Send a long sentence?

[tom13]

Hi,

I want to let my AutoIT script send the following sentence:

/script if ( GetMinimapZoneText() == "Alterac Valley" ) then SetBinding("NUMPAD2", "MOVEFORWARD"); end

But this doesn't works:

Send("/script if ( GetMinimapZoneText() == "Alterac Valley" ) then SetBinding("NUMPAD2", "MOVEFORWARD"); end")

I looked into the helpfile but couldnt figure it out.. anyone can help me out?

Send('/script if ( GetMinimapZoneText() == "Alterac Valley" ) then SetBinding("NUMPAD2", "MOVEFORWARD"); end')

Notice the single quotes

Look at the syntax colouring, green is supposed to be string.

Thanks

I found a problem, when I execute the script it types Ä instead of A:

/script if ( GetMinimapZoneText() == "Alterac Valley" ) then SetBinding("NUMPAD1", "TURNLEFT"); SetBinding("NUMPAD2", "MOVEFORWARD"); SetBinding("NUMPAD3", "TURNRIGHT"); else SetBinding("NUMPAD1"); SetBinding("NUMPAD2"); SetBinding("NUMPAD3"); end

Becomes:

/script if ( GetMinimapZoneText() == "Älterac Valley" ) then SetBinding("NUMPAD1", "TURNLEFT"); SetBinding("NUMPAD2", "MOVEFORWARD"); SetBinding("NUMPAD3", "TURNRIGHT"); else SetBinding("NUMPAD1"); SetBinding("NUMPAD2"); SetBinding("NUMPAD3"); end

How can I solve this ?

Try using the 2nd parameter of sending raw characters.

Try using the 2nd parameter of sending raw characters.

Sorry but I'm not that good in AutoIT, what do you mean with second parameter?

[MHz]

Send('text', 1) ; The 1 is the 2nd parameter of the function call.

[gamepin126]

Send ( "keys" [, flag] )

flag

[optional] Changes how "keys" is processed:

flag = 0 (default), Text contains special characters like + and ! to indicate SHIFT and ALT key-presses.

flag = 1, keys are sent raw.

Send('/script if ( GetMinimapZoneText() == "Alterac Valley" ) then SetBinding("NUMPAD2", "MOVEFORWARD"); end', 1)

'' and "" can be used interchangeably

Thanks, but after I tried this it still inserted a Ä instead of A any other idea?

Suppose you are sending to a console type of screen with a shirt-state issue. You could try using ControlSend() or search the forum for _ControlSendPlus() UDF (user defined function) made by Pekster.

I figured that it has to do with "A

It first fires " then A

and if you do that on the keyboard you get Ä

but if you do the same with N you get "N

So it should first do " then SPACE then A which results in "A

is that possible with just 1 Send() command?

If the syntax is not case sensitive then try a small "a". Your could also try using Chr(34) that may help solve the issue.

Send('/script if ( GetMinimapZoneText() == ' & Chr(34) & 'Alterac Valley" ) then SetBinding("NUMPAD2", "MOVEFORWARD"); end')
