Hi,
I have a very basic script, that simply moves and clicks with the mouse in order to drop some items, but for some reason, nothing happens when i press ctrl + d, or ctrl + s.

Code: Select all

YCoords := [370, 398, 432, 456, 488]
DropCoordX := 234
DropCoordY := 313
DropItem(x, y)
{
	MouseMove, x, y
	Click
	MouseMove, DropCoordX, DropCoordY
	Click
}
DropFirst()
{
	x := 490
	while (x < 640)
	{
		for index, element in YCoords
		{
			DropItem(x,element)
		}
		x += 30
	}
}
DropSecond()
{
	x := 640
	while (x <= 790)
	{
		for index, element in YCoords
		{
			DropItem(x,element)
		}
		x += 30
	}
}

^d::
DropFirst()
return

^s::
DropSecond()
return

functions have scope, YCoords at the top and YCoords in ur for-loops dont refer to the same thing
u need to make YCoords available to the function. u can use the global keyword or pass it to the function as an argument

Yeah, each function you create is local by default so it can only access values you define in function itself.
as swag said do this:

myFunction(x,y)
{
global
my code
return
}

Now it can access not only x,y but all other variables you created (except variables from functions that are local).
