 |
|
Can AHK draw images on top of a game running in fullscreen?
For example, if I wanted to create my own toolbar of hotkeys. Or make a transparant overlay of an image alerting me to something.

And you can even make crosshair with that great tool!

I'm serious. Obviously you are not. o_O
Perhapse a better question would be:
Can autohotkey draw images on top of a fullscreen d3d application.
I don't appreciate some of the rude comments made. My question is valid.

You can make a splash window that is transparent, but if you ever get to the point where you click on it, the game will be minimized. You can overcome this by making the LButton a hotkey that returns if it's within the bounds of the window's area, or simply by making the hotkey send only to the game window (which I've had varying levels of success with.) Commands of interest are:
- SendMode
- SplashWindow
- WinSet
- ControlSend
All of these are, of course, in the help file. |

If you have any problems, post back here and I'll do what I can to help. Another method you may need to employ is turning OFF AlwaysOnTop for the game itself (some games like to grab that status.)

| There is no SplashWindow in the documentation. Did you mean SplashImage? |

Oh... yeah. Sorry, I suppose it's too late for me  . That's for an image, of course. You can also use SplashTextOn/Off to use a text window. |

I got the window displaying, but it immediately disappears.
I then made a loop and redrew it, but the drawing is flickered.
| Code: | $8::
Loop {
SplashImage C:\crosshair.gif, b
WinSet, AlwaysOnTop, On
WinSet, TransColor, White
Sleep 1
}
return
|

| Have you tried un-setting AlwaysOnTop for the game? That may help (some games are very persistent, though.) |

| Code: | ;
; Returns 1 if %a_szKeyName% is being pressed, otherwise 0
;
IsKeyPressed(a_szKeyName)
{
GetKeyState, state, %a_szKeyName%, P
If state = D ; The key is not being pressed
{
Return 1
}
Return 0
}
$8::
SplashImage C:\crosshair.gif, b
WinSet, TransColor, White
WinSet, Topmost , On
Loop {
if( IsKeyPressed("8"))
{
SplashImage C:\crosshair.gif, b
Sleep 1
}
else
{
break
}
}
SplashImage C:\crosshair.gif, b Hide
return
|
Also, for some reason, the image isn't centered...but I can get around that by just offsetting the crosshair.
Immediately after I do: SplashImage C:\crosshair.gif, b, which makes a borderless window appear in the center of the screen, the window disappears.
Any help would be appreciated.

I think it has more to do with drawing on top of a fullscreen d3d window. I have the same problem trying to display my splash on top of a tech demo.
Try testing your script on this one:

Have you had any luck with doing this, TDMedia? |

| I play mainly OpenGL games, and in those, overlaying a crosshair, or just about anything hasn't been a real problem for me. So, if your game has an OGL mode, try that. If not, I'll have to do some testing and see if anything can be done to overcome the games' persistence. |
