PixelGetColor(x,y) always returns 0

[grlscz]

Hi!

I'm trying to write a bot for a game using AutoIt. For that I need to know colors of pixels on screen. However, when I try to use PixelGetColor on the game's window, it always returns 0.

Also Au3Info shows only 0 for the colors on the game's window.

On the other hand, screen capturing programs can grab the contents of the window normally.

Is there a way to make PixelGetColor work?

thx

Is the game protetected by anything (gameguard/ntprotect)? (For a non-gamer I sure do know what those are ... I spend way too much time on here!!) If they are, you'll need to figure a hack for them before you'll be able to use anything in AutoIt to automate your play.

It is protected, but AutoIt do work. I made some "blind" scripts, and they work. But now I want to read the screen.

No, autoit "do" not work with pixel options if it is protected

You wrote "before you'll be able to use anything in AutoIt" - therefore my reply.

OK.

So you saying, that there is no way to make PixelGetColor work until gameguard be disabled somehow, did I understand you right?
