[HowTo]ImageSearch Reverse? (bottom>Top, Right> Left)

[Maffiagang]

Hey guys,

I've been googeling and looking through the forum for a few hours now but to no solution to my question.

How would i go about forcing ImageSearch to search in the revers of its normal searching pattern?

Now it goes Top > Bottom and Left > Right.

I need it to go Bottom > Top and Right > Left

Thanks in advance,

So i tried the way you suggested, I made another func for a reverse search, with the coords switched.

    Next

EndFunc   ;==>_ImageSearch_Area_Reverse

However, i think i need to change some other values too, i think i have to switch around these values somehow:

If $P_x1 > $P_x2 Then ; change position to default top-left and botton-right
        $_TempVar = $P_x1
        $P_x1 = $P_x2
        $P_x2 = $_TempVar
    EndIf
    If $P_y1 > $P_y2 Then
        $_TempVar = $P_y1
        $P_y1 = $P_y2
        $P_y2 = $_TempVar
    EndIf

I just have no idea where to start because i dont fully understand what is going on.

 

Edit: 

I've just been thinking... That uf statement changes position to default (normal search) if i were to use ; to mark out those 2 ifs, wouldnt it in fact work?

 

Atm not able to test atm, thats why i ask instead of try...
