Automated Clicking Pauses Script

[Zachary Lewis]

I've written a script that does nothing more than click the mouse once every ten seconds; however, the location that I want to click is inside the game window of Lineage II. The script will click on the area once, activating the game window, then pause the script when Lineage II becomes the active window.

How can I keep the script from pausing when in Lineage II to allow it to continue sending clicks? Has anyone else had this problem? I want to use the script to create Soulshots so I don't have to sit at the computer all day.

Do
  MouseClick( "left", 460, 460, 1, 0)
  Sleep( 10000 )
Until 1 == 0

It isnt pausing the script. While I cant be for sure because you havent posted your code... Lineage II probably blocks progmatically sent mouseclicks.

The code is really simple:

Do
  MouseClick( "left", 460, 460, 1, 0)
  Sleep( 10000 )
Until 1 == 0

Is there any way to register the automated mouse clicks as actual clicks instead of programmed clicks?

Adlibenable("_Bla",10000)
While 1
;;;;
Wend
Func _Bla()
MouseClick( "left", 460, 460, 1, 0)
EndFunc

@Daniel W.

What exactly does that code do? Could you explain it a bit to me so I know what is going on?

[Daniel W.]

Adlibenable("_Bla",10000) ;This func calls _Bla every 10000 Ms 
While 1
;;;; What you want to do goes here
Wend
Func _Bla() ;and this is the function that does the mouseclick
MouseClick( "left", 460, 460, 1, 0)
EndFunc

So, why does that work better than a looped Sleep/MouseClick?

Does calling the function make the program think the clicks are real?

[Daniel W.]

No but whenever you use a sleep command with a func call the loop gets stuck ...

I just found out that Lineage II directly communicates with the computer's IOs. Is there any way to make AutoIt the default IO ports so the game will only see the AutoIt script, not the mouse with a script running it?

Lineage II uses an anti-cheat protection called nProtect. So, like I said in my first post, you are pretty much SOL. I myself got around nProtect with a ready made injection DLL someone wrote on a game hacking forum awhile back (to be able to script Pangya, the golf MMO). They have since patched this hole and as far as I know there arent any pubically available workarounds/hacks.
