Avoid script pause on window change

[StefzX]

Hello everyone,

I have a problem : I've been looking on the net for an easy working autocliker, but I couldn't find it, so i decided to make my own one with autoit.

I made many researches on this forum and then i found some good codes to use.

I finally could make my autoclicker, but still i have a problem : i need to run the script on a window, and when i start the script and click on the window i need, the script pauses..

So I tried to find a solution for this problem, but I couldn't find one yet..

Here's the code of my script until now

$title = WinGetTitle("iPad-di-Stefano - VNC Viewer")
WinActivate($title)

HotKeySet("{F8}", "Terminate")

Func Terminate()
Exit 0
EndFunc

$i = 0

Do

MouseClick("left", 1481, 865, 2)
Sleep (1000)
MouseClick("left", 1054, 743, 2)
Sleep (1000)
MouseClick("left", 1051, 616, 2)
Sleep (2000)
$i = $i + 1
Until $i = 100

so I do activate the window from the script, but after doing it it will pause..and if i click somewhere else on the screen it will go back running..

How could i solve?

Thanks for your help,

Stefano

Edit : I just realized the script works for example on IE and Chrome, so it must be a problem of the software i want to run the autoclicker on..(VNC Viewer)

You are very close. Take a look at WinActive / WinWaitActive. They can tell your script whether that window is active, or to wait until it is.

You can pause your script or force it to be active again otherwise.

Out of curiosity, what are you trying to automate on your ipad?

First of all thanks for your reply, i'll check those methods now,

and second, hehe i knew someone would ask what was i trying to do, so basically there is a game, called Curiosity, where people from the entire world have to destroy a giant cube, that is made of millions and millions of smallest cubes..

So, there is an object that cost 3 bilions, and it s too much for a person to reach(but I'm just so curious to see what will it do)...but in-app you can purchase 500k money at time, so since my iPad is ja*****ken, i wanted to let it reach 3 bils automatically...(it would take too much manually)..that's why i tried to make that script, but maybe it could be used for many other things..

however i ja*****ken my iPad not to cheat on games but because you can customize it much more than you can with native iOS

Edit : that's how i changed my code

$title = WinGetTitle("iPad-di-Stefano - VNC Viewer")
WinActivate($title)

HotKeySet("{F8}", "Terminate")

Func Terminate()
Exit 0
EndFunc

$i = 0
if WinActive($title) then
Do
MouseClick("left", 1481, 865, 2)
Sleep (1000)
MouseClick("left", 1054, 743, 2)
Sleep (1000)
MouseClick("left", 1051, 616, 2)
Sleep (2000)
$i = $i + 1
Until $i = 3
endif

but still not working on vnc viewer..still i tried this on photoshop and it works, so i think there must be some kind restriction from vnc or something else...guess i'll have to do it manually

StefzX, read the Forum Rules. Game automation is not allowed. You will probably not receive any more help, unless someone else wants to keep breaking the rules here.

StefzX,

somdcomputerguy is quite right - please read the Forum rules (the link is also at bottom right of each page) - particularly the bit about not discussing game automation - before you post again. Thread locked.

But welcome to the AutoIt forum - and see you soon with a legitimate question I hope.

careca,

In future, please read the posts carefully before you answer.
