Scale Coordinates

[phearme]

Hi I'm trying to find out how to modify the coordinates of my script so it would work on any resolution.

Lets say the resolution the script I made only works for 1440 x 900 resolution, but the other computer's native resolution is 1680 x 1050. The script has over 500 different coordinates and the only way I could think of to make it compatible with different resolutions was to make an equation that automatically figures out what to multiply the coordinates by, however that would involve me have to manually edit all coordinates to include the variable:

MouseMove(32,636)becomes MouseMove(32*$z,636*$Z)

Is there a less tedious way to implement this into the script or an advance version of the Replace tool that can automatically replace all MouseMove(##,###) to MouseMove(##*$z,###*$Z).

Write a small function to do what you want and then replace all MouseMove commands with the name of that function.

MyMouseMove($x,$y); for the 1440 x 900 screen

Func MyMouseMove($x,$y)
  MouseMove(@DesktpWidth*$x/1440,@DesktopHeight * $y/900)
EndFunc

I was going to suggest the above way before he posted xD.. but ill go ahead and post a little script that can process your script and change the cords...

Source :

#Include <File.Au3>
$iFile = 'Test.au3'
$iNewFile = @ScriptDir & '\Edit.Au3'
If FileExists ($iNewFile) Then FileDelete ($iNewFile)
$iStringToAdd_1 = '*$Z'; I.E. MouseMove (XX*$Z,XX)
$iStringToAdd_2 = '*$Z'; I.E. MouseMove (XX,XX*$Z)
For $A = '1' To _FileCountLines ($iFile)
$Line = FileReadLine ($iFile, $A)
If StringLeft ($Line, '9') = 'MouseMove' Then 
$iSplit = StringSplit ($Line, ',') 
$1 = StringSplit ($iSplit['1'], '(') 
$2 = StringSplit ($iSplit['2'], ')')
$iString = StringReplace ($Line, '(' & $1['2'] & ',','(' & $1['2'] & $iStringToAdd_1 & ',')
$iString = StringReplace ($iString, ',' & $2['1'] & ')',',' & $2['1'] & $iStringToAdd_2 & ')') 
FileWriteLine ($iNewFile, $iString)
Else 
FileWriteLine ($iNewFile, $Line)    
EndIf 
Next

Even tho the above post is a better, I wanted to show you a different way..

Hope this helps!
