Pixelsearch help please

[Kanta]

Hello. I've been searching this site and the web in general for the last 4 days to try and find a solution to my current issue. The problem being I really do not know what I'm doing, where to start what to search for and the list goes on. Every example I find for possible solutions rely on the script initially opening the window. I can't find anything on how to use any sort of code with an already loaded window and I have no clue how to adapt the code. Here's what I'm trying to do:

In a game that I am playing, I need to do a pixel search for certain colors for the game to use certain potions. I can't tell you how many different code lines I have tried with this. I can get it to successfully detect the color and use the potion. The hitch that I can't figure out is that if I move the window it is no longer checking the right pixels. I have tried setting the pixelcoordmode, mousecoordmode and so on but nothing is working. I've tried making sure the window is active before anything is done but apparently I can't get that right either. I even went so far as to figure out how to rename the window via AutoIt to try and make my job easier, and I succeeded to get it to change the name, but in the end it didn't help me any. I see there's an $hWnd variable or something that can be set in the pixelsearch but I can't figure out how to get this to even come close to working. Seriously, I'm trying, I'm searching and I'm failing miserably.

#include <WinAPI.au3>
WinSetTitle("[CLASS:Gamebryo Application]", "", "Changed name")
_WinAPI_SetFocus("Changed name")
$hwnd = WinGetHandle("Changed name")
Opt("MouseCoordMode", 2)
Opt("PixelCoordMode", 2)
 
##########  CUTTING OUT IRRELEVANT LOOP CODE ##########

   ;--------------------------------------------------------------------
   ; Check for Blue Color and if we don't find it, cast a mana pot
   ;--------------------------------------------------------------------
    $myColor = PixelSearch(150, 52, 150, 52, 0x112A8E, 99, 1, $hwnd)
    ;we get an error if the color was *not* found
    If @error Then
     ;F4 is the key for the mana pot
     _SendEx("{F3}");
    EndIf

How do I make this script use the window coordinates that I have set in here? No matter what I have tried it seems to keep using desktop coordinates. I used client coord mode to obtain the values I used in the script. The first 6 lines are outside the loop code, the following lines after my comment are within the loop code.

Kanta,

Welcome to the AutoIt forum.

See you soon with a legitimate question I hope.
