Trying to make a simple script that uses DLLCall mouse_event to move the cursor to sets of coordiantes Topic is solved

[prototype_zero]

Hello,

I've used different mouse functions that worked fine and in a very straight forward way of simply moving the mouse to a set of absolute coordinates on the screen. But for some reason, as soon as I use DLLCall mouse_event, the mouse cursor, regardless of what the target coordinates are, just bounces around from one corner to the other. Even if I set the coordinates all to the same 1280,720, which in theory would mean the mouse cursor would remain stationary, it still continues to bounce around. Any help on this would be appreciated.

Code: Select all

; Function to move the mouse cursor to a specific position on the screen
MoveMouseToAbsolute(x, y) {
    ; Get the current mouse position
    MouseGetPos, startX, startY
    
    ; Calculate the distance to move
    dx := x - startX
    dy := y - startY
    
    ; Move the mouse using mouse_event function
    DllCall("mouse_event", UInt, 1, Int, dx, Int, dy, UInt, 0, UInt, 0)
    
    ; Show tooltip with current and target coordinates
    Tooltip, Target coordinates:`nX: %x%`nY: %y%
    
    ; Sleep to allow time for the mouse cursor to move (adjust as needed)
    Sleep 1000
    
    ; Clear tooltip
    Tooltip
}

; Example: Move mouse to several positions
MoveMouseToAbsolute(1280, 720)
Sleep 1000
MoveMouseToAbsolute(1280, 720)
Sleep 1000
MoveMouseToAbsolute(1280, 720)
Sleep 1000
MoveMouseToAbsolute(1280, 720)
Sleep 1000
MoveMouseToAbsolute(1280, 720)
Sleep 1000
MoveMouseToAbsolute(1280, 720)
Sleep 1000
MoveMouseToAbsolute(1280, 720)
Sleep 1000
MoveMouseToAbsolute(1280, 720)
Sleep 1000

Hallo,
try:

Code: Select all

; Function to move the mouse cursor to a specific position on the screen
MoveMouseToAbsolute(x, y) {
	Static SysX := 0x10000/A_ScreenWidth, SysY := 0x10000/A_ScreenHeight
    
	; Calculate the absolute coordinates
    xa := Ceil(x * SysX)
	ya := Ceil(y * SysY)
	
    ; Move the mouse using mouse_event function, 0x8001: ABSMOVE
    DllCall("mouse_event", "UInt", 0x8001, "UInt", xa, "UInt", ya)
    
    ; Show tooltip with current and target coordinates
    Tooltip, Target coordinates:`nX: %x%`nY: %y%
    
    ; Sleep to allow time for the mouse cursor to move (adjust as needed)
    Sleep 1000

Brilliant, thank you very much. It worked perfectly.
