picture recognition

[Valkyrie]

Dear readers,

I was wondering this:

I'm playing a game, when you press "M" a world map opens.

Now I want to be able to let AutoIT click somewhere on the map where I want.

The map has names on it, is it possible for AutoIT to recognise a name and click

on it or something?

This is possible, though I think it may be alot more work than you know. You could use "PixelChecksum" to look for a specific area, but it is not very reliable.

a few people have done some work on this, namely in this thread (there is probably others, but i happened know that one)

Otherwise, someone has done a find picture in picture udf... I have never used it, so it may not be what you want.
