Table Highlighter (New AHK Script)

[jukofyork]

Perhaps one thing that could also help, would be to have the bar flash when you are running very low on time at a table (I have a new version of AR which kinda does this in a different way [and it was very helpful], but it still has a small bug, so I've not released it yet).

I set the threshold for flashing to be about 7-8 seconds remaining and found this was a good balance between too much flashing, and too little time to get to the table to act.

Good points. I'll try and see how it looks. I hope the flashing experience won't be too overwhelming though, since the PA stats are quite flashy for me now, at least some time into a multitable session.

Nice script. I noticed you're doing it with graphic checks instead of looking for action buttons. Don't you find that slower than checking for the windows?

On flashing: Set the script up so that anyone who likes/doesn't like the flashing can toggle it easily in the script code, and let them choose.

Nice job.

Thanks Adde,

Is there a way to make it to work more generally. Like for any active window? Right now I believe it only works for Party and their skins. Thanks.

How do you change the bar location, size and color? I couldn't find anything useful on OC.com...maybe I'm just retarded though.

; Define width and height of Highlight Bar.
; Bar will be drawn at (x,y) coordinates (0+th_bar_left,0+th_bar_top) of active window.
; Default values 26 and 0 for Height and Top will mimic the window title bar.
; Default values of 65 and 510 will create a larger bar over the chat box area.
; Try wich one suits you best.

th_bar_width = 795
th_bar_height = 26 ;65
th_bar_left = 0
th_bar_top = 0 ;510

; Define color and transparancy of Highlight Bar.

th_bar_color = FF0000
th_bar_trans = 150

Thanks Mogobu. As for grapic checks, that's the only way to see if the advance action button is checked or not. If already checked, no highlight bar should be shown.
