Of course, their launch and works takes a long time. Everything is solved much easier.
For example this test script with 50 clicks, is executed in ~6 seconds. And 99% of this time is spent on clicks. Without clicks, but with 10ms delay it's performed for ~550ms.

public static class VoiceBotScript
{
    public static void Run(IntPtr windowHandle)
    {
        // Calculate execution time
        var watch = Stopwatch.StartNew();
        
        // Save current position
        var pos = new int[] {BFS.Input.GetMousePositionX(), BFS.Input.GetMousePositionY()};
        
        // Call method with mouse actions
        MouseActions();
        
        // Restore saved position
        BFS.Input.SetMousePosition(pos[0], pos[1]);
        
        watch.Stop();
        BFS.Dialog.ShowMessageInfo("Total time elapsed: " + watch.Elapsed);
    }
    
    public static void MouseActions()
    {
        // Here your can make all mouse actions.
        
        // For example, 50 clicks with the initial coordinates of X=300, Y=500 and X offset by +10 pixels to 500.
        var posList = Enumerable.Range(300, 500).Where(x => x % 10 == 0).ToList();
        foreach (var pos in posList)
        {
            BFS.Input.SetMousePosition(pos, 500);
            //BFS.General.ThreadWait(10);
            BFS.Input.LeftClickMouse();

I have a command that moves the mouse and does some clicks, then returns the mouse to the position prio to any of the moves/clicks. The problem is that the script macro for getting and storing the mouse position is extremely slow (3-5 seconds for just getting/storing the mouse position, and then another 3-5 seconds to have the follow-up script return the mouse to its previous coordinates). Add to it that it pretty much opens another window.

1. Macro Script to get/store the mouse position
=============================================

Code
Copy
Select All

using System;
using System.Drawing;

public static class VoiceBotScript
{
    public static void Run(IntPtr windowHandle)
    {
    int mouseX = BFS.Input.GetMousePositionX();
    int mouseY = BFS.Input.GetMousePositionY();
    BFS.ScriptSettings.WriteValueInt("MouseX", mouseX);
    BFS.ScriptSettings.WriteValueInt("MouseY", mouseY);
    }
}

=============================================

2. Multiple "move/click here" commands.
3. Macro Script to restore the mouse position to previously saved coordinates:
=============================================

Code
Copy
Select All

using System;
using System.Drawing;

public static class VoiceBotScript
{
    public static void Run(IntPtr windowHandle)
    {
    int mouseX = BFS.ScriptSettings.ReadValueInt("MouseX");
    int mouseY = BFS.ScriptSettings.ReadValueInt("MouseY");
    BFS.Input.SetMousePosition(mouseX , mouseY); //Moves the mouse cursor to the earlier stored values.
    }
}

=============================================

Unfortunately, using these macro scripts are just too damn slow (it works, but takes up to 10 seconds just for 3 steps (get position, move mouse, and move mouse back to previous position. Other voice command software has a simpler (and much quicker) way to grab the mouse coordinates, and then recall those variables/values later-on. Is there an easier way to do this in Voicebot?

Please advise.

Thanks,
