Saving a mouse location, to be used later in script adding 20 pixels to the y of that once per loop

[mikeybea2]

is it possible to effectively Save a mouse location, to be used later in script, adding 20 pixels to the y of that once per loop (ending up at around 80 time per run.

Hi i have this script running at the moment, over time the mouse seems to drift off usually around the 11th loop meaning halting the process completely. I realize i could pretty easily just work out the Y value for each file, but that a lot of work.

Code: Select all

#NoEnv
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%
CoordMode, Mouse, Screen
SendMode Input
#SingleInstance Force
SetTitleMatchMode 2
#WinActivateForce
SetControlDelay 1
SetWinDelay 0
SetKeyDelay -1
SetMouseDelay -1
SetBatchLines -1


F3::
COPYINATOR:
MousePosX := 345
MousePosY := 116
TheRest:
WinActivate, ahk_exe kubioshrv.exe
Sleep, 333
/*
Press Open 
*/
Click, 9, 61 Left, 1
Gosub, MoveLocation
Sleep, 213599

*/

Sleep, 500
Goto, TheRest

[b]MoveLocation:
Click, %MousePosX%, %MousePosY%, 0
Sleep, 500
Click, Rel 0, 20 Left, 2
Sleep, 300
CoordMode, %MousePosX%`, %MousePosY%, Screen
MouseGetPos, 345, MousePosY
Return[/b]

its the part in bald that is really important and seems to drift. I would like it to move downby 20 pixels, save that new location carrry on with the rest of the script, and then the next loop reload those previous position and again add 20 effectivlely moving down list. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance!

Your MouseGetPos is weird because you are putting a value into the variable 345, I do not recommend this.

But generally, see this which might help:

Code: Select all

Loop, 5
{
MouseGetPos, X, Y
MouseMove, X, Y+20
Sleep 1000
}
return

Hopefully this will give you an idea on how to handle things.

See Expressions for me using that lone percent sign. (Forced-expressions.) Edit: Boiler points out below it's not necessary, so I removed it from the code above. But leaving a link to it in case you try to use this on other commands.

Your CoordMode statement towards the end of the script is also messed up.

Although the percent sign isn't needed to force expressions for MouseMove. Those parameters are already accepted as expressions without it.

Hi boiler and Exaskryz ! thanks for your help! I've implemented the new code and tried fixed up.

However, the issue still remains that after the usually around 20-23 loops it looses it placement and seem to open the same file which In turn stops the process ( because the program asks if you want to overwrite this output if its there twice).

it seems that its not properly saving the mouse location at that point, and the other mouse movements in the script are eventually put it off place since it still depends on the mouse position ? is there anyway around this?

heres the new code

Code: Select all

#NoEnv
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%
CoordMode, Mouse, Screen
SendMode Input
#SingleInstance Force
SetTitleMatchMode 2
#WinActivateForce
SetControlDelay 1
SetWinDelay 0
SetKeyDelay -1
SetMouseDelay -1

You realize you're moving the mouse 2 pixels to the right and 50 down each time before you get the new X and Y for next time through the loop, so it slowly drifts off to the right and moves quickly down the list. I thought you wanted it to just go down 20 pixels in Y each time.
