Getting distance in pixels?

[tiye0405]

Hello, 

 

I currently have a problem that deals with moving the mouse to a given location + or - a certain distance.

$search1 =_WaitForImageSearch("envelope.bmp", 10, 1, $x, $y, 20)
$search2 =_WaitForImageSearch("envelope2.bmp", 10, 1, $x, $y, 20)

 

If $search1 = 1 Then
            Sleep(100)
            MouseMove($x, $y, 10)
            sleep(99)
            MouseClick("left")
           Sleep(99)
ElseIf $search2 = 1 Then
           Sleep(100)
           MouseMove($x, $y2, 10)
           sleep(99)
           MouseClick("left")
           Sleep(100)
Else
          Sleep(150)
          MouseMove($x2, $y, 10)
          Sleep(150)
          MouseClick("left")
         Sleep(150)

EndIf

The problem about this is that i defined $x2 = $x - 175  and $y2 = $y + 35

I got these numbers ( 175 and 35) with the autoit helper and just subtracted point where it is to the point its supposed to move but it doesnt work.

is there any proper way to find the distance between 2 points in pixels?

 

Imgsearch doesnt always work for this picture so i want it to have a backup

 

edit: could it be that the definition of $x and $y  from the previous image search arent there anymore and thats why it moves my mouse to strange places? 
is there a way to preserve the $x $y from the previous img search untill the next succesful one?

Old as he is Pythagoras is still your friend!

Looks like you're more after the correct origin for the coordinates than actual distance between pixels.

BTW why on earth do you need to compute mouse position this way? What are you trying to automete? There must be a more reliable way to perform thetask at hand.

edit:

Something must be off with my original text

my testing script works just fine going just where i want it to but my original script always goes to: ( current(x), 50) 

global $y = 0, $x = 0, $x2 = $x - 308, $y2 = $y + 40


$search1 =_WaitForImageSearch("name.bmp", 5, 1, $x, $y, 20)
$search2 =_WaitForImageSearch("star.bmp", 5, 1, $x, $y, 20)
If $search1 = 1 Then
    Sleep(100)
    MouseMove($x, $y, 10)
    sleep(99)
    MouseClick("left")
Sleep(99)
ElseIf $search2 = 1 Then
   Sleep(100)
    MouseMove($x, $y2, 10)
    sleep(99)
    MouseClick("left")
Sleep(100)
Else
Sleep(199)
$pos = MouseGetPos()
   Sleep(150)
   $x = $pos[0]
   $y = $pos[1]
    MouseMove( $x, $y - 1100, 10)
Sleep(150)
MouseClick("left")
Sleep(150))
EndIf

i cant find the problem of this specific script that doesnt work when my test ones do :/

 

 

i also tried 

Sleep(199)
$pos = MouseGetPos()
   Sleep(150)
    MouseMove( $pos[0], $pos[1] - 1100, 10)
Sleep(150)
MouseClick("left")
Sleep(150)

Have you tried for loops? 

Example of script moving from bottom to top

For $i = @DesktopHeight To 0 Step - 1
    MouseMove(400, $i)
Next

My problem is that no matter how much i subtract it always moves to the same spot.

 

Sleep(150)
$pos = MouseGetPos()
   Sleep(150)
    MouseMove($pos[0], $pos[1] - 50, 10)
Sleep(150)
MouseClick("left")
Sleep(150)

 

I want it to move a little higher than it already is and it works on the desktop but as soon as it's on google chrome it seems to go to the current xcoord and to the y coordinate that is supposed to be subtracted (in this case (x, 50)).

 

if you throw a while loop in the code like so it will work;

While 1
    Sleep(150)
    $pos = MouseGetPos()
    Sleep(150)
    MouseMove($pos[0], $pos[1] - 50, 10)
    Sleep(150)
    MouseClick("left")
    Sleep(150)
WEnd

I assume the reason why it always moves the mouse to the same spot is because you already have a loop running a series of mouse clicks and every time it gets to the line:

MouseMove($pos[0], $pos[1] - 50, 10)

it uses the previous mouse move location (not provided)... which won't work. If you provide more code I'm sure you can get an answer extremely quick

Yes thank you for the quick reply, here is the whole code

Sleep(150)
MouseClick("left")
Sleep(150)

and i want it to continue afterwards just didnt get there yet

continue as in more imgsearches

Have you looked at While Loops in the help file?
