My first Auto-it proggie :)

[bb05]

ok i know this is really not the greatest app in the world.. but hey I get lazy when i play san andreas and typing in cheats for it.

here's my code so far of what i've got:

HotkeySet("{END}","_end")
HotkeySet("{HOME}","cheat")
While 1
    WinActivate("GTA: San Andreas")
    Sleep(100)
    WEnd
Func _end()
Exit 0
EndFunc
Func cheat()
Send("uzumymw")
Sleep(200)
Send("hesoyam")
Sleep(200)
EndFunc
Exit

it runs and cheats work, im just curious if anyone would have done it differently. i did a little searching through the help file but found this the easiest way for me to get it working

comments appreciated.

edit: I am curious, would there be a way to autoactivate a window from a variable:

eg: a screen that has GTA in the title, instead of having to type out the whole wintitle for WinActivate.

2nd edit:

is there an easy way to find out what the keys are on the keyboard:

i know {HOME} represents the home key but how would i find out what every key's value is for in autoit? (dont need to know letters or numbers, got that part figured out ) Looking to figure out like the F-Keys, tabs, caps lock, etc.

thanks again

Looks great What do you mean by autoactivate a window from a variable? Im not sure thats all

[bb05]

instead of typing out the entire window title (eg: GTA: San Andreas) is there a way to just have it search for part of text in a title (eg: GTA:) or something similar to that?

Use opt("WinTitleMatchMode",2)

[jokke]

Lets say your gta window is named GTA: San Andreas v.1.14

With code under $wintitle will now be "GTA: San Andreas v.1.14"

$wintitle = 'GTA'
$wintitle = WinGetTitle($wintitle)

$wintitle = WinGetTitle($wintitle)

shouldnt

$wintitle = WinGetTitle($wintitle)

be

WinActivate($wintitle) ?

sorry for my ignorance

edit:

so this is what i have now as my code:

HotkeySet("{END}","_end")
HotkeySet("{HOME}","cheat")
While 1
    $wintitle = 'GTA'
    $wintitle = WinGetTitle($wintitle)
    WinActivate($wintitle)
    Sleep(100)
    WEnd
Func _end()
Exit 0
EndFunc
Func cheat()
Send("uzumymw")
Sleep(200)
Send("hesoyam")
EndFunc
Exit

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",2)

HotKeySet("{END}", "_Exit")
HotKeySet("{HOME}", "Cheat")

WinActivate("GTA")

While 1
    Sleep(0xFFFFFF)
WEnd

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

Func Cheat()
    Send("uzumymw")
    Sleep(200)
    Send("hesoyam")
    Sleep(200)
EndFunc   ;==>Cheat

Just minor details..

Ok, I understand everything that you did (and note that it looks great) but what exactly what does this do?

Sleep(0xFFFFFF)

I know its a delay but i thought you had to have a number in there for delaying?

0xFFFFFF is actually a number, only in another number system than the more familiar Decimal system, it's in Hexadecimal (meaning 16-based instead of 10-based). See for instance: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexadecimal

So FFFFFF is 16777215. Sleep(0xFFFFFF) is just a quick&dirty easy way of telling the script to pause for a very long time (amounts to about 4.6 hours if I calculated correctly).
