Programming with Autohotkey for screenshots
I'm really bad with coding and I've tried different suggestions from reddit (unhelpful) and stackoverflow (rude and unhelpful) but the script I'm trying to figure out for AutoHotkey isn't working.
It's extremely simple what I want to have done. I just want the right mouse button to be pressed down and drag 1 pixel in the specified direction. This seems to work with the script I'm currently using and will move the screen by 1 pixel to the left or up depending on whether I enter 1 into the X or Y coordinate. If I want to reverse the direction of the X/Y movement and put in -1, the scrip doesn't work at all. The mouse still moves, but it never right clicks and nothing happens. I'm just getting frustrated with this and hope someone can hellp me out.
This is the script I'm using now and again, it will work for moving in one direction either left or down, but will not work once I change the x or y to -1.
This code was the only answer I got in reddit and it just doesn't work at all... :(
Thank you so much for helping. *fingers crossed*

click up right ; let go before continuing
sleep 2000

go := 0 ; loop has finished
