New to the autoit scene and in need of guidence.

[gastra]

First of all let me say i have had a good look round the site before i signed up checked everything i could and searched high and low for a list of commands and a description of each command does one exist?

Before finding autoit i have only ever used macro express and could do anything with that program, From setting it to bid on an ebay auction to capturing "Notorious Monsters" in ffxi online. That program has been a favorite of mine for years and first introduced me to variables which i now use a lot but ME was gui based it had a list of commands and you simply select and insert what you need and maybe edit in text notepad.

Anyway i am new to this but also really eager to learn is there any offsite materiel i should be reading? good guides not mentioned here?

Anyting would be much appreciated.

At the moment im trying to make a simple script that will loop 2 functions, in macro express it works fine and goes like this...

loop 500

Delay 0090

Get pixel colour

Under mouse

insert into variable %n1

If variable n1 = x

left mouse button click

end if

loop

Simple and easy but switching to auto it after using that program is really hard i know i just need to revise a little to get my mind more autoit focused thanks for any replys.

Sleep (5000)

$pos = MouseGetPos()

$var = PixelGetColor( $pos[0] , $pos[0] )

MsgBox(0,"The decmial color is", $var)

MsgBox(0,"The hex color is", Hex($var, 6))

would that get the pixel colour from under the mouse?

I doubt that...

The help file is basically that. It's included in your AutoIt install and is also available online http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/

If you're new to AutoIt, the help file is really all you need. if you're new to programming in general there are several AutoIt themed guides catered towards that audience: http://www.autoitscript.com/wiki/Tutorials
