Changing the cursor's position

[legolizard]

Hello everybody,but I have a bit of a problem. You see I have written a program that sets the your cursor's position, which is in fact not that difficult for me since I know some Java and C++. However my problem lay in Alice. My program runs fine in Alice 2.2(what my home computer has), but when I copy the EXACT program into Alice 2.0 I get a gazillion(literally) errors. Can someone please help me as to why.

Thank you.

because 2.0 has a lot more errors/bugs than 2.2 in general, so your best bet is to not to try to run it in 2.0

Well I kind of need it to work in 2.0 because this is the version I have to use at school.GRRRRRRRRRRRR

[sfunk]

That is lame you have to use 2.0 lol well you could ask arty fishl or jediaction, they tend to know how to fix those kind of problems, you should post the actual error though so they can get a better understanding of it.

Okay, thank you.

[sfunk]

yep no problem.

This is just a suggestion, I'm not sure what else to suggest, but try this:

def setCursorPos(x, y):
    r = java.awt.Robot()
    mouseSub = java.awt.MouseInfo.getPointerInfo()
    mousePos = mouseSub.getLocation()
    xCor = int(mousePos.getX())
    yCor = int(mousePos.getY())
    r.mouseMove(int(xCor + x), int(yCor + y))

Java in its entirety is already imported, so the imports might cause a problem somehow - I don't know.

Well, now I get less errors, but now it says:

Throwable that caused the error:

Traceback (innermost last):

File "edu.cmu.cs.stage3.alice.core.property.ScriptPrope rty[name=script,owner=edu.cmu.cs.stage3.alice.core.res ponse.ScriptResponse[world.my first method.__Unnamed0__.__Unnamed3__]]", line 1, in ?

AttributeError: java package 'java.awt' has no attribute 'MouseInfo'

However at least I learned that I no longer have to import java.

try:

def setCursorPos(x, y):
    r = java.awt.Robot()
    mousePos = edu.cmu.cs.stage3.awt.AWTUtilities.getCursorLocation()
    xCor = int(mousePos.getX())
    yCor = int(mousePos.getY())
    r.mouseMove(int(xCor + x), int(yCor + y))

I have two words to say to you Mr.arty-fishl...

Thank You!
