searching for more than 1 color

[=sinister=]

is there a way to search the screen with more than 1 pixel, but fast? the only thing I found was pixelsearch but thats only 1 color...

Try looking at the shade variation sinister. You posted this question yesterday on pixelsearch, I gave you the link... but you said it was a bit complicated.

It looked like Larry was just waiting on someone to turn that into C++ code to add it in, is what I gathered from the post.

If they are 2 totally different "specific" colors, you'll need to run 2 options of the PixelSearch.

Local $Pix1 = PixelSearch(0, 0, 100, 100, 0x000000, 0, 2); notice the last one, stepping 2 pixels to speed it up
Local $Pix2 = PixelSearch(0, 0, 100, 100, 0xFF0000, 0, 2)

If $Pix1 <> 1 Or $Pix2 <> 1 Then
;Do something
EndIf

I gave an example with stepping 2 pixels to speed up the current PixelSearch.

so if I had 3 pixels to search for, would I change the 2 to a 3?

The "2" is not a "pixel" to search for, it's how many pixels to skip while searching. You can make that any integer higher than 1, but will skip that many pixels.

As per my post, and the help file: You can do "Shade" vaiations where the "0" is, if the colors are close, and they don't have to be specific. If the colors have to be specific, then you must use "2" different pixelsearch() functions as my example gave you.

great, thanks, one more question, do you think the following code would work?

Local $Pix1 = PixelSearch(0, 0, 100, 100, 0x000000, 0, 2)
Local $Pix2 = PixelSearch(0, 0, 100, 100, 0xFF0000, 0, 2)
If $Pix1 <> 1 Or $Pix2 <> 1 Then
MouseClick('Right', $Pix1[0], $Pix1[1], 1, 0)
MouseClick('Right', $Pix2[0], $Pix2[1], 1, 0)
Sleep(2000)
EndIf

MouseClick('Right', $Pix2[0], $Pix2[1], 1, 0)
Sleep(2000)
EndIf

Probably not just like that... Try this:

Local $Pix1 = PixelSearch(0, 0, 100, 100, 0x000000, 0, 2)
Local $Pix2 = PixelSearch(0, 0, 100, 100, 0xFF0000, 0, 2)
If $Pix1 <> 1 Or $Pix2 <> 1 Then
    If IsArray($Pix1) Then MouseClick('Right', $Pix1[0], $Pix1[1], 1, 0)
    If IsArray($Pix2) Then MouseClick('Right', $Pix2[0], $Pix2[1], 1, 0)
Sleep(2000)
EndIf

Otherwise, it looks like it would throw you an error is one of them was not found or "@error"
