I need an AutoIt script

Anyone have one they could throw my way in a notecard?
Got the program.
Don't got the smarts.

It would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Or post here of course.
Again don't got the smarts.

Okay, I may be asking a stupid question...but what is AutoIt?

Ummm...yea...what is AutoIt? And what kind of script do you need for it?

A program to automate other programs such as Second Life.
It sends key commands, mouse clicks, and starts/ends applications on it's own.
Basically if the script is complex enough it will auto log into second life and do whatever I want it to do. Including build on it's own, send IM's to groups on it's own, or simply keep sl from loging out.
A lot of people use it in the game. However I have a feeling they are not often ones who read forums.
I am somewhat new to these myself so I am not sure.
But if any of you do know what I am talking about then it would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

The script I need is to keep 5 or more applications of SL open and running at all times. And to send I'm's at certain times of the day.
Later I will need one that requires simple auto building scripts.

Now for question #2. Why?

This exact message was posted earlier by someone with a name that suggested, quite possibly, camping chairs.

Thus....

This will not end well.

It can be used for camping chairs yes.
I believe that is what most use it for in SL.
The application was not created for second life however.
It was created for accounting and automation in seting up networks.
Editing the BIOS, Installing Windows, Cleaning Windows. The list goes on.
It is a powerful application that could be used in second life for a number of reasons.

And why would it not end well?

Hmmmm 5 AV's automatically sending IM's periodically - sounds like spam to me - nope not gonna help

For that purpose, LSL would just be easier. I suspect the IM's are just to be a beacon (Hi, still sitting here ripping off money)....

I applaud you for feeling you need to automate SL. Go search the internets for macros/bots as you will very likely encounter hostility to such things everywhere that is officially connected to SL.

P.S. in the game of developing the best AI to 'win the game', you will never be given the best AI for free. You must write your own. Even if you do get your hands on an automater, macro maker, bot, whatever, you'll still have to take a lot of time to set up macros, manage them, and fend off people who suspect you're doing so.

Depending on what exactly you're trying to do here, you might want to check out http://www.winbatch.com/ (Assuming your using Windows) or try using your favorite search engine for "Automate Macro " + the name of your OS.

LSL can do a lot of things, including having an object IM an avatar provided you have their key. But to actually force your AV to send keystrokes, click, ect - you may be better off using an external automation program.

I see. Thank you everyone for your help.
I have found a few scripts online and one person sent couple my way after I explained what it was for exactly while in-world.
These provide some extra material for a good foundation to build from. Thank you.

And for those who may assume this might be for any sort of spam. I can only say that I have no interest in being the source of any negative issue for any person or community whatsoever.
Why would a person post about that in the same community they are spaming?

I have never seen such tension on any online community before. Besides those that were dominated by teens.
I could almost bet a greased BB wouldn't shove up some of their butts.
I am speaking more about other posts I have seen recently about camping.

Since some are suspicious then I will try my best to explain a few reasons for the scripts below.
And then after that I will explain what its main project will be used for.

I will be sending data from one avatar over to another avatar in a set interval. Measuring the time it takes between sent data & recieved data. This provides a makeshift pulse on the server, client, & ISP. And it can be done without anyone having to be there watching over the system.
This provides data which is already freely available on the client, main server, and individual sims. But without having to be at the pc.

A simple case scenario: If the server is not responding at all. A trigger is activated, auto emailed, and will provide notification including a type of data log of the event with times of shutdown and some amount of data on the server lag if that is even nessesary.

When the system is setup correctly it is able to provide continuous feedback on a number of other important things as well. Depending on the type of data that is sent and what it would be used for. LSL can be used as a front-end sensor device to feed data back through something like the chat channel and copied from the history. Or whichever means will suffice to get data back to the client.

In the simplest format this provides a fail-safe for anyone who may wish their pc to run an auto-relog script when the client or server is no longer active. At set intervals the login will be attempted. Once login has succeeded it notifies the operator. It will continue with the automation process of recording & sending data once the system reactivates itself.

Why? And what kind of data?
In the case of Second Life this can be used for a number of reasons.
Land owners with this process can provide automated avatars linked with an external AI program for basic tasks.
And yes it can be used for money seats if that is your taste.

