PixelSearch methods

[aggixx]

So recently I have been making a bot, and currently whenever it runs, it pretty much takes control of your computer. I've been trying to come up with ways to prevent that.

Clearly, the control functions would help so it doesn't keep taking over the mouse, but I would also like it to be able to run even when the window isn't visible (it uses pixelsearch/checksum/getcolor). The goal here is to make it so that the user can use their computer normally while the bot is running.

Is there any possible way to do this? I understand that the window has to be visible, but is there any way to 'bend' the rules? I've tried to put the window off the edge of the screen, but it seems like it doesn't detect the pixels correctly then (no big surprise). Has this been discussed before, and if so, is it possible?
