Wait until pixel is found then start

Recommended Posts

I am trying to create a script that will wait until a pixel is found. After the pixel is found then it will start moving the mouse. And also why is my script exiting when i use #RequireAdmin?

My code
 

#RequireAdmin
AutoItSetOption("MouseCoordMode", 0)
AutoItSetOption("PixelCoordMode", 0)

HotKeySet("t" ,"set")

Global  $pix = PixelSearch(235,209,287,260,0xA53A3A,10)

Func set()
   Do
      $pix = PixelSearch(235,209,287,260,0xA53A3A,10)
   Until @error

   MouseClick('primary', $pix[0], $pix[1]
EndFunc

While 1
   Sleep(300)
WEnd

... but you are doing the PixelSearch() only one time at the start of the script so there seems to be a logic issue.

How did you determine this? or are you talking about that SciTE tells you it ended but it is still running?

The program keeps running but i can’t get any outputs from ConsoleWrite etc...

But shouldn't it do the MouseClick when thel Do loop have found the pixel? Pix is a global Variable.

That will only work when you run SciTE as Administrator since an lower level process can't read the STDOUT of an elevated level process.

Why? Are you starting  func Set() somewhere in your script?

Ok. So lets look at your loop checking for the pixel. 
You are looping until @error right? When will PixelSearch() return an @error of 1  and exit this loop?

I have been reading the help file that Autoit comes with and the failure will return one when the color is not found.
Is the loop exiting when it returning one?

Yes, the loop is ending when @error is not equal to 0.

Then the loop is ending when it has found the pixel, right? 
 

Func set()
   Run("D:\Program Files\SWT\server.exe")

   WinWait("server1")
   WinActivate("server1")
   WinMove("server1", "", 0, 0, 848, 704)

   Global  $pix = PixelSearch(235,209,287,260,0xA53A3A,10)

   Do
      $pix = PixelSearch(235,209,287,260,0xA53A3A,10)
   Until @error

   MouseClick('primary', $pix[0], $pix[1]

EndFunc

It looks like the program is exiting when it has found the color.

Come on ... think, it isn't that hard!! Of course the reverse of what you want is happening.
PixelSearch() sets @error to 1 when it is unsuccessful and your loop ends.

That hit me when i was working out, but i need to figure out some code that will work!
Will be back with my code if i can’t solve it!
Thanks again @Jos

This is really hard(Banging my head against the keyboard) but fun at the same time.

Hints has been given, actually the answer was given,  and you really need to be able to figure that one out by yourself.
