Start programm with down arrow key

[Franz135]

 

Hello everybody,

I created a simple AutoIT bot. The bot should simply click the mouse at two points defined by me.

My problem: I want (after the program was started with F5) the commands to be activated with the down arrow key. How do I do this or what am I doing wrong?

My previous code:

HotKeySet ( "{DOWN}","_start" )
HotKeySet ( "{UP}","_pause" )
HotKeySet ( "{END}","_exit" )

Global $go = 0

Func _start()
$go = 1
EndFunc
Func _pause()
$go = 0
EndFunc
Func _exit()
Exit
EndFunc

MouseClick("left",912,271,1,1)
Sleep(10)
MouseClick("left",912,718,1,1)
Sleep(10)

Thanks!

You're not doing anything with the $go variable, try this (and please use a code block in future posts):

HotKeySet ( "{DOWN}","_start" )
HotKeySet ( "{UP}","_pause" )
HotKeySet ( "{END}","_exit" )

Global $go = 0


While(1)
    If($go) Then
        MouseClick("left",912,271,1,1)
        Sleep(100)
        MouseClick("left",912,718,1,1)
        $go=0
    Else
        Sleep(1)
    EndIf
WEnd

Func _start()
    $go = 1
EndFunc
Func _pause()
    $go = 0
EndFunc
Func _exit()
    Exit
EndFunc

May I ask you what is the application you are trying to automate ?  Because there is better ways to do it without MouseClicks.

@Sidley Thanks!

The reason for the program is that I want to quickly reserve places on a website (library) that are taken after two seconds (see picture). I have some ideas how to make the programm better but I dont know how to implement them.

 

I want the program to press the refresh button in my browser at 8:59:59 a.m. After loading the website, it should click on the empty box and the "anmelden" (register) button immediately.

You should definitely look in to use Web automation UDF like IE or WebDriver.  It will be way easier for you to get robust script than trying to use MouseClicks.   IE is part of the installation of AutoIt and it is well documented in help file.
