Add a variable in function parameter Topic is solved

[Haswell]

I have a code that clicks the specified point.
Coordinates are obtained using ImageSearch but I simplified the example and set it to 100, 200.
I need to press the center of the button, that's why I add +30 and +10 to coordinates:

Code: Select all

x = 100
y = 200
x += 30
y += 10
click, %x%, %y%

Is there any way to refactor it to something like this?

Code: Select all

x = 100
y = 200
click, %x%+30, %y%+10

I also tried this way but failed:

Code: Select all

x = 100
y = 200
click, % x+30, % y+10

Code: Select all

x = 100
y = 200
click, x+30, y+10

I use function Click because only it works correctly in my case.

Click, %x%, %y% : Since click does not support expressions, variables should be enclosed in percent signs.

Yeah, that's kind of a pain, I agree. Here's another way.

Code: Select all

x := 100
y := 200
MouseMove, x + 30, y + 10
Click

Hallo,
or:

Code: Select all

x = 100
y = 200
MouseMove, x, y
Click, 30, 10, Relative

[mikeyww]

A great one!

Or even:

Code: Select all

x := 100
y := 200
Click, % x + 30 "," y + 10		; or: Click, % x + 30 " " y + 10

[mikeyww]

Fascinating! I never imagined that one. Thanks to both of you.

[Haswell]

Wow! Works like a charm!

[just me]

Or even:

Code: Select all

x := 100
y := 200
Click, % x + 30 "," y + 10		; or: Click, % x + 30 " " y + 10

If you omit the parameter separating real comma, Click will most likely use one of its one-parameter modes. For me it does not just a single click:

Code: Select all

#NoEnv
CoordMode, Mouse, Screen
Return

^+y::
MouseGetPos, X, Y
Click, % x + 30 "," y + 30		; or: Click, % x + 30 " " y + 30
Return

How do you mean? All commas are optional with Click.

For me it does not just a single click

What does it do for you?

[Rohwedder]

I am enthusiastic! Even this works:

Code: Select all

x := 100
y := 200
Click,% (x += 30) "," y += 10

Hmmm, I think I fell in this trap before. I overlooked

Separate each item from the next with at least one space, tab, and/or comma.

So all parameters seem to be read as one.

While testing in a Notepad window this 'Click' is selecting text here if the mouse cursor is on text. But after further testing, this seems to happen with Click, %X%, %Y% too.

MouseClick

X, Y
The x/y coordinates to which the mouse cursor is moved prior to clicking, which can be expressions

Good point. I don't use that much due to

The Click command is generally more flexible and easier to use.

but of course, it could be a perfect choice here!
