Passing a file path to ImageSearch as a variable

[Guest24]

I'm trying to pass the name of an image (image.png) to ImageSearch as a variable.

Code: Select all

imageName := "image.png"
f::
	ImageSearch, posX, posY, 0, 0, A_ScreenWidth, A_ScreenHeight, %imageName% ;  <<< variable
	If ErrorLevel = 2
		{
		MsgBox, 2
		}
	Else If ErrorLevel = 1
		{
		MsgBox, 1
		}
	Else If ErrorLevel = 0
		MsgBox, 0

return

This code gives me only Errorlevel = 2 as a result. Does ImageSearch simply not accept this syntax?

I tried a few variations on this to double check spelling and correct directory, for example:

Code: Select all

f::
	ImageSearch, posX, posY, 0, 0, A_ScreenWidth, A_ScreenHeight, image.png ; <<< actual file name
	If ErrorLevel = 2
		{
		MsgBox, 2
		}
	Else If ErrorLevel = 1
		{
		MsgBox, 1
		}
	Else If ErrorLevel = 0
		MsgBox, 0

return

This works fine, and the directory is exactly the same. I'm using SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%, and the script and image are in the same folder.

Any help greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Lack of CoordMode, Pixel, Screen in the script will cause the issue if a window is active and you are searching out of bounds. (fullscreen in your case)

Give this a try and see the results:

Code: Select all

#NoEnv
SetWorkingDir, %A_ScriptDir%
CoordMode, Pixel, Screen
imageName := "image.png"

f::
	ImageSearch, posX, posY, 0, 0, A_ScreenWidth, A_ScreenHeight, %imageName% ;  <<< variable
    MsgBox % imageName . "`nErrorlevel = " . ErrorLevel
return
