It could be so easy but im to newby - imagesearch with different pictures

[svenjatzu]

Hi team im on my way to write a little tool for my work but i stuck in here becuse im more or less new.

someone maybe can help me with it please?

 

Thise is my script up to now.
 

#include <ImageSearch.au3>

Local $left = 15
Local $top = 645
Local $right = 289
Local $bottom = 798
Local $tolerance = 150
Local $transparency = 0

$file = "\Desktop\imagesearch\cas.png"
sleep(5000)

while true
    dg_get_images()
    sleep(1000)
Wend

Func dg_get_images()
   $x1=0
   $y1=0

   do
      $result =  _ImageSearchArea($file, 1, $left, $top, $right, $bottom, $x1, $y1, $tolerance, $transparency)
   until $result = 1;

   if $result=1 Then
      SoundPlay(@WindowsDir & "\media\tada.wav", 1)
   EndIf
EndFunc

The point is now i got several pictures like cas.png, cis.png, cod,png etc...

First thing i wanna get working is that if cas.png or cis.png or cod.png is found the sound tada.wav should be played.

 

someone please be so cind and help me quickly with this?

can it work like this

expandcollapse popup

$file1 = "\Desktop\imagesearch\cos.png"
$file = "\Desktop\imagesearch\cas.png"
sleep(5000)

while true
    dg_get_images()
    sleep(1000)
Wend

Func dg_get_images()
   $x1=0
   $y1=0

   do
      $result =  _ImageSearchArea($file, 1, $left, $top, $right, $bottom, $x1, $y1, $tolerance, $transparency)
   until $result = 1;

   if $result=1 Then
      SoundPlay(@WindowsDir & "\media\tada.wav", 1)
   EndIf
EndFunc

or

Func dg_get_images()
   $x1=0
   $y1=0

   do
      $result =  _ImageSearchArea($file1, 1, $left, $top, $right, $bottom, $x1, $y1, $tolerance, $transparency)
   until $result = 1;

   if $result=1 Then
      SoundPlay(@WindowsDir & "\media\tada.wav", 1)
   EndIf
EndFunc

then

playsound?

This won't work as you can't have two functions with the same name.
What do you ant to do when an images gets found at the end? Now you just play a sound.

Depending on your goal we might suggest a more reliable way to solve your problem.

hi water,

im building a tool for my work where i can search for pictures with.

i think imagesearch is the beast way to do it due to we work alot of with java and i dont think its possible to read out numbers out of java with autoit?

yas thats right it plays a sound thats all it should do. its about when special numbers appear i need to act but i cant stare at the monitor all the day.

so what i try to create is a tool that alarms me when eg numbers around 1-120, 120-240, and 250-360 appear 2 times reapeating  sending sound tada and on 3 times repeat it should play another warning sound.

[water]

These numbers appear in a ascending order? Means you have to wait until 1-120 appears. When found wait for 120-240. When found wait for 250-360.
Or can they all appear in any order?

When a picture gets found how long does it stay on the screen (and then disappears) so you can tell it was found 2 or 3 times?

[svenjatzu]

they can apprear in any order

thats why i need a warning system that tells me when a block of numbers appears twice or three times

[water]

#include <ImageSearch.au3>

Local $iLeft = 15, $iTop = 645, $iRight = 289, $iBottom = 798, $iTolerance = 150, $iTransparency = 0, $x1 = 0, $y1 = 0
Local $aImages[][] = [["\Desktop\imagesearch\cas.png", 0], ["\Desktop\imagesearch\cos.png", 0]]
While True
    For $i = 0 To UBound($aImages, 1) - 1
        If _ImageSearchArea($aImages[$i][0], 1, $iLeft, $iTop, $iRight, $iBottom, $x1, $y1, $iTolerance, $iTransparency) Then $aImages[$i][0] = $aImages[$i][0] + 1
        If $aImages[$i][0] = 2 Then SoundPlay(@WindowsDir & "\media\tada.wav", 1)
        If $aImages[$i][0] = 3 Then 
            SoundPlay(@WindowsDir & "\media\othersound.wav", 1)
            $aImages[$i][0] = 0
        EndIf
    Next
WEnd

The count for each images is reset as soon as the image got found 3 times.

i gonna try this, thanks : )

 

