AU3Win_Spy

[Guest BL@(K-R34P3R]

I am still working on my game script... Anyways, here's the new problem. I got it to load fine, but now I am trying to get it to mouseclick the "Play" button. I open the game, (Maximized), then I start up WinSpy, then I put the mouse over the "Play" button, then I alt tab back to the win spy, it says the position on the desktop and in the window, both of them are the same. I put those coordinates into my mouse click, then I run the script, and it clicks the side of the screen somewhere.... It should be clicking the play button... Part of the problem is, every time I start the game, I put the cursor to the same place, over the "Play" button, and everytime I alt tab out of them program, and look at the x,y coordinates in the WinSpy, they are different, and I mean a LOT different... Like 500 from each of them. Either WinSpy has let me down, or I need to do something.... Help?

I wish there was an easier way then clicking... Is it possible to just detect the text then Send enter or something?

Couple things. Is the game running in the same resolution as your desktop? Personally, I would take a screenshot with Fraps, open it in paint or something and get the coords from there.

Actually the game is running a slightly different resolution... Hmm.... I'll make them the same then try again! Thanks.

try using the "In Window: x:### y:###"

and before u alt+tab out press Ctrl+alt+f over the play button to freeze the au3 swindow spy with the play button coords....yea ive done thins b4 too...except to logon to diablo...

[Guest BL@(K-R34P3R]

The thing is, the In Window, and In Desktop coords. are the same. I tried the ctrl alt f thing but it's still not working. Maybe morrowind has some 3rd party program stopper or something.

[ifthenhelpme]

doubt it...double check the script ur use for anything that isnt supposed to be there or do that...

[this-is-me]

When you hit ctrl+alt+f while in the game, does the au3_spy say paused in the titlebar?

[Guest BL@(K-R34P3R]

I don't know, I'll go check it out right now.

i had the same problem and wrote a scriptwriter to solve it ( "MouseGetPos()" )

U can test my scriptwriter for games ... i got a funktion, that other scriptwriters doesn't have: the function to avoid sleep() that isn't allways running proper, cause sometimes the delays are larger and then the script doesn't work

1. u take 2 Positions from the screen with hotkeys (alt+1 then alt+2) and the written script waits for the same pixelfield to show up and then continues ( the pixels must be taken from upleft to downright)

2. simple keylogger with alt+key to log the key and send it

3. mouselogger with hotkeys alt+3 (for left) and alt+4 for right click

4. logs strg+1(-5) at press and 1-5 too

5. alt+5 to exit

It not a very good Scriptwriter, but it worked fine for me and it was all that i needed

u need the file pixelfunc.au3 in the same folder to use the script

Seriously man, I really strongly suggest you dl Fraps and use it to take a screenshot. If you work with games this is pretty much a *must* have. You will solve your problems if you follow this advice.

[Guest BL@(K-R34P3R]

I downloaded fraps, I'll go try it now. OO. I just thought it would work normally, because I wrote a similar script for my starcraft winbot, and it worked fine with just Alt +Tab to retrieve coordinates.
