Simple script, but i need help.


Recommended Posts

I'm a newbie to autoit, and i've been toying with this script for a few days and i can't get it right.

What it want it to do is whenever i press caps lock, press escape, click the mouse at location 400,240 instantly, and that's it.

The code i'm using is below, it presses escape and clicks at the right spot, but then continues pressing escape so i exit out of everything until it gives me an overflow error.

What i want to do is have it quickly escape click, then stop and not execute any furthermore actions. Then if i press caps lock again, it'll escape+click quickly and so on and so fort, so i can keep using it.

I know it's very simple and i've looked all over, in the f1 help in autoit, but i keep getting the same thing >.<

Thanks in advance for any help!

Global $Paused
HotKeySet("{CAPSLOCK}", "TogglePause")
HotKeySet("{HOME}", "Terminate")

While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func TogglePause()
    $Paused = NOT $Paused
        Send ("{esc}")
        MouseClick("left", 400, 240, 2, 0)
        Sleep(5)
EndFunc

Func Terminate()
    Exit 0
EndFunc

Just for clarity, I would initialize $Paused as 1 or 0 with Global $Paused = 0, or some such, but that is not your problem. Maybe you should try it with a key that does not "lock" the way CapsLock does. Does it work if you use HotKeySet("!p", "TogglePause") instead (Alt + p)?

:D

Yes, i've tried to see if that was the problem (tried LSHIFT and F1) but it still keeps looping till i get an overflow error.

Global $Paused = 1
HotKeySet("{CAPSLOCK}", "TogglePause")
HotKeySet("{HOME}", "Terminate")

While 1
    If Not $Paused Then
        Send("{esc}")
        MouseClick("left", 400, 240, 2, 0)
        Sleep(5)
        TogglePause()
    Else
        Sleep(100)
    EndIf
WEnd

Func TogglePause()
    $Paused = Not $Paused
EndFunc   ;==>TogglePause

Func Terminate()
    Exit 0
EndFunc   ;==>Terminate

Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.

By my reading (just running it in my head 'cause I'm not on a Windows box right now) that changes the functionality. Oops. Missed the call to TogglePause() inside the loop. :">

P.S. I don't think we have all the code from Gift3d. Per the quote below, he is getting overflows. That's not coming from the snippet we have, is it?

...it still keeps looping till i get an overflow error.

By my reading (just running it in my head 'cause I'm not on a Windows box right now) that changes the functionality. I don't think he wants it to repeat the ESC, Click sequence, just do it once per hotkey press. It's not at all clear to me what $Paused is being used for in his original script (if anything), and your version gives it a purpose, but the text description reads as once per press. :D

P.S. I don't think we have all the code from Gift3d. Per the quote below, he is getting overflows. That's not coming from the snippet we have, is it?

That's exactly what it does, once per hotkey press, press CapsLock and it does the sequence and then toggles the pause so it doesn't repeat.

Sheepishly noted... :">

Do you see anything in there that could cause an overflow without there being more code involved? Can you get that just from hitting a key repeatedly?

Just taking what he had, removing the unused reference to $Paused, seems it should have worked:

HotKeySet("{CAPSLOCK}", "EscClick")
HotKeySet("{HOME}", "Terminate")

While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func EscClick()
    Send ("{esc}")
    MouseClick("left", 400, 240, 2, 0)
    Sleep(5)
EndFunc

Func Terminate()
    Exit 0
EndFunc

:D

Couldn't see any reason from the code that was posted.
