i'm trying to make a macro for a game, and i know other ppl use it in this game because they told me about it. i'm using the script writer, and when i'm on my desktop, the couse clicks show up in the script window, but when i'm in the game, they don't. any ideas?

Does the game run fullscreen?
Where is the source code?

Could you post the script?

that's the problem. the script isn't showing up. the script writer isn't registering the mouse clicks when i try and record them

Try clicking record, clicking a bit on the deskop, then Alt + Tabbing to the game and see if it records then

Don't think you'll have success with AutoScript Writer then.
You could try using DXWind and recording.

Oh, BTW, what game is it? Some games have anti-cheating devices Wink

ok. from what i gather, DXWnd forces an app to run in windowed mode, i have the game running, and checked the task manager to see which app i needed windowed, and added it to DXWnd, but it's still fullscreen

You start the game using DXWind. If it still doesn't register clicks, you can alternate between the game and some other application by using Alt + Tab, then after you're done you can just add

only problem with that is that i can't go straight into the game. it has to go through the updater first, then the login, then the game. it automatically opens th next program itself.. but i'll try
