Help with AutoIt Function

[joshb]

Hello,

I am new to AutoIt but I do understand it enough to do what I need to as far as my program which is really simple and noobie.

The problem I am having is I want to run the program that sends commands to another program while both are running in the background. So I may be able to web surf or maybe play another game. Is this possible? Here is a simple example my code:

expandcollapse popup

Sleep(10000)
For $count = 1 To 200000
Next
For $count = 1 To 200000
    
  Send("1")
   Sleep(1000)
   Send("q")
   Sleep(1000)
   Send("l")
   Sleep(500)
   MouseClick("left")
   Sleep(20000)
   Send("2")
   Sleep(2000)
   Send("l")
   MouseClick("left")
   Sleep(20000)
   Send("3")
   Sleep(2000)
   Send("l")
   MouseClick("left")
   Sleep(20000)
   Send("4")
   Sleep(2000)
   Send("l")
   MouseClick("left")
   Sleep(20000)
   Send("5")
   Sleep(2000)
   Send("l")
   MouseClick("left")
   Sleep(20000)
   Send("q")
   Sleep(1000)
   Send("5")
   Sleep(1000)

Hi And Welcome to the forums!

You need to use ControlSend() instead of Send() and ControlClick() instead of MouseClick()!

Ty for your response. Do I have to direct the AutoIt program to the program I want to use it or will ControlSend(),ControlClick() be enough...

Ok I've made some progress! The code works but it doesn't register as a keystroke in game like i want it to. When i run it, it looks like nothing is happening until i click on the chat window in the game then i see it running. ie it inputs the letters and numbers.

Mass Spammer! thanks but I know this. Macroing in game is not against AV policy as long as you are at your computer. I just want to be able to check my fantasy BB scores while im running this program without having to break/pause the program.
