Autoit won't run in certain windows?

08/16/2013 19:25 BitOfHope#1
So I used to bot on some games in the past with Autoit and it worked fine. But now it seems like some games refuse to allow Autoit to run while the game is my active window.

I know this might be a game problem and not Autoit itself, but I figured I'd ask anyways. And if it IS an Autoit problem, if somebody knows a way around this, that'd be great. Or another program to make some basic scripts could work too.

The game I'm currently trying to run a script on is Mabinogi. But I've had this problem with several other games before, including a simple game on Eclipse engine.
~~~~~
Basically using even the most basic of basic scripts won't work. If I even try to use something like this:
Code:
While 1
	Sleep(1500)
	MouseClick("right", 1637, 541)
	Sleep(1000)
	MouseClick("left", 1644, 733)
WEnd
The script will run if I don't have the game selected just fine. But the second I make the game window my active window the script pretty much pauses. It just sits there and won't do anything until I click out of the game window. Once I do the script starts to run again.

Even if I just simply can't use autoit on this game anymore I'd like if somebody could at least tell me so I don't waste more time messing with it, haha.

Thanks.

maybe its just a problem with the game resolution?

No, I run the game in windowed mode.

Trie to run a tooltip with a counter. If the counter stops when you start the game u know that the game stops AutoIt. If not it could be that the game only blocks mouse clicks from external programs.

Tooltip still works with the game selected.

What about using controlclick? If you'd tell what you are actually trying to do, could help you better.
