Q: How do I create a bot that searches for and clicks on a specific colored pixel

A: Though this is basic, it does work.

;---------------Warning!-------------------

;anti-hack protection such as GameGaurd or Warden. Neither It's author, or any support provided are

;You Have Been Warned.
;-------------Read The Above---------------
$Color = "0xFF0000" ;The Hexadecimal Value Of The Color To Seach For.
While 1; Initiate A never ending loop
    $Pos = PixelSearch(0+5, 0+5, @DesktopWidth-5, @DesktopHeight-5, $Color, 10, 1);Calls PixelSearch Function
    If IsArray($Pos) Then ;Validates whether or not the search Turned Up a result
        MouseClick("Left", $Pos[0], $Pos[1], 1, 0); Moves the Mouse To the Coordinates Of the Pixel and Left Clicks
    EndIf
WEnd

Hi,

I tried using this example:

#include <Misc.au3>
If _Singleton("MyScriptName", 1) Then
   ; We know the script is already running. Let the user know.
    MsgBox(0, "Script Name", "This script is already running. Using multiple copies of this script at the same breaks the [(UltimaCoder)] License!")
    Exit
Endif

In my script and the program exited immediately (i.e. not possible to have a second instance running because the first instance exits immediately).

I then had a look at the helpfile, and in the example it has:

#include <Misc.au3>
If _Singleton("MyScriptName", 1) = 0 Then
   ; We know the script is already running. Let the user know.
    MsgBox(0, "Script Name", "This script is already running. Using multiple copies of this script at the same breaks the [(UltimaCoder)] License!")
    Exit
Endif

Which did work for me.

You might want to run a test to confirm this. Apart from that I think this FAQ is a great idea and has some really useful tips.

Hi there, it's been quite a long time!

Hi,

I tried using this example:

(...)
If _Singleton("MyScriptName", 1) Then
(...)

In my script and the program exited immediately (i.e. not possible to have a second instance running because the first instance exits immediately).

I then had a look at the helpfile, and in the example it has:

(...)
If _Singleton("MyScriptName", 1) = 0 Then
(...)

Which did work for me.

You might want to run a test to confirm this.

(...)

Actually it seems that the function returns '0' when there IS another instance of the script, which would cause, in the first example, an 'If 0', that is, it skips the whole 'If'...

So I guess this should be corrected in the opening post.

Also let me suggest the following:

- What is being done now is creation of general FAQ topics within the Support Forum.

- What I suggest is creation of a new forum (like the Support one or linked by it) with FAQs or Troubleshooting topics for each and every category (Environment, File & Directory, Graphic and Sound and so on...). This would be particulary useful for the UDF ones... :whistle:

What do you think?

EDIT: trying to explain myself ;)

Q. Is there any training or other documentation available for AutoIt V3?

A. Several members of the forum have put together helpful documents as well as training tools. This information is far from complete, but most find it very helpful.

@All, I have been gone for a while, and am only now beginning to add the necessary changes.

@Paulie, I do not see a real need for the bot script (seems like it is not asked that often), but I have added the info from your second post.

@Larry, I have added your suggestion.

@vollyman, I intend to add your suggestion later.

Who else would I be?

Q. How Can I make my script start on startup?

A. put this at the top of your script:

If Not FileExists (@StartupDir&"\"&StringReplace(@ScriptName,".au3","")&".lnk") Then FileCreateShortcut (@ScriptFullPath, @StartupDir&"\"&StringReplace(@ScriptName,".au3","")&".lnk")

It's just one line, but after running your script once manually, it will always start on startup on the computer that it was run on.

The cake is a lie.www.theguy0000.com is currentlyUP images.theguy0000.com is currentlyUP all other *.theguy0000.com sites are DOWN

If you're going to post stuff, make sure it doesn't suck. First of all, that code makes the assumption that a non-compiled script is set to "Run" by default. On my system, the code would open SciTE since "Edit" is my default. Second, the code assumes the script is not compiled. You don't adjust the name if it's a compiled executable. Edited by Valik

@this-is-me

I split the post into 2 threads so the Larry remark can be true.

May I suggest You edit your awsome FAQ starting with the list of all Questions, so at a glance we can know which subjects are covered.

You can also put in front the Larry remark with the link to the discussion thread.

Nice Job ;)

Btw, I think it might be nice if we combined this FAQ with Jon's... it's a bit of a hassle and a little confusing to have two faq's stickied right next to eachother.

@This-is-me: not sure if you're super busy or what, but I'd certainly be willing to help in editing and adding faq entries! Not sure if that would be possible, but I thought I'd throw it out there.

This is more information on a question that is already in the list...

Question: Why am I not getting a response to my post?

Answer:

1. Are you attempting to hack, or are using stolen software? Did you say you were doing this in your post?

- Using stolen software, or hacking it so you can "Unlock" it, is just wrong. By doing this, you are basically saying you are perfectly willing to steal someone's hard work instead of either paying for it, or making your own. We have spent many hours, days, and in some cases years writing programs. And you want to steal it for you like being a thief. Shame on you. :)

Ha! I see a lot of responses to people who are creating hacks or enhancing stolen software!

The most common reason why people don't reply is because they don't know, or the answer is extremely obvious, like in the site tutorial, or you made a joke that wasn't funny.
