hello, i discovered this wonderful tool some minutes ago, and i'd like to start with a big "thank you" for it.

I hope my request is not annoying, i searched for an existing solution before asking.

I'm tring this simple script, meant to change mouse speed, found after a quick search.
DllCall("SystemParametersInfo", Int,113, Int,0, UInt,%1%, Int,2)

as you can see, i put the %1% to let me change the speed at command line.

It just doesn't work: mouse speed is not affected.
It works if i put a constant value, like 5.
What's wrong with it?

Thank you in advance

In expressions, only double-references are enclosed in percent signs. For instance, if the first command-line arg is "20", %1% in an expression refers to a variable named "20", which is likely to be empty.

Variables with purely numeric names can't be accessed directly by an expression. Instead, use a double-reference or copy the value to another variable:

That solved my problem, thank you!

I post here the solution for those with my same problem and hitting this thread while searching

Which method is better?
Maybe we should include in our scripts something like
