Array help

[MasonMill]

Hi Guys,

I have a message box that a red tab pops up if i get a message from someone and the script is supposed to click on that red tab( tab could pop up anywhere) and type a message saying im not here. Im getting an error so somethings not right in me script. Any ideas why?

the error reads

Mouseclick("Left", $newtab[0], $newtab[1],1,0)

Mouseclick("Left", $newtab^ERROR

Error: Subscript used with non-Array variable.

here is my script.

While 1

sleep(2000)

NewMessage()

WEnd

Func NewMessage()

$newtab = PixelSearch(12, 608, 511, 630, 0x842523) ; Looks for color

If $newtab = 1 Then ;If it exists then

send("{ESCAPE}");toggles correct mode to use cursor

sleep(1000)

MouseClick("Left", $newtab[0], $newtab[1], 1, 0) ;Clicks the first instance of that color

sleep(500)

send("{ENTER}");opens text field

send("I am not here right now, please leave a message")

sleep(2000)

send("{ENTER}");sends message

exit

EndIf

EndFunc

MasonMill,

Your line to check if PixelSearch has found the colour is wrong.

If it is successful then you have an array - if it fails you have a return value of 1.

Perhaps if you tried something like this:

Func NewMessage()
    $newtab = PixelSearch(12, 608, 511, 630, 0x842523) ; Looks for color
    If @error = 1 Then ;If it does not exist then
        ; do whatever you do if it fails
    Else ; It does exist
        Send("{ESCAPE}");toggles correct mode to use cursor
        ; etc

Thanks for the help guys, SEuBo i tried what you suggested but it doesnt respond that. I tried that erlier too. Melba if i dont want anything to happen if the is no tab and just want a response if the red appears how do i code that line?

Here is how i had it earlier but it didnt work either.

While 1

sleep(2000)

NewMessage()

WEnd

Func NewMessage()

$newtab = PixelSearch(12, 608, 511, 630, 0x842523) ; Looks for color

If IsArray($newtab) = 1 Then ;If it exists then

send("{ESCAPE}");toggles correct mode to use cursor

sleep(1000)

MouseClick("Left", $newtab[0], $newtab[1], 1, 0) ;Clicks the first instance of that color

sleep(500)

send("{ENTER}");opens text field

send("I am not here right now, please leave a message")

sleep(2000)

send("{ENTER}");sends message

exit

EndIf

EndFunc

MasonMill,

Are you saying that the If IsArray($newtab) = 1 Then version did not work? Because it looks fine to me - you will just return from the function if PixelSearch finds nothing.

You could also write it as If @error <> 1 Then - or If Not @error Then - it comes to the same thing.

P.S. When you post code, please use Code tags. Put [autoit ] before and [/autoit ] after your posted code (but omit the trailing space - it is only there so the tags display here).

[MasonMill]

Yeah, the IsArray version doesnt work. I tohught it looked perfect! Any suggestions why it doesnt work? I know the pixelsearch and color are right becasue it starts the script with the version of the original post, I dont know why this one doesnt work. Duely noted on the [autoit] and [autoit/]

[MasonMill]

DUH, i got it! I needed to set the threshold a little higher on the pixel search. the message box is a bit transparent.... =/

Thanks for the sounding board guys!
