 Posted: Sat Feb 26, 2005 9:53 am Post subject: Please, help me to create a very special script. |
 |
|
Hi all. This is my first post.
I discover this great app after trying to find a way to use my TrackIR 3 Vector Expansion on my favorite game, Pacific Fighters.
In order to use that hardware on that game, is needed to load two programs: a program called tir2joy, that translates TrackIR movements to a virtual joystcik and an AHK script that translates joystick movements to keys.
My question is about automatice the loading of both programs on a single keystroke or executable.
I would like to:
1. Load the AHK script
2. Load the program tir2joy (its just a simple .exe)
3. Send tir2joy window to the tray (or some kind of hide)
I´ve found on AHK page, a script that send to tray any active window using Win key + H.
Is there any way to do what I need?
I dont know if it is possible to combine inside the same "H" (the tray green icon of AHK) various scripts, or each script has its own "H"
Can anybody help me?
Tnx a lot!
(BTW, this is the page where is the joystick script explained: http://forums.naturalpoint.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=8&t=000121#000016) |

1. Load the AHK script
2. Load the program tir2joy (its just a simple .exe)
3. Send tir2joy window to the tray (or some kind of hide)
a) add/write this lines to your AHKScript
| Code: | #Persistent ; will keep your script active
!F9:: ; Hotkey - press ALT+F9 to UnHide your tir2Joy window
WinShow, <tir2joy WindowsTitle>
Return
Run, tir2joy.exe,<EnterHereTheTir2Joy.exePath>, Hide ; Execute tir2joy
WinHide, <tir2joy WindowsTitle> ; hide its window |
That additional code will start tir2joy, but keeps its window hidden.
Pressing Alt+F9 (you can change that) will show/unhide tir2joy's window.
Hopefully ... 
btw: would make sense if you provide some code! So there's a chance to tweak it to your needs. |

Excuse me. Here is the script of the joystick:
http://forums.naturalpoint.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=8&t=000121#000016)
(Please, excuse me if I do not copy and paste the script here, cause I´ve been unable to make them appear correctly aligned  )
My tir2joy program is on C:\juegos\tir2joy\tir2joy.exe, so in the line you mention, should I put:
Run, tir2joy.exe <C:\juegos\tir2joy\tir2joy.exe> ?
Should I paste your script AFTER the last line (return) of my joystick script?
Thanks in advance! |

Amazing. Yo gaming geeks are quite sophisticated AHK coders 
I think Chris and/or Rajat and/or another programming guru (hidden style ) can help you out. Stay tuned.
It would make sense if you edit the code to post it here, as I had a problem to identify your/the final release which we should tweak.
Thanks.  |

Yes, following AHK's syntax on [Run/RunWait] :
| Quote: | Run / RunWait
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Runs an external program. Unlike Run, RunWait will wait until the program finishes before continuing.
Run, Target [, WorkingDir, Max|Min|Hide|UseErrorLevel, OutputVarPID] |
The working directory should be set (IMHO), otherwise the script has to stay within the same folder as the called/executed program.
| Code: | | Run, tir2joy.exe, C:\juegos\tir2joy, Hide |
btw: please don't ignore my post above |

read more about the auto-execute section here: http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Scripts.htm
This may help you understand where to paste different parts of what BoBo suggested. |

I created this script, using your guidelines:
| Code: |
#Persistent ; will keep your script active
!F9:: ; Hotkey - press ALT+F9 to UnHide your tir2Joy window
WinShow, <TrackIR2Joystick v1.2>
Return
Run, tir2joy.exe, C:\tir2joy, Hide
WinHide, <TrackIR2Joystick v1.2>
|
First I created a folder named tir2joy and pasted the tir2joy executable there. No luck.
I removed the <> of the script, and No luck.
The tir2joy program doesnt start. Any idea? |

WinHide, <TrackIR2Joystick v1.2> |
these two lines aren't associated with a label or a hotkey - they're hanging out in nowhereville. |

WEll, I have some progress
Using this:
| Code: | | Run, tir2joy.exe, C:\tir2joy, Hide |
The program runs hidden and works. The problem is that I need to Ctrl+Alt+Brk for close it, but its a beggining.
Now, I need to close it with a hotkey and use this script at the same time of the long joystick script I posted.
Can I use the same .ahk file for both? |

I guess the error is here:
| Code: | Run, tir2joy.exe, C:\tir2joy, [color=red]Hide[/color] ; the window gets hidden here
WinHide, <TrackIR2Joystick v1.2> ; so that line, makes no sense (:oops:) at this stage |
, beside the fact that I doubt that the window title contains any <> chars ! and [SetTitleMatchMode] is set to the default to 3 ([v1.0.11]: A window's title must exactly match WinTitle to be a match. - I guess) Maybe you should change that.
| Quote: | | these two lines aren't associated with a label or a hotkey |
Shouldn't make any difference. The app should be executed at startup of the script, and that's it.
The hotkey should trigger to unhide/show it!
| Code: | !F9:: ; ALT+F9 to show the window
WinShow, TrackIR2Joystick v1.2
Return |
Eh, yep we should have another one to hide again.
| Code: | !F10:: ; ALT+F10 to hide the window
WinHide, TrackIR2Joystick v1.2
Return |
btw: have seen your post this sec. maybe some of my above statement has become useless this way ... |

Should have used quote, instead of code (to keep the code intact and show the marked/colored section.
| Quote: | | Run, tir2joy.exe, C:\tir2joy, Hide ; the window gets hidden here |

Alternative [AHK commands] to shutdown a window/app ---> WinKill or Process |

Great! Now works!
Now I need to execute my Joystick script AND your script. If possible, I would like to show only one green "H" for both scripts 
Tnx
I used this:
| Code: | Run, tir2joy.exe, C:\tir2joy, Hide ; the window gets hidden here
WinHide, <TrackIR2Joystick v1.2> ; so that line, makes no sense (:oops:) at this stage
!F9:: ; ALT+F9 to show the window
WinShow, TrackIR2Joystick v1.2
Return
!F10:: ; ALT+F10 to hide the window
WinHide, TrackIR2Joystick v1.2
Return |

Can't see why you shouldn't be able to use your above outcome within the same script ...
