simple script help

[Bigred2k]

I need some help writing a very simple script that searches a area of the screen for a certain color and if found sends a keypress.

The script should work like so:

When numpad 7 is pressed, autoit should send a keypress of "W", search the pixel range of 560,620(top left pixel)/580,645(bottom right pixel), wait till it finds color#1, send 2nd "W" keypress

When numpad 8 is pressed, autoit should send a keypress of "W", search the pixel range of 560,620(top left pixel)/580,645(bottom right pixel), wait till it finds color#2, send 2nd "W" keypress

When numpad 8 is pressed, autoit should send a keypress of "W", search the pixel range of 560,620(top left pixel)/580,645(bottom right pixel), wait till it finds color#3, send 2nd "W" keypress

if someone doesn't mind programming this for me I would REALLY appreciate it.

Thanks!

and what are your efforts on this?

Some useful functions to check out in the help files would be

PixelGetColor

PixelSearch

HotKeySet

Send

Hope this helps. I'm sure if you provided an attempt anyone would be willing to help modify it.

Not much. I'm watching basic video tutorials on youtube at the moment =P

[Bigred2k]

Thanks CD. I'll start there.

OK. Here's what I got:

Im not sure how to tie the individual pixel searches in with the 7,8,9 keypresses.

the first that i see is that you don`t know how to use HotKeySet() see the help file and the examples for this function...

The variables like $blue_pixel = 0x0033FF must be $blue_pixel = "0x0033FF" because that gives you an error...

My advice.. start for one thing at the time, and try to solve that, for example the fist thing you need to do is know how to use the hotkeyset, then do an example of this function and learn how to use it, until that don`t go for another function because you will get messy and is not pleaseant help to messy people with messy scripts.

This is the first script ive written so thanks for being patient. you can see the latest version here:http://pastebin.com/8iyTHPQ3

How do I make it so that it loops over and over waiting for the next hotkey press?

[somdcomputerguy]

Put a While...WEnd loop, with a small Sleep (parameter of 10 is fine), between the last HotKeySet and the first function (Func). This will keep the script running.

You can paste your script directly into the forum using

[/autoit] tags.. just paste your code between.
You dont need to add the brackets in every hotkeyset function or in every send function, this is reserved for special characters, read the help file about the send function and the apendix theres info about this feature. But if you want to use the numpad as hotkey you have to use it but in the correct way {NUMPAD0} - {NUMPAD9} Numpad digits 
you need a loop to containing the script
something like this
[autoit]while true
   sleep(50)
Wend

You will see many loops in the autoit examples

Your PixelSearch function have syntaxis errors... [5] is not a valid value for that parameter, only the integer alone is enough.

there a lot of corrections but are going in the right direction... the experience gives you the knowldege

Another free tip, if you are using SciTe look into the tools menu, something called tidy, this will adjust the format and the spacing of the text inside the script.

EDIT: some syntax examples

HotKeySet("{NUMPAD7}", "ToggleBlue")

$coord = PixelSearch(560, 620, 580, 645, $blue_pixel,5)

Send("w")
