Avoid screensaver

[NewPlaza]

However, it'd be easy enough to place two mouse moves inside the BitOR where one moves to the location - 1 pixel and the other moves to the location + 1 pixel.

 

I'd like to see that.... and probably use

While BitOR(MouseMove(MouseGetPos(0) - 1, MouseGetPos(1)), MouseMove(MouseGetPos(0) + 1, MouseGetPos(1)), Sleep(3000), 1)
WEnd

As I say, I'm cheating with this code.  The code by guinness is actually shorter.  There's actually 5 lines of code compressed using BitOR.  I'm really doing this:

While 1
    MouseMove(MouseGetPos(0) - 1, MouseGetPos(1))
    MouseMove(MouseGetPos(0) + 1, MouseGetPos(1))
    Sleep(3000)
WEnd

That would work, unless you're using a video player at the time, because it will affect video players that detect mouse movement to show the player controls. I found this out the hard way with VLC player and a mouse movement script like that. Even a very quick one pixel mouse move is enough to trigger the controls to show up occasionally on it.

3 lines..

DllCall('kernel32.dll','long', 'SetThreadExecutionState', 'long', 0x80000003) ; No clue what this value is?
While Sleep(100)
WEnd

That "0x80000003" number was in the original script so when I copied and pasted it there I didn't check it. It stands for BitOr(ES_CONTINUOUS, $ES_DISPLAY_REQUIRED, $ES_SYSTEM_REQUIRED) in case any one really is that interested.

I've used this script, or something very similar to it, in the last job I was working at when the corporate office decided to put every computer to sleep after an hour without bothering to check if they'd be able to be woken up remotely. This eliminated having to drive an hour and a half just to wake up a room of computers that needed updates.

BrewManNH,

How could you temporarily disable that command to allow the screen saver to come on without having the exit the program?

Take the second function in that script that I got that line from, there's a function in the thread that turns it on and off. Just hotkey that function.
