Would there be any way to make this faster?

[AzKay]

Okay, This is a script, for a game, where theres a ball, and you click it, and it stays up. The point is, to keep it off the ground as long as possible. Except, the response time is good, But, Just wondering if theres a way to give it a faster response?

#Include <Misc.au3>
Opt("MouseCoOrdMode", 0)
Opt("PixelCoOrdMode", 0)
HotKeySet("{F2}", "_Ball")

While 1
WEnd

Func _Ball()
    Do
    $Ball = PixelSearch(7, 200, 448, 353, 0x00CCFF, 25)
    If Not @Error Then
        MouseClick("Left", $Ball[0], $Ball[1], 1, 1)
    EndIf
    Until _IsPressed("72")
EndFunc

Search a smaller area?

[AzKay]

Func _Ball1()
    AdlibEnable ( "_Ball2", 1 )
    Do
    $Ball = PixelSearch(7, 200, 448, 253, 0x00CCFF, 25)
    If Not @Error Then
        MouseClick("Left", $Ball[0], $Ball[1], 1, 1)
    EndIf
    Until _IsPressed("72")
EndFunc
 
Func _Ball2()
    Do
    $Ball = PixelSearch(7, 254, 448, 353, 0x00CCFF, 25)
    If Not @Error Then
        MouseClick("Left", $Ball[0], $Ball[1], 1, 1)
    EndIf
    Until _IsPressed("72")
    AdlibDisable ( )
EndFunc

i don't know how well it works since I don't have the actual game to test it on

basically, it just splits the search area in half and does the two halves at the same time

You could use a While/WEnd loop instead of Do/Until ... seems to be a tad faster

Local $iCount1, $iCount2, $iTimer
Sleep(500)
$iTimer = TimerInit()
While TimerDiff($iTimer) / 1000 < 3
    $iCount1 += 1
WEnd
$iTimer = ''
Sleep(500)
$iTimer = TimerInit()
Do
    $iCount2 += 1
Until TimerDiff($iTimer) / 1000 > 2
MsgBox(64, 'Info', 'While loop counts = ' & $iCount1 & @CR & _
    'Do loop counts = ' & $iCount2)oÝ÷ Øey«-y²µë-×hzÁÛajÛ^²×hzÉ÷öÙh¢Jâm)äحغ(ÉbàèýIíY¢[yö¬µêÈv÷öÙ'£-j»bhrߺǦÊÇ¥}÷Ý«­¢+Ù1½°ÀÌØí¥

@Xenogis, I think Adlib* actually pauses the rest of the functions to perform it's function... I might be wrong, but that seems to be the case when I use it. So I would think that would actually be slower.

Dang, it does pause the script. I thought it didn't.

The adlib function should be kept simple as it is executed often and during this time the main script is paused
