What version are you using?  How did you install it?  Is you input folder in the correct spot?

On my computer it's:  C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Include

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I'm using v3 (most current because I just got it this morning)

I downloaded the zip and extracted it onto my desktop.

And I have no idea what the hell you're talking about "input folder"

It's alright val :whistle: Anyhelp from anyone is appreciated and I'm glad you've at least shown interest in helping me!

put the Autoit folder in your Program Files... so you don't have to change all the Include functions in the future to their full path.

Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

Moving it now, I'll run the script ASAP and let you know what happens.

Update: GUI started fine. Seems to be working.

Something else I'd like to see on the gui would be a display for the timer and a way to minimize the gui to the system tray. Is that possible?

Look up TimerInit() / TimerDiff() in help and there was a post a few days ago on minimizing to tray.

GL..

Setting up a timer and the systemtray is now on my todo list. But untill I get that done I want to have the script actually work. I just tested it 3 times and each time all it did was select the active window! (Hell, at least that works.) but after that it doesn't do anything.

This is the code I'm using as of right now

#include <GUICONSTANTS.AU3>
Opt("WINTITLEMATCHMODE", 4)

Global $Paused
HotKeySet("{PAUSE}", "TogglePause")

$MAIN_GUI = GUICreate("AutoIt Example", 125, 50)
$BUTTON_1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("START", 10, 10, 50, 30, $BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON)
$BUTTON_2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("STOP", 65, 10, 50, 30, $BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON)

GUISetState()


While 1
   $MSG = GUIGetMsg()
   Select
      Case $MSG = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
         Exit
      Case $MSG = $BUTTON_1
         MAIN_LOOP()
      Case $MSG = $BUTTON_2
         If Not IsDeclared("iMsgBoxAnswer") Then Dim $iMsgBoxAnswer
         $iMsgBoxAnswer = MsgBox(4,"Exit Chose","Are you sure you want to Exit?")
         Select
            Case $iMsgBoxAnswer = 6
               Exit
         EndSelect
   EndSelect
WEnd

Func MAIN_LOOP()
   $CNT = 0
   While WinExists("PHANTASY STAR ONLINE Blue Burst")
      Sleep(60000)
      $CNT = $CNT + 1
        If $CNT = 1 Then
          If Not WinActive("PHANTASY STAR ONLINE Blue Burst") Then WinActivate("PHANTASY STAR ONLINE Blue Burst");
            Send("{ESC 3}")
            Sleep(500)

        EndIf
        If $CNT = 15 Then
           Not WinActive("PHANTASY STAR ONLINE Blue Burst") Then WinActivate("PHANTASY STAR ONLINE Blue Burst");
            Send("{ESC 3}")

            Sleep(500)
            Send("{DOWN}")
            Sleep(500)

            Sleep(500)
            Send("{ENTER}")
            Sleep(500)
            Send("{ESC 3}")
            $CNT = 0
        EndIf
    WEnd
EndFunc

Func TogglePause()
    $Paused = NOT $Paused
    While $Paused
        sleep(100)
        ToolTip('Script is "Paused"',0,0)
    WEnd
    ToolTip("")
EndFunc

What could I have screwed up?

Edit: Updated the code

Did you minimize it?

Instead of While 1... Try: While WinExists("PHANTASY STAR ONLINE Blue Burst")

I changed the line that you suggested, it works fine.

It's still not doing the commands that it's assigned to do. I've update the code above, again. Maby someone can see what I don't...

Try debugging it w/ a MsgBox: (on a 2 second timer)

#include <GUICONSTANTS.AU3>
Opt("WINTITLEMATCHMODE", 4)

Global $Paused
HotKeySet("{PAUSE}", "TogglePause")

$MAIN_GUI = GUICreate("AutoIt Example", 125, 50)
$BUTTON_1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("START", 10, 10, 50, 30, $BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON)
$BUTTON_2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("STOP", 65, 10, 50, 30, $BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON)

GUISetState()

   $MSG = GUIGetMsg()

      Case $MSG = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
         Exit

         If Not IsDeclared("iMsgBoxAnswer") Then Dim $iMsgBoxAnswer
         $iMsgBoxAnswer = MsgBox(4,"Exit Chose","Are you sure you want to Exit?")
         Select
            Case $iMsgBoxAnswer = 6
               Exit
         EndSelect
   EndSelect
WEnd

Func MAIN_LOOP()
   $CNT = 0

Also, you took the If Not and replaced it with just Not... I don't understand that logic.

Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

Well, I did that because I was hoping that the two if cmd lines were causing an error. It didn't help me.

Anyways, I got the msg popup with you code and it still was not execing the commands. This is getting depressing.

Added: It also showed the complete dialog so either the script is totally fubar'd or the game has somehow disabled emulated keystrikes. (It has gamegaurd so I have no clue)

Well, I've gone through debuging it. Riping it apart. Compiling it into an exe. So finally I got the idea of trying to see if the on screen keyboard would send the keystrokes to the game.

And it doesn't.

I'm kind of pissed off I just spent about 9 hours learning how to script and code this one thing and it doesn't work, but at least I've learned something today.

Well don't give up yet on scripting. There is a lot for things that can be made automatic. I once made a bot to gain levels in a RPG game. So I was multi tasking in my sleep. Sleeping and playing my game at the same time. Just so you know, AutoIt3 is the easiest scripting lauguage I know of and you can do more then just make bots with it. You can use it to store information in INI files and retrieve the info like customer data. If you like you can even build small games with it, search Hangman and Snake in the scripts and scraps section of the forum.

P.S. You don't have to complie the script to run it on computers with AutoIt3 installed.
