Function not working with array

[JonJablonowski]

I'm trying to have an auto clicker where I save x,y positions and have potential text (like click counter) as well as time between clicks (4 parameters).

I'm saving the clicks in an array but can't get the function to work

 

Local $aClicks[3][4] = [[100, 100, "Test", 1000] _
        , [200, 200, " Test2", 1500] _
        , [200, 200, " Test3", 2000]]
        

        Clicking($aClicks)

With Clicking being this function

 

Func Clicking($x, $y, $s = "", $z = 1000)

 

But I'm constantly getting an error pointing to "Clicking($aClicks)" and saying

 

Error: Incorrect number of parameters in function call.

 

If I write this instead it works

 

Local $aClicks[3][2] = [[100, 100] _
        , [200, 200] _
        , [200, 200]]
        

        Clicking($aClicks, "Test", 1000)

 

But then I only get the X and Y pos.

I just don't understand how the first case is giving me errors, given the array is given 4 parameters to each element, which the function requires.

In first example you are calling Clicking with a single parameter and below your function has at least 2 mandatory parameters ($x, $y) out of 4 parameters. Isn't this self explanatory?

If you want to use the first example then your function should look like this:

Local $aClicks[3][4] = [[100, 100, "Test", 1000] _
        , [200, 200, " Test2", 1500] _
        , [200, 200, " Test3", 2000]]
        

Clicking($aClicks)

Func Clicking($aClicks)
    ; Your code here
EndFunc

Or if you want to preserve your original function with 4 parameters you can do something like this:

Local $aClicks[3][4] = [[100, 100, "Test", 1000] _
        , [200, 200, " Test2", 1500] _
        , [200, 200, " Test3", 2000]]
        

ClickingArray($aClicks)

Func ClickingArray($aClicks)
    For $Index = 0 To UBound($aClicks) - 1
        Clicking($aClicks[$Index][0], $aClicks[$Index][1], $aClicks[$Index][2], $aClicks[$Index][3])
    Next
EndFunc

Func Clicking($x, $y, $s = "", $z = 1000)
    ; Your original function
EndFunc

It's not. I'm obviously wrong since it's not working but the way I read it is that in the first case I'm providing 4 parameters (the two mandatory ones and the 2 optional ones) while in the second case I'm only giving the 2 mandatory ones and leave the optional ones as default.

I'm very new to this so I'm trying to wrap my head around things.

        Clicking($aClicks)

I see a single parameter here ($aClicks). Where is the second parameter?

But isn't $aClicks made up of [100, 100, "Test", 1000] which is 4 parameters?

[Andreik]

No. These are dimensions of an array not arguments of a function.

[JonJablonowski]

Ok, sounds like this is way out of my league and I'll go back to simpler things for now. Thanks for helping out!

[Andreik]

It's kinda simple. All arguments of a function are separated by a comma. Even if a variable is an array and contains multiple data it doesn't mean that when this variable it's passed to a function it takes up more than a single parameter. See example below:

$Int = 48
$String = "This is a test"
Dim $Array[3] = ["I can hold multiple data", "But I am a single variable", "And I am passed as a single parameter to a function"]

Test($Int, $String, $Array)

Func Test($Param1, $Param2, $Param3)
    ConsoleWrite(VarGetType($Param1) & @CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite(VarGetType($Param2) & @CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite(VarGetType($Param3) & @CRLF)
EndFunc

Thanks! That clears it up in my head. Much love!
