Would this be Possible in AutoIt?

[Ginseng]

Would it be possible to track the bar below from 100% to 0% or from 0% to 100% and then execute a command upon bar = 0% or 100%?

If so how would i go about it?

Is the progress bar in some application that you didn't create?

Yes

[ChrisL]

Yes

I think your going to need to provide more information about that progress bar or the the answer is likely to be Yes or No or Probably

[Ginseng]

Actually nvm, i'm going to try another method. It seems the Script cant pick up this bar's color value when im in game-windowed mode, its pulling the co-ords from the desktop rather than the gaming client even though the gaming client is active when its running. I know quite a few people here arent willing to help make game bots which is why im trying my best to do it myself so no one else can use the script. Problem is i dont have the time to play the game as much as id like to so i'm trying to make a bot so i can get into the higher levels and participate in the Guilds vs Guilds area of the game, without a bot to help me level i doubt i'd get to the levels required for this part of game. I barely have time to sleep let alone play MMO's but i love playing them for PVP value.

Still if anyone is willing to help pm me, if not i understand, i'll just soldier on till i get a working bot script.

OK so it's a game, chances are you can't read any data from the progress control but you can check the co-ordinates of the progress bar to see what colour they are using PixelGetColor()

I don't know what values you are interested in but you could check 10 positions along the progress bar to know you have 10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100% or more even. Maybe find out what 10% range you are in then do some smaller pixelGetColour() operations to work out a more accurate measure. Maybe there is a better way this is just an idea.

Edit: Just re-read your post and you say you cant read the colour value while the game is running but maybe you can use the GDIPlus screen capture to grab the image and then interogate that capture

Its not that it cant read it, its just when i use the AutoIt Window Info tool its giving me the co-ords of the 1% - 0% of the HP Bar but when i check the color its different.

I suppose i'll try the GDIPlus screen capture and try that, yet another thing to learn

Thanks for the advice.

Funnily enough I was messing around with this code earlier most of it is from Randall. It only works on a BMP but if you were to screen capture the progress bar and save it as a BMP then you could load the values in to an array to find out what your progress bar was doing

$szPicFile = "bar1su7.bmp";-----> PUT THE NAME AND LOCATION OF THE BITMAP HERE

#include <GDIPlus.au3>
#include <array.au3>
 
$dll = _GDIPlus_Startup ()
$hImage = _GDIPlus_ImageLoadFromFile ($szPicFile)
$imgwidth = _GDIPlus_ImageGetWidth ($hImage)
$imgheight = _GDIPlus_ImageGetHeight ($hImage)
_GDIPlus_ShutDown ()


$Step = 1; this is the accuracy of the BMP read 1 reads every pixel 5 reads every 5th pixel
$nofpixels = ($imgwidth) * ($imgheight)

Thanks i'll give this a try.

Edit: Numers.. soo many numbers my brain hurts. I think im in over my head with this one.

It's the RGB colour values of each pixel so you could pick the middle row which is the middle of the progressbar, the other thing is this was converted from your PNG to a BMP which maybe giving false readings, you really need to do it with a straight capture

[Ginseng]

Crossing Fingers at the moment i just tried something, i played the game in full screen mode, took a screenshot of the game with monster bar at full and then another with monster bar empty and then tried the script below and it seems to be working.

The script attacks when i apply the screenshot of full hp as my desktop. When i change screenshots and use the one with the empty HP Bar the script cycles through. So its obviously picking up the color change in full screen mode, i'm going to try again now in windowed mode as my coding is different now to when i previously tried lets hope.
