Need Help On Starting Programming With Autoit.

[agr3kko]

Starting to use this great app, but my first script I wanna make is (you guessed it) a FFXI fishing script.

I wanted to start out on this (simple, I guess) script, then see if I can make more advanced scripts.

Here is a part where I open the menu and sort my inventory (menu opens with - )

fyeo (edit)

When I ran it, it ALMOST worked ; ; but it DIDNT go "UP" one when I did Send ("{UP}"); Confirming to AutoSort.

Do I need to have NumLock on/off? Or is it my error on programming? o.o

Did I do something wrong?

You may try tweaking sleep or SendKeyDelay up to higher values:

Func AutoSort()
  AutoItSetOption("SendKeyDelay", 800)
  Send ("{NUMPADSUB}{ENTER}{NUMPADADD}{ENTER}{UP}{ENTER}{ESC 2}")
EndFunc

...Just keep in mind that I've never seen the game, nor do I really understand your question -- so this is just a guess.

Excellent. Will try this out, seems to be what I may need^^;

EDIT: I am so frustrated! Still, no UP action ; ; is there another way?!

Here's the whole thing:

fyeo. (edit)

Everything works fine up to the UP part... it should go up, then ENTER, then go back two menus...

but it doesnt. When it doesnt, it still leaves one menu left, thus a messed up script.

You might take a look at SendKeyDownDelay too in the helfile (under the AutoItSetOption command.) Sometimes it is required to adjust that in games due to how the game will read keyboard input.

I'm kinda confused ; ; where would I find that? (still a noob, *sigh*)

In the HelpFile, as in Autoit.chm ......

[agr3kko]

Awesome, everything makes sense now

Will see if making maybe to 3 mili will do the trick!^^

[agr3kko]

GREAT! It fixed the problem flawlessly!

Set it to 4 miliseconds per. Ran it once, worked for one loop, then realized I was a dummy and didn't add that line to my loop (added it before everything else)

Thanks for the help, guys!

If you're talking about SendKeyDelay or SendKeyDownDelay, you don't need it (and probably shoulnd't have it) every iteration of your loop. It's a command to set an AutoItOption, and it only needs to be called once to take effect. It will remain in effect until you change the value, or the script ends.
