Quick Question

[merulz]

Is it possible to send commands to a window instead of waiting for that window to be active?

[TerarinK]

you first need to confirm it is there, then you can send any command to that window

[merulz]

Okay, so if I understand you correctly, I need to target the window so that AutoIt can confirm it's there? How would I go about doing this?

Sorry for the questions, I'm brand new to AutoIt

WinExist, read the help file it is one of the most resourceful things

Okay, I think I got it now. What I'm trying to do is make the script loop endlessly. I checked here but am confused about which one would be used for my need.

Here's my script so far:

If WinExists("Element Client")
    Then
    Send{+[1]} ;targets party member #1
    Sleep("1000") ;waits a second
    Send{[F2]} ;change this to your hotkey for heal
    Sleep("1000")
    Send{+[2]} ;targets party member #2
    Sleep("1000")
    Send{[F2]} ;change this to your hotkey for heal
    Sleep("1000")
    Send{+[3]}
    Sleep("1000")
    Send{[F2]}
    Sleep("1000")
    Send{+[4]}
    Sleep("1000")
    Send{[F2]}
    Sleep("1000")
    Send{+[5]}
    Sleep("1000")
    Send{[F2]}
    Sleep("1000")

While 1
If WinExists("Element Client") Then
    Send{+[1]};targets party member #1
    Sleep("1000");waits a second
    Send{[F2]};change this to your hotkey for heal
    Sleep("1000")
    Send{+[2]};targets party member #2
    Sleep("1000")
    Send{[F2]};change this to your hotkey for heal
    Sleep("1000")
    Send{+[3]}
    Sleep("1000")
    Send{[F2]}
    Sleep("1000")
    Send{+[4]}
    Sleep("1000")
    Send{[F2]}
    Sleep("1000")
    Send{+[5]}
    Sleep("1000")
    Send{[F2]}
    Sleep("1000")
EndIf
Wend

By using while 1 (always true) it will continuously loop through the script. Also remember to close all open statements like your If (EndIf) and While (Wend).

Hope this helps,

Take a look at this, I cleaned up your code a bit.

While 1
    If WinExists("elementclient") Then
        WinActivate("elementclient")
        For $i = 1 To 5
            Send("+{" & $i & "}")
            Sleep(1000)
            Send("{F2}")
            Sleep(1000)
        Next
    EndIf
WEnd

And about your first question, take a look at ControlSend().
