Question - Variables and +1

Recommended Posts

I've managed to do this before in one of my programs , but I haven't done auto-it in a while. This is pretty basic.

This is what I want to do:

It will send this first:

Game-1

Next time the function is called , I need it to send:

Game-2

I think it's something like

Send( "Game-" &$1)

$1 = $1 + 1

Or something simliar , but I keep getting errors. =/.

Nothing wrong that I can see providing you have set $i before the first send. What error do you get?

The Error:

C:\Documents and Settings\Dreu\Desktop\My Programs\AutoIt\Game_Creator.au3 (16) : ==> Variable used without being declared.:

$1 = $1 + 1

$1 = ^ ERROR

>Exit code: 1 Time: 2.235

The Script:

; Press Esc to terminate script, Pause/Break to "pause"
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")
HotKeySet("`", "Box")
HotKeySet("+!d", "ShowMessage") ;Shift-Alt-d

;;;; Body of program would go here;;;;
While 1

WEnd

Func Box()
    Run( "Notepad.Exe")
    WinWaitActive( "Untitled - Notepad")
    $1 = $1 + 1
    Send( "Game-" &$1)
EndFunc

Func Terminate()
    Exit 0
EndFunc

Func ShowMessage()
    $input = InputBox( "Game Name", "Please type in the desired game name.", "Game Name")
    MsgBox( 0, "None", "You entered: " &$input)
EndFunc

In the line $i = $I + 1 the compiler has to give a value to $I of $I + 1. But nothing has been said about $I before so it can't possibly work out $I + 1.

You have to at least give $I a starting value somewhere before you use it. So have a line near the start of your script

$I = 1

Or

Global $I = 1

Alright So I Declared It At The Top Of My Script, And I Changed All The Variables To "x" Instead Of 1. Still the same problem.

When I don't get Error , It just sends Game-1 over and over... Never moves on to Game-2

; Press Esc to terminate script, Pause/Break to "pause"
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")
HotKeySet("`", "Box")
HotKeySet("+!d", "ShowMessage") ;Shift-Alt-d

Global $x

;;;; Body of program would go here;;;;
While 1

WEnd
;;;;;;;;


Func Box()
    $x = 1
    WinWaitActive( "Untitled - Notepad")
    Send( "Game-" &$x)
    $x = $x + 1
    Send( "{ENTER}")
EndFunc

Func Terminate()
    Exit 0
EndFunc

Func ShowMessage()
    $input = InputBox( "Game Name", "Please type in the desired game name.", "Game Name")
    MsgBox( 0, "None", "You entered: " &$input)
EndFunc

Didn't test it but it should work

; Press Esc to terminate script, Pause/Break to "pause"
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")
HotKeySet("`", "Box")
HotKeySet("+!d", "ShowMessage") ;Shift-Alt-d

Global $x = 0

;;;; Body of program would go here;;;;
While 1

WEnd
;;;;;;;;


Func Box()
do
    WinWaitActive( "Untitled - Notepad")
    Send( "Game-" &$x)
    $x = $x + 1
    Send( "{ENTER}")
until $x = 1
EndFunc

Func Terminate()
    Exit 
EndFunc

Func ShowMessage()
do

    $input = InputBox( "Game Name", "Please type in the desired game name.", "Game Name")
    MsgBox( 0, "None", "You entered: " & $input)

$x = $x + 1
until $x = 1
EndFunc

You are re-setting $x = 1 every time you call Box(). That keeps the Global variable $x from being updated to a new value each time.
