John404 Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 (edited) Hi all, I've joined today and started learning today Soo , here is what i have so far, basically the script is supposed to left click whenever it sees the color red (ff0000) Okay so here is what I have HotKeySet("{F6}","_Exit") While True $color = PixelSearch(60,0,1365,767,0xFF0000) If $color = 0xFF0000 Then MouseClick("left") Sleep(30) EndIf WEnd Func _Exit() Exit endfunc But whenever it sees the color red, it never left clicks Not sure if I did something wrong, or what?... EDIT: This is what I have now: HotKeySet("{F6}","_Exit") While True $color = PixelGetColor(@DesktopWidth / 2, @DesktopHeight / 2) If $color = 16711680 Or $color = 16646144 Then MouseClick("left") Sleep(30) EndIf WEnd Func _Exit() Exit endfunc But how do I know what the color is...?

Realm Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Hello John404, Welcome to the AutoIt Forums! First you need to fully read the Help file to understand what the functions do and return before using. PixelSearch() looks for the color you have setup in it's parameters and returns the coordinates of that color pixel in an array, not the color for each pixel it searches. Give this a whirl and see what it does for you! HotKeySet("{F6}","_Exit") While True $color = PixelSearch(60,0,1365,767,0xFF0000) ;Read Help file for what functions really do! If Not @error Then ;PixelSearch returns the coordinates that if finds your color, not the color found. MouseClick("left", $color[0], $color[1]) ;<--Needs coords to click at which are returned in an array from PixelSearch Sleep(30) EndIf WEnd Func _Exit() Exit endfunc My Contributions: Unix Timestamp: Calculate Unix time, or seconds since Epoch, accounting for your local timezone and daylight savings time.

Realm Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Is there a way to make a toggle for this?Yes, Read HotKeySet in your help file. It has a prime example for creating a toggle with the function example 'TogglePause' My Contributions: Unix Timestamp: Calculate Unix time, or seconds since Epoch, accounting for your local timezone and daylight savings time.

John404 Posted November 13, 2011 Author Share Posted November 13, 2011 (edited) What can you not find? your help file, or the function in it? Edit: Typo The function in it, I found the help file. Anyways, I took a look at the website and this is what I got HotKeySet("{F7}", "TogglePause") Func TogglePause() $Paused = NOT $Paused While $Paused sleep(100) WEnd EndFunc But whenever I hit F7, the tool just stops. So the whole code now looks like this HotKeySet("{F6}","_Exit") HotKeySet("{F7}", "TogglePause") While True $color = PixelSearch(60,0,1365,767,0xFF0000) ;Read Help file for what functions really do! If Not @error Then ;PixelSearch returns the coordinates that if finds your color, not the color found.

Realm Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 In your help file there is 4 tabs in the indexes on the left side. Choose the 2nd one actually labeled 'Index' and Enter the phrase 'hotkeyset' and it should put it right at the top of the index choices for you to double click on.

Thanks I'll be using thisI've followed the tut (it's the same one as on the website), but it still terminates the script! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realm Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 If it's terminating your script or giving you results less than what you desire, look into your code and find what is terminating it and correct it. If you have problems locating the error, then post your code and ask for help again.

Realm Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 (edited) Read the Error messages that popup, or if your using Scite, read the console messages at the bottom. They will help you in determining what is wrong. Especially the Scite Console messages. You erased your _Exit() Function, but still have a HotKey assigned to it. Your script can't find it which causes the error. I highly suggest adding it back, especially on that script or you could find yourself in an infinite loop that can only be stopped by bruteforcing shutdown on your machine. Edit: I'm sorry, I must have missed that part in your script. I do see it there. Well a simple test on my side shows your script working fine. What I suggest is using the 'AutoIt Window Info' Tool that came with your download, and obtaining the actual color with it. You might not have the correct shade of red in the Pixelsearch parameters.

Everything is working fine, 2 things left for me to finish my project.Okay, 1)Lets say that there are 2 pixels on your screen that is visible, first it will click on the first red pixel, then it will drag the mouse to the second, is there any way to not let this happen? I need it to just click and that's it2) My toggle which we are working on at the moment.Edit: For 1, I will do a test (trial & error) Edited November 13, 2011 by John404 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John404 Posted November 13, 2011 Author Share Posted November 13, 2011 Okay so I've fixed the first problem in this project, it was gathering the radius of my entire desktop and there were other pixels with the exact same color, that's been fixed, thanks. Now all I'm stuck with is the toggle, and that's really confusing me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realm Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 (edited) 1. So you need to drag the mousebutton while down from 1 point to another? 2. The Pause Toggle is not working, and crashing your script because you forgot to declare the variable $paused. add Global $Paused = False to your script to declare it before it is used. Suggestively somewhere near the top of your script. Edit: Been awhile since I have used a Pause toggle. Changed the declaration to include it being initialized in the False state.

Okay it stopped giving me my errors, but now when I hit F7 again it won't continue. I was thinking about making another function and leaving that to true (Not paused) But there has to be an easier way... so this is what I have now HotKeySet("{F6}","_Exit") HotKeySet("{F7}", "TogglePause") While True $color = PixelSearch(563,222,852,451,0xFF0000) ;Read Help file for what functions really do!

Project complete! Thanks a lot for your help, I really appreciate it I'll start to learn from this, and hopefully be able to contribute in the future! I kind of like this tool, it's much easier than java / vb.net, all of those complicated languages used to make such a simple script, I mean really... Hey, would you happen to have any project recommendations, you know... for beginners? So I could start learning + developing neat projects + understanding what each syntax does, I've seen some of the syntaxes here and I compared it to java, so I was able to understand it right away. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
