Simulating Mouse Clicks

Namfon.Natcha's icon

Is there an object or external that can be triggered with a signal (like sending a "bang" command), and in response, can make the mouse click?

I have tried [aka.mouse] but no luck (could not load due to incorrect architecture).

Thank you in advance.

Maybe [11clicks] by 11Olsen? Available here. I dn't know is their externals are compiled for ARM macs however, if it's your concern.

11Olsen does not have time anymore for his tools. Is anybody still using "11live.tools" and can help me?

In 2022 I made a mega remote control in max v8 and I'm trying to make it work again after migrating to m4l v9 but I remember nothing about how to make 11live.tools work as in the console I'm getting "11clicks - no such object". Probably just a file preferences setting to point to some 11 thing folder?

Thank you.

why should max 8 patch not work in max 9 ?

I would understand the opposite, with new objects etc ...

You can still find it from web.archive.org if you dig a little bit. Last version of 11live.tools external I could get is from 05/24/2022. I won't link directly the correct page or upload the external here, because if I remember correctly their author wants them to be fully removed from the web in order to avoid having people keep asking for support even though these have been explicitly discontinued.

There is a chance 11live.tools doesn't work with the latest Live API, so for better compatibility and future-proofness, I would just remove that external entirely and either remove the feature that was relying on it or work around it.

I just needed to do this recently on Mac - the best solution I found was to install the command line tool cliclick and run it from the shell object. Works!

I used Node for Max with this library https://github.com/octalmage/robotjs

@John J.A. Jannone

Thank you for your reply. Would you mind tell me herewhat did you do to make the migration?

I confess that I can't even remember what 11clicks did and how it worked but I can post that section of my multi functions patch and maybe I can get some help to migrate there miself.

Here's is the patch. The "r udpr1" object receives OSC messages from an "s udpr1" linked to the output of an udpreceive:

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

Thank you.

you use clicks, mouse position and wheel.

I would say your best bet is to use 11clicks.

it is only a matter of placing it next to max patch and to freeze your device

if it needs to be portable.

with all other shell/node etc options you will face same problem:

your device needs to find them...

I can't find 11clicks anymore.

Does anybody know where I could find a copy of 11clicks nowadays?

Thank you.
