Beginner help neeeded. advanced drag and drop script

[minbare]

Let me begin by saying that I have no experiance with any script writeing what so ever. I have spent some hours the last 3 days trying to understand how autoIT works. I've read through the various tutorials on these forums and I think I have a resonable understanding of those. Moveing from those tutorials to writeing a fairly advanced (imo at least ) script however, has proven to be somewhat of a headache for me. I know what I want the script to do, however I am lost as to how to translate it to a script. Below is a short write-up of what I want to do. If anyone could point me to some advanced tutorials or can tell me what commands I should be looking at, it would be very much appreciated. Even existing similar scripts with some well writen descriptions would be of great help to me.

Thanks

This is what I want the script to do:

The script should execute each time I click the right mouse button. It should do the following upon execution:

- record the on screen co-ordinates where the right click was executed

- left click the mouse to drag and drop and item from the original co-ordinates to a fixed co-ordinate in the lower left corner of the window

- return the mouse pointer to the original co-ordinates prior to the right click

- preferably the drag, drop and return should happen fast

Is this a bot for a game?

[minbare]

No. It's to make my work easier. I'm looking through tons of digital pictures each week and only very few are usefull. The others are dumped into a 'junk' folder.

could also be used to loot items in darkfall

I guess so, even though I don't know darkfall. I simply need something to make my arm not fall off at the end of the week.

minbare,

Try this as a starter - look in the Help file for more details on each of the functions:

- record the on screen co-ordinates where the right click was executed - IsPressed & GUIGetCursorInfo

- left click the mouse to drag and drop and item from the original co-ordinates to a fixed co-ordinate in the lower left corner of the window - MouseClickDrag

- return the mouse pointer to the original co-ordinates prior to the right click - MouseMove back to where you started

- preferably the drag, drop and return should happen fast - Speed can be set in the code

If you run into problems, come back and show what code you have produced and we can help you sort it out.

You could also see if you can do keystroke commands to manage the pictures. CTRL+A will highlight all. After you get the ones you want, just do CTRL+A, then drag them ALL to the bin.

I would do it like this, much easier.

Opt("MouseClickDragDelay", 0)

Global $nTargetWidth = 123, $nTargetHeight = 123

HotKeySet("!z", "mousedragging")

While 1
    Sleep(250)
WEnd

Func mousedragging()
    $aPos = MouseGetPos()
    MouseClickDrag("primary", $aPos[0], $aPos[1], $nTargetWidth, $nTargetHeight, 0)
    MouseMove($aPos[0], $aPos[1], 0)
EndFunc
