Help with script

[Guest Guest_Nathan546]

Im trying to make it get the cordinates of something and put them into a config file heres what i have but when i run it it clicks in the wrong spot.

$thing = IniRead("Config.ini", "Cordinates", "thing", "Thing Not Found")

Sleep(2000)

MouseClick("left", $thing, 1)

and the file to get the cordinates has this

Sleep(1000)

MsgBox(4096, "Paused", "Put your cursor on the cordinates",)

Sleep(5000)

$pos = MouseGetPos()

IniWrite("Config.ini", "Cordinates", "thing", $pos[0] & "," & $pos[1])

MsgBox(4096, "Paused", "thing cordinates have been set",)

when i run the cordinates script and it sets the cordinates fine, then i run the script to make it click at the cordinates and it clicks completly off.

Whats wrong!?

Thanks.

Ok it still doesn't work but, i changed

IniWrite("Config.ini", "Cordinates", "thing", $pos[0] & "," & $pos[1])

to

IniWrite("Config.ini", "Cordinates", "thing", $pos[0] & ", " & $pos[1])

theirs a space that i added. Space here^^

And now when i take the cordinates out of the config manually and insert them into the script it clicks in the right spot but when i tell it to read it from the config file thing it doesnt click in the right spot.

Help again.

Thanks.

Sleep(2000)

MouseClick("left", $pos[0] & ", " & $pos[1], 1)

When it clicks its, it clicks completly at the top of my screen, so the cordinates 1, 1 work but thats about all.

$user = IniRead("Config.ini", "Cordinates", "user", "not found")

MouseClick("left", $user, 1, 1)

[Cordinates]

user=1, 1

but if user is something like

user=800, 700

it doesnt even get close to where its supposed to click.

Found the problem. You can't use the comma as a string, since you actually want to give another argument. Also, when you read from the ini file in your first example, it's the entire string. So, it actually ended up sending MouseClick("left", "800,600", 1). Now, to further understand why it clicked the top of your screen, remember that AutoIt uses a string as the number 0 if it should have been a number. That accounts for your strange click location.

In the quoted example above in this post, you'll notice you have the same problem. It's actually clicking at the coordinates (0, 1) since the string is 0, and you gave it a 1 (probably ment to be the number of clicks, but since that's optional, AutoIt thought you ment coordinates 0 by 1.)

To solve your problem, don't concatenate your paramaters. Just use $pos[0], $pos[1]. Also, you'd have to parse your string that you sent to your ini to get 2 seperate paramaters that you can enter.

Thanks i came up with this after you gave me some help.

Sleep(1000)

MsgBox(4096, "Paused", "Put cursor on cordinates",)

Sleep(3000)

$Cordinates = MouseGetPos()

MsgBox(4096, "Paused", "Cordinates Set",)

Mouseclick("left", $Cordinates[0], $Cordinates[1], 1, 1)

Going to try to put it in a ini now.
