Using PixelGetColor in a loop, getting stuck!


Recommended Posts

Hi guys, new here! 

Never really programmed with this autoit before, so I tried using the help menu and some previous threads on the forum.

However I'm getting stuck, here's the basic code so far (It's not complete, because I need this part to work before I can continue on with the algorithm)

What I'm trying to do is make a loop to continually check the colors at the positions I declared as variables, then check the conditions in the if statements, once it activates one if or elseif statement i want it to completely restart at the top of the while loop. Sometimes it doesn't activate at all, or if it does example: black black color at the two positions as true the first time it works, but when it re-does the loop if it's black black = true again it just seems like it disables and doesn't re-activate the same condition previously. 

Here's the while loop code I have so far. 

WinActivate("Double")
Sleep(250)
;HotKeySet ("F6", "ExitProg")

;Func ExitProg()
    ;Exit 0


While 1
$initiate = PixelGetColor (765,167)
$initiate2 = PixelGetColor (474,165)
$prev = PixelGetColor (1388,292)
$prev2 = PixelGetColor (1341,290)
$white = 0xF5F5F5
$blk = 0x444444
$red = 0xC9302C
$green = 0x449D44

  If (($prev == $prev2 == $blk) And ($initiate == $white)) Then
    MouseClick("left", 510, 403)
    Sleep(250)
    MouseClick("left", 646,402)
    Sleep(250)
    MouseClick("left", 1649,537)
    Sleep(15000)
  ElseIf (($prev == $prev2 == $red) And ($initiate == $white)) Then
    MouseClick("left", 510, 403)
    Sleep(250)
    MouseClick("left", 646,402)
    Sleep(250)
    MouseClick("left", 699,535)
    Sleep(15000)
   Elseif (($prev == $red) And ($prev2 == $blk) And ($initiate == $white)) Then
    MouseClick("left", 510, 403)
    Sleep(250)
    MouseClick("left", 646,402)
    Sleep(250)
    MouseClick("left", 699,535)
    Sleep(15000)
   Elseif (($prev == $blk) And ($prev2 == $red) And ($initiate == $white)) Then
    MouseClick("left", 510, 403)
    Sleep(250)
    MouseClick("left", 646,402)
    Sleep(250)
    MouseClick("left", 1649,537)
    Sleep(15000)
  Elseif (($initiate2 == $white)Or ($initiate == $red)) Then
    ;MouseMove (765,167)
    Sleep (250)
  EndIf
WEnd

Basically there's a progress bar that's red and turns to white, I'm trying to get it to continually check a certain position, when it's white I want it to activate the if statements or if it's red it would re-set and check down the loop. 

I'm not sure haha any help would be appreciated!

Im just curious, why comparing in case sensitive?

You're right, I could probably just use an equals sign instead of '==', but I was unsure about the hex color code haha so it was more just lack of experience. Haven't programmed for a couple years and the program I'm taking at university doesn't really require a lot of it.

When using == it converts both sides of the comparison to strings, and this isn't always what you're going to want to compare against. Especially if you're mixing Hex and Decimal numbers.

0xA = 10 would work, but 0xA == 10 wouldn't

Just something to remember.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

Cool thanks! I got one question, is there a way I can declare a mouseclick position into a variable ie: $click1 = MouseClick("left", 510, 403) , but not actually calling it at that point and time, then in the code I can replace all the mouse clicks with the say, $click1, just to clean it up or for easy editing instead of replacing them one by one. Cause I'm currently on line 120 and it's sorta getting out of hand lol. 

edit: maybe make it global variable or something?

You store the X and Y position, and then call it at will:

$clickX = 510
$clickY = 403
MouseClick("left", $clickX, $clickY)

Ahh I thought I could set the entire mouseclick function to one variable then call it whenever. I'll see what I can do thanks!!

I do have one more question if that's alright with you, maybe someone can point me to the right direction. I want to be able to highlight a certain textbox (integers only) copy it, then remember the copied value and multiply the integer by a certain value followed by pasting back into the highlighted section. Is this possible? ie: highlight in a textbox of value 1.0, multiply it by 2.85 and then paste it back into a textbox which would equal 5.7.

Would seem pretty useful for future ideas :P

You can, of sorts...

$_MouseClick1 = _MouseClick1

$_MouseClick1()

Func _MouseClick1()
    MouseClick("Primary", 0, 0)
EndFunc
