ImageSearch of several Pictures

[moneypulation]

Hello,

I want to use the ImageSearch function in order to search 10-15 different 15x15 Pixel pictures. But the problem is that the pictures are from a GIF you could say. So I'm just looking for one picture of it. Using ImageSearch to find 1 picture in a gif, there is no problem. But when I do something like 10 If functions to find one of the 10 pictures, the script doesn't find them:

expandcollapse popup

While 1
      $IS = _ImageSearch("weissgelb.png",1,$outputx,$outputy,40)
      If $IS = 1 Then
         MouseClick("left",$outputx,$outputy,1)
         wartenaufglitzieinsammlung()
      EndIf
      $IS = _ImageSearch("gelb.png",1,$outputx,$outputy,40)
          If $IS = 1 Then
         MouseClick("left",$outputx,$outputy,1)
         wartenaufglitzieinsammlung()
         EndIf
      $IS = _ImageSearch("gruenblau.png",1,$outputx,$outputy,40)
          If $IS = 1 Then
         MouseClick("left",$outputx,$outputy,1)
         wartenaufglitzieinsammlung()
         EndIf
      $IS = _ImageSearch("orange.png",1,$outputx,$outputy,60)
          If $IS = 1 Then
         MouseClick("left",$outputx,$outputy,1)
         wartenaufglitzieinsammlung()
         EndIf
      $IS = _ImageSearch("weissgruen.png",1,$outputx,$outputy,40)
          If $IS = 1 Then
         MouseClick("left",$outputx,$outputy,1)
         wartenaufglitzieinsammlung()
      EndIf
          $IS = _ImageSearch("blaugelb.png",1,$outputx,$outputy,40)
          If $IS = 1 Then
         MouseClick("left",$outputx,$outputy,1)
         wartenaufglitzieinsammlung()
      EndIf
          $IS = _ImageSearch("hellblaugelb.png",1,$outputx,$outputy,50)
          If $IS = 1 Then
         MouseClick("left",$outputx,$outputy,1)
         wartenaufglitzieinsammlung()
      EndIf
        $IS = _ImageSearch("rotlila.png",1,$outputx,$outputy,50)
          If $IS = 1 Then
         MouseClick("left",$outputx,$outputy,1)
         wartenaufglitzieinsammlung()
         EndIf
   WEnd

My thesis is that while my desktop shows the fitting picture for picture 3, the script is actually searching for picture 11 so it doesn't react to picture 3. 

This way of searching many pictures is inefficient in my opinion so does someone know how to improve my script? With ImageSearchArea I would just get minimal improvement because I'm looking for almost my complete desktop. And also 15x15 pixel is the minimum size for the pictures because otherwise the script doesn't find them anyway. Or maybe there is a better function than ImageSearch in order to search for several pictures. Maybe also important information: When the script found one of the pictures I want to start a new function so it won't search anymore for the pictures. Maybe there is also an alternative or something that makes it more efficient than my actual script

If you find the picture use exitloop.

Where did you get that username?

Ok I'll try the exitloop.

My username? I made it up in my mind, why?

Is it meant to be a play on Manipulation?

[PainTain]

This sounds like a gamebot to me.

The picture names are colors in german, that function name means something like "wait for [item something, i guess] collection".

@OP: Read the rules?

It's just a cool name in my opinion because it combines money with manipulation where you can interpret alot from but that's not the topic here

No I just want to test something on moving pictures (video so to speak) and the efficiency of reacting to pictures. This doesn't have to deal with a gamebot. The function name is more or less random because I'm not far enough to code what to do next because I'm stuck with this problem

Please just post help and don't discuss about my script being illegal :/

This is a gamebot. (for the game Seafight, i guess.). He crossposted this in the german forum where it's already removed.

Side note: I guess it's Seafight, because that is the only game i know which features items called "glitzi(s)" to collect. As the code clearly contains a function for collecting something called "glitzi", it has to be a bot. (Glitzi is also a famous cleaning sponge in Germany, but it's more likely to be a bot ;-) )

I'm seeing the same information.

moneypulation,

Welcome to the AutoIt forums - and I agree with the "cool nick" comments.

But the "gamebot" evidence seems clear. Please read the Forum rules (the link is also at bottom right of each page) - particularly the bit about not discussing game automation - before you post again. Thread locked.
