Easy Question; variabel

[Gottx3]

Hey Guys, I am on Training with AutoIt. I am a greenhorn

How can i make this:

$x = 1

while 1

if $x < 51

(Tell: Your Count is: $x)

$x+1

sleep(1000)

endIf

Wend

U see the red sentence, how can i write this in one order ?

Thank you for help.

You could use a Message box, like so:

MsgBox(0, "Counting with X", "Your count is: " & $x)

Note, however, that this will give you 50 message boxes, which could get annoying. You can find more about the MsgBox function in the documentation.

Also, if you're counting between two numbers, a better way would be a For loop, rather than a While loop. For example:

For $x = 1 to 50
    MsgBox(0, "For loop example", "Your count is: " & $x)
    Sleep(1000)
Next

It's something like a countdown (or a countup). A lot of such code can be found on the forum. The first I found is which should give you an idea how it works.

BTW: How do you want to exit your example script? Now it will loop forever

A for loop and a tooltip should be a nice choice:

For $X = 1 To 5
    ToolTip($X)
    Sleep(1000)
Next

Ah yes, didn't think of using a tooltip. This looks good.

Hmm, and what is if i want it for a output for the editor, so it writes every second (for example) the count in my open editor ?

[rabbitkillrun2]

Do you mean typing out the number into Notepad or something?

[Gottx3]

yes, like the send commando, for example if i write

send('{G}')

send('{o}')

send('{t}')

send('{t}')

send('{x}')

send('{3}')

The Bot writes "gottx3" in my Editor.

I want, that the bot writes my Variable in it.

You did read the forums rules ...right?

Do not discuss automating games here. ?

And why it should be for a game? I don't understand it...

Read the Rules again as clearly you missed this section Additional notes regarding game automation the first time you read it.
