GUI Button function w/ autoit

[joshsta911]

kk im a newbie at makin bots but heres the code i have now...
okay im a TOTAL newb at making stuff with autoit, so far i can only make simple things with clicking and what not...but i ran into a problem today. my bot creates a gui that instructs you on how to use the bot, what i need help with is how to create a hotkey that "Starts" the bot(the opposite of the exiting hotkey)
HotKeySet("^!x", "QuitProg")
Func QuitProg()
Exit
EndFunc
thats the exit hotkey that i got, but i was wondering if its possible to reverse it, and have a 2nd code like dat but it starts instead of exits....ty

From what I know of Win32, you have to handle the WM_COMMAND message for the button.(Windows will throw the message when the button is pushed) You'll have to assign the buttons ID and etc, and when you handle the WM_COMMAND message, check if it's the ID of the button and then execute your next code.

Don't ask how to do it in AutoIt though...


Edit:: Woah, you totally changed the first post....
I dunno anything about AutoIt so I guess ask swords or Hiyoal..

[joshsta911]

rofl thanks for trying to help but you Totally lost me, it seems like it should be simple as hell becuase its just simply like this:
Person clicks the button then it should endswitch/closewindow and then move onto the next line..wich is the bot

[Hiyoal]

Ok. So are you using another hotkey for this?! Or are you using the same hotkey?

Hiyoal

[joshsta911]

no, ctrl+alt+x = exit script
and, ctrl+alt+z = start

i was thinking..is there a way that when you start the script from clicking it, it automatically pauses the script untill a hotkey is executed such as my "start"(ctr+alt+z)??

[Hiyoal]

Until the GUI Pops up?!
Lets have a look at your script.

[joshsta911]

okay well since your here now and your wonderfull help i hope you wouldnt mind awnser another question at the same time :P
but heres my script

This script is to where a msg pops up with instructions, you minimize it and then press the hotkey CTRL+ALT+Z,(Idont have that part in yet becuase i dont know how to make it)

PHP Code:

HotKeySet("^!x", "QuitProg")

WEnd

While 1
MouseClick("left" , 578, 388, 2, 1)

the problem with this bot is that when i click the button nothing happends, the "Window(gui)" that pops up dosnt go away when i click on $Button1 AkA Start...i dont know how to make it move onto the next part of the script thnx 4 ure help

[Hiyoal]

Lol, Ok. Ill start off with the basics
Start off with #Include <> at the START OF YOUR SCRIPT!!!

A HotKeySet() Function does not need to be declared with a function underneath.

You can set however many hotkeys at the start of your script.

Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

Func QuitProg()
Exit
EndFunc

Func StartProg()
;Put Your Function Here
EndFunc

Now, for the GUI.

You cannot have 2 While loops happening at once. The first one from top to bottom of the script will run first, so your:

While 1
MouseClick()
jadslkfja;f
Wend

That will never happen unless the first WHile loop is exitted using Exitloop.


You dont have anything which the button does.

Switch looks at the variable $nMsg and checks to see if it changes.
If $button1 is clicked, $nMsg=$button1 sooo

Switch will move down to:
Case $button1

If their is one.

So, if you want those button clicks, you should do this.

Global $checker=0 ;<--- DECLARE THIS!!

#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=c:\users\josh\desktop\botmakingshit\toxicfogb otcreatedbyjoshsta.kxf
$ToxicFogBot = GUICreate("ToxicFogBot", 349, 151, -1, -1)
GUISetBkColor(0xC8C8C8)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Start", 120, 48, 105, 57)
$Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Created By Joshsta", 219, 128, 121, 20)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 10, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
$Label2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("The bot will start when you click Start..", 0, 0, 186, 17)
$Label3 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("To exit the bot simply hit CTRT+ALT+X", 0, 16, 188, 17)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

I have also declared the variable $checker=0 GLOBALLY so that it can be used throughout the whole script.

Then you should write the While function so the script stays alive:

$nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
Switch $nMsg
Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
Exit

Case $Button1
EndSwitch
WEnd

Next we add the function for clicking the button and we make our own Function which loops clicking.

Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
Exit

Case $Button1
if $checker=0 then
$checker=1
elseif $checker=1 then
$checker=0
endif
EndSwitch

If $checker=1 Then
StartProg()
EndIf
WEnd

Func StartProg()
MouseClick("left" , 578, 388, 2, 1)
Sleep(1200)
MouseClick("right" , 635, 457, 1, 1)
Sleep(1200)
MouseClick("left" , 697, 387, 2, 1)
Send("{F3}")
Sleep(6000)
EndFunc

When the button is clicked, $checker is set to "1" and then the function "StartFunc" is called because in the:
While 1

Wend

loop, it checks to see if $checker=1 and will keep on running until the button on the GUI is pressed again.
Because, when $x=1 when button1 is pressed, it checks to see what $checker is and if it is 0 then it starts the bot, otherwise it see's whether $checker=1 and if it is then it makes it ="0" and will skip the:

If $checker=1 Then
StartProg()
EndIf

because $checker=0

Hope thats some insight.

oh snap, im not gonna lie i dont understand half of that. but from what i do understand, i understand what you did with the ctrl+alt+z, i also found out another way for this to work..

PHP Code:

Case $Button1
    GUISetState(@SW_HIDE)
EndSwitch
WEnd 


so basically once they click start it just hides the gui and stops the switch, and they go on to pressing ctrl+alt+z to start the bot...! right? lol

[joshsta911]

Btw is there a way that i can loop this function, after you click ctrl+alt+z
sorry if i wasted your time, id rather do it this way becuase i actually understand it sort of lol :x

PHP Code:

Func StartProg()
MouseClick("left" , 578, 388, 2, 1)
Sleep(1200)
MouseClick("right" , 635, 457, 1, 1)
Sleep(1200)
MouseClick("left" , 697, 387, 2, 1)
Send("{F3}")
Sleep(6000)
EndFunc 


[Hiyoal]

Or, you can start the bot from clicking aswell.

PHP Code:

Case $button1
GUISetState(@SW_HIDE)
StartProg()
EndSwitch
Wend 


Hiyoal

<edit>

Yes you can:

Declare Global $checker=0 at the start of your script

PHP Code:

Func StartProg()
if $checker=1 then
$checker=0
elseif $checker=0 Then
$checker=1
endIf
While $checker=1
MouseClick("left" , 578, 388, 2, 1)
Sleep(1200)
MouseClick("right" , 635, 457, 1, 1)
Sleep(1200)
MouseClick("left" , 697, 387, 2, 1)
Send("{F3}")
Sleep(6000)
Wend
EndFunc 


This checks and see's whether $checker=1 or 0. If it equals to 0 then it makes $checker=1 and the while loop starts because $checker=1. When the hotkey is pressed again $checker=1 so it makes $checker=0 and the while stops, because While only runs when $checker=1.

[joshsta911]

oky fixed my hotkey situation Thanks alot Hiyoal, i spent a long time on this last nightl; just trying to get the gui function to work, it now works exacally how i want it, when i repost it ill make sure to give you credit
