ImageSearch Until. (Operator Question)


Recommended Posts

Hey,

so after searching the Forums, Google, YouTube and Other Forums, I found ImageSearch!

AnyBody Not Shure what ImageSearch is, it is a pixelsearch that looks for a image file in the ImageSearch.au3 directory and then Looks for it on the Screen :)

Great Stuff !

Here is a Little Example where i Search for a .png

#include <ImageSearch.au3>
$x = 0
$y = 0
$res = _imagesearcharea("GreenYellow.png",1,340,150,940,512,$x,$y,100)
If $res = 1 Then
MouseMove($x,$y,100)
Else
MsgBox(0,"404","Not Found")
EndIf

Just a quick explain on what happens in the function _imagesearcharea:

_imagesearcharea("GreenYellow.png",1,340,150,940,512,$x,$y,100)

_imagesearcharea("image_name" , a*,b*,b*,b*,b*,c*,c*,d*)

a* = Chooses the Return Value for C*. 0 = top x,y Pixel 1 = Center of the Found image.

b* = Coordinates for the Search Window(Top,Left,Right,Bottom)

c* = The Return Variables (See a*)

d* = Variaton between Image and Search.

I'm not sure if the explanation was needed, i just like pretty Topics :D

My actual problem :

I want to make a do_until loop that keeps doing _Imagesearcharea until i drag the desktop icon in the circa Area.

I could do this by just specifying the Search window. But that would be way to Easy :)

Instead i want the Loop to Run until the icon is dragged "near" a predefined spot on one axis using one of the Variables from _Imagesearcharea.

So lets say i want to ImageSearch until i drag it near the middle of the Screen Seen from the X axis.

Until $x = 640

But that is not "Near" ! That is exact ! I want it to Do_Until it is "close" to 640, so it should also stop searching when it is +20 or -20 from 640.

I think i will do this with some advanced Operators ? Math has never been my Strength...

Please Help ;)

Hi, Schoening. How about using the Random operator? It allows you to generate a min and a max, so:

Until $x = Rand(625, 640, 1)

Edit: Scratch that, I reread your post after hitting enter. You want it to watch for any number within a certain range of 640...

Until ($x > 620) And ($x <660) Something like that might work, untested. Edited by BrewManNH

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.
