Loop Forever..

[Jasio]

how do i just make something run forever until i stop it manually.. also, is it possible to stop it when i click "P" or another key?

[greenmachine]

HotKeySet ("p", "quitme")

While 1
    Sleep (100); just sleeps forever....
WEnd

Func quitme()
    Exit
EndFunc

[Jasio]

i dont understand this

While 1

Sleep (100); just sleeps forever....

WEnd

[Jasio]

Another question.. is it possible to have the program locate text, or a specific image and click on it?

[greenmachine]

While 1 / WEnd is an infinite loop. Sleep is just that.

It might be clearer to say-

While 1=1; Stay in the loop as long as 1 is equal to 1 (always ^_^ )
      Sleep(100) 
Wend

Does that help?

While 1 is kinda just "shorthand" or so...

More details please.. where would this text or image be?

[Jasio]

This text/image appears on a different spot, on a website, every time it is clicked.. so i want the script to search the entire page for the image.. if you want i can post a picture of it.. the text isnt "highlightable" so im not sure if the bot can read it.. thanks

Use IE.au3 for work with websites. http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=13398

Post the image and I'll check it out.

Can anyone help with making the script find the "Start Research !" button and clicking it?

[greenmachine]

Where did you find that image? In other words... give me the link to the site (or post source) so I can see how to automate it.

[kcd-clan]

hotkeyset("p","stop")

while 1
msgbox(0,"HAHAHAHA","This is going to happen for ever.");The todo
wend

func stop()
EXIT
endfunc

I dont get it the image aprear any where on the site or script

u must tell us where you want the button to appear, your gonna have to make a GUI if you want it to be a button, or splashimage to just to put it on the screen, u got to tell us what u want it to do

[Jasio]

i want the script to FIND the button.. not create it (thatsgreat2345).. the button was off of a webpage.. but you have to be a member to get on it

Basically the program i want plays the game for you.. simple enough, but every time you click the "Start Research !" button, the page reloads (after researching). I want the program to find the button (it moves up or down, because a different message is displayed every time you click it (randomly).. Clicking each spot its possible to land on doesnt work, because there are other things to click that would take you off of the site or to another page..

so if i set while 1 to while 0 it should quit the loop? but keep the script?

hotkeyset("{esc}","end")
while 1
    msgbox(0,"Massage me",".....")
WEnd

func end()
while 0
    msgbox(0,"Massage me",".....")
wend
EndFunc
