What's wrong with my script, I doubled checked every thing

[spheresus]

I'm a total nub here so all I do is copy and paste code and learn by trial and error. I created a simple macro that searches for a pixel color and presses the 9 key if not found, if the color is found it does nothing. I doubled checked every thing including the proper coord for pixelsearch rectangle area and the decimal number of the pixel color I want to check for.

What I did was I took a screen shot (jpeg) of the game and with my picture editor blew up jpeg to max to get pixel color of a specific pixel. I used autoit program to get the decimal number of the pixel. Now in theory my macro should look for and find that pixel if it's there if it's not it will press 9 which in turn will make my character perform a move which will activate a attack and make the icon with the pixel color stay up for several seconds. My macro always presses 9 with or with out the pixel color in icon. Here is the code, I hope you guys can help me out.

Global $Paused

HotKeySet("{PAUSE}", "TogglePause")

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")

HotKeySet("+a", "ShowMessage") ;Shift-a

While 1

Sleep(100)

WEnd

Func TogglePause()

$Paused = NOT $Paused

While $Paused

sleep(100)

ToolTip('Script is "Paused"',0,0)

WEnd

ToolTip("")

EndFunc

Func Terminate()

Exit 0

EndFunc

Func ShowMessage()

PixelSearch (253, 68, 380, 94, 8716291)

If @error Then

Send("9")

Else

EndIf

EndFunc

hi as for the script is should be OK but I think u really should check the coords and the color u r using

u can use the [ WinGetPos ] for getting the coords [ x , y ] - (check help file)

and I recommend this helpful tool by Valuater to get ur color from Here

hope this was helpful

I solved the problem and it had nothing wrong to do with the code. After more trial testing I found out the culprit is that the screen capture didn't capture the exact same pixel colors as the actual game when it's running. It must have something to do with the jpeg format the game captures screenshots with. I need to capture screen shots with 100% accurate color can the bitmap format do it and if so any one know a good screen capture program?

Do you mind not posting a ridiculous title such as this one. Gives us information on the problem, something like, "Screen capture problem" or "Reading co-ords..." etc etc

Yes JamesB,

every who askes a question needs help.. so no need to ask for help. Just ask the question

[James]

Yes, but I was on about the title of it.
