MS with PC Games

[fightcancer]

I'm "power leveling" my character in this old PC game and for some reason MS is of no help. Here's my code.

Code: Select all

SetFocus>Jagged Alliance 2*
WaitReady>0
MouseMove>423,238
Wait>2
RClick
Wait>2
LClick

(The Wait> commands are unnecessary, but I added them just to see if timing was an issue.)

Here's what happens. MS will move the mouse to the correct coordinates, but will fail to RClick, i.e. the icon that should appear when I manually RClick within game never appears when running my MS script.

1) Neither will MS LClick when I substitute the first RClick with an LClick. (An LClick in the game should cause my character to move.)

2) "Let>SK_LEGACY=1" does not help.

3) I've experienced this same problem when working in the popular JPG viewer ACDSee 2.43 where MS seemed to become impotent.

4) I'm running this game in fullscreen mode. Is there any inherent attribute of MS that precludes me from using it in this manner?

Thanks.

Full screen means your system is NOT multitasking. The game takes over entirely. So not other process is going to run and Macro Scheduler is certainly not going to be able to manipulate the game. It would have to be running in windowed mode for Macro Scheduler to simulate input against it.

It is also possible that the game uses lower level intercepts and does not listen to the usual mouse/keyboard events that Windows responds to.

Thank you for the fast response!
