, click and drag a item from one window to another from over and over again.

Ive toyed with Autoit before but that was through editing a pre-existing autoit script. So now that I have to start from scratch I have no clue how to work this wonderfully complex program.

I know how to figure out coordinates to designate point A to point B just lack the programing knowledge to get this done.

Can I get some help or at the very least a n00b friendly guide?

Have a look at this function, MouseClickDrag, I believe it will be the 'backbone' in your script.

Alright this is what I got so far.

While 1;infinite loop

; Left click drag from 881, 709 to 1136, 707

MouseClickDrag("left", 881, 709, 1136, 707)

sleep(1200)

wend

How do I make it loop infinitely every few seconds? Im not sure how fast 1200 is but it seems fast enough.

[somdcomputerguy]

1000 = 1 sec, so 1200 would be just under a second and a half

alright but how should I set it to auto loop?

Opt("MouseCoordMode", 1)

HotKeySet("^!u", "DoIt")  ; HotKey is Ctrl + Alt + U
HotKeySet("^{F2}", "Wait"); HotKey is Ctrl + F2

Func Wait()
    while 1
        Sleep(100)
    WEnd
    EndFunc

    While 1
        Sleep(100)
    WEnd

Func DoIt()
While 1
; Left click drag from 881, 709 to 1136, 707
MouseClickDrag("left", 881, 709, 1136, 707)
sleep(1200)
WEnd
EndFunc

Hope this helps.
