find color - do action problems

[NutImNot]

Hi all,

I'm trying to create a program where it searches an area for a specific color, and then if it does so, it performs another action where it searches another area for another color and clicks it if found. Here is the code:

 

Func findColor()
   
   While 1
      $point = PixelSearch(2516, 135, 2532, 150, 0xF00B09)
      if IsArray($point) Then
        MouseClick("right", $point[0], $point[1])
         Sleep(500)
         $point2 = PixelSearch(2278, 300, 2514, 633, 0xA0315B)
            if IsArray($point2) Then
                MouseClick("left", $point2[0], $point2[1])
            EndIf
      EndIf
      Sleep(50)
   WEnd
EndFunc
 

 

Any help would be lovely

how come

Code seems fine. Although you have to realize PixelSearch is a bit slow and can't detect pixels drawn using certain methods. DirectX being an example I believe.

I've used pixel search on the same application before without any problems. This one it doesn't do anything, just runs until i quit the program.

Honestly the code is fine which means one or more of the following:

• PixelSearch is searching for the wrong color code
• PixelSearch is searching the wrong window
• PixelSearch is searching the wrong area
• PixelSearch is being called too often and throttling

I agree with you rcmaehl, I've used the exact code  in the past to do something similar just with different color values. I double checked the colors and the areas that they're searching but still nothing.

What app are you trying to automate? You want assistance or not? Not going to guess

Try adding some tolerance and see what happens.

Which os version? Take screenshot and analyze it at pixel level with paint or other tools to see if there are shading variations which have not been there before. Maybe you have transparancy turned on.

@careca i upped the tolerance and it works great now, you're the best <3
