Having a small problem with Imagesearch

[MahM]

Hello everyone

This is my first post in Autoit and i recently started to use Autoit so i hope you will ignore my noobiness :/

I have a very simple use for imagesearch function. All i want is my script to recognize a specific image and stop the function automatically. below is my script but in there i am only testing the mousemove function when the image is recognized which however doesnt work yet so i came here to ask the professionals. I would really appreciate any help.

My Script and the errors i get with it when i run it

#include <ImageSearch.au3>
(error: cant open file <ImageSearch.au3>.)

HotKeySet('S', '_Start')

$X = 0
$Y = 0

Func _Start()
Do
 $Search = _ImageSearch('img2.bmp', 0, $X, $Y, 0)

(error: _imageSearch(): undefined function.)

Until $Search = 1
MouseMove($X, $Y,10)
EndFunc

While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

 

I have included all of dll, imagesearch.au3, myscript.au3 and the img2.bmp into one folder inside desktop  (Desktop > Imagesearch)

I am running windows 7 64bit so i downloaded 64 bit Autoit version. I just dont know what can be wrong with such a simple script as i have proofread it million times now. Do i need to place the folders somewhere else for them to work?

The answer is in the helpfile - as often

imagesearch.au3 must be placed in C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Include

Thanks guys, it did sort out the error but now i have a different issue. first of all i want to tell you where i have placed the folders.

Imagesearch,au3 is placed in C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Include

while the script,image.bmp and dll are included in C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Include\Imagesearch

What happens is when i run the script, it runs but then does nothing eventhough i make sure the image the script is looking for is on the desktop visible. I have attached the image and the imagesearch.au3 so if anyone can see a mistake in them then please let me know. I took the snorlax2 image from browser and printscreening and cropping in paint so i am not too sure if imagesearch would still search for such images. Please can anyone give advice on what kind of images to use or if pixelsearch is better for me to use and etc?

Really appreicate all the help.

snorlax2.bmp.bmp

imagesearch4.au3

ImageSearchDLL.dll

ImageSearch.au3

btw the script has snorlax2.bmp as the image to look for. Also i wanted my script to click on the image when it spots it but at the moment when i run it, it does nothing so maybe it doesnt recognize the image. Thank you

MahM,

That image looks very much like part of a game - is that indeed the case?

Not really, the only think changing with <> or "" is the sequence it searches the different directories, but it should still find in in case it is located in the scriptdir.

Yes it is part of a game, is there something wrong?
