Unable to change MouseSpeed in a122-123 [SOLVED]

[tomjtoth]

Issue: MouseMove, MouseClickDrag ignore any value passed as speed

My setup:
AHK/main.bat

Code: Select all

start "" /min "%~dp0bin\AutoHotkeyU64_2.0-a123-e5801ee8.exe" "%~dp0\lib\main.ahk"

launches AHK/lib/main.ahk:

Code: Select all

#include config.ahk
...

which includes the rest of my "modules" and creates a configuration blob (multi-level object)
The AHK folder is constantly synced by OneDrive

calling mouse related functions (via hotkeys) move instantly, even if I insert

Code: Select all

sleep 500
tooltip("0,0")
mousemove 100, 100,100, "R"
tooltip("100,100")

to the beginning of main.ahk, the mouse moves instantly. I tried changing the default mouse speed, delay and did not pass anything as speed, didn't help. I also tried including the unicode BOM in each any every one of the involved .ahk files, no luck.

I spotted this in a122, is still present in a123, haven't tried a124 yet.

Speed is ignored for SendInput/Play modes; they move the mouse instantaneously

SendMode('Input') being the default in v2

well I'll be damned,
I never thought about changing between sendmodes, I tested though that writing a simple .txt file which includes only the below code:

Code: Select all

msgbox(A_SendMode )
mousemove 200, 200, 100, "R"

and dropping it on the same binary does return "input" and work as expected (slowly, at speed 100)
on the other hand when I include the same check in my function, it also returns "input", but then the mouse gets moved instantly...

upon including

Code: Select all

sendmode("event")

before the mousemove command in my function, it does seem to do the trick

thats because depending on what scripts are currently running, SendMode Input might not actually be in effect: https://lexikos.github.io/v2/docs/commands/Send.htm#SendInputUnavail

Nice, I must admit my main script was always running in the background when testing those few-liners, so SendEvent for the win
thanks a lot for the quick replies!
