Table Highlighter (New AHK Script)

[_dave_]

Hi Adde,

I am glad you like my alterations to this script - let me re-state, I am now finding this script an essential part of my Party multi-tabling aresenal [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Many thanks.

I have actually made a few more modifications now. I have changed the <font color="blue">TH_DoHighlight:</font> function to this - (new parts in <font color="blue">blue</font>, I think):

Basically, this retrieves the countdown timer from "static3" (if it is visible), and makes the highlight bar cycle through varying colours depending upon the urgency of action required - it starts off cyan, then green, if it gets to less than 6 seconds, it goes red and also beeps the PC speaker [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]


--------------------------------------------------------------------------
TH_DoHighlight:
<font color="blue"> th_bar_color = 00FFFF ;cyan

ControlGet, s3vis, Visible, , Static3, ahk_id%tableID%
if (s3vis)
{
ControlGetText, remaining, Static3, ahk_id%tableID%
If( InStr(remaining, "You have") AND InStr(remaining, "secs to respond"))
{
StringMid, remaining, remaining, InStr(remaining, "You have")+9
StringMid, remaining, remaining, InStr(remaining, "secs to respond")-2,, L
;MsgBox %remaining%
If(remaining &lt;= 6)
{
th_bar_color = FF0000 ;red

SoundBeep, 1500, 20
Sleep, 30

}
Else If(remaining &lt;= 9)
{
th_bar_color = FF8000 ;orange
}
Else If(remaining &lt; 12)
{
th_bar_color = FFFF00 ;yellow
}
Else If(remaining &lt; 16)
{
th_bar_color = 00FF00 ;green
}

}
}
</font> CoordMode, Pixel, Relative
if (th_tables_arr%indexThis%2 = TRUE)
{
<font color="blue"> Gui, %guiNum%: Color, %th_bar_color%</font>
continue
}
WinGetPos, x, y, w, h, ahk_id%tableID%
px := x + th_bar_left
py := y + th_bar_top

Gui, %guiNum%: +Alwaysontop +Lastfound +Owner
Gui, %guiNum%: Color, %th_bar_color%
WinSet, Transparent, %th_bar_trans%
Gui, %guiNum%: -Caption
Gui, %guiNum%: Show, w%w% h%th_bar_height% x%px% y%py% NoActivate

th_tables_arr%indexThis%2 := TRUE
}

There must be a more elegant way of doing this, but I am somewhat new to this AHK business...


With this I can now play 8+ table of 6-max no problem... it is excellent, again, many thanks.

My modifications I think are very crude, and surely there is a cleaner way of doing this? Is there an equivalent of the switch/case construct in AHK or must these things be done with many else/if statements?

Many thanks,

dave.
