Imagesearch - Keep searching until picture becomes "visible"

[SBrix]

As the title says.

I have been having problems with my script. I want it to keep looking for an image, and if it can't find it then it should wait 5 seconds and try to look for it again.

I am beginner so go easy on me.

My script so far:

#include <imagesearch.au3>

Hotkeyset("s", 'start')
Hotkeyset("x", 'stop')

$x = 0
$y = 0

Func start()
   $search = _imagesearch('1pixel.bmp', 0, $x, $y, 0)
   If $Search = 1 Then
      Mousemove($x, $y,10)
   EndIf
EndFunc

While 1
sleep(5000)
MouseClick("left")
ExitLoop
WEnd

While 1
      $search = _imagesearch('finish.bmp', 0, $x, $y, 0)
   If $Search = 1 Then
      Mousemove($x, $y,10)
      ExitLoop
   EndIf
   If $Search = 0 Then
      Sleep(5000)
   EndIf
WEnd

func stop()
   Exit
EndFunc

What exactly are your problems?

Be as verbose as you like.

Imagine you opning a video using Windows Media Player. You go into fullscreen and watch the video. When the video is done it automatically go out of fullscreen. Now what I want is for the script to exit Windows Media Player as soon as the video ends. So basically a script that keep searching for the "red x" and when the "red x" becomes visible then moves to that position and click on it.

And perhaps shutdown the computer after doing so.

I just found AutoIT and became interested in it, so I am trying to create small, but useful scripts. I hope I explained it so you can understand.

I understand the question, but you have not explained the problem, at a glance your code looks like it should work.

Whoops. It seems to be working now. I believe it was a corrupted .bmp file. Sorry for wasting your time  .

Question. If "$Search" returns with 0, how can I make it go back to the start of the func?

[JohnOne]

It already does.

While 1
      $search = _imagesearch('finish.bmp', 0, $x, $y, 0)
   If $Search = 1 Then
      Mousemove($x, $y,10)
      ExitLoop
   EndIf
   If $Search = 0 Then
      Sleep(5000)
   EndIf
WEnd

Thanks. I figured it out and it works now

You can use Window handle to close the process instead of clicking on X button to be closed.

It is much better, since as i see you do not use mousecoordmode in your script, so, if the window posicion is change somehow, it will click on worng posicion.

Edit:

Also better cause, if anything pop up on that area, it will get active and will hide your X button, so it will click on the stuff what was pop up.

BTW dont know if you are still watching this forum.
