script bugged?

[JoanG]

Hi ,

I got a script im working on and I cant seem to get it to work the way I want it too A little help or a "point the right direction" would be nice 

here is the script 

HotKeySet("{Esc}", "ExitScript") ; terminates the script

$color = 0xFC16D4 ; can be anything

While 1
    $pixelSearch = PixelSearch(0, 0, 1365, 767, $color, 10)

    If IsArray($pixelSearch) Then
        MouseClick("primary", $pixelSearch[0], $pixelSearch[1], 1, 10)
        Sleep(100)
    Else
        MouseClick("secondary")
        Sleep(200)
    EndIf

WEnd

Func ExitScript()
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>ExitScript

I cant get this to work right,its supposed to click primary when pixel in visible and click secondary whenever its not available but it just randomly does the timing..

Welcome to AutoIt and the forum!

Can you please tell us which program you try to automate? Often there are easier and more reliable ways to do what you want to do.

I love making spirtes hehe here is a sample of my work

Um ... Someone made a graphics extraction program in Autoit a little while ago. 

Is that what you're looking for?

JoanG,

Well, I would certainly not say anything if by any chance you were to do such a thing...

oh okay well I found out the reason I cant get script to work right is that the pixel search isnt that accurate I saw Color 0x00FF96FF was not found in the logs hmmm

need to get around that one I guess hahaha

Blue_Drache I know.....

 

I'll get it to work somehow I guess.....

[Blue_Drache]

Take a look at pixelsearch again.  See the first optional parameter?  Try toying with the shade variation and see if it helps.  You may be having issues with image artifacts, especially if you're using .JPG

[JoanG]

I still cant open that link.... and wonder if anyone has ideas to help me out

[Melba23]

JoanG,

Can you access the "Chat" section at all? If not, then perhaps Jon has increased the necessary post count - try posting 3 times in quick succession here to get you up to 10. I will not moan, promise.

ok then hehe hope that post is the one ive been looking for

[JoanG]

I can make this so it only activates when graphics gale is open right? so when I alt tab it stops hehe

[JoanG]

hmmmm I need more research I guess hehe hope to get this done soon haha I miss my sprites 

[JoanG]

well thanks for pointing out that cool program but doesnt really fit for what I wanna do..

basic run down of the script im making is

I sprite the whole thing from scratch then I want to use this program to pinpoint the pixels I want so I can just change it automatically and if its done right click so ill know its done hehe basically its a color changer and shade fixer,now I was thinking it would be nice if it would only work if I got the tab/window open so when I alt+tab it stops..I know bout the magic want feature but its to complicated and takes to much time to adjust so this would make things much faster

well back to good ol drawing board...

[Blue_Drache]

GIMP has a wonderful scripting language that will do exactly what you're asking.

[JoanG]

err I dun like gimp not good for spriting hehe prefer graphics gale 

oh well guess im stuck on this for awhile...
