I just completed my largest script to date - and it doesn't work. I have added a msgbox so I know the while loop is working. I am guessing that the Local variables are not refreshing during the loop. What I want is all the variables to constantly check for color changes at different coordinates and if a color changes to match the coordinates then the script will click on it.

Func WorkHorse()
    MouseClick("Left",51,84,1)
    MouseClick("Left",375,84,1)
    MouseClick("Left",706,88,1)
    While 1
        Local $NV1 = PixelGetColor(38,351)
        Local $NV2 = PixelGetColor(372,351)
        Local $NV3 = PixelGetColor(698,351)
        Local $B511 = PixelGetColor(261,403)
        Local $B512 = PixelGetColor(261,435)
        Local $B513 = PixelGetColor(261,467)
        Local $B521 = PixelGetColor(591,403)
        Local $B522 = PixelGetColor(591,435)
        Local $B523 = PixelGetColor(591,467)
        Local $B531 = PixelGetColor(916,403)
        Local $B532 = PixelGetColor(916,435)
        Local $B533 = PixelGetColor(916,467)
        Local $WV1 = PixelGetColor(32,192)
        Local $WV2 = PixelGetColor(412,192)
        Local $WV3 = PixelGetColor(743,192)
        Local $WX1 = PixelGetColor(311,47)
        Local $WX2 = PixelGetColor(627,62)
        Local $DB1 = PixelGetColor(30,74)
        Local $DB2 = PixelGetColor(354,74)
        Local $DB3 = PixelGetColor(681,74)
        Local $EP1 = PixelGetColor(216,314)

;It doesn't do any of the commands below this line but if I put a msgbox here it works.

            If  $NV1 == 4821505 Then
                MouseClick("Left",38,351,1)
                Sleep(100)
            ElseIf $NV2 == 4821505 Then
                MouseCLick("Left",372,351,1)
                Sleep(100)
            ElseIf $NV3 == 4821505 Then
                MouseCLick("Left",698,351,1)
                Sleep(100)
            ElseIf $B511 == 28159 Then
                MouseClick("Left",261,403,1)
                Sleep(100)
            ElseIf $B512 == 28159 Then
                MouseClick("Left",261,435,1)
                Sleep(100)
            ElseIf    $B513 == 28159 Then
                MouseClick("Left",261,467,1)
                Sleep(100)
            ElseIf    $B521 == 28159 Then
                MouseClick("Left",261,403,1)
                Sleep(100)
            ElseIf    $B522 == 28159 Then
                MouseClick("Left",261,435,1)
                Sleep(100)
            ElseIf    $B523 ==  28159 Then
                MouseClick("Left",261,467,1)
                Sleep(100)
            ElseIf    $B531 == 28159 Then
                MouseClick("Left",261,403,1)
                Sleep(100)
            ElseIf    $B532 == 28159 Then
                MouseClick("Left",261,435,1)
                Sleep(100)
            ElseIf    $B533 == 28159 Then
                MouseClick("Left",261,467,1)
                Sleep(100)
            ElseIf    $WV1 ==  14398976 Then
                MouseClick("Left",32,187,1)
                Sleep(100)
            ElseIf    $WV2 == 14398976 Then
                MouseClick("Left",412,192,1)
                Sleep(100)
            ElseIf    $WV3 == 28159 Then
                MouseClick("Left",743,192,1)
                Sleep(100)
            ElseIf    $WX1 == 16777215 Then
                MouseClick("Left",311,47,1)
                Sleep(100)
            ElseIf    $WX2 == 16777215 Then
                MouseClick("Left",627,62,1)
                Sleep(100)
            ElseIf    $DB1 == 2387455 Then
                MouseClick("Left",30,74,1)
                Sleep(100)
            ElseIf    $DB2 == 2387455 Then
                MouseClick("Left",354,74,1)
                Sleep(100)
            ElseIf    $DB3 == 2387455 Then
                MouseClick("Left",681,74,1)
                Sleep(100)
            EndIf
WEnd
EndFunc

I'm sure it's a logic issue of some sort. Each local variable corresponds to a specific click event. I thought this was a good idea. Any suggestions?

Do you know for a fact that the top part is working... is any of them finding the color..

why not put something like this to see..

        Local $NV1 = PixelGetColor(38,351)
consolewrite($NV1)
        Local $NV2 = PixelGetColor(372,351)
consolewrite($NV2)
        Local $NV3 = PixelGetColor(698,351)
consolewrite($NV3)

would only take a few seconds to cut and paste this in.. to make sure some colors are showing up....
or even just add $NV3 == 4821505 as this would make one of the top items valid.. so that forces the top to work..
now with the forced variable does the bottom work.

MsgBox(0,"Results", $NV1 & @CRLF & $NV2 & @CRLF & $NV3 & @CRLF & $B511 & @CRLF & $B512 & @CRLF & $B513 & @CRLF & $B521 & @CRLF & $B522 & @CRLF & $B523 & @CRLF & $B531 & @CRLF & $B532 & @CRLF & $B533 & @CRLF & $WV1 & @CRLF & $WV2 & @CRLF & $WV3 & @CRLF & $WX1 & @CRLF & $WX2 & @CRLF & $DB1 & @CRLF & $DB2 & @CRLF & $DB3 & @CRLF & $EP1)

The above produces several different numbers. When I click OK some of the numbers change. If I click OK again some of the numbers change(The screen is changing which is changing the numbers) so I know its reading the numbers and even refreshing them as things change on the screen. Why wont autoit execute the mouseclick functions in the while loop?

