GetCursorPos : XUnleashed Scripting Documentation

The following seems to fail silently (script appears to not run). Can you suggest what the problem might be?

Dim x, y
XUScriptHost.GetCursorPos(x, y)
XUScriptHost.LMouseDown(x, y)
XUScriptHost.Sleep 200
XUScriptHost.LMouseUp(x, y)

Dim x,y
do while true
XUScriptPlugin.Window.Title = "MousePos"
XUScriptHost.GetCursorPos x,y
XUScriptPlugin.staStatus.Text = "MousePos is " & x & ", " & y
XUScriptPlugin.Window.Invalidate
XUScriptHost.Sleep 100
loop

Yes, that program works fine.
For some reason, the GetCursorPos won't work in this one though.
Any ideas?

Nope sorry, I dont know how to use 90% of those commands.

bump....
Can't anyone tell me what the problem is here?

Try using on the LogFile function to use CStr(LogFileName)

It might be crashing out on the log file stuff if it is expecting a string, and vbs only allows to create variant types.

Thanks for the suggestion, and i can try that... but I don't think that's the problem. This code works fine if i use keydown's instead of the mousedowns. the logfile code works fine unchanged.

Is there any way to get the visualbasic error message?

Not currently. We are adding some scripting enhancements now that we have GUI support for error messages, etc.

flash, can you record and playback macros that have mouse recordings?

Do you have hardware mouse turned on in the Start->Programs->FFXI->Config settings?

This is with DAOC, so no such menu.

But... the simple script that loops and read's the mouse works fine.

yes.

You run a script, but the mouse down script commands do not work?

Try making the sleep commands between the mouse down events longer.

Also, these tips might help.

1. You CANNOT use () when calling a SUB. To verify if you have accidently done this, try double clicking the script outside of XU. Ie, from windows. If you get ANY error other than complaining about the XUScriptHost, you will need to fix it.

2. Try using MouseMove TO the point you want to click at BEFORE you click there. Some apps have a detection alg to prevent it from doing mouse clicks if the mouse is not physically at that spot.

So, try

XUScriptHost.MouseMove x,y
XUScriptHost.Sleep 200
XUScriptHost.LMouseDown x,y
XUScriptHost.Sleep 200
XUScriptHost.LMouseUp x,y

I'm not at all sure what was broken, but I've not got the script working.
I'm *very* pleased with what this simple script does. I'll posting to the script
examples group soon.

Thank you for the help.

Sorry. last posting should have said...

I've got. not "i've not got". lol. It's working fine
