Newbie / Function nor returning value

[ktvegas]

Hi,

I'm trying to design a small script to monitor an online fighting game (technically, how many players were seated). Basically the function I wrote was supposed to check various pixel locations. If the location was a specific color, then I increment the variable by one. Once all pixel locations are checked, the sum should be the amount returned.

The problem..the sum is always 0 - even though I have confirmed that some of the pixel locations did indeed qualify and should have increased the variable by 1.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

Func Sitting()
    WinActivate($GameWindow);
    Local $Fighters = 16711680; Occupied seat is color red
    Local $CountF = 0; start at 0

;Station 1
    If (PixelGetColor(475, 72) = $Fighters) Then
        $CountF= $CountF+ 1;
    EndIf
;Station 2
    If (PixelGetColor(651, 127) = $Fighters) Then
        $CountF= $CountF+ 1;
    EndIf
;Station 3
    If (PixelGetColor(693, 221) = $Fighters) Then
        $CountF= $CountF+ 1;
    EndIf
; Station 4
    If (PixelGetColor(646, 372) = $Fighters) Then
        $CountF= $CountF+ 1;
    EndIf
; Station 5
    If (PixelGetColor(458, 397) = $Fighters) Then
        $CountF= $CountF+ 1;
    EndIf
; Station 6
    If (PixelGetColor(316, 397) = $Fighters) Then
        $CountF= $CountF+ 1;
    EndIf

    
    return $CountF;
EndFunc

If you are SURE the coordinates are correct and are SURE the value of $Figures is correct, then I don't know the problem.

1) It *Might* help to add WinWaitActive:

WinActivate($GameWindow);

WinWaitActive($GameWindow)

2) It might help to debug by adding the following line inside each If-Then-EndIf block:

FileWriteLine("C:\debug.txt", PixelGetColor(475, 72))

Just open the file with notepad to check the results.

try this and see what happens...

Func Sitting()
   WinActivate($GameWindow);
   Local $Fighters = 16711680; Occupied seat is color red
   Local $CountF = 0; start at 0
  ;Station 1
   If PixelGetColor(475, 72) = $Fighters Then
      $CountF = $CountF + 1;
   EndIf
  ;Station 2
   If PixelGetColor(651, 127) = $Fighters Then
      $CountF = $CountF + 1;
   EndIf
  ;Station 3
   If PixelGetColor(693, 221) = $Fighters Then
      $CountF = $CountF + 1;
   EndIf
  ; Station 4
   If PixelGetColor(646, 372) = $Fighters Then
      $CountF = $CountF + 1;
   EndIf
  ; Station 5
   If PixelGetColor(458, 397) = $Fighters Then
      $CountF = $CountF + 1;
   EndIf
  ; Station 6
   If PixelGetColor(316, 397) = $Fighters Then
      $CountF = $CountF + 1;
   EndIf
   Return $CountF;
