About PixelSearch

[squidol]

I need help about pixel search. The problem with the script below is that PixelSearch does not continue on the coordinates where it has stopped.
When the first pixelsearch finds the 1st pixel, it should move the mouse over it and new pixels would appear just like hovering over menus. Then upon hover, there would be another PixelSearch to see if the second red pixel is found. If not found, then it should resume the first PixelSearch instead of starting from left to right again. 

For example we are doing a pixelsearch on two straight lines with coordinates  [x,y]  :

[0,0] [1,0] [2,0]

[1,0] [1,1] [1,2]

Pixelsearch finds the coordinate [1,0] matching our color. So it checks the pixel just below it which is [1,1] to see if it is color red. If not red then it should continue searching starting on coordinates [2,0] instead of going back to [0,0]

Local $bflag = False

Do
    ToolTip("finding..",0,0,"")
    Sleep(500)
    $var = PixelSearch(591, 169, 1365, 740, 0x464950,50) ; look for initial pixel
    If Not @error Then ;
        MouseMove($var[0],$var[1],0) ;move on the button to show new selections, new pixels
        sleep(1000)
        ;search for the red pixel on an area above the first pixel coords which was 
        ;generated when mouse cursor was hovered on the first pixel found.
        $redpixel = PixelSearch($var[0]-50,$var[1]-50,$var[0]+50,$var[1]+50,0xFF0048) 
        If Not @error Then ; Found the 2nd pixel
                ToolTip("found...",0,0,"")
            $bflag = True 
        EndIf
    EndIf
Until $bflag

I can pay 50USD through Paypal for a working solution. thanks

Can you please tell us which application you try to automate?
Pixelsearch is not very reliable as it depends on screen resolution and window position.
Most of the time there are better solutions to do what you want to do.

Android application emulated on windows (no controls, classnames) where the UI does not have a definite location where it would popup.

If you search the forum you will find a few threads about Android emulator automation.
Maybe something like this is a good starting point:

Remarks

The search direction varies as follows:
    Left-to-Right - left < right
    Right-to-Left - right < left
    Top-to-Bottom - top < bottom
    Bottom-to-Top - bottom < top
Changing the search direction can be a useful optimization if the color being searched for frequently appears in a specific quadrant of the search area since less searching is done if the search starts in the most common quadrant.

i didnt really understand what that says until i realized the < > signs. 

so if i have the variables below:

Global $left = 0
Global $top = 0 
Global $right = 4
Global $bottom = 4

If $left is less than $right and $top is less than $bottom. Then the directions would be Left-to-Right and   Top-to-Bottom. Does the image below represent it?
