Opt("TrayIconDebug", 1)
Opt("MouseCoordMode", 0)

HotKeySet("{PGUP}","moveit")
While 1
 Sleep(5)
Wend

Func moveit()
 $pos = MouseGetPos()
 MsgBox(0, "X/Y:", $pos[0] "," $pos[1])
 MouseDown("left")
 MouseMove($pos[0], $pos[1]+4, 4)
 Sleep(110)
 MouseUp("left")
 $pos = MouseGetPos()
 MsgBox(0, "X/Y:", $pos[0] "," $pos[1])
 MouseMove($pos[0], $pos[1]-4, 4)
 Sleep(50)
 MsgBox(0, "X/Y:", $pos[0] "," $pos[1])
EndFunc

but that just returns always same x y coordinates...makes no diff. if i use

Opt("MouseCoordMode", 0) or Opt("MouseCoordMode", 1)

Is it a full screen 3d window?

i tried it windowed and fullscreen same results...

[this-is-me 4]

Does the cursor in the game look different than the regular windows cursor? If so, the ACTUAL cursor position is really staying in the same spot, and the game is taking over the cursor function. If that is so, then you will never be able to get the position of the game's cursor.

Here is some code I use and it works windowed or not in Lineage2...

Func back2L2()
   $CENTER_X = @DesktopWidth / 2 
   $CENTER_Y = @DesktopHeight / 2
   $pos = MouseGetPos()
   MouseClick("left", $CENTER_X, $CENTER_Y , 0)
   sleep(200)
   MouseMove($pos[0], $pos[1], 0)
endFunc

ok. here is what you do

the game window is not able to get coordinates, because it takes up the full screen, and is not in window mode.

make a shortcut to the game (right click.. add shortcut)

then , right clck the shortcut and select properties

at the END of the target.. just add -w

that will make the game load into a window.. instead of taking up the whole screen. and then mousegetcoor will work

later

That is completely false. The only game I know of that does that is Diablo II. Other Blizzard games might also support that; some other games may also support it, but not all. Somebody else has already pointed this out to you. Command line options are not global across applications.

ill try that thx

btw.: what is lineage for a game`? maybe u know which engine?

[t0ddie 0]

i thought it was supported globally.

because of the fact that the game is FULLSCREEN and that blizzard intended

it to be that way, i thought the -w was a way of getting around that.

since it is not in the game manual, i thought they did not want you to be able to do that.

so, why would they include the option of being able to do that?

i thought it applied to ANY full screen application.

it was just a suggestion, and i stand corrected.

but try it, never know. might work.

Lineage II uses a modded Unreal engine.

There are so many flaws in that logic that I'm at a loss on where to begin.
