Neither pyautogui nor pydirectinput works when I try the click function

I'm trying to use the click function. Even though the cursor moves to the exact coordinates, it doesn't click, and the process finishes with code 0

import tkinter as tk
import pydirectinput as p
import time

coords = [0, 0]
p.FAILSAFE = False

def white_screen():
    overlay = tk.Tk()

    def close(event):
        coords[0] = event.x
        coords[1] = event.y
        overlay.quit()

    overlay.attributes("-fullscreen", True)
    overlay.attributes("-alpha", 0.3)
    overlay.configure(bg='white')
    overlay.bind("<Button-1>", close)
    overlay.mainloop()

white_screen()

time.sleep(1)
p.click(x=coords[0], y=coords[1],clicks = 2)

I used pyautogui first, and then I saw someone recommend pydirectinput, but that didn't work either. i also tried running the code as admin.

Solution

  • "Using overlay.destroy() instead of overlay.quit() fixed the problem for me, as someone mentioned in the comments.
