Need some help making script for a game

[evilbutterfly]

Hi everyone, I'm new to AutoIt scripting, but know how to program in VB.NET. I'd like to make an AutoIt script for a game that's already open. I got the title of the window using the AutoIt Window Info tool, but don't know how to make sure my script only runs in the game window. Basically I want to have several keys pressed automatically, at certain intervals, like every 20 minutes. Also, I want to move the mouse pointer to a certain location on screen, and press the left mouse button, after pressing one of the keys. To make things clearer, here's an example:

Step 1. Once I start script, I want it to switch to the game window

Step 2. Press F12

Step 3. Press F5

Step 4. Wait a couple seconds (between 7 and 10 seconds, not sure yet), then move the mouse to a certain location (it's the same location every time, but I'm not sure how to figure out how to get it) and press the left mouse button

Step 5. Press F12 again.

Then I want to repeat steps 2 through 5 every 20 minutes until I decide to stop the script(not sure how to do that either), or for a set number of times declared in the script.

I tried to search, but I'm still really confused by all this script stuff, I'm used to the easy drag-and-drop controls of VB.net, lol.

Thank you for any help.

Ah, thanks a lot, I really had no clue what to use And I found the location I need to move mouse using the script found here: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=69072

OK, I'm having problems, once I use WinActivate to switch focus to the game, nothing else in my script works, the buttons don't press and the mouse doesn't move, nothing happens, here's the code I have so far.

Opt( "SendKeyDownDelay", 1000)
Send( "{F12}", 1 )
Opt( "SendKeyDownDelay", 3000)
Send( "{F5}", 1 )
Sleep(7000)
MouseMove ( 960, 384)
MouseClick( "left")

Nevermind, I forgot this game is using a hackshield I would have to bypass first, in order to use AutoIt, and that's way out of my league.
