2 problems sending keys

[sixtors3]

I have this script

WinWaitActive("SomeKindOfProgram")
$hWnd1 = WinGetHandle("[ACTIVE]")
Sleep(1000)
$flag = True
$timer1 = TimerInit()
$timer2 = TimerInit()
While 1
   $seconds1 = TimerDiff($timer1) * 1000
   if $seconds1 > 10 Then
      If $flag = True Then
         Send("{LEFT DOWN}")
         Sleep(3000)
         Send("{LEFT UP}")
         $flag = False
      Else
         Send("{RIGHT DOWN}")
         sleep(3000)
         Send("{RIGHT UP}")
         $flag = True
      EndIf
      $timer1 = TimerInit()
   EndIf
   $seconds2 = TimerDiff($timer2) * 1000
   If $seconds2 > 120 Then
      MouseClick("primary", 235, 260, 1)
      $timer2 = TimerInit()
   EndIF
WEnd

I have to problems with this at first I wanted to use instead of Send Func, SendControl and it worked with various keys such as UP / y (those I tested) and when I told it to send LEFT / RIGHT it didnt work, any chance the program is blocking it somehow ?

So the only way I find to fix it as for now is to use the Send Func .. but anyways I tried to make a program that simultantly will go left wait 10 seconds then right then wait 10 seconds then left and so on .. and also after each 120 seconds press the primary mouse button at fixed location.

The result is that it first goes left right left right (without stopping) and click the primary button before 120 seconds passed every like 5 seconds, why is that?

Messy script. Explain by steps what you want to do

Messy script. Explain by steps what you want to do

This is what I wanted to do at first :

1. Get the handle of some program's window

2. Make the script push down the left button for 3 seconds (in the program's window itself, by using ControlSend)

3. After pushing down left wait 10 seconds

4. After 10 seconds passed push down the right button for 3 seconds (in the program's window itself, by using ControlSend)

5. While all this happening make your mouse click in a specific coordinate on the screen each 120 seconds.

What was the problems I encountered ?

1. For some reason ControlSend with Left and Right didn't work but with other keys it did (I tried Up and Y and it worked for those and for Left and Right it didn't) so I decided to use normal Send function..

2. The script isn't waiting 10 seconds between each key push down

3. The script click the mouse at the coordinate I provided every 5 seconds or so instead of 120

Let's deal one step at a time.

. After pushing down left wait 10 seconds

 

Where in your script have you tried to implement this?

if $seconds1 > 10 Then

everytime I get into the if the timer1 get initalized again and I check every loop that the difftime * 1000 (10 seconds) passed

[JohnOne]

I'd say that is not correct.

If TimerDiff($timer1) is just one millisecond and you times it by 1000 then it's 1000 straight away and your code enters the if condition.

You should look again at your logic and correct that first.

oh  should've used / 1000 .. derp

what about the other problem with the ControlSend ?

Well first you need to get the info from exact window control you want to use, advanced class from window info tool will tell you that.

The problem is this works :

WinWaitActive("ProgramName")
$hWnd = WinGetHandle("[ACTIVE]")
Sleep(1000)
While 1
    ControlSend($hWnd, "", "", "{UP}")
WEnd

This doesnt :

WinWaitActive("ProgramName")
$hWnd = WinGetHandle("[ACTIVE]")
Sleep(1000)
While 1
    ControlSend($hWnd, "", "", "{LEFT}")
WEnd

WinWaitActive("ProgramName")
$hWnd = WinGetHandle("[ACTIVE]")
Sleep(1000)
While 1
    ControlSend($hWnd, "", "", "{RIGHT}")
WEnd

can the program block certain keys from programs like autoit ?

[JohnOne]

can the program block certain keys from programs like autoit ?

Yes.

[sixtors3]

Yes.

but Send() can send the left keys so is it really blocking it ? also anyway to overcome the block ? because if I need to send the left and right keys inside the program and when the program use mouseclick the focus go out of the program so what can i do

could u gimme example how to do it / some article that tells you how to do it ?

[JohnOne]

Open window info tool from autoit install folder, and drag the finder tool right onto the control inside target window on which you wish to act.

Post the full content of the window info tool summary tab here.

I see there is no control recognized, so your current code is the way I would advise if I never knew it did not work.

EDIT:

Also, you made a mistake in showing this is for a game which is barred from discussion on the forum, so unfortunately I can't help any further even if I could, which I can't.

sixtors3,

JohnOne 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.
