Pixelsearch: Find coordinates of occurrence.

[Knight]

Hi,

Currently I have a script that searches the screen for a specific color using PixelSearch(). Once the color is found a series of PixelGetColors() are used based off the result of the PixelSearch() to verify the correct pixel.

While 1
    $rFind_1 = PixelSearch(0, 0, @DesktopWidth, @DesktopHeight, 10857133)
    If @Error = 1 Then
        MsgBox(0, "Error", "Color not found!")
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
        
    $rFind_2 = PixelGetColor($rFind_1[0] + 115, $rFind_1[1] - 6)
    $rFind_3 = PixelGetColor($rFind_1[0] + 171, $rFind_1[1] + 266)
    
    If $rFind_2 = 11114078 And $rFind_3 = 8077617 Then
        MsgBox(0, "Success", "Success!")
        ExitLoop
    Else
        ContinueLoop
    EndIf
WEnd

It works flawlessly IF the pixelsearch is correct the first time. However if it gets a match and the 2 pixelgetcolors are wrong then when PixelSearch() searches again it finds the exact same location.

So my question is: How would I go about searching for the 2nd+ occurrence of the pixel until everything matches up?

Thanks,

$rOccurrence = 0

While 1
    $rFind_1 = PixelSearch($Window_Data[0], $Window_Data[1] + $rOccurrence, $Window_Data[2], $Window_Data[3] - $rOccurrence, 10857133, 3, 1)
    If @Error = 1 Then
        MsgBox(0, "Error", "Color not found!")
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
    
    $rFind_2 = PixelGetColor($rFind_1[0] + 115, $rFind_1[1] - 6)
    $rFind_3 = PixelGetColor($rFind_1[0] + 171, $rFind_1[1] + 266)
    
    If $rFind_2 = 11114078 And $rFind_3 = 8077617 Then
        MsgBox(0, "Success", "Success!")
        ExitLoop
    Else
        $rOccurrence = $rFind_1[1] + 1
        ContinueLoop
    EndIf
WEnd

I've tried to solve the problem by changing the pixelsearch to exclude the area above where the last pixelsearch succeeded but did not match my checks. This works SOMEWHAT. however, if there is a pixel that matches on the same line that is before the one I am looking for, it will fail..

I am still looking for more ideas that are fail-safe.
