Im making an autoclicker that runs when the left mouse button is held down.
My issue is that line 17 never runs and the click crashes the program. I have all the modules imported. any idea what the error is?

#

since you have your cursor coords already

lethal wharf Mar 10, 2024, 3:24 AM

proper pewter Mar 10, 2024, 3:26 AM

#

lethal wharf oh what

you trying to cheat in a game? 💀

lethal wharf Mar 10, 2024, 3:26 AM

#

no bro

#

i ran out of coding ideas

static crow Mar 10, 2024, 3:26 AM

#

did it work?

lethal wharf Mar 10, 2024, 3:26 AM

#

nope

#

the print(x,y) runs

static crow Mar 10, 2024, 3:26 AM

#

is there an error message?

lethal wharf Mar 10, 2024, 3:26 AM

#

nope nothing after the print(x,y)

proper pewter Mar 10, 2024, 3:27 AM

#

lethal wharf no bro

alright then, carry on

lethal wharf Mar 10, 2024, 3:27 AM

#

lethal wharf nope nothing after the print(x,y)

something about the mouse events is bugging

#

not sure what

static crow Mar 10, 2024, 3:28 AM

#

ok what does it print for x and y?

lethal wharf Mar 10, 2024, 3:28 AM

#

the mouse coordinates?

#

that part seems correct

#

it printed 518 1212

#

i just put that to test exactly where it breaks

static crow Mar 10, 2024, 3:28 AM

#

ok

#

have you tried to run the script with admin perms

#

maybe windows is blocking it

lethal wharf Mar 10, 2024, 3:29 AM

#

no

#

how would i do that

#

?

#

sounds like a good idea but how do I run it with admin perms

static crow Mar 10, 2024, 3:31 AM

#

uhh open the folder that the file is in, right click the python file and run as administrator maybe?

lethal wharf Mar 10, 2024, 3:31 AM

#

maybe the admin module?

static crow Mar 10, 2024, 3:31 AM

#

idk

#

wait im dumb

#

go to the folder with the file

lethal wharf Mar 10, 2024, 3:32 AM

#

yes?

static crow Mar 10, 2024, 3:32 AM

#

and then click the path

#

and type in cmd

#

which should open a command primot with admin

#

and run it there

lethal wharf Mar 10, 2024, 3:33 AM

#

oh ok

#

nope

#

unfortunately still doens’t work

#

it won’t let me type in terminal atall after i click

static crow Mar 10, 2024, 3:36 AM

#

can you put a print after the mouse click down

#

to see if it's going down but no tup

lethal wharf Mar 10, 2024, 3:36 AM

#

ok

#

doesn’t go down either

#

something with how im using win32api is wrong

static crow Mar 10, 2024, 3:37 AM

#

https://github.com/eHonnef/afk-clicker/blob/master/windows/Main.py I'm looking at this to see how win32api is used

GitHub

afk-clicker/windows/Main.py at master · eHonnef/afk-clicker

An AFK clicker that allow to simulate keystrokes (mouse or keyboard) even if the window isn't focused. - eHonnef/afk-clicker

#

there seems to be a pycwnd.SendMessage() thingy

lethal wharf Mar 10, 2024, 3:38 AM

#

oh

#

#

btw here is my other attempt at making this

#

it usees pyautogui for the clicks instead

#

but the same thing happens

#

it crashes at the click

#

let me run this script with administrator perms

#

nope doesn’t work won’t let me close thr window either

#

super weird

static crow Mar 10, 2024, 3:42 AM

#

https://pyautogui.readthedocs.io/en/latest/mouse.html?highlight=mousedown#mouse-clicks

#

what's the recursion for

#

maybe that's causing the crash

lethal wharf Mar 10, 2024, 3:43 AM

#

if the interval is less than holdtime then time.sleep((interval - holdtime)/1000) attempts to sleep negative time

#

sure ill remove it but idk if itll change anything

#

wait no it won't

#

cause I put a print right after it

#

and it runs

#

the print

#

very odd error

#

let me simplify it and remove everything and try a program with just the code to click once

static crow Mar 10, 2024, 3:45 AM

#

Ok

lethal wharf Mar 10, 2024, 3:46 AM

#

#

program lived doesn't print

#

...

