Mouse Position Stuff

[datkewlguy]

hey just wondering, how could i write a script that would get the mouse position and move it slightly in one direction specified? Not to a new set position just higher lower or left and right... Also, anyway to set up the hotkeys so that the left key would move the mouse left, right right etc...

MouseGetPos and MouseMove...

[datkewlguy]

i know but thats only good for moving to one spot, i just wanna move the mouse in a direction not knowing exactly where to.

[this-is-me]

Missing something?

;move right
$pos = MouseGetPos()
MouseMove($pos[0]+1,$pos[1])

[trids]

I would do something like this ..

• set $nXoffset to +1 or -1 depending on which arrow key is pressed (left or right).
• set $nYoffset to +1 or -1 depending on which arrow key is pressed (up or down).
• After setting the offsets, call a UDF that applies both offsets with a MouseMove.
• The UDF should also set both offsets to 0 before it returns.

HTH

Edit: spelling etc.

hey thx, but now im setting the diagnal motions (northeast, northwest, southeast, southwest), how do i do that? if

Func s()

$pos = MouseGetPos()

MouseMove($pos[0], $pos[1] + $sp, 1)

EndFunc

is down, then how do i do diagnals?

[datkewlguy]

uh that mean no one knows or its impossible? i gotta find out how to set the mouse to move into a diagnal position...

You're going to feel like such an idiot when you realize the answer to this...

What happens when the mouse moves, say, south-west? What directions does it move in?

[datkewlguy]

gah i am an idiot yes, ive been doing this for a couple days now, but i see what you're saying ( i think ) and it didnt work, can you give me a code?

[layer]

.... just use corrdinates... like this...

MouseMove (0, 0)
MouseMove (525, 400)

now you feel the idiot in yourslef coming in? jk

[datkewlguy]

no no no, it cant be coordinates, i have the system down, basically i thought you just do + the variable from right and up to make northeast, but that makes southwest, im trying to be able to control the moues with arrow keys and everything works except diagnals. no its not even so much about having them i just want them so i dont feel so stupid lol.
