Improvements

1. MOUSE POSITION NEAR now supports additional paramaters to define the near value for the X and Y coordinates
2. MOUSE POSITION NEAR now no longer evaluates true if the X or Y coordinate is near. Now X AND Y coordinate must both be within the near ratio
3. Improvement to how the RANDOM variables handle random numbers
4. The RUN PROGRAM Action now can accept program arguments:
- 1 | RUN ACTION | RUN PROGRAM | D:\Macro\MiniMouseMacro.exe::"d:\Macro\launch.mmmacro" /e
- www.turnssoft.com/conditions.html#runprogram for info and examples
5. New shortcut (Ctrl+-) added for 'Skip Mouse X & Y'

Fixes

1. Random numbers within RANDOM variables now do not repeat the same value within loops
2. Integer math failing to correctly detect math operators has now been fixed
3. Importing a saved Macro Queue file now does not trim the last row imported

Any chance of getting the option to look for a pixel color in PIXEL RANGE function?

[Steve]

I'll check it out thanks Zeak

[zeak]

Steve is it possible to add a parameter to MOUSE NEAR function? to choose something other then 50+/-?

[Steve]

I'll look into that. it shouldnt be too hard to add in.

Hi Steve,

Would it be possible to add the wait function from draw to input box?
example, input box ask if you would like to pause and the rest of the macro continues. when you click yes it would trigger the next check.

Zeak can you throw in some pseudo code with an example you think this might look like as a macro. I'm having a hard time picturing this one.

[zeak]

I thought is this would work like pressing Crtl + F key to pause the macro but instead having a visual on screen button.

1 | RUN ACTION | INPUT BOX | Loop how many times?::LOOP::INTEGER
2 | RUN ACTION | INPUT BOX | Pause?::PAUSE::PROMPT_YES_NO::STRING::WAIT NO
* | Actions Required
3 | %RANDOM_1860-1920% | %RANDOM_460-495% | %RANDOM_2000-2500% | Mouse Movement
4 | %RANDOM_1860-1920% | %RANDOM_460-495% | %RANDOM_60-90% | Mouse Movement
5 | %RANDOM_1860-1920% | %RANDOM_460-495% | %RANDOM_300000-330000% | Mouse Movement
6 | %RANDOM_1860-1920% | %RANDOM_460-495% | %RANDOM_60-90% | Mouse Movement
* | Pause for user input if required
7 | RUN ACTION | WAIT SECONDS | 3
8 | IF | STRING VARIABLE | %STRING% | IS | YES | GOTO MACRO LINE | 12
9 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER%::-1
10 | IF | INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER% | IS | 0 | STOP
11 | RUN ACTION | GOTO MACRO LINE | 3
12 | RUN ACTION | INPUT BOX | Resume::RESUME::PROMPT_YES_NO::STRING::WAIT YES
13 | IF | STRING VARIABLE | %STRING% | IS | YES | GOTO MACRO LINE | 2
14 | RUN ACTION | GOTO MACRO LINE | 12

I can make this do the same thing by running a secondary macro with the button prompt but thought it would be cleaner if it could be all incorporated into one.

Hi Zeak,

The MOUSE POSITION NEAR Action accepts any value already:
1 | IF | MOUSE POSITION NEAR | {X=2947,Y=105}::100::123 | IS | CONTINUE
1 | IF | MOUSE POSITION NEAR | {X=2947,Y=105}::5::5 | IS | CONTINUE

Another one for you Steve,
Could you put the Edit entry "Skip Mouse X & Y" on a shortcut key please.

What would be a good key combination for it? ctrl+ <somekey> ?

maybe ctrl+- (ctrl + minus key)

[zeak]

Hi Steve,

Unfortunately my work place has automatically blocked the update page.

[Steve]

What page was it Zeak?
Looks like you work place is blocking executable (.exe) files. You might need to zip the file or ask your workplace to bring it in.

[zeak]

I managed to talk IT into unblocking the page.

Hi Steve,

Any chance of still getting this?

I had a look at that function code and it basically takes a mapping of the pixel range at run time and loops on a thread comparing the new pixel map pixel by pixel with the old mapping. It shouldn't be to hard to add something like 'but if that pixel is [some color] then we have a match'.


                   For x = 0 To bmporig.Width - 1
                       intYP = 0
                       For y = 0 To bmporig.Height - 1
                           ' ADD Pixel Color code matching here
                           If bmporig.GetPixel(x, y) <> bmpp.GetPixel(x, y) Then
                               boolNoChange = False
                               Exit For
                           End If
                           intYP = y
                       Next
                       intXP = x

                       If boolNoChange = False Then
                           Exit For
                       End If
                   Next



I'll look into it.
