CoordMode, Mouse, Client
run, stp-unravel.exe, D:\Games\Unravel\
WinWaitActive, ahk_class stp-unravel.exe,, 15

ControlClick, PLAY
ExitApp

you guessed it , once the launcher is open it wont autoselect PLAY, also using TAB wont switch between PLAY and EXIT , so it dont react to keyboard input only mouse input

This line is not correct:

Code: Select all

WinWaitActive, ahk_class stp-unravel.exe,, 15

It should be:

Code: Select all

WinWaitActive, ahk_exe stp-unravel.exe,, 15

nope , still dont autoselect PLAY...nothing , sadly, as said only thing that shows is the actual process stp-unravel.exe this goes for command line , also only stp-unravel.exe nothing else in process explorer, well you do have PID and GDI

[boiler]

Whether it selects PLAY yet or not, that line was incorrect so it wouldn't move past that line until it was fixed. Now that it is, you can address how to make it play. Some windows just don't respond to ControlClick. You can try seeing if running your script as administrator makes a difference. If not, then try clicking on the location of PLAY using the Click, either by known location or perhaps by finding its location first with ImageSearch.

You can run this version of the script to see if recognizes the window based on the corrected title info. If it shows a MsgBox at all, it does.

nope , that wont work either gives a code in a message box thats random every time i try it tho, this time its this>

Launch Unravel , Autoplay.ahk

Nope, that means it’s working actually. That “random” code is the ID of that window. That means the window is being properly identified. It changes each time the window is created. So you can move on to how to click PLAY now that the window is properly activated. You can remove the MsgBox line now because it means the WinWaitActive line is doing what it is supposed to. If it didn't, it never would have arrived at the MsgBox line.

Being on an admin account doesn’t cause your script to be run as admin. If the process you are trying to automate is elevated (meaning your program is running as admin), then the script usually has to be an elevated process (meaning running as admin) in order to interface with it, regardless of your account’s privilege level.

>try clicking on the location of PLAY using the Click, either by known location >

not sure how to do that

Use the Window Spy tool to determine the location of where to click PLAY when that window is active. Choose the client coordinates since that is what you already set as CoordMode in tour script. Then use the Click command to click on that location after the window is active.
