Look for change

[Tomohashi]

Hey.

I've been messing with AutoIt for a while (mainly just making fun little test scripts). Recently, I've had the need to find a change in a group of pixels in a couple of codes, but all I could find was how to find a specific color.

Is there a way to search for movement, or a change in pixel color? If not, what would be the most efficient way of doing this?

Thanks in advance.

PixelCheckSum()

it wont tell you what changed it will just tell you that something did change

Yeah, I found that one as well.

I need a way to check where a change occurred, and make the mouse move to that position.

I can do most of that, it's only the check part that has me caught up.

well you could record all of the pixel colors in an area to an array and then check them in a loop to see which one changed. A better way would be to keep them in an array and then run a checksum. If something changes in the checksum use the array to see what changed. These methods will not work accurately for something rapidly changing.

Hello Tomohashi,

Could you elaborate on a couple things:

1) Is this region a control like a button, listview, etc?

2) Is this for a game, an application, or an internet page?

I only ask because we might be able to provide more robust methods to monitor these changes.

...or you may educate me in some methods I never thought of before.
