Simple Chatter. Idea, but nee help.

Id like to make a simple script that while playing World Of Warcraft would read a line from a txt file and send it to WOW.

So say in game i hit the "M" key, the script would then read line one, and send it to WOW.

Ghetto expamle:

; Sets the "Pause" Key to Exit. 
HotKeySet("{PAUSE}", "EndScript") 
: Sets the "M" key to send text to the WOW window.
HotkeySet("{PAUSE}", "Talky") 



; Brings up the WOW window. 
WinActivate($win_title, "") 
WinSetOnTop($win_title, "", 0) 
Sleep(1000) 

talky()

:Waits for the "M" key to be pressed and sends the line to the window
func (talky)
While 1
hotkey is pressed
    $line = FileReadLine($file)
    send $line
    If @error = -1 Then talky()

EndIf 
Wend

Am i even close?

Getting close. Try a _FileReadToArray to get the whole file and use a For loop to go through it line by line.

Also, you are using Pause for both functions. Make sure you change the Talky one to "M"... or better yet use a combo like "!m" for alt-m because AutoIt will capture the M key from ALL other programs.

And if you're using this while you're already playing WOW, it's already activated, so you don't need the WinActivate and WinSetOnTop stuff... or maybe you do, I haven't scripted games yet.

How about the random() function.

It seems like it would be easyer to set everything up within one Au3 file.

Im just not sur ehow to generate a random number and then take that and send a string of txt that corresponds with the number.

expandcollapse popup

; Sets the "Pause" Key to Exit the script. 
HotKeySet("{PAUSE}", "EndScript") 
HotKeySet("{m}", "Talky") 


; Globals 
$win_title = "World of Warcraft" 
$1 = "hey hey" 
$2 = "hey now"
$3 = "woo woo"

WinActivate($win_title, "") 
WinSetOnTop($win_title, "", 0) 
Sleep(1000) 




func talky()

Random([[1 ,] 3]) 

;Random number between 1 and 3. Each number calls a global.
If Random([[1 ,] 3]) = 1 Then  
    Send("{$1}") 
Elseif
    Random([[1 ,] 3]) = 2 Then  
     Send("{$2}") 
Elseif
    Random([[1 ,] 3]) = 3 Then  
     Send("{$3}") 
Else
Talky()
Endif
endfunc

Func EndScript() 
$exit = MsgBox(4, "Ender", "Exit the scipt?") 
If $exit = 6 Then 
Exit 
EndIf 
EndFunc

Or would i use $var1 $var2 and $var3 in stead of $1 $2 $3?

my brain hurts

Dim $array[3] = ["hey hey","hey now","woo woo"]

Send($array[Random(1,3,1)])

Dim $array[4]

$array[1]= "hey hey"

$array[2]="hey now"

$array[3]="woo woo"

Send($array[Random(1,3,1)])

You can easily return text from INI files. I use something like this in Guild Wars, for sending common shouts, emotes, etc.

TY guys/gals for all the help. Got it done and it wooks great. Basily it does the voice emote "Im out of Mana." , triggers a key to drink mana juice, and quotes a silly line about drinking.

Heres the code:

expandcollapse popup

; <AUT2EXE VERSION: 3.1.0.4> 

; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
; <AUT2EXE INCLUDE-START: C:\Documents and Settings\Home\My Documents\Oomer.au3>

; 
; Oomer by Dirtybob. 
; Just hit PAUSE to end.
; Thanks to the guys on the Au3 forums for answering my questions.
