I can't get my /click left command to work

Post by Mordurk » Tue Oct 15, 2002 9:13 pm

I've got everything else working except for the /click left command. I'm running winxp and thought that might have something to do with it. What happens is that when i start the macro, everything's fine up too the /click left part and the program seems to be skipping that. Any help would be appreciated.

If you are using the New UI, that would be why, as it doesn't support that function at this time.

I'm in the old UI. Sorry, should have posted that sooner

Are you telling it where to click, like /click left auto, /click left 320 240, etc et.?

Also, you must make sure your containers, etc. don't open over your inventory screen.

Did you define the merchant in the beginning of your script?

Also before you can click on any merchant slots, the merchant window has to be open. Make sure you've got a

/target MERCHANT
/press u

before you attempt to click on the slots.

i've got the merchant targeted, and where the macro stops working is when the vendor window opens up. I can't buy anything from the merchants. I was wondering if there's anyway around the /click left command. I'm very new to this stuff and not very good with the commands, but i copy/pasted this macro, so it should be working. It just seems to hang up on the /click left command.

I'm having a similar problem with another macro...pottery.mac. I have everything set as it should be. Old UI, bags not over inventory, tried different resolutions, different screen settings. Nada.

ok so merchant window comes up...

What does it do next, does it just attempt to continue with the rest of the script, or does it return an error message in the chat box like
Usage: /click <left|right> <mouseloc>

if it continues then you may need to add a delay before or after the actual clicking, as your comp would be skipping over that step in the code.

if you get an error, there is usually something wrong with what slot your selecting or the way its coded.
It would have to be /click left merchant buy , or /click left merchant 0 (or whatever slot), make sure you specify merchant in the click left statement.

also if you get an error post the portion of the code your having problems with so we can get a better idea of the problem.
