Error moving mouse to location

[Jonathan Zwi]

I am trying to set mouse coordinates in order to call hs.eventtap.leftClick() at various locations, however I am struggling.

I am able to click at the starting coordinate:

   local cursorLocation = hs.mouse.getAbsolutePosition()
   hs.eventtap.leftClick(cursorLocation)

but unable to properly move the mouse after this initial click.

I have tried various alternatives, but none are working.  Where is my error?

Variation 1a

   hs.mouse.setAbsolutePosition(cursorLocation.x+100, cursorLocation.y+100)

Variation 1b

   hs.eventtap.leftClick(cursorLocation.x+100, cursorLocation.y+100 )

I am not even able to successfully specify the point coordinates​​)

​Variations 2a

   hs.mouse.setAbsolutePosition(​100, 100)

​Variations 2​b​

   hs.eventtap.leftClick(100, 100)

Thanks for any help.

The hs.mouse.setAbsolutePosition and setRelativePosition take a 'point' table as the argument, so you need to try this instead:

  hs.mouse.setAbsolutePosition({x=100,y=100})

Or you can do:

   hs.mouse.setAbsolutePosition({x=cursorLocation.x+100,y=cursorLocation.y+100})

That will work for you!

Adrian,

I ultimately found a different solution, but thanks for the response—seems I just needed to add the curly brackets!

Best,

Jonathan
