Hello everyone!

So im really new to this whole Autoit thing and i just started to learn it!

I have this unanswered question that i would like to see if anyone here could answer?

Im not 100% sure how to use the loop function "While" as the last time i tried it, it didn't work out very well!

So if anyone has the time to explain how to use it correctly then i would really appreciate that!

Thank you guys!

Cheers. :)

akke92,

 

Should i try again?

Given what happened last time, I would strongly suggest not. And if you read the rules to which I linked you then know why. ;)

Hehe, thats what i thought! i've read the rules but im unclear on which point you mean i do wrong, it could be that "i ask for help with a autoit script" but i've seen others done that alot on this forum! or it could be "Running or injecting any code (in any form) intended to alter the original functionality of another process" but im not sure, do you think i could post the code again if i remove the top part and just send the code starting from the "While 1" appeared in the code? ;)

It seems you were trying to automate a game. You definitely should not post about it again.

As it says in the Forum Rules, you're not supposed to ask about that here for many reasons, among them being that it is often a violation of the Terms of Service of many applications, and also because encouraging it generally attracts unsavory clientele to the forum.

It's a shame you didn't read the rule before posting.

akke92,

Your earlier thread was locked, as I explained when I did so, because it involved automating a game server - as that is pops up when I Google "Extalia". Limiting your question to understanding While loops I am just about prepared to accept - but not if you make it too obviously linked. ;)

Well here's a While Loops crash course:
 

;While Loop Structure
While {Expression}

    ;.
    ; Do actions
    ;. 

WEnd

While loops are used to repeat a block of code several times based on a expression.

Expression are conditions that evaluate to Boolean values (True/False)

As long as the condition at the top of the loop evaluates to True, everything inside it (between it and the WEnd keyword) will be continuously executed.

Hope that helps :D
 
You can read more about it Here at the Autoit Helpfile!

It doesn't really help me... :( As i've tried following code already and it only loops maximum two times it really seems not to be working? maybe it's a bug or something with the current AutoIT version i have on my computer? but im supposed to have the latest? if i understand what you said you mean that it should be like i wrote right? but it doesn't work?... :(

or have i made it wrong?

while 1
Send("{HOME}")
Sleep(52000)
WEnd

Well you do have it set to wait for 52 seconds in between each keypress... perhaps you aren't waiting long enough?

Thats not it, im waiting long enough! I've tried waiting 3 minutes but it just stops there?

Is it maybe a to long delay/sleep? Maybe it's having a hard time counting that much? 

i have a other script, which looks like this that works just fine? on that one, im using while 1=1 though but i've tried that on the other script aswell and that didn't fix it? :(

while 1 = 1
Send("{LEFT down}")
Sleep(5000)
Send("{LEFT up}")
Send("{RIGHT down}")
Sleep(6000)
Send("{RIGHT up}")
Send("{LEFT down}")
Sleep(4710)
Send("{LEFT up}")
Send("{UP}")
Send("{UP}")
Send("{UP}")
Send("{UP}")
Send("{UP}")
Send("{UP}")
Send("{UP}")
Send("{UP}")
Send("{UP}")
Send("{UP}")
Send("{UP}")
Send("{UP}")
Sleep(1000)
Wend

Yep, that was really immature of me. What If i remove everything that leads to automation of the game? Would you mind helping me then? please! :)

I think no one will help you, it too obvious... :whisper: :whisper: :whisper:

ill get to that... i still need to learn and understand a lot of codes graduated.gif

Correct answer, learn to walk before you take on that marathon.

Works perfectly fine for me.

The below demonstrates it.

ShellExecute("http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/165081-loops/")

While 1
    Sleep(2000)
    MouseWheel("down", 10)
    Sleep(2000)
    Send("{HOME}")
WEnd

Probably the game blocking it, and that's what you won't get help with.
