Hi scripters,

After searching for over an hour i did not find my solution. It's actually very simple. I will explain in the example script. (I'm newbie to ahk btw)

What i would like to achieve is : Every new MouseClick line i would like to have a 'new' chosen random number. In the example it will always use the first random value and keep on using it in every following line.

pfew. Logged in now..

I think i understand random.. But did not understand loop!

I will try now. If any guru can show me little loop example of my random issue i would be a very happy guy.

In your code you only use Random once and that is where you generate the random number. You do not use Random again and therefore you use the same number over and over. Try something like this:

Hi. Thanks for the reply.

I was hoping to use the random on several different coordinates. In the example code you showed it is defined per command. If after 5 seconds another different coord is clicked and i again want it to be +-50 then i would have to re-type this.

I understand how it will work but am looking for a way to use it on different locations in my code.

TY for your kind help btw!

If you prefer it the function way...

Thanks a lot! I will try it asap.

Since you tell me that functions live in the bottom of a script. How can i find out this knowledge?

I have read the ahk manual and it seems that this kind of info is not mentioned. Long long time ago i tried VB. Can i read a VB course book and use that knowledge in ahk scripting? TY in advance.

Great help, Great community.

Script execution automatically skips over function bodies, so it doesn't matter where in the script they are (as long as they aren't somewhere invalid like inside another function.) It is generally more readable and perhaps more maintainable to at least put the functions after the auto-execute section, though.
