Help with Java Bot

[SimpleF]

Hello, im wondering if anyone here could help me out, this is the first time i try to make a simple macro program

anyway this program i have set it to press a key and click the mouse, (This is for an MMO)

the question im having is, How do i make the program switch to the game when i want the key to be pressed ? i want to do other things on my computer while the macro is clicking on the same key in this game, currently when i activate the macro, i have to switch to the game and let it do its thing, but i want the program to automatically, when its suppose to press the key it does it inside the game and not on something i have open.

here is my code

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.AWTException;
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.EventQueue;

import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.border.EmptyBorder;

import net.miginfocom.swing.MigLayout;

import javax.swing.JButton;

import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;

public class TERA extends JFrame {

	private JPanel contentPane;

	/**
	 * Launch the application.
	 */
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
			public void run() {
				try {
					TERA frame = new TERA();
					frame.setVisible(true);
				} catch (Exception e) {
					e.printStackTrace();
				}
			}
		});
	}

	public TERA() throws AWTException {
		setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
		setBounds(100, 100, 450, 300);
		contentPane = new JPanel();
		contentPane.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(5, 5, 5, 5));
		setContentPane(contentPane);
		contentPane.setLayout(new MigLayout("", "[]", "[][]"));
		final Robot myRobot = new Robot();
		
		JButton btnMouse = new JButton("Mouse");
		btnMouse.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
			public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
				myRobot.delay(2000);
				for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
					//myRobot.mouseMove(1005, i);
					myRobot.mousePress(InputEvent.BUTTON1_DOWN_MASK);
					myRobot.delay(1000);
					myRobot.mouseRelease(InputEvent.BUTTON1_DOWN_MASK);
				}
			}
		});
		contentPane.add(btnMouse, "cell 0 0");
		
		JButton keyButton = new JButton("Key");
		keyButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
			public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
				myRobot.delay(5000);
				for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
					
					myRobot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_F);
					myRobot.delay(15000);
					
				}
			}
		});
		contentPane.add(keyButton, "cell 0 1");
	}

}

i read some posts here, saying C++ is a better program to deal with online gaming and such, im not the best programmer out there but i am alright, so if C++ is the better choice, i could switch
but my question would still be the same as above, how do i make the program do its thing inside the game and not on something i have open ( like internet, word or something like that )

Thanks

Searched some and this is all I found:

Using Java to set the focus to a non Java application in Windows - Stack Overflow

Considering the 2nd method to be the easiest one!

write a VBScript to activate another application. For example:
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.AppActivate("Firefox")
Then use Runtime.exec from your Java app to execute the script.

Im afraid that I dont know any other way of doing it in java!

Thank you,

do you know how to do it in another language like C++ or C# maybe ?

C++:
Assuming you have a handle of the window you want to give focus, SetFocus(HWND hWnd);
You can either get the handle by process name, window name or starting it through your application. (Google "C++ Get HWND from [process name/window name/started application]"

Im glad that I could help!

focus onto another window??

Thank you very much

No problem at all, Im glad I could help!

Indeed c++ is much better for mmo bots or basically any kind of game hack tool or mod tool, the fact of the matter is that c++ has easier and more powerful native methods and functions for scanning reading and writing to memory of a process. Java has some of them but it's a total pain in the ass and the only main kit java has for automated actions is Robot.class which scans pixels so unless you want to make a ghetto ass pixel color bot I don't recommend java for the particular occasion. To get the bot to do things you need to find memory addresses inside the process(im assuming tera process) and read/write to them. Every action in the game writes out an encrypted address so like when I press W that function is sent somewhere and read by the server so you simply need to write to memory that address over and over again with a bot to get your character to act out pressing W however many times you need it to, hardest part is finding out what those addresses are im sure on some tera bot website or maybe even on here somebody has a list of at least a few addresses used on your game.

I started playing around in C#, it looks more similar to Java, (the way you type it out), and it looked easier for me to get started with

and i started playing around with memory adressing aswell, i been able to find the memory adress of the HP bar in Tera, however currently im looking for a tutorial on how to use the adress in C#, if there is anyone out there that knows of a tutorial i would be very grateful,

Cheers

c# will work if your looking for a java like structure to programming and syntax, but again not as powerful as c++ or as equipped for mem edit/reading but can still be good
