Simple Question, but newbie

[Garicup]

Hi, I'm new to the forums but not completely new to Autoit. I've never really done anything complicated with Autoit, so my question might have an extremely trivial solution.

Im writing a script, I want it to randomly click spots within a defined area

example: I have a box on the screen, say (200, 210, 300, 310) [x,y(top left), x,y(bottom right)] and I want it to repeatedly click in between that box at random spot using the Mouseclick function or other clicking functions. How would I do this?

((I want it to say: Click "239, 284" then 256, 301....and so on and so forth....inside a given area at random...))

or easily put, I want random clicking, but controlled as to where the randomness extends to

I know the example isn't aimed at a specific situation but hopefully the idea of what I'm trying to do passes through. I just want to know if it can be done and how, I don't want it specifically done for my project.

Any help is appreciated, Thanks

Try this -

$x = random(239, 256)
$y = random(121, 150)
$speed = Random(1, 4);so the movement of the mouse is at random speed too
Mouseclick($x, $y, 1, $speed)

Also, look in the example script section for AutoIt 1 2 3. It is a sticky. It will teach you the basics.

I had similar problem in identifying text on image/picture on active windows such as webpage on realtime.

Hope this post could discuss more further...

I mean, I can select click the picture without saving first the image(like other post using OCR script).
