MouseMove(+x/+y)

[CyWave]

Hey, I'm writing a project, witch should do some stuff for me, my problem is to move the mouse:

$pos=MouseGetPos()
MouseMove($pos[0]+x, $pos[1]+y, 0)
;Move mouse right x and down y

So my problem is, that i also want to move the mouse, if it is always central positioned, so if i do it like the code above

it tries to get to the position tries and tries, and moves to much(more then x/y). So I just want to move the mouse (+x/+y) If you know what I mean...

Look at getting the mouse coordinates from the client window. Look at AutoItSetOption > MouseCoordMode

You need to provide a full reproducer script which we can use for testing. The code above doesn't work becausee x and y need to be variables.

Which program do you try to automate?

[CyWave]

AutoItSetOption ( "MouseCoordMode" , 2)

While 1
_GoToBlack()
Sleep (50)
WEnd
Func _GoToBlack()
$pos = MouseGetPos()
$coord= PixelSearch ($pos[0]-300, $pos[1]-300, $pos[0]+300, $pos[1]+300, 0x000000)
If NOT @error Then
Mousemove ($coord[0],$coord[1])
;MsgBox ( 0, "Point at:", $coord[0]&"<-x || y->"&$coord[1] )
Sleep(50)
_GoToBlack()
Else
Sleep(50)
EndIf
EndFunc

Again it tries to get to a position, witch isn't possible, because the mouse is central positioned, and can't move there, it just should move (x/y) and not to (x/y) so it's like if you want to go to a position, witch is one step away and walking this one step..

What is the application you are working with? We may have a better solution.

Remove this

Sleep(50)

_GoToBlack()

from your function body for a start.

And do try a little better than "that don't work, like I want" as an explanation of your problem.

[CyWave]

The application is just a little test, it's more about a solution, for moving the mouse without coordinates. So move it for example x to the right, without knowing your actual coordinates.

I'm not sure if there is a solution for that, that's also why I'm here, to ask people with great AutoIt skills.

[water]

Why do you want to solve a "problem" that isn't a real problem? Why put time into something that isn't of any use?

[Bert]

Something tells me the OP is being vague on purpose. Water, I will bet you and I are thinking the same thing. Lets not waste our time further. Moving on....

but there is nothing wrong with your code apart from the recursion.

you say it's not working, well whats not working about it?

How do you know what I think

But you are correct, it's better to move on. Now it's time for a good Whisky and a good book.

"See" you tomorrow.

The problem is, that I want to move the mouse even if the mouse is central at my monitor, and can't be moved, it just changes the background. So I just want to move the mouse like normal, but with the mouse staying in center, but when I try it with this program, he always tries to move the mouse to the specific coordinate(witch he can't reach). So he's changing the background to much.

[JohnOne]

I'd like to help but frankly none of what you are saying makes any sense to me.

maybe one thing only does, your mouse will try to move somewhere it cannot go because if it's at sat x10 and y10 then -300 for both are off the screen. it might also return black at those coordinates.

Anyway, I'm out, I just don't understand your gibberish sorry.

I think I know what he has in mind. Think first person shooter....

Am I right?

See the Remarks of the pixelsearch function in the help files and you will understand why it does what it does.

The search direction varies as follows:
Left-to-Right - left < right
Right-to-Left - right < left
Top-to-Bottom - top < bottom
Bottom-to-Top - bottom < top
Changing the search direction can be a useful optimization if the color being searched for frequently appears in in a specific quandrat of the search area since less searching is done if the search starts in the most common quadrant.

Remember, a typical display at 1024 x 768 has 786432 pixels. Although PixelSearch is optimized, narrowing the search area helps speed up the result.

Yeah, you're right.. I'm sorry I brought this here, but it was my last hope...
