Variables for commands

[loggerhead]

I'm curious if somebody could help me define some variables in my script. I want to define a variable at the beginning that will be called through various hotkey commands. The reason is that I am doing a lot of mouseclick commands, and they will be used on different computers with different screen resolutions and I want to have just a quick location to change all the x,y coordinates.

For instance:

:*:test1::
Mouseclick, left, 100, 200 ; variable 1
Mouseclick, left, 300, 400 ; variable 2
Send, test1
return

:*:test2::
Mouseclick, left, 100, 200 ; variable 1
Mouseclick, left, 500, 600 ; variable 3
Send, test2
return

:*:test3::
Mouseclick, left, 300, 400 ; variable 2
Mouseclick, left, 500, 600 ; variable 3
Send, test3
return


I would want it look like:
:*:test1::
Mouseclick, left, variable 1
Mouseclick, left, variable 2
Send, Test 1
return
:*:test2::
Mouseclick, left, variable 1
Mouseclick, left, variable 3
Send, test 2
return
:*:test3::
Mouseclick, left, variable 2
Mouseclick, left, variable 3
send, test 3
return

Thanks!

each individual parameter needs to be its own variable, so you will end up with 6 variables, not 3

so for example:

Code: Select all

x1 := 100
y1 := 200
Mouseclick, left, %x1%, %y1%

see here, read this page:
https://autohotkey.com/docs/Variables.htm

take a try doing the rest yourself, and post your code that you come up with

Having issues.

;;Click Ad Hoc
adhoc_x = 1120
adhoc_y = 94



:*:---::
MouseClick, left, adhoc_x , adhoc_y
Sleep, 1500
MouseClick, left, 86, 83
Sleep, 300
MouseCLick, left, 319, 240
MouseClick, left, 1038, 601
Return

[loggerhead]

OK, so the issue is that the variable is not contained within the autokey command. For instance, this works fine:

:*:---::
adhoc_x = 1120
adhoc_y = 94
MouseClick, left, adhoc_x , adhoc_y
Return

The whole point, however, is to define variables for a list of autokeys. I'm going to have about 10 different keystroke combos that will utilize the adhoc_x and adhoc_y coordinates, and I want to be able to change them in one location, as opposed to updating every autokey.

For instance, this is how I want it to look:

;Define Variables:
adhoc_x = 1120
adhoc_y = 94

:*:---::
MouseClick, left, adhoc_x , adhoc_y
Return

:*:+++::
MouseClick, left, adhoc_x , adhoc_y
Return

Define the variables at the very top of your script. More info at Auto-Execute Section.

So, what this means is if I have a script that has multiple hotkeys, the variable has to be defined for each hotkey?

:*:---::
adhoc_x = 1120
adhoc_y = 94
MouseClick, left, adhoc_x , adhoc_y
Return

:*:+++::
adhoc_x = 1120
adhoc_y = 94
MouseClick, left, adhoc_x , adhoc_y
Return

I have over 200 hotkeys defined inside one script and I would like to define about 40 variables for locations on my screen (I'm working in citrix), so obviously I don't want to have to add the variable to each hotkey. I am going to be placing this script on 10 different computers with different monitor resolutions, so I have to change the x,y coordinates for each and every hotkey, which is overwhelming. If I could just change the 40 variables, then that is easy.

No. Define the variables once. At the top of the script.

post your full script because you're probably defining the variables in the wrong place

or read and reread and fully understand the link provided

I got it working, thanks. I was placing my variables in the wrong spot. I appreciate the help, greatly appreciated.
