Simple script request from a noob

[VizjerianExile]

Im looking for a basic scripting program that will simulate the Right click of a mouse every 1-2 mins random. It needs to just be 1 click, then wait 1-2 mins, and repeat. It doesnt need to be in any specific position, just where ever the curser is put by me and i know Nothing of autoit scripting, im relativly new at it. thank you for the help!

this should do the work:

While True
    $timestamp = TimerInit()
    $time = random(60, 120, 1) * 1000
    While TimerDiff($timestamp) < $time
        sleep(1000)
    WEnd
    MouseClick("right")
WEnd

let me guess, you need your PC to not run the screensaver...right?

this should do the work:

While True
    $timestamp = TimerInit()
    $time = random(60, 120, 1) * 1000
    While TimerDiff($timestamp) < $time
        sleep(1000)
    WEnd
    MouseClick("right")
WEnd

I entered the script in, compiled it, and tried to run it and got this error:

Line 13 (file *script location*):

While True

While ^ ERROR

Error: Unknown function name.

i belive you are not

as boolean support (true and false) were added only a few versions ago (actually 3.2.0)

just use While 1 instead of True. Should do the trick.

While 1
    MouseClick("right")
    Sleep(Random(60, 120, 1) * 1000)
WEnd

Thanks all for your help this is working rather well.

You are right... we don't want to show all of the newbies how easy it can be. We could work ourselves right out of this high paying position. :-)

Hmmm, I could have one main script launch a child script to keep track of the time and STDIO the main script when it is time to click; then the main script launches a second child to do the actual click. :-)
