Help With Getting Text

[Wumbo]

I'm writing a macro for a text based game. I need a code that would read the text on the screen and act according to the text. Tried the wingettext and controlgettext but it didnt work properly.

While 1

Opt("WinWaitDelay",100)

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",4)

Opt("WinDetectHiddenText",1)

Opt("MouseCoordMode",0)

WinWait("Shimlar - Service Pack 3 Internet Explorer","")

If Not WinActive("Shimlar - Service Pack 3 Internet Explorer","") Then WinActivate("Shimlar - Service Pack 3 Internet Explorer","")

WinWaitActive("Shimlar - Service Pack 3 Internet Explorer","")

MouseMove(778,205)

MouseDown("left")

MouseUp("left")

Sleep(3000)

If WinGetText("Shimlar - Service Pack 3 Internet Explorer" [,"You aim for Soul of Corruption"] ) Then

MouseMove(829,220)

MouseDown("left")

MouseUp("left")

Sleep(3000)

elseIf WinGetText("Shimlar - Service Pack 3 Internet Explorer" [,"You attack A Soul of Corruption"] ) Then

MouseMove(829,220)

MouseDown("left")

MouseUp("left")

Sleep(3000)

If WinGetText("Shimlar - Service Pack 3 Internet Explorer" [,"Enemy is dead, R.I.P"] ) Then ExitLoop

endif

wend

If WinGetText("Shimlar - Service Pack 3 Internet Explorer" [,"You aim for Soul of Corruption"] ) Then

elseIf WinGetText("Shimlar - Service Pack 3 Internet Explorer" [,"You attack A Soul of Corruption"] ) Then 

If WinGetText("Shimlar - Service Pack 3 Internet Explorer" [,"Enemy is dead, R.I.P"] ) Then ExitLoop

ok those 3 lines have the square brakets in them the [ and ], you do NOT put those in the line, that is just a programming syntax reference to that item being optional.

so they should be like this in the same order you have them...

If WinGetText("Shimlar - Service Pack 3 Internet Explorer" ,"You aim for Soul of Corruption" ) Then

elseIf WinGetText("Shimlar - Service Pack 3 Internet Explorer" ,"You attack A Soul of Corruption" ) Then 

If WinGetText("Shimlar - Service Pack 3 Internet Explorer" ,"Enemy is dead, R.I.P" ) Then ExitLoop

Hope you understand, and this corrects your problem.

What sort of text based game is it? Is this an Online MUD?

If so, it would probably be better to set your mud client to output to a textfile and have your autoit script read that logfile and act accordingly.

But then, if you wanted that... and it IS a mud, why not just use a fully featured MUD client with triggers built in ?

from looking at his code it has mouseclicks, so I don't think it is a mud, and probably is not in realtime, or is a turn based, or "reload" based game, i imagine something like how neopets operates its "World"