I tried "=" instead of "==" and it still doesn't work. I think == is the right syntax for comparing a variable to a string.

PixelGetColor returns a integer value, you also compare it to an integer value. A string is enclosed in " signs.

You realy should look into loops and arrays, your script would be alot nicer, see the example below:

#include <array.au3>

Global Enum $eClolorCode, $eSearchX, $eSearchY
Local $arrSearch[0][3]

_ArrayAdd($arrSearch, "4821505|38|351")     ; Make a line like this for every pixel to search and click
_ArrayAdd($arrSearch, "4821505|372|351")

WorkHorse()
Func WorkHorse()
    MouseClick("Left",51,84,1)
    MouseClick("Left",375,84,1)
    MouseClick("Left",706,88,1)
    While 1
        For $idx=0 to UBound($arrSearch)-1
            IF PixelGetColor($arrSearch[$idx][$eSearchX], $arrSearch[$idx][$eSearchY]) = $arrSearch[$idx][$eClolorCode] Then                
                MouseClick("Left",$arrSearch[$idx][$eSearchX],$arrSearch[$idx][$eSearchY],1)
                Sleep(100)
            EndIf
        Next
    Sleep(10)
    WEnd
EndFunc

Arrays:

Pros:

1. Smaller footprint of code

Cons:

1. People that don't understand arrays wont be able to assist me as I develop my code so I will get no responses to my forum posts.

2. With the way I had the variables set before I could replace values on the fly and not take up more memory *if I'm reading the code correctly) with this array adding variables on the fly I don't think I can.

The above code with the data added still does nothing. After looking at the code it appears that the while loop doesn't allow the variables to update as the screen changes. My other one did but stopped at any attempt at clicking a mouse. You are using _Arrayadd, If I add an array to to overwrite an existing array will get a memory leak? The way I had it coded before worked for the variable assignment and it didn't use a ton of memory. Am I thinking right about this?

Uhm, arrays dont take up more memory and of course you can change them "on the fly".

You say you could change the variables "on the fly" in your original code, but there you use constant values instead of variables, changing the value in your OP means changing the code itself. If you want to change an line in the array you dont add another line, you just change the values inside it.

 

Sorry had an error in the example, _ArrayAdd dont work that way.. Try this

#include <array.au3>

Global Enum $eClolorCode, $eSearchX, $eSearchY
Local $arrSearch[0][3]

_AddSearch($arrSearch, 4821505, 38, 351)    ; Make a line like this for every pixel to search and click
_AddSearch($arrSearch, 4821505, 372, 351)

Func _AddSearch(ByRef $arrSearch, $color, $x, $y)
    ReDim $arrSearch[UBound($arrSearch)+1][UBound($arrSearch, 2)]   ;Increase dimension
    $arrSearch[UBound($arrSearch)-1][$eClolorCode] = $color
    $arrSearch[UBound($arrSearch)-1][$eSearchX] = $x
    $arrSearch[UBound($arrSearch)-1][$eSearchY] = $y
EndFunc

WorkHorse()
Func WorkHorse()
    MouseClick("Left",51,84,1)
    MouseClick("Left",375,84,1)
    MouseClick("Left",706,88,1)
    While 1
        For $idx=0 to UBound($arrSearch)-1
            $tempColor = PixelGetColor($arrSearch[$idx][$eSearchX], $arrSearch[$idx][$eSearchY])
            ;ConsoleWrite("Searching for color: " & $arrSearch[$idx][$eClolorCode] & " found color: " & $tempColor & " at location " & $arrSearch[$idx][$eSearchX]& "," & $arrSearch[$idx][$eSearchY] & @crlf)
            IF $tempColor = $arrSearch[$idx][$eClolorCode] Then
                MouseClick("Left",$arrSearch[$idx][$eSearchX],$arrSearch[$idx][$eSearchY],1)
                Sleep(100)
            EndIf
        Next
        Sleep(10)
    WEnd
EndFunc

I am injecting this into a script with multiple functions. Can you explain why Enum $eClolorCode, $eSearchX, $eSearchY are set as global variables but directly under it the $arraysearch[0][3] is set as local in the global position?

The above modified code did not work. I went back to my original code without using an array and I started editing out some lines to see what would happen. It behaves the same way whether I separate the if statements or not. It appears that the script will perform a mouseclick when one of the coordinates finds that the color matches but it stops there. The variables keep updating but the program wont mouseclick any other locations. I am baffled.

I like to have enums as Global (because they will work also in other scripts you include), the array i would only use in this script, thats why i used Local.

I dont see why the example i posted wont work, my guess is the color is not an exact match. You can uncomment the Consolewrite inside the function to see what colors it finds and what its matching it against.

In your OP you have Elseif's meaning it will only execute the first click function that matches in that If / ElseIf.
