Need help sleep/loop.

[Dequalityy]

Hello this is my very first topic on this forum just created my account because i couldnt find my answer no where (probably overseen it!)

My problem is this. 

In the While (1) i have the pixelsearch, yea hurray it works etc! BUT , the Call("StayOnline") are supposed to sleep for somewhere between 720000MS To 1080000MS and that seems to be working great BUT! while that sleep timer is ongoing it should keep pixel searching constant.. i can't seem to find anything about it =( any help appreciatet!

 

Thx in advance!

While (1)
                            
        $blah = PixelSearch(686, 118, 1102, 487, 0xFFD166, 0) ; Search for OK button.

        If NOT(@error) Then ; If okay button pop's up this will execute a click on the OK button.
            MouseMove($blah[0]+5, $blah[1]+5, 0)
            Sleep(2000)
            MouseClick("left", $blah[0]+5, $blah[1]+5, 2, 0)
            Sleep(1000)
        EndIf

        If (@error) Then
            Call("StayOnline")
        EndIf

    WEnd

    Func StayOnline() ; Keeps you online.

            Send("{UP}", 0)
            Sleep(Random(50, 250, 0)
            Send("{DOWN}", 0)
            Sleep(Random(720000, 1080000, 0))

    EndFunc

Sleep is a blocking function, it will do just what it says.  Put the entire script to sleep until the wait is over.

For what you want to do, you may look to use timers instead or rebuild the script to work differently such as AdLibRegister() for your StayOnline portion of the script.

I'm just getting started with AutoIT, how would i do that ? can u make me a example? it still needs to be a random amount of time between 720000 MS to 1080000 MS

Might have it lol.. Can i really do it just like this?

Func StayOnline() ; Keeps you online.

            Send("{UP}", 0)
            Sleep(Random(50, 250, 0)
            Send("{DOWN}", 0)
            AdlibRegister(Random(720000, 1080000, 0))

    EndFunc

Okay, well that didnt work it spammed it like if there wasnt a sleep/timer :/

[kcvinu]

Why go for mouse move and click ? Why don't you use ControlClick ?. And don't call the StayOnline function in a separate if statement. Use an else statement in first if statement.

As mentioned kcvinu i just started using AutoIT  im not very familiar with coding at ALL.

So, would it be like this instead? 

While (1)

        $blah = PixelSearch(686, 118, 1102, 487, 0xFFD166, 0) ; Search for OK button.

        If NOT(@error) Then ; If okay button pop's up this will execute a click on the OK button.
            
            MouseMove($blah[0]+5, $blah[1]+5, 0)
            Sleep(2000)
            MouseClick("left", $blah[0]+5, $blah[1]+5, 2, 0)
            Sleep(1000)
        
        Else If (@error) Then
        
            Call("StayOnline")
        
        EndIf
        
    WEnd

Or did i misunderstand ? =) & how exactly does ControlClick work?

[Dequalityy]

kcinvu, it's somewhat still spamming up & down even with (AdlibRegister(Random, 720000, 1080000, 0)) :|

[AutoBert]

What's the online app you want to automate? Mostly there are better way's than mouseclick etc. Try IE.au3 or one of the other browser udf's

[kcvinu]

If you use control click function, then you don't need to tell the mouse position.

How does it know where to click then? <.< 

The Pixelsearch is a button it needs to click? =) 

And could anyone answer my question on why it doesnt "pause" / times out for the time i set it to ? it's annoying

Oh and the button i want it to click isnt always showing up at the same position, thats why i used this function

[Dequalityy]

Okay, i figured out it needs to be used to call the function i want it used with i see, BUT the timing should still be random could i do it this way

 

AdlibRegister(StayOnline(Random(720000, 1080000, 0,))) ? or cant u do it that way? ^^ 

[kcvinu]

Have you read the help file for ControlClick function ?

[Dequalityy]

kcivnu yea, just did but i doubt it got any name, well the window itself for the client got a name true, but don't think the window inside (the one that pops up with the OK button) doesnt have a name?

[Dequalityy]

Anyways, the way i make it click isnt the problem honestly, the problem is i can't seem to figure out how to make AdlibRegister use a random timer? is it even possible if not is there another function that works just like adlibregister but with a random timer between 2 numbers? =)

The numbers i need is pretty high as seen in the topic itself (720000 -> 1080000) it should a number randomly between those ..

[Dequalityy]

Really no option like AdlibRegister? just where u can put in a min & max (randomized)

 

can't figure out a way to get this working grrr..

 

Dequalityy.

[kcvinu]

Random will return a floating point number if you give 0 as flag. So give 1 as flag. You will get a complete number.

And mind it - AdlibRegister will work regardless sleep

AdlibRegister("beeper", Random(0, 2000, 1))

While True
    Sleep(1000)
WEnd

Func beeper()
    AdlibUnRegister("beeper")
    Beep(1500, 200)
    AdlibRegister("beeper", Random(0, 2000, 1))
EndFunc   ;==>beeper
