Why would this click twice?

[SmOke_N]

Ok, I'm using a script I wrote a long time ago that worked flawlessly. Last night while playing my game, I couldn't stop the bloody thing from clicking the same action twice.

It looked like the action was being called twice by the client, but I inserted a Message Box to see, and it wasn't.

Well, I did my standard, once a week virus scan and found 3 trojans (ugh!!). I've deleted them, and the action is still happening (thought maybe they had something to do with them... don't ask me the names... I already forgot it was late)

So here's the script I always use:

Global = $Game = "Game Title"

While WinExist($Game)
      Sleep(100)

      $Action = ControlGetText("Game Console", "Action", 1211)
      If $Action = "Action" Then
         Sleep(Random(1000, 7000))
         If Not Winactive($Game) Then WinActivate($Game)
         MouseClick("left", Random(425, 514), Random(528, 555), 1, 1)
      EndIf
Wend

This is the one that went batty on m: It waits the same exact Sleep(Random) time as it did for the initial MouseClick

Yet my old compiled one that is the same as code above still works the same as it did??

Tried this:

Global = $Game = "Game Title"

While WinExist($Game)
      Sleep(100)

      $Action = ControlGetText("Game Console", "Action", 1211)
      If $Action = "Action" Then
         Sleep(Random(1000, 7000))
         If Not Winactive($Game) Then WinActivate($Game)
         MsgBox(0, "", $Action, 1)
      EndIf
Wend

Message Box never came back up twice like MouseClick did.

And this:

Global = $Game = "Game Title"

While WinExist($Game)
      Sleep(100)

      $Action = ControlGetText("Game Console", "Action", 1211)
      If $Action = "Action" Then
         Sleep(Random(1000, 7000))
         If Not Winactive($Game) Then WinActivate($Game)
         MsgBox(0, "", $Action, 1)
         MouseClick("left", Random(425, 514), Random(528, 555), 1, 1)
      EndIf
Wend

With this it only mouse clicked once. I dunno... I'm baffled (Think a reformat is comming )

I think the system is fast and once you have entered the If $Action =

it will enter twice before the screen can change

try changing this to a longer sleep

While WinExist($Game)

>>>> Sleep(100)

(just a guess)

Sleep(100)

Holy Cow, I must of looked at this a million times. I did change that from Sleep[500] . Sometimes it takes someone looking in.

Great observation Valuater... Thanks!!
