Help with script issue.

[Popeye1]

I'm looking to solve an issue in my script, but am not sure where to even look. The script checks an if statement using pixelsearch, if for example 0x000000 is found, then the script needs to store that information and add +1. The script would then continue on and eventually start at the beginning of the master while loop again, and come back round to this pixelsearch if statement and if the colour is still 0x000000 then it needs to add another +1, so if the original value was 0, it would now be 2, and every time the script repeats this cycle and finds 0x000000, it would add another +1.

A different section in the script would be checking to see if this number has became 30 or greater (for example) and executing some code if so, aswell as resetting the number back to 0 again.

I don't even know where to look in the help file for this, can anyone help?

Heres a simple way, although I find it quite difficult to believe you searched either the forum of the help file after having said you've written a script.

$count = 0
While 1
    PixelSearch(0, 0, 10, 10, 0x000000)
    If @error <> 1 Then
        $count += 1
        If $count >= 30 Then
            MsgBox(0, "", "Yippeeeee")
            $count = 0
        EndIf
    EndIf
WEnd

Great, that works, thanks. Can I use the message box to display what number $count is currently at?

you can, but you would definately want a timeout on it otherwise you would have to keep clicking ok.

MsgBox(0,"Count",$count,5)

I'm using a tooltip instead of a messagebox

ToolTip(" check xxx", 400, 3)

Can this be used to display the number %count is at?

I don't see why not

if xxx is your count then it would be

ToolTip(" check "&$count,400,3)

Sure. Give it a try. Halve the fun of AutoIt is experimenting to see what you can do.
