pixelsearch with pixelchecksum

[keyserSoze15]

Hello all. My problem is this: When I search my screen for a particular color of a pixel and then check the surrounding values to verify that I have indeed found the correct pattern, my program gets stuck re-checking the same pixel over and over. How do I make it skip over that pixel and find the others on the screen?

Thanks

PixelSearch(0,0,@DesktopWidth,@DesktopHeight,$colorSearch)
while @error = 0
$var = PixelSearch(0,0,@DesktopWidth,@DesktopHeight,$colorSearch)
$sumcheck = PixelChecksum($var[0]-2,$var[1]-2,$var[0]+2,$var[1]+2)
MsgBox(0,"Sum is ",$sumcheck)
if $sumcheck = $sumcalc Then
    MsgBox(0,"found one",$var[0]&","&$var[1])
EndIf
WEnd

Change the area you are searching according to the results of your first search; to do this use the coordinates found from the first search for the second search.

Example:

$FirstWhiteFound = PixelSearch(0, 0, @DesktopWidth, @DesktopHeight, 0xFFFFFF) ;Search for white pixel.
If Not @error Then
    If PixelGetColor($FirstWhiteFound[0] + 1, $FirstWhiteFound[1]) <> 0xFFFFFF Then ;If the pixel to the right it isn't white.
        $SecondWhiteFound = PixelSearch($FirstWhiteFound[0] + 1, $FirstWhiteFound[1], @DesktopWidth, @DesktopHeight, 0xFFFFFF) ;Start search one pixel to the right.
        If not @Error Then MsgBox(0, "Success", "Found second instance of 0xFFFFFF")
    EndIf
Else
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "Couldn't find 0xFFFFFF")
EndIf

Thank you very much.
