Newbie need help on auto it

[xech]

Hi Guys I need to automate a program that auto clicks an application, I use jitbitmacro recorder but I don't know If autoit can do the same thing, I think it sure does, If it can how can i do it?. Well The idea is that I have a sequence of clicks recorded with proper timing that complete a task I have to do, after the sequence is done, I need to do another sequence which I recorded also, It has all clicks and timing in place, After both sequences are done, I want the bot to wait for about 4 ~ 5 hours and repeat the two sequences again. This whole process I want it to be automated, How can I do this?, and can I record clicks and keystrokes as well in auto it so it doesn't have to worry about opening jitbitmacro recorder to play the sequences?. I really would like that autoit to do everything including clicks and keystrokes so it doesn't have to open jitbitmacro beacuse it may crash.

Thanks

You can MouseClick(), Sleep(), and Send()

AutoIt also has a recorder that is probably exactly the same as what you already use

However, depending on what you are automating you can probably bypass all these and have it click and send what you want accurately, without waiting for specified times.

also, what you are trying to do may have already been scripted. Try searching for the application in the forum and you may find a script ready to go.

thanks I found the Au3record, It records my movements, after that I can just add and tweak whatever i like and make it an exe then loop it. I think it's not going to crash or anything and its way better than the crappy macro recorder i used. I am learning this powerful automation tool, i didn't know it could be this simple!. Thanks Guys

As I started to say, depending on what the program is, you might be able to use ControlClick(), WinWaitActive(), ControlSend()

Then you don't have to worry if the window opens in time, or if controls are in the correct position, etc.

Isn't there something about bots in the rulebook?

Does this mean you are unsure and haven't read them?

No, there is something about games interaction/automation

bot != game all the time
