Hi !

Im a vivid AHK user but i found 1 problem.
I cant get AHK to send to SWTOR unless its active window.
In other games i managed with the ControlClick command
ControlClick

ControlClick, x55 y77, Star Wars: The Old Republic

Anyone got it to work ?
Basically what i want todo is click on certain x,y when im browsing the internet for pron.

I'd like to know that too. but Not for porn

does swtor somehow (with a trick) accept PostMessage or SendMessage ? (in-background input to the game)
or only SendInput or keybd_event (foreground, active window input) like aion used to and we've to settle with memory writing for background movement ?

some simple tests with c# and ahk were not sucessful with messages

edit:
ah after some more reading, it was just the stupid UAC which stopped my c# code from working.
ran the code as admin or without UAC and now it works

hmm movement not working yet for me

try putting this bit of code in at the start... it works for me. also make sure you run the macro as an administrator (or disable UAC)

WinActive("Star Wars: The Old Republic")
SendKeepActive("Star Wars: The Old Republic")

Func Start ()
WinActivate ("Star Wars: The Old Republic")

Sending a mouse key to the game window:

; 0x204 = right button down
; 0x205 = right button up
PostMessage, 0x204, 0x1, ((PosY<<16)^PosX), , Star Wars: The Old Republic
PostMessage, 0x205, 0x0, ((PosY<<16)^PosX), , Star Wars: The Old Republic

Sending a keypress to the game window:

ControlSend, , {Space}, Star Wars: The Old Republic

Only thing you cannot do just to the game window is move the mouse pointer. If you send a click command to the game window, the game will actually take the current mouse coordinates and compare them to the coordinates you send. You won't be able to get that part working unless you move the mouse cursor:

DllCall("SetCursorPos", int, PosX, int, PosY)

However the info I just gave you is what I use to script the game running in the background. It's a minor annoyance to have the mouse constantly snap to the same area while I'm browsing firefox, but hey it's better than nothing xD
