Although most games show their text as graphics, you can try to use Window Spy or WinGetText with your game to see if it contains any text. If it doesn't, the only way to respond to what's on the screen is to use PixelGetColor and PixelSearch.

To help with building a game automation script, here's a simple hotkey that gets the color and coordinates at the pixel where the mouse is pointing in a full screen game:

#z::
MouseGetPos, X, Y
; Move the cursor out of the way so that it doesn't block the pixel we
; want. Move the mouse slowly so that the game can keep up with it:
MouseMove, 0, 0, 3
PixelGetColor, color, %X%, %Y%
MouseMove, %X%, %Y%, 1 ; moving faster seems ok in this case
clipboard = %clipboard%`nX%X% Y%Y% Color = %color%
return

Each time you press Win+z, a new pixel color will be appended to the clipboard.

I really apreciated your help cmallet... maybe I didnt express myself so clearly... (i dont speak english very well)...
anyway...the problem is...
I have to keep the Mouse Cursor still, cause I won't be using that computer... that cause i want that script.. cause I won't have to be sitting in that computer.. i want to handle the game from another Computer.. whispering that CHARACTER.. for example..
I whisper to that character and i say to him "press f2".. and the carachater has to press that key...
so if u have any ideas .. pleeeeeeeeease!
thx again cmallet!

If the computers are networked, there are probably several ways to control one from the other. One of the simplest ways is with a mapped drive.

Let's say that your computer has a drive M: that is a mapped drive on the remote computer. If you create a file of a certain name on the remote computer (using FileAppend), that remote computer can watch for the file (using IfExist) and press a key. So it might work like this:

A script on your computer:

#z::
FileAppend, {F2}, M:\KeyToPress.txt
return

A script on the remote computer:

Loop
{
     IfNotExist, C:\KeyToPress.txt
     {
          Sleep, 10
          continue  ; Start a new loop iteration.
     }
     ; Otherwise:
     FileReadLine, line, C:\KeyToPress.txt, 1
     Send, %line%  ; line should contain {F2} in this example
     FileDelete, C:\KeyToPress.txt  ; Reset for the next time.
}
