Any idea why this occurs?

[ddr4lyfe]

I'm trying to make an auto-clicker for a game, and it uses a combination of PixelGetColor and MouseGetPos. I basically want it to do something when a color at a certain point is a certain color. The only problem I'm having is that although it's picking the right pixel coordinate, it's picking up a color from a different coordinate. Everything is coded right, but why would something like this happen? Could it have something to do with the game having it's own custom cursor that masks the Windows cursor once the Windows cursor enters the game window? Just need some input on this so I could see if I could get it working correctly.

Hmm...I made an entire debug program for it and now it seems to work fine....I have no idea what's going on..

Some more detail and there might be somebody who can help you. (e.g. What game? Where's your code?)

I've decided to completely recode my auto-clicker, I'll post back with my redone code if it still doesn't work.

Ok, I've redone the program, but I'm stuck still. Now no matter what I seem to do, I always run into the branch in the _FeedHom function that occurs if $BarColor <> $BarRed. Maybe someone can help out with what's going on.

I decided to look at it some more, but I still can't seem to get it to register that the hunger bar is red... Any ideas?
