How to do pixelsearch with restrictions?

[nusaki]

Let’s say I want to do pixelsearch within coordinates 0, 0, 100, 100, but I would like to ignore pixels in area 10,10,20,20. Is it possible to achieve?

Hello nusaki,

There is simple step around using PixelGetColor(). However, it will lose the ability to use shade-variations for searching. If you need the shade-varietions. then try defining 4 seperate PixelSearch() controls searching 0,0,100,9 and 0,10,9,20 and 21,10,100,20 and 0,21,100,100.

However there is another more simple way if you need to find a specific pixel color using loops:

For $row = 0 To 100
   For $col = 0 To 100
      If $row >= 10 And $row <= 20 And $col >= 10 And $col <= 20 Then ContinueLoop
      $search = PixelGetColor( $row, $col )
      If $search = $color_to_find Then
         ;do something here
      EndIf
   Next
Next

Thank you Realm its exactly what i was looking for. Just one question is this just a fast as pixel search?

nusaki,

The speed might be a little slower, however it should not be enough to show a noticeable difference. My example works fine on my end. If it's not working on your end, then it's more than likely to do with the rest of the code in your script. I can't tell you whats wrong without seeing your code. It would be much easier to help you solve your problem if you would show your script. Don't forget to put your script in code tags [ autoit][ /autoi] (just delelte the spaces)
