mouse not clicking

I am a bit of a noob at apple script, I am trying to make it click at a point after pressing a key. I don't know where I've gone wrong and its probably very stupid. This is what I already have:

tell application "System Events"

repeat 200 times

delay 10

key down "w"

delay 20

key up "w"

delay 10

click at {969, 910}

end repeat

end tell

Double clicks when I just want single click So I just moved over to a new Mac Studio with Ventura 13.2.1. I'm getting double-click behavior *sometimes* when all I want is a single click. I have slowed the double click speed down to its slowest setting (slider at leftmost) in settings->accessibility->pointer control, and I have the same issue whether I'm using an Apple Magic Mouse or a Kensington wired trackball (so I know it's not the device). Super annoying; I'll click on a file to get some info about it and it starts to open, or I'll single click on some parameter to modify and it'll act like I double clicked it. Any thoughts about what else I can try? TIA! rich

Automator Clicking I am trying to get Automator to click every 3 minutes and repeat for 3 hours unless you think this is detrimental to the Mac I was trying to set this up with the following example (pictured below), just to see if it would work over 1 minute. Would like to know how to set this up to click every 3 minutes for 9 minutes and also click every3 minutes for 180 minutes. The reason for the shorter time frame is I don't know how to stop the repetition without force shutting the mac down as the pointer is engaged with Automator. Is there a way to stop Automator once the clicking program is engaged? I realize my pic is not what I want, just was testing and can't see how to get the pointer to click every 20 sec for a minute. It shuts off in a minute, but the clicking is not every 20 seconds. Hope this is not too confusing :( As always, many thanks
