MouseMove to coordinates

[yyywww]

Hello,

I have a sizable amount of coordinates that I want to predefine in my script. Right now they look something like this:

Global Const $button1 = [555, 111] 

Global Const $button2 = [944, 55] 

Global Const $button3 = [850, 550] 

Global Const $button4 = [350, 240] 

 

And so forth.

 

Now I want to use MouseMove() to move the mouse to $button3 for example.

 

Is there an easier way to do this than to use MouseMove($button3[0],$button3[1]) each time? 

 

It would be nicer if I could just use MouseMove($button3) for example.

 

Sorry if this is a silly question, I hope I explained it sufficiently.

yyywww,

Welcome to the AutoIt forums.

Just write a wrapper function something like this:

Global Const $button1 = [555, 111] 
Global Const $button2 = [944, 55] 
Global Const $button3 = [850, 550] 
Global Const $button4 = [350, 240] 

; Pass the array as a coordinate to a function
_MouseMove($button3)

; And do the hard work in the function
Func _MouseMove($aCoordinates)
    MouseMove($aCoordinates[0], $aCoordinates[1])
EndFunc

That seems to fit the bill.

Ah, that is smart. That does exactly what I need for my script. I am somewhat new to programming, I wish I could have thought of this myself, haha. Thank you!

yyywww,

Glad I could help.

But when you reply, please use the "Reply to this topic" button at the top of the thread or the "Reply to this topic" editor at the bottom rather than the "Quote" button - I know what I wrote and it just pads the thread unnecessarily.