#

#

ok there must be something fundamental wrong

#

cause even this won't work

#

i tried installing pyautogui with pip again

#

was already installed

#

doesn't work

static crow Mar 10, 2024, 3:49 AM

#

what python version are you on?

lethal wharf Mar 10, 2024, 3:49 AM

#

how do I check?

static crow Mar 10, 2024, 3:50 AM

#

in cmd, do py -0

lethal wharf Mar 10, 2024, 3:50 AM

#

#

the weird part is

#

the click takes place

#

but nothing happens after

static crow Mar 10, 2024, 3:51 AM

#

ok

#

what if you do two clicks in a row?

#

does the second click happen?

lethal wharf Mar 10, 2024, 3:51 AM

#

good question let me try

#

also hbow do I get rid of the command prompts

#

i can't alt f4 them

lethal wharf Mar 10, 2024, 3:53 AM

#

static crow does the second click happen?

no

foggy dome Mar 10, 2024, 3:54 AM

#

Is there a reason you don't want to use pyautogui?

lethal wharf Mar 10, 2024, 3:54 AM

#

?

foggy dome Mar 10, 2024, 3:54 AM

#

!pip pyautogui

lethal wharf Mar 10, 2024, 3:54 AM

#

I am using it though?

#

im confused

foggy dome Mar 10, 2024, 3:54 AM

#

oh you changed halfway through your post

lethal wharf Mar 10, 2024, 3:54 AM

#

oh sry

#

yeah

foggy dome Mar 10, 2024, 3:54 AM

#

sorry, I just saw your original screenshot

static crow Mar 10, 2024, 3:54 AM

#

lethal wharf i can't alt f4 them

can'y you just click the 'x'?

lethal wharf Mar 10, 2024, 3:54 AM

#

nope

#

this is very weird something fundamental is broken

static crow Mar 10, 2024, 3:57 AM

#

what IDe are you using

lethal wharf Mar 10, 2024, 3:57 AM

#

was using sublime just tried it in vscode

#

doesn't work

#

let me try it on another device lmfao

static crow Mar 10, 2024, 3:59 AM

#

ok

lethal wharf Mar 10, 2024, 4:09 AM

#

pip isn't working on my other device..

#

sorry for the delay ill try it on another device

#

just tried it on another device and now it works

#

let me try the full code on the other device

#

im guessing maybe its because the other user didn’t have admin

#

ok so

#

the basic clicking works now

#

but the larger program doesn’t

#

#

I realize im not putting the mouse up after putting it down

#

thats to keep the loop running though

#

below'

#

its not registering the clicks everything else is fine

#

maybe I have to run it as admin

#

#

okay to summarize

#

this is the current code

#

the loop for when the mouse is held is obstructed by the click being done above since that release makes it think that the mouse button was released

static crow Mar 10, 2024, 4:46 AM

#

ah ok

lethal wharf Mar 10, 2024, 4:47 AM

#

its a tricky thing to make because the clicks sent by the thing interfere with its detection of when the mouse button is held down

#

maybe I could directly get input from the mouse so that its not affected by the virtual clicks send by the program?

foggy dome Mar 10, 2024, 4:52 AM

#

There is no difference between "virtual clicks" and actual clicks.

#

They are all the same

lethal wharf Mar 10, 2024, 4:52 AM

#

yeah

#

what I need is

#

a program that clicks every second while the respective physical mouse button is held down

#

not sure how to do it though

lethal wharf Mar 10, 2024, 4:54 AM

#

foggy dome There is no difference between "virtual clicks" and actual clicks.

i know

#

i was just refering to them as that to differentiate whether the code made them or the user did