[svenjatzu]

so then theres another question,

how can i include several numbers, eg the range of  250-360 is saved in 12 numbers, 250 260 270 280 etc,

i think its this part

Local $aImages[][] = [["\Desktop\imagesearch\cas.png", 0], ["\Desktop\imagesearch\cos.png", 0]]

where i can add the numbers 250 - 360 like this

Local $aImages[][] = [["\Desktop\imagesearch\250.png", 0], ["\Desktop\imagesearch\260.png", 0], ["\Desktop\imagesearch\270.png", 0], ["\Desktop\imagesearch\280.png", 0], ["\Desktop\imagesearch\290.png", 0], ["\Desktop\imagesearch\300.png", 0], ["\Desktop\imagesearch\310.png", 0], ["\Desktop\imagesearch\320.png", 0], ["\Desktop\imagesearch\330.png", 0], ["\Desktop\imagesearch\340.png", 0], ["\Desktop\imagesearch\350.png", 0], ["\Desktop\imagesearch\360.png", 0]]

?

and next question then is, if i dont want to make 3 .exe running at same time i think i need to do it like this

#include <ImageSearch.au3>

Local $iLeft = 15, $iTop = 645, $iRight = 289, $iBottom = 798, $iTolerance = 150, $iTransparency = 0, $x1 = 0, $y1 = 0
Local $aImages[][] = [["\Desktop\imagesearch\cas.png", 0], ["\Desktop\imagesearch\cos.png", 0]]
Local $bImages[][] = [["\Desktop\imagesearch\cas.png", 0], ["\Desktop\imagesearch\cos.png", 0]]
Local $cImages[][] = [["\Desktop\imagesearch\cas.png", 0], ["\Desktop\imagesearch\cos.png", 0]]
While True
    For $i = 0 To UBound($aImages, 1) - 1
        If _ImageSearchArea($aImages[$i][0], 1, $iLeft, $iTop, $iRight, $iBottom, $x1, $y1, $iTolerance, $iTransparency) Then $aImages[$i][0] = $aImages[$i][0] + 1
        If $aImages[$i][0] = 2 Then SundPlay(@WindowsDir & "\media\tada.wav", 1)
        If $aImages[$i][0] = 3 Then 
            SoundPlay(@WindowsDir & "\media\othersound.wav", 1)
            $aImages[$i][0] = 0
        EndIf
        For $i = 0 To UBound($bImages, 1) - 1
        If _ImageSearchArea($bImages[$i][0], 1, $iLeft, $iTop, $iRight, $iBottom, $x1, $y1, $iTolerance, $iTransparency) Then $aImages[$i][0] = $bImages[$i][0] + 1
        If $bImages[$i][0] = 2 Then SundPlay(@WindowsDir & "\media\tada.wav", 1)
        If $bImages[$i][0] = 3 Then 
            SoundPlay(@WindowsDir & "\media\othersound.wav", 1)
            baImages[$i][0] = 0
        EndIf
            For $i = 0 To UBound($cImages, 1) - 1
        If _ImageSearchArea($cImages[$i][0], 1, $iLeft, $iTop, $iRight, $iBottom, $x1, $y1, $iTolerance, $iTransparency) Then $cImages[$i][0] = $cImages[$i][0] + 1
        If $cImages[$i][0] = 2 Then SundPlay(@WindowsDir & "\media\tada.wav", 1)
        If $cImages[$i][0] = 3 Then 
            SoundPlay(@WindowsDir & "\media\othersound.wav", 1)
            $cImages[$i][0] = 0
        EndIf
    Next
WEnd

 

i guess this could work?

Perfect solution as you describe it.

Why do you need to run the imagesearch 3 times looging for the same images?

[svenjatzu]

thats the point im not so reql experienced in coding so my first thougt was so i can run 3 exes with your code for the 3 different ranges of numbers.

now the thing is the imagesearch is somehow slow, is it possible to speed it up a bit?

[svenjatzu]

hm now i again got this error

 

"C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Include\ImageSearch.au3" (52) : ==> Subscript used on non-accessible variable.:
if $result[0]="0" then return 0
if $result^ ERROR

this solved by replacing path with @desktopdir

hmm this doesnt work for me, i open the picture with what my former code worked closed it again and reopened it again many times, waiting in between for a minute but it doesnt run the sound so i changed it to msgbox but also no msg is popping up.

what do i do wrong? maybe its a prob with the path @desktopdir\imagesearch\cas.png?

[water]

I know nothing about the _ImageSearch UDF but I suggest to check the return values of the function. This tells oyu what goes wrong.
