blessthefall Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I write a lot of bots for different games and distribute them around to a few friends for use. I am, by no means, an AutoIt veteran and the scripts are all very simple. I generally just combine a lot of (in my opinion =] ) clever loops and pixel checks (PixelCheckSum, PixelSearch, and PixelGetColor) to achieve what I want. I've grown increasingly interested in the versatility of AutoIt, and am also interested in learning more about it. I have almost no prior programming experience. I also have zero experience with AutoIt GUI (something that i'm going to be delving into very soon). So my first issue: -I want to make a script that will open a window with one or more inputs. I want the user to be able to enter a value and then the script will save the input as a variable into a file so that the variable can be recalled by other scripts. --------script 1-------- #include <GUIConstants.au3> GUICreate("Inputs") GUISetState (@SW_SHOW) ;here is the point where I get am unfamiliar completely. I suspect I should use GUICtrlCreateInput but I don't quite understand the example in the help file ;this is the example script: ;-------------------------------------------- ;file = GUICtrlCreateInput ( "", 10, 5, 300, 20) ;GUICtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_DROPACCEPTED) ;GUICtrlCreateInput ("", 10, 35, 300, 20) ; will not accept drag&drop files ;$btn = GUICtrlCreateButton ("Ok", 40, 75, 60, 20) ;GUISetState () ;-------------------------------------------- --------script 2-------- ;this will be the recall script, not sure how this should be done so will put this off until later. Any help would be appreciated, an explanation in simple terms would be grand too =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is helpful except for the fact that when looking at the code I'm lost >_>. I like to know exactly what's going on, thus far all of my scripts have been written with notepad. I'll check it out tho and come back with any new questions I may have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
