macOS AppleScript and GUI

[laur5730]

Is it possible to make a GUI to an AppleScript I wrote?

Because I want this is:

------------
|    [COLOR="Red"][3][/COLOR]    |       <--- My ultimate writing skill :)
|    [COLOR="Red"][5][/COLOR]    |
|    [COLOR="Red"][6][/COLOR]    |
|__[Start]__|

This is how the GUI should look like. 3 = X, 5 = Y, 6 = Z. So depends on what I wrote in my windows (The code) the script will change. Look in next code

tell application "TextEdit"
activate
end tell

set [COLOR="Red"]x[/COLOR] to 3
tell application "System Events"
repeat x times
keystroke "Hello"
keystroke return
end repeat
end tell

set [COLOR="Red"]y[/COLOR] to 5
tell application "System Events"
repeat y times
keystroke "Hey there!"
keystroke return
end repeat
end tell

set [COLOR="Red"]z[/COLOR] to 6
tell application "System Events"
repeat z times
keystroke "Last One"
keystroke return
end repeat
end tell

The red text what is variable in this script/application

I hope very much this can be done. I have like 0.5% knowledge in AppleScript so I need to ask you gurus, hehe

When learning a language, it's best to follow a tutorial, rather than trying to do it entirely on your own. This is especially true if you know no other computer languages.

------------
|    [3]    |
|    [5]    |
|    [6]    |
|__[Start]__|

I can't tell what that's supposed to represent. Is it a window? If so what do the [3], [5], and [6] represent? Buttons? Selectable list items? Text-entry fields?

It represents a text-entry field that will effect the AppleScript for what I write in the field. If you want me to draw a picture to show, I can do that

AppleScript has limited GUI options. "Display dialog" and "choose from list" are about it.

If you're game, you can load Xcode (it's one of the optional installs on your OS X disk), which will give you full access to the operating system.

There are other "wrappers" like Pashua that provide more of a UI without having to learn Xcode.

I see now there is something called AppleScript Studio which is Xcode and AppleScript. So I searched for guides how to handle events when a button is pressed. But it seems they have removed it. Look at link, that was in 2008 so it is outdated, but that was how you did it...

that was before but it seems the AppleScript tab is gone...

What should I do know to handle actions and events?

Thanks in advance

This is a good place to start.

An btw, if you're still trying to bot WOW, there's a good chance you'll get caught and be perma-banned.

I know there is a chance

Ups, I have read a little for that link, but it does not help me here
