Editable Code For Auto-Clicker Program (Patreon)

(Warning this is the first draft of this article. There may be errors and/or better suggestions for patreons to come as often happens with any kind of code sharing)

In many of my videos/patreon articles I write something like "this can be done with a simple auto-clicker". There are many simple yet profitable tasks in warcraft you can do by just pressing a key repeatedly, for example never going afk.

While you can generally download things like simple auto-clicker programs for free-these are often riddled with scumware/spyware if not actual viruses and you can't generally alter the code easily, so I'd thought I'd share some simple code to do this:

CODE BEGINS

#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.

SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superiority in speed and reliability.

SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

; Define the mouse button to click

clickButton := 1  ; 1 for left click, 2 for right click

; Global variable to track the clicker state

clickerOn := False

; Start the auto clicker

Loop

{

; If the clicker is on, click the mouse button and wait for 1000 milliseconds

If clickerOn

{

Send {clickButton}

Sleep 1000

}

}

; Toggle the clicker state when the Ctrl+S key combination is pressed

^s::

clickerOn := !clickerOn

CODE ENDS

How to use this script:

1. Go To autohotkey.com and follow the instructions to download autohotkey.

2. Add a text file to the directory you have called something like "clicker".

3. Cut and paste the code into the text file and save it with the extension .ahk (eg clicker.ahk)

4. Now run the program.

To activate the program press ctrl + s

By default this will click every 1000 milliseconds. To change this edit the "Sleep 1000" line to

something higher or lower depending on your needs.

For more advanced edits you can cut and paste the code into chatgpt and/or google bard and ask it to amend the code to do what you want. (At least to some extent - it struggles with some things like randomization).

If you somehow manage to completely screw this up at any stage (as may have happened to a infamous warcraft gnome youtuber) the nuclear option is to use ctrl+alt+delete to open your task manager and shut down the autohotkey program/s altogether.

As a side note I find it much faster to do a lot of web-browsing with an auto-clicker-you often just don't need to click when you know the layout of a site well.
