Slowing down the script?

Discussion & Questions
1

I have a script that doesn't work as expected. Simple script with:

  • move mouse to position_1
  • scroll (on a webpage menu is that matters)
  • move mouse to position_2
  • click

The issue is that the click doesn't happen at the right mouse position. Maybe the scroll part goes too fast for my computer? I noticed that if I remove the last "click", the mouse position is different than with the "click" action.

Can I slow down the script? I tried adding a 1 sec delay (before the scroll, after the scroll and both), but it doesn't seem to work. The delay function doesn't seem to work as intended.

And that's why this kind of script:

is a complete waste of time.

If you describe what you're actually wanting to do, someone may be able to tell you how to do it properly.

Yes, everything matters. Knowing it's a webpage you're interacting with tells me we'll be thinking in JavaScript, and the move-scroll-move bits aren't needed, and the click is will most likely either be with the intention of triggering a hyperlink to load a new URL, or calling a JS function.

Is there really no way to slow down a script? This way I can use what I already have.

The delay function doesn't seem to work, this person had the same issue:

Is it a known bug?
