Locking Y Axis

[Nino]

Can someone teach me how to lock the Y-axis so that you can only move left or right while holding down a key of somesort? I can't figure it out how I should begin attempting this, it's for a game(Counter Strike).

Many thanks,

Nino

When you say Y axis, do you mean the coordinates of the mouse?

[xcal]

You'll probably want to put MouseGetPos() in a loop, save it to a $var. Have an inner loop you can toggle on/off with a new MouseGetPos() in a $newvar. Then do something like, If $var[0] <> $newvar[0] Then MouseMove($var[0], $newvar[1], 0).

Like the center of your screen, and from that point on you can't move up or down only left/right. Maybe desktop resolution plays a role in this?

Oh, I got what you wanted to do backwards. You could just reverse what I said above. If you wanted to lock it to the center of the screen, then look in to the @DesktopHeight macro and / that by 2 for the MouseMove() 's Y.

edit - it'd look something like this (related to my previous post): If $var[1] <> $newvar[1] Then MouseMove($newvar[0], @DesktopHeight / 2, 0)

HotKeySet("{HOME}", "Lock")



Func Lock()
    $var=0
    $newvar=0
   If $var[1] <> $newvar[1] Then MouseMove($newvar[0], @DesktopHeight / 2, 0) 
EndFunc

Thanks xcal!

EDIT: I suck at arrays.

Not quite what I had in mind, but if you got it working for you, cool.

HotKeySet('{esc}', 'quit')
HotKeySet('{F2}', 'lockx')

$lockx = False

While 1
    While $lockx
        $pos = MouseGetPos()
        MouseMove($pos[0], @DesktopHeight / 2, 0)
    WEnd
    Sleep(50)
WEnd

Func lockx()
    $lockx = Not $lockx
EndFunc


Func quit()
    MsgBox(0, '', 'Exiting...', 1)
    Sleep(1000)
    Exit
EndFunc

;edit - just noticed I had old stuff in there... removed it.

Thank you very much for the help xcal!

Just have one more question, for this to work in game(Counter Strike), would my desktop resolution have to be the same as my in-game resolution? It seems to have no effect when I am in game and I hit F2. I added a

WinWait("Counter Strike")

In the While/Wend and that also doesn't seem to have any effect.

No clue... game prob has some kind of protection. I don't use autoit for games, so can't help you there.

Yes, VAC security will no doubt block any program while in in-game
