Trying to script a simple macro for a game

[Hindsight]

I'm trying to script a simple action for a game called Priston Tale. I've been able to use a script I found here in the game. (x,y coordinate display-under the mouse) My script works on the desktop. I'm a huge noob. Is there anything I'm forgetting or doing wrong? Thanks ahead of time for any help.

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate"); a way out of this
HotKeySet("+!d", "Wolf") ;Shift-Alt-d

While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func Wolf()
    MouseMove(25, 25)
    MouseClick("left")
    MouseClick("left")
EndFunc  ;==>Wolf

Func Terminate()
    Exit 0
EndFunc  ;==>Terminate

what is it that you wanted this code to do?

what is it that you wanted this code to do?

It's basically just starting code. I'm just trying to learn the mechanics. However, the script is supposed to move the mouse up to a spot at 25,25 and double click. Basically the double click is supposed to automate a change on a skill I'm using. When I use it on my desktop it double clicks the top left icon. When I use it in game, it does absolutely nothing.

maybe the game is blocking it somehow... you might try changing the macro to a function key just to see if that might work.

Does Shift Alt D do anything in the game normally?

This may sound ridiculous but I've tried sticking F12 in there to no avail. :/ How do you use function keys?

[Aiakonai]

when you used the function key did you put it in braces?

hotkeyset("{F12}","Wolf")

[JFee]

As in you want to set the hotkey to be F12?

HotKeySet("{F12}", "Wolf");F12

Edit: Damn, you beat me muttley

Yea it's wierd... It's not doing anything when I press F12.

[Hindsight]

Ok it looks as though my F12 key is broken. muttley Brb.

[Aiakonai]

That key may also be reserved... i tried it on my desktop to no avail, but F2 seemed to work fine

[Hindsight]

Ok I tried f7. It didn't work. I tried the tilde key. That didn't work. Any other suggestions? Would using the _IfPressed function yield any different results?

It sounds like the game itself may be preventing your program from doing anything is it possible to minimize it ?

or is it a fullscreen application?

[Hindsight]

It's full screen and unminimizable. muttley

[Hindsight]

I guess what I'm confused about is why I could see the cursor application.

what happens when you press alt tab? (in the game)

It flashes the taskbar and then returns to the game. The same goes for using the windows key.

[JFee]

Two things...

Func Wolf()
    MouseClick("left", 25, 25, 2, 0)
EndFunc;==>Wolf

That code is just much simpler and does the same thing muttley

Also, have you tried this:

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate"); a way out of this
HotKeySet("{F7}", "Wolf");F7

While 1
    HotKeySet("{F7}", "Wolf");F7
WEnd

Func Wolf()
    MouseMove(25, 25)
    MouseClick("left")
    MouseClick("left")
EndFunc;==>Wolf

Func Terminate()
    Exit 0
EndFunc;==>Terminate

Edit: Not sure how this would affect performance... shouldn't be too bad

I tried that. It didn't work either. I think it may be blocking it. I'm just not sure how to get around it. I guess there is no way?

[JFee]

I wonder what would happen if you gave the script a small GUI with the on top style.... it'd be silly but I'm curious
