Hi Dang.
...Firstly, sorry for taking ages to respond to this queery, hope it's not
useless info for you by now. but my laptop was down for few days this week,
so, ... yeah,
kinda tricky to get to everything in the meantime.
Ok, Firstly, to my admittedly non-exhaustive knowledge on this, there's no
builtin way in HotSpotClicker, of being able to execute different
hotspots/functionality depending on number of times key is pressed, within
a hotspot definition.
Although it is indeed a very interesting idea!
However, ways would have to be thought of to get around the fact, that
sometimes, hotspots are not executed by hotkeys, but simply by arrowing to
them in a list and hitting enter. so, yeah, would take some design thought
re any future implementation of such a feature.
So, your second desired alternative, was to know how you could make your own
script, then attach it to a single key, which triggers one hotspot if
pressed once, then if pressed twice quickly, executed a different Hotspot,
to facilitate, as an example, speaking text at the first press, and clicking
the mouse at that spot if user presses key twice, via an alternatively
programmed second hotspot.
Is that correct?
Well, as perhaps a very simple example, you might accomplish something like
this with the following example test code:
oh BTW, the magic Run HotSpot primary function your looking for, to
incorporate into a script when desired, as in this case, is
HSCLookupKey ()
And what a doozy it is! Check out the number of variables in that puppy!
hahaha.
; note: be aware that to my understanding, pressing the Script's key twice,
thus making IsSameScript true, does,not, prevent the SinglePress Script from
fully executing, as you might initially expect. It will interrupt speech, if
the SinglePress is only speaking text, as in this case, but one would need
to take care not to make the SinglePress, Else condition, a leftClick action
in the hotspot attached to that.
There's probably a way to do that, but I'm not aware of what it would be.
Script ReadClickScreenArea1 ()
; Reads ScreenArea1 if ScriptKey is pressed once, clicks there to bring
focus if pressed twice.
var
int iTimesPressed
let iTimesPressed = IsSameScript ()
if iTimesPressed == 1 then
; We know if the IsSameScript function is true, i.e. if it equals 1, that
the key of this script has actually been pressed twice. even though
iTimesPressed value is 1. don't get confused by that.
; so carry out desired Double-press functionality, I.e. run second
LeftClick hotspot.
HscLookUpKey ("MyLeftClickHotSpot'sKeyName") ; E.g. "Alt+1" etc.
; note: if the Hotspot you wish to run as Parameter to the HSCLookUpKey
function, does not have a key assignment because you wish to save Key
RealEstate, replace the KeyName inside quotation marks above, with the
actual name/label of the Hotspot instead.
; I.e. alternatley:
;HscLookUpKey ("MyLeftClickHotSpot'sLabel")
else ; key has only been pressed once so carry out the hotspot to speak text
HscLookUpKey ("MyReadTextHotSpot'sKeyName")
EndIf
EndScript
hth.
