I just experienced the strangest thing:

When I was creating this script that lets (or is supposed to) a tool "swing" around horizontally on the screen. But the thing is that it started to follow the mouse. Shocked
If I moved the mouse down on the screen, it slided after the mouse, still swinging. I don't know why it does that. I mean, i've inserted the line:
Code:

coordmode, tooltip, Screen

so the tootip should stay in position horizontally no matter what happens...
What have I done?! Shocked

Code:

#Persistent
coordmode, tooltip, Screen
loop
{
B_Index = A_Index
loop, 640
{
gosub WatchTool
sleep 20
}
}
return

WatchTool:
ToolTip, Watch!, (cos(A_Index) *500) + 500, B_Index - 20
return


cos(x)
{
transform, cos, cos, % x / 100
return cos
}

Try and see. Is it doin' it to you too? Or is my computer cursed?!! Smile

Hi,

I haven't used this coordmode yet, but your tooltip follows my mouse, too...

Try this:
Code:
#Persistent
coordmode, tooltip, Screen
loop
{
B_Index = A_Index
loop, 640
{
gosub WatchTool
sleep 20
}
}
return

WatchTool:
B_Index -= 20
ToolTip, %B_Index%, ((cos(A_Index) *500) + 500), %B_Index%
return


cos(x)
{
transform, cos, cos, % x / 100
return cos
}

After taking a second look... neat pendulum of death type effect Smile
Code:
#Persistent
coordmode, tooltip, Screen
loop
{
B_Index := A_Index
loop, 640
{
gosub WatchTool
sleep 20
}
}
return

WatchTool:
ToolTip, %B_Index%, ((cos(A_Index) *500) + 500), % B_Index - 20
return


cos(x)
{
transform, cos, cos, % x / 100
return cos

Here's a different version that's more simpler and gets the job done:
Code:
SetBatchLines -1
#Persistent
coordmode, tooltip, Screen
WatchTool:
Loop, %A_ScreenWidth%
{
   sw++
   ToolTip, Watch!, %sw%, 0
}
Loop, %A_ScreenWidth%
{
   sw--
   ToolTip, Watch!, %sw%, 0
}
Goto, WatchTool
Return
Esc::exitapp

That's cool too Smile but it doesn't have the swing effect (slow down and speed up and the edges) and also doesn't slowly start moving down the screen after 20 times across.

Well yeah but I said it was more basic. You can put "y += 5" before each closing loop brace to make it move down. The swing thing was hardly noticeable Confused

slowly getting sleepy, sleeeeepy... Laughing

Code:
#Persistent
coordmode, tooltip, Screen
loop
{
  if A_Index < 20
    B_Index := 0
  else
    B_Index := (A_Index - 20)
  loop, 640
  {
    gosub WatchTool
    sleep 10
  }
}
return
 
WatchTool:
test := (320 - (cos2(A_Index) *320))
ToolTip, O, ((cos(A_Index) *500) + 500), % test + B_Index
return


cos(x)
{
  transform, cos, cos, % x / 100
  return cos
}

cos2(y)
{
  transform, cos2, cos, % y / 50.55
  return cos2
}
