I Can't make this loop, nor will it open the file...

[KingVengeance]

I've been in the process of making a script for Diablo II that would automatically move to a certain place, cast a spell, wait, return to the place it started from, and then loop the script. However, I don't understand the looping commands, so I tried the Run command. This is what my Run line looks like:

Run("VengeanceWaller_v1_0.exe", "[C:\Documents and Settings\Jackson\Desktop]", @SW_MAXIMIZE)oÝ÷ ÙÚç¶Z½ëayìZr×âéhq«b¢{(Ü(ºW[y«­¢+ÙIÕ¸ ÅÕ½ÐíY¹¹]±±É}ØÅ|À¹áÅÕ½Ðì°ÅÕ½ÐímèÀäÈí½Õµ¹Ñ̹MÑÑ¥¹ÌÀäÈí)­Í½¸ÀäÈíͭѽÀÀäÈíY¹¹]±±É}ØÅ|À¹átÅÕ½Ðì°M]}5a%5%i¤

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am reluctant to post the whole script, as I don't want my work stolen without credit being given to me.

Note: I have compiled the script so that it will open the .exe, I still have the original .au3 file toedit and mess around with.

Loops are pretty basic...

While <something is true>
  ; do this
  ; then do this
  ; then do that
WEnd

Which will do all those things in the middle over and over and over as long as <something is true> is in fact true

I don't know what you are doing with your run command... but I fear you are trying to restart your script at the end of your script.... very bad idea.

I was, in fact, trying to restart my script at the end of my script. I don't understand why it's a bad thing, but I'll take your word for it.

As to the loop, would an example be something like:

While <Diablo II is active>
Send("{Enter}starting in 5...{ENTER}")
Sleep(100)
Send("{ENTER}4...{ENTER}")
WEnd

How do I specify that it should loop while the Diablo II window is active?

See WinActive for a window.

[KingVengeance]

so the code for looping while the Diablo II Window is active would be like:

While WinActive("Diablo II")
Send("{Enter}starting in 5...{ENTER}")
Sleep(100)
Send("{ENTER}4...{ENTER}")
WEnd

ill give that a shot, hopefully it works

If that what the title bar says then yes. Understand that WinActive uses WinTitleMatchMode too.

Hey man thanks for the help, got it working perfectly, and now it loops indefinitely, which is exactly what I wanted

Spook, I thank you too, you guys were both a big help. Hopefully I get better at this as time goes on.
