[Request] Help writing a 180 degree mouse movement.

[Parog]

Hello there MMOwned. I'm looking to write a very small program. ( In C++ or Autoit ( I have more knowledge in Autoit, but would rather write it in C++, for the sake of learning. )

The function would be to use the button Mouse4 to do a 180 degree turn. This will be used mostly in FPS games, but could be modified later on for 180 click turn for stuff like blink and disengage in WoW.

I understand that the 180 degree turn depends on the resolution the user is playing in and maybe mouse sensitivity in-game but I may be wrong on that.

I'd like some help getting this started, as I have no clue what I'd have to do to make this happen.

I wouldn't mind being lazy and just have someone write it and let me figure out the coords needed for a perfect 180, but that probably won't happen.

HotKeySet ( "key" [, "function"] ) does not work for mouse buttons... will look into it

AutoItSetOption ( "MouseClickDragDelay" , 20 )
MouseClickDrag ( "left", x1, y1, x2, y2 , 0 )


"left" is the chosen mouse button. 0 is the speed(instant moving). if 0 does not work try 1.(100 would be the slowest)
try to figure out the right coordinates as i dont know your mouse sensivity.

mouseclickdragdelay sets the time(in milliseconds) between start and end of the mouse click drag... standard is 250.
if the mouseclickdrag does not work try to find the best value here.


edit: I think it will be easier to write it in vb.net... for me atleast.
in vb it can handle mouse events easier. or you set a hotkey on your keyboard.

No idea about C++ but this is how you do it in C# if you can find a converter.

Control.MouseDown();
Cursor.Position = new Point(Cursor.Position.X + 525, Cursor.Position.Y + 0);
Control.MouseUp();

you schould set the mouse to a fixed point before the turn... so that the mouse does not hit the border of your screen and does a too short move.
and than set it back to the previous position.

edit: dont know if it can hit the border while being pushed
