PixelCheckSum find

[BuzzBuzzYolk]

Ok here's what I'm trying to make: a bot that clicks on specific money-making structures in an online game and collects the money for me, something that would otherwise take me about 20 minutes. It isn't cheating btw.

So anyway, I already know how record and find pixel checksums (thanks to ofLight) and now I just have one problem: The script would only be able to target the top-left structure since in scans from left to right and up to down. How do I get it to progress and not target the same place more than once?

Thanks a lot.

If the script works but only scans one area based on the coords, and you want it scan multiple areas.... sounds like you just need to have the script loop through those multiple coords. It that's not what you want please clarify.

Ah, I get it. I didn't think you could do that. One last thing- how can I get it to work for flash games because right now it doesn't?

I'm not a gamer but from reading the forum there are some games (don't know the type: java, flash, etc) that block pixel scans. If you post your code and indicate where the script stops working, we might be able to help you more.

I am currently rewriting my UDF to be more user friendly, but this is a rip from my LastChaos script.

As far as the java and flashgames, the problem is that your program is double buffering the display. The program probably used a ScreenBuffer1 and a ScreenBuffer2 and then displays from one buffer while rendering the next frame in the other buffer. Then it switches the buffers to display the one just rendered and starts work on the next frame in the other one. This is a standard technique from rendering displays and gives the illusion of seamless motion. This effectively doubles the program's framerate. Also, some programs use a blanking field where they erase the current image with black prior to displaying the next frame buffer. AutoIT does not seem to be able to work around this as it is currently implemented. However, if you truely want a workaround you can use the same method I outlined in the Gameguard Bypass Thread.

@ofLight - talk about a gold nugget! Thanks for the function and the low down!
