calling coordinates as a variable

[t0ddie]

im trying to create a loop to eliminate excess code.

i want to do this

$1 = "188,264"

$test = pixelgetcolor ($1)

but i get an error

please tell me whats wrong here, thanks

pixelgetcolor will not work with a string. You saved the number 188,264 as a string. Try it without the quotes.

cause theres a comma in there

i would need to create 2 variables. so, i cant string it huh

[Guest Py7|-|[]/\/]

2 variables will have to do.

yep, but i was just thinking, i could make one variable, then stringtrim it and use it again.

seems like it might makes things less bulky. i got alot of coordinates here

When you string trim it wouldn't you still end up with a string? It will not accept any strings. So even if you do that, you would still be left with a string.

You could make your own function and call it:

Func _myPixelGetColor($coord)
  Local $p = StringSplit($coord, ",")
  Return PixelGetColor( Number($p[1]) , Number($p[2]) )
EndFunc

CyberSlug, just wondering, but is it possible to "cast" a String data type into an int/double/long/short type? If this is possible then you might be able to do something like that.

If you look at what he did above. He made the string into a number with the Number() command.

t0ddie,

it seems you need to read up on arrays

$pq[1][0]=188 ; first point x

$pq[1][1]=264 ; first point y

Return PixelGetColor( $pq[1][0] ,$pq[1][1] )

if it is a lot of points create a text file of points and load up the array at the beggining

of your script

also if your points have a constant increment you could use a for...next loop