A few others and I are looking at making a more complex format of this system. One that could even provide a realistic job for an avatar that would otherwise be sitting on one of those money drama chairs instead.

This can be done by either having an inactive avatar wear an invisible object that listens for the data being sent via the main system, within a type of built in IM channel, and reacts to the commands accordingly.

At the same time the attached object keeps the working avatar out of harms way or from annoying others if something goes wrong in the AutoIt AI.

The end result is that this can provide a sim with a more realistic setting.

For example:
Any simple task can easily be recreated with an AI script in an external programming language. LSL is of course far too limited and serves as nothing more than a sensor and data transmition.

This can make anything automated from interactive bartenders, dancers, tour guides, and even random business people walking down a city street sidewalk.

My intentions are strictly for show.
Those wishing to use Second Life as a basis for movie creation could also benifit from a similar external AI system.
Those willing to provide their avitar(s) as background function for a personal sim would more than likely be payed for it as well.

This perhaps could also give a newcomer to Second Life more than a few alternative options for an open job market. Brining more types of people into the community who would otherwise not be. People who can not build or script but would still like to make money without having to be there. And at the same time giving more quality to the sim running the system.

If this is to work at all for the Second Life enviorment as it is, then an external programming language and system is required period. For reasons already mentioned by another. LSL is limited.

This is simply somewhat expanding the LSL into a language operating outside of the Second Life enviorment.
Unfortunately I only know of this communication to be possible by way of avatars and channels back into objects with LSL scripts. Or to simply animate the avatar using AutoIt to directly trigger keyboard commands.

The task that I have now is adapting the AI program into the AutoIt scripting language. Which turns out is a lot like VB. I do not like VB. And I would much rather beat it with a stick than learn its basics.
So having related resorces to work from, instead of starting from scratch and learning a language I will probably never use again, will help greatly.
I know these exists and some of you have already helped within the game and I thank you. Every little bit helps.

On another note.
I recently took more notice of all the childish drama over these money paying seats here on the forums. And I see the same childish problem starting in this post, or one of my other other posts, as well.

I do not use these forums often enough so I do not know what unwritten rules people comply with here. But the bottom line is this.

I could care less if these seats exist or not.
And I do not care if people get their knickers in a twist over it. So long as they do not put thier ridiculous ranting of it in my face in game or out here.
Or I will give you a VB pinata avie to wear and beat you with a 10 meter stick.

This is about an ability to have a realistic NPC in Second Life by way of player avatars.

Some of these people arguing about these seats really need to grow up. Stop giving a crap what others do with their own time or property.

It all sounds just like children fighting over a swing set.
"I want to sit on the swings!"
"I don't like seeing your ass on the swings!"
"Well I don't wanna seeing your ass either!"
What is this crap?
Live and let live.

It can get pretty hostile sometimes (I hope you didn't take my post as hostile). It's just that this is generally how any automation inquiry goes on any massively multiplayer online anything goes (as far as I've ever seen).

Yes, it's entirely possible you've got lots of legitimate reasons (catching and passing text is a pretty neat one, good idea. Love to see that in action some day as current in/out protocals for sl suck). But as mentioned, people like the drama and the abuses so you'll see a lot of people accusing ya of that no matter what.

It sounds like you found some stuff and I hope it works out for you. Don't let forum people get you down. Especially since I really would love to see inworld avatar->outworld->other inworld avatar comms someday. That kinda thing would greatly speed up certain long range object to object comms.

QuicKeys is very nice for automating apps and the OS. Its available for Windows and Macintosh:

Y'know, another possible good use of this that I'll mention, since I still don't have a dedicated machine to play around with it...

Since there are no LSL commands to write a new notecard or modify a notecard, someone out there could play around with the ideas mentioned in this thread and set up a solution. Simply have a dedicated machine running SL that uses an automation program to control an AV, and check for e-mail.

You could even set up a service; the e-mail subject is the key of the AV or object the notecard should be given to, e-mail message text is the notecard's text. A customer would just send off an e-mail and the automated AV would create the notecard and send it on it's way. llTeleportAgent will make even more crazy stuff possible.
