I'm trying to figure out how I can make my mouse move to a position defined by length + angle

 

Example 1: Length = 950, angle = 90 that would be all the way to the right of my computer screen

Example 1: Length = 1000, angle = 225 that would be near my start button

 

Problem is I'm not sure how to move it according to the angle.

 

Any help would be great! =)

Math can and will solve that. However, you didn't specify where the angle starts. Is this from the center of the screen?
Here's the algorithm I found: (x2,y2)=(x1+l⋅cos(a),y1+l⋅sin(a))

x1 := A_ScreenWidth / 2 ; Starting pos (x)
y1 := A_ScreenHeight / 2 ; Starting pos (y)
 
len := 1000 ; Length
ang := 225 ; Angle

x2 := x1 + len * cos(ang)
y2 := y1 + len * sin(ang)
 
MouseMove,% x2,% y2

And for convenience, a function:

GetPosFromAngle(ByRef x2,ByRef y2,x1,x2,len,ang){
    x2 := x1 + len * cos(ang)
    y2 := y1 + len * sin(ang)
}

PLEASE NOTE: I am not a mathematician. I did not write this formula, only the code. Sorry if it doesn't work.

I appreciate the help, I've been digging around for a while and found a similar piece of code to the one you linked, I've tried both and can't quite get it to work for me.

 

Here's what I got so far.

f3::
txx = -9.365444  ;static target x coordinate
tyy = 581.791077 ;static target y coordinate

tx:=toFloat(toHex(readMemory("0x9377A478",,pid))) ;read my x coord
ty:=toFloat(toHex(readMemory("0x9377A474",,pid))) ;read my y coord
X:=txx-tx
Y:=tyy-ty
dist:= sqrt((X*X) + (Y*Y)) ;distance
angle:= Atan2(X,Y) * (180 / Pi)
adjust:=-45 ;adjust because game has a view that's 45 degrees slanted
if angle < 0
angle := 360 + angle
angle += adjust
if angle > 360
angle -= 360
sleep 1000

  newX := BaseX + dist * cos(angle)
  newY := BaseY + dist * sin(angle)

  ;newX := BaseX + 100 * sin(degree2rad(angle)) ;previus code similar results
  ;newY := BaseY + 100 * cos(degree2rad(angle))
  
    MouseMove, %newX%, %newY%
return

I forgot to mention the mouse base, it's located at the center of a windowed game x800 y400.

I've also tried both coordmodes, screen and relative. makes a small difference but nothing else.

 

I've done debugging and my distance and degrees are spot on always returning exactly where they should,, perhaps I'm not doing the other math right, if so let me know please, I can't really understand this math like I'd want to but I am trying.

deg = 225
lenght=1000
radian  :=  deg*0.0174532925
1::
MouseGetPos, mx, my
my2:= -sin(radian)*lenght
mx2:= cos(radian)*lenght
MouseMove, %mx2%, %my2%, 100, R
return

Oh, duh, it has to be in radians.. Thanks ahcahc. Modified my code and tested:

GetPosFromAngle(mx,my,960,540,1000,225)
MouseMove,% mx,% my
return
 
GetPosFromAngle(ByRef x2,ByRef y2,x1,y1,len,ang){
    ang := ang * 0.0174532925
    x2 := x1 + len * cos(ang)
    y2 := y1 + len * -sin(ang)
}

That looks promising! Is there anyway to flip the radian so it's going clockwise from 12:

          0

270         90

        180

 

 

right now it appears to be going counterclockwise from 3:

           90

180              0

          270

 

Really appreciate the work so far though it seems to be working the way I need it just in a different order. =)

 

I believe I got it now, Thanks you so much for the help everything is working now! =D

Thank you for this position it allowed me to move forward on my project. However I have a little problem: I have coordinates (x and y memoryread) but they are in Game positions. I wonder how determine how many pixels should move my mouse in comparison to the InGame position. I do not know if I make myself understood. For example my destination point is -80 300 (X and Y of games) but on my screen when I move to those pixels that does not match. How to calculate the ratio between the two? (I'm working on the hack Slash Marvel Heroes)
In advance thank you if you have a little help
