How can I make my script wait for a color to appear?

[Dgameman1]

I want my script to wait until a color appears before doing anything else using pixelsearch?

Never worked with PixelSearch before, but I think something like this would probably do it:

Do
PixelSearch(blah blah blah)
Until Pixelsearch(blah blah blah) NOT @error

Works perfectly thank you. Now, is it possible to make it until for the color to appear FOR a certain amount of time, and if it doesn't appear within that amount of them, then it just continues through the thread instead of endlessly waiting?

Add a timer:

$ExitTime = 5000 ;In Miliseconds, 5 seconds
$Time = TimerInit ()
Do
     PixelSearch(blah, blah, blah)
Until PixelSearch(blah, blah, blah) Not @Error Or TimerDiff($Timer) >= $ExitTime

this should work

$start = timerinit()
Do
PixelSearch(blah blah blah)
$diff = timerdiff ($start)
Until Pixelsearch(blah blah blah) NOT @error OR $diff > 10000 ;(10 seconds or 10,000 miliseconds, change this number for delay.

I have a problem

This is my code

$start = timerinit()
Do
   $coord=PixelSearch ( 157, 98, 225, 146, 0x545453 , 0 , 1, ""  )
   $diff = timerdiff ($start)
  Until not @error  OR $diff > 10000
  MouseMove ( $coord[0], $coord[1] )
    msgbox(32,"gtfds","gfds")

And it just ends about a second after I run it. What's the problem?

Do
    $coord = PixelSearch(157, 98, 225, 146, 0x545453, 0, 1, "")
    $diff = TimerDiff($start)
Until Not @error Or $diff > 10000

I am not sure about this... @error can be setted by the TimerDiff function so is useless, in this case you should use this

Do
    $coord = PixelSearch(157, 98, 225, 146, 0x545453, 0, 1, "")
    $diff = TimerDiff($start)
Until IsArray($coord) Or $diff > 10000

Then learn. The code I posted is from an operational program that I use at least once a week. It works exactly as advertised and does exactly what you're asking for. We're not here to write the bot* you want for you. We're not here to spoon feed you code. You can take what I posted apart line by line and learn what's going on, how the programming logic works, and cross reference it with the help file, or you can sit there and twiddle your thumbs and go nowhere.

*Because that's what 99% of the pixelsearch questions boil down to. Game automation.

Sorry about that, I didn't exactly look at it before, I kinda looked at it and said to myself womfg too much code.

But now that I look at it, I just used the help file for stuff I didn't know. and it actually does exactly what I want it to do lol

THanks =P
