Multiple image searching solution to my issue/little guidance?

[exoticsquids]

Hello AutoIt Community!

 

This is my very first post!! I have been using Auto if for small things like moving mouse and clicking things. I am not a compete newbie with programming but I am getting into a little more advance stuff now and was wondering if/what is the best solution. I am wanting to make a small bot that basically Clicks on image1.png to start the program. Almost all the time there is a advertisement so I am going to snip every x button (image2 through however many there are) and want the bot to search for which x comes up first then once clicked it goes back to the app/image1 to where it repeats itself. So I am looking for a loop inside of a loop! Can you do things like that? or would it be best to maybe do if statement then else and if its not there just move to the next if till one fits the box?

 

p.s. I am about to head to work so might be a few hours before I respond back to the post.

 

Thanks for the help in advance!

What I have:

#include <ImageSearch2015.au3>

HotKeySet("1", ForceExit)

$x1=0
$y1=0

Func Loop()
    While 1
        WinActivate("MyprogramHere")

    $image1 = "C:\Users\gunth_000\Desktop\Scripts\pictures\image1.png"
    $result = _ImageSearch($image1, 1, $x1, $y1, 0, 0)
        If $result=1 Then
            Mouseclick("left",$x1,$y1,1,10)
        EndIf
    WEnd
EndFunc

 

What I was thinking:

#include <ImageSearch2015.au3>

HotKeySet("1", ForceExit)

$x1=0
$y1=0

$x2=0

$y2=0

Func Loop()
    While 1
    ;---Image1 is the app---
    $image1 = "C:\Users\gunth_000\Desktop\Scripts\pictures\image1.png"
    $result = _ImageSearch($image1, 1, $x1, $y1, 0, 0)
        If $result=1 Then
            Mouseclick("left",$x1,$y1,1,10)
        Else
    ;---Image2 is the x button (Close button on advertisement)-----
    $image2 = "C:\Users\gunth_000\Desktop\Scripts\pictures\image2.png"
    $result2 = _ImageSearch($image2, 1, $x2, $y2, 0, 0)
            $result2=1 Then
            MouseClick("left",$x1,$y1,1,10)
        Else..... ;-----so on from here------
        EndIf
    WEnd
EndFunc

I don't know if there is a edit button but the mouseclick in the idea porgramming the last one those $x1, $y1 is meant to be 2 not 1.

Welcome to AutoIt and the forum!

Which program do you try to automate? Most of the time there are more reliable ways to do what you want to do without using picturesearch.

Well I am using NoxPlayer. I am going to be clicking basically the play button (image1) the video/ad will pop up and I need to turn the ad off so that is why I am just snipping all the x buttons (image2-whatever). I have ran it with send("{ESC}") it works on almost all of them I run into some that I can't just click esc to get out. The other thing I am running into that way is timing, because of loading time its very small but builds up over time. The Esc would work with a little extra work for tweaking but I think I would still need a if statements for the ones that don't work with esc being pressed.

The app just lets you watch ad's the whole time. I am setting it up to run automatically basically. if that makes more sense xD I re-read the top.

Because people get paid for it.

I know but guess I wanted the OP to state that.

Apologies.

No worries ... just wanted to let you know I might be old but still have the brains going at a proper speed. (I am sure some particular individual will chime in now soon)

Never mind I figured it Thanks overall though. 

I am just doing Switch case statements. Thanks anyways. I learn very quick when it comes to programming. 

 

CLOSED Figured it out

@exoticsquids,  Actually I do mind and would like to hear what you are doing with this script...  guess the post kinda explained why.
