Help with condensing code.

[cbriggs77]

Ok so i have this code right, and i wrote this code after just learning autoit through like youtube and such. it's for like stuff and definitely not against TOS.  

expandcollapse popup

MouseMove(730, 1093)
    MouseClick("left")
    Sleep($interval)
    MouseMove(531, 447)
    MouseClick("left")
    Sleep($interval)
    Send("a")
    MouseMove(845, 514)
    MouseClick("left") ;1
    Sleep($interval2)
    MouseClick("left") ;2
    Sleep($interval2)
    MouseClick("left") ;3
    Sleep($interval2)
    MouseClick("left") ;4
    Sleep($interval2)
    MouseClick("left") ;5
    Sleep($interval2)
    MouseClick("left") ;6
    Sleep($interval2)
    MouseMove(1225, 752)
    MouseClick("left") ;1
    Sleep($interval3)
    MouseMove(1035, 604)
    MouseClick("left") ;2
    Sleep($interval2)
    MouseClick("left") ;3
    Sleep($interval2)
    MouseClick("left") ;4
    Sleep($interval2)
    MouseClick("left") ;5
    Sleep($interval2)
    MouseClick("left") ;6
    Sleep($interval2)
    MouseMove(744, 959) ;1
    MouseClick("left")
    Sleep($interval2)
    MouseMove(922, 596) ;2
    MouseClick("left")
    Sleep($interval2) ;3
    MouseClick("left")
    Sleep($interval2) ;4
    MouseClick("left")
    Sleep($interval2) ;5
    MouseClick("left")
    Sleep($interval2) ;6
    MouseMove(1462, 725)
    MouseClick("left")
    Sleep($interval2) ;1
    MouseMove(1071, 531)
    MouseClick("left")
    Sleep($interval2) ;2
    MouseClick("left")
    Sleep($interval2) ;3
    MouseClick("left")
    Sleep($interval2) ;4
    MouseClick("left")
    Sleep($interval2) ;5
    MouseClick("left")
    Sleep($interval2) ;6
    MouseMove(1681, 427)
    MouseClick("left")
    Sleep($interval5)
    Send("a")
    Sleep($interval5)

Essentially i'm wondering if there is anyway to run a mouseclick at a duplicative of itself. like 20 times without writing it 20 times.

Also as my first coding syntax i've tackled in quite a long time i'd like to say I love autoit's simplicity.

What do you mean, like?

Is it for a like, like, or just like for clicking, like?

cbriggs77, can you give us an idea of what you're trying to automate? I guarantee you there is a better way to do it than all those MouseClicks, whatever it is.

[iamtheky]

you can always build your own function with the parameters you wish to vary.

_MouseClick("left"  , 531, 447 , 2000 , 5)


    Func _MouseClick($button , $xCoord , $yCoord , $sleep , $repeat)

    For $i = 1 to $repeat
    tooltip ("Clicking the " & $button & " button " & $i & " of " & $repeat & " times at " & $xCoord & "," & $yCoord & " with a sleep of " & $sleep & "ms inbetween each click" , 0 , 0)
    MouseClick($button , $xCoord, $yCoord)
    Sleep($sleep)
    Next


    EndFunc

It is probably to do with the topic that got closed earlier. I can't compare the code as it was removed when the topic was locked.

I was essentially looking for help on how to repeat certain parameters, like 

boththose

showed. That is tremendously helpful. so if i were to input this into my code file, i'd have to speify what variables 

$repeat are and variable $sleep  earlier in the script ?

I think you only need to specify it when you call the function (but not sure, I didn't use my own function for a time now)

Also MouseClick("left") = MouseClick("") Since the default is left click.

OH that is useful as well! cuts down on writing left so many times, xD

You guys are really helpful! thanks so much!

Still curious why you are forced to use mouseclicks. The script will never be stable if that is all you're basing it on.

cbriggs, based on the PM you sent me (below) along with your other posts, you know by now this is against the forum rules.

Hey i was just wondering what you were talking about when you said. " Still curious why you are forced to use mouseclicks. The script will never be stable if that is all you're basing it on."

Essentially I am moving a character around, the game uses the unity engine, and I move my character around from the starting position, and he runs to mineral veins, mines them, runs back and banks the minerals, goes to starting position and returns to minerals, rinse, repeat. i can send you the whole code if you want. it's for a game called, "Albion Online"

I'm still trying to learn how i would do an image search so i can auto attack monsters in the area, but only monsters and than return to mining. : I'm very new at autoit, but I am enjoying the coding portion VERY much. If you have anywhere you think I could read u p that would help me, it would be greatly appreciated.

cbriggs77,

You have >already been pointed to the Forum rules so there is no excuse for starting a second thread. Please do NOT start a third - our patience has limits.
