Storing multiple click points

[gcdot]

I am new to this scripting thing but yes i did do a search for this and cant find anything. Basically I am looking to create an automated program to click on 20 or more different points on the screen. I cant find the command or codes to allow me to input or store different x,y coordinates.

can i declare

$script_x = 0

$script_y = 0

$script_x2 = 0

$script_y2 = 0

$script_x3 = 0

$script_y3 = 0

and so on until

$script_x20 = 0

$script_y20 = 0

and then set

Func set_position()

$script_x = MouseGetPos(0)

$script_y = MouseGetPos(1)

Func set_position2()

$script_x2 = MouseGetPos(0)

$script_y2 = MouseGetPos(1)

Func set_position3()

$script_x3 = MouseGetPos(0)

$script_y3 = MouseGetPos(1)

and so on?

I tried this and kept getting errors. Any help/suggestions or ideas of coding examples would be appreciated!

Thank you in advance

I dont see any mouseclick() functions in that, just some variable declarations and incorrect use of mousegetpos, so there is no way I can tell what you might be doing wrong.

You need to post part of the cod that is in error, and the error you are getting.

EDIT:

correct use of mousegetpos

$var = MouseGetPos()
    $script_x = $var[0]
    $script_y = $var[1]

Here are parts of the script for 5 stored positions.

$script_x = 0

$script_y = 0

$script_x2 = 0

$script_y2 = 0

$script_x3 = 0

$script_y3 = 0

$script_x4 = 0

$script_y4 = 0

$script_x5 = 0

$script_y5 = 0

; Hotkeys

HotKeySet("{1}", "set_position")

HotKeySet("{2}", "set_position2")

HotKeySet("{3}", "set_position3")

HotKeySet("{4}", "set_position4")

HotKeySet("{5}", "set_position5")

HotKeySet("{F1}", "start_script")

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "stop_script")

; Hotkey Functions 1

Func set_position()

$script_x = MouseGetPos(0)

$script_y = MouseGetPos(1)

GUICtrlSetData($label_coordinate_x, $script_x)

GUICtrlSetData($label_coordinate_y, $script_y)

EndFunc

; Hotkey Functions 2

Func set_position2()

$script_x2 = MouseGetPos(0)

$script_y2 = MouseGetPos(1)

GUICtrlSetData($label_coordinate_x2, $script_x2)

GUICtrlSetData($label_coordinate_y2, $script_y2)

EndFunc

; Hotkey Functions 3

$script_x3 = MouseGetPos(0)

$script_y3 = MouseGetPos(1)

GUICtrlSetData($label_coordinate_y3, $script_y3)

EndFunc

; Hotkey Functions 4

Func set_position4()

$script_x4 = MouseGetPos(0)

$script_y4 = MouseGetPos(1)

GUICtrlSetData($label_coordinate_x4, $script_x4)

GUICtrlSetData($label_coordinate_y4, $script_y4)

EndFunc

; Hotkey Functions 5

Func set_position5()

$script_x5 = MouseGetPos(0)

$script_y5 = MouseGetPos(1)

GUICtrlSetData($label_coordinate_x5, $script_x5)

GUICtrlSetData($label_coordinate_y5, $script_y5)

EndFunc

When i press the key number (1) to record the positioningfor the first position it's fine then I press the second key (2) it errors out saying something like

Line 56 (File "C:\Documents.........myfile.au"):

GUICtrlSetData($label_coordinate_x2,$script_x2)

GUICtrlSetData(>ERROR

Error: Variable used without being declared.

first change all the () in mousegetpos commands to [] and see if that helps.

Bad info

Sorry.

When you use the MouseGetPos() it returns an array of 2 numbers, the x value and the y value. if you use the line $script=MouseGetPos()

you would get the x and y by doing

mousemove($script[0],$script[1],10)

the [0] is the x position and the [1] is the y

although I see what you are trying to do from the help file.

this way you can get both numbers in one call

the help file does state that you can use the (0) for x and (1) for y in the MouseGetPos() func.

Once again a massive fail on my part, I do apologise gcdot.

It is I who should have re-read the help file.

I thought the same thing I think because I have never seen anyone use MouseGetPos in that manner. Everyone always uses the array method I believe because it is easier, less coding and less variables to deal with.

having read over this, my help was wrong as well.

With what was given of the code, it looks right.

The variable not being declared is the $label_coordinate_x2

somewhere there is a GUI? and are these label variables defined in another part of the script (they are not in what was given)?

Thanks everyone for posting some inputs. I rechecked all my codes and finally figured out what the problem was. The codes above were fine there was an error elsewhere in the script but i did figure out what the problem was and was able to successfully store multiple click points on the test program. Again i appreciate your help!
