Script that moves my cursor in a circle

[LAPIII]

If not the above scenario, do you have any other scripts or applications running that have anything to do with positioning the mouse? Are you using a laptop with a touch screen or touchpad? Does your mouse pointer ever move to another location of the screen at other times instead of slowly moving in a path to a new location? What is your mouse pointing device?

I turned off all my other scripts and apps to eliminate interference with them. I am using a laptop with a touchpad, which is my pointing device, and the pointer has never acted erratically.

It’s not that it would be acting erratically. If you are touching the touchpad at all while it’s running, you would be moving the mouse from where it’s moving in circles.

You didn’t answer the questions about what you are doing while it’s running. After you start the script, are you just hitting the hotkey to un-pause it and holding down the left mouse button so it draws in MS Paint? Are you pausing and un-pausing the script? Since you must be holding the left mouse button down, is your hand possibly occasionally touching the touchpad?

[LAPIII]

What I was doing after I start the script is, in MS paint, to un-pause and hold the left trackpad button down. I'm sure that I wasn't touching the touchpad. I used these hotkeys to help check for interference:

Code: Select all

1::DllCall("mouse_event", "UInt", 0x02) ; left mouse button down
2::DllCall("mouse_event", "UInt", 0x04) ; left mouse button up

Well, I can’t see how what is happening is a result of the function itself. To try to isolate it, just run your script without trying to draw anything in Paint. Just press the hotkey to unpause it and watch the mouse pointer move without touching your computer at all.

It still moves to another area on the canvas to move in the circle. I was thinking testing in Virtualbox by making a Windows 10 virtual machine.

Code: Select all

1::DllCall("mouse_event", "UInt", 0x02) ; left mouse button down
2::DllCall("mouse_event", "UInt", 0x04) ; left mouse button up

u wrote these dllcalls wrong, so any garbage thats left in memory nearby, gets passed as arguments to the function

To active click CTRL + 5 script is there:

Code: Select all

;Input my radius
InputBox, Radius, Radius, Input Radius
;Draw my circle
^5::
MouseGetPos, StartX, StartY
MouseMove, 0, %Radius%, 0, R
MouseClick, Left, , , , 0, D
Loop 64
{
	xVar := Radius*Sin(A_Index/10)
	yVar := Radius*Cos(A_Index/10)
	DrawX := StartX+xVar
	DrawY := StartY+yVar
	MouseMove, %DrawX%, %DrawY%,
	
}	
MouseClick, Left, , , , 0, U

Return

^`::Pause
^2::Reload
