script for scaning an image

[gerub]

Hi All,

I have no experience in making script and would like your help on it.
I am playing a flash game in a webpage and I want to scan for a image that will pop up any place in the flash game and click that image.
Can someone help on creating such a script?
Can the script be auto running while i am browsing other webpage?
appreciate everyone advice and help.
Thank you.

Best Regards,
Gerub

At a glance it looks fine to me.
Have you tried using different images?
Perhaps a simple coloured shaped on a simple background.

Also, use the code tags, reading code like that is a pain and brings back bad memories of coding in plain notepad.

understand the effect CoordMode has on the script and choose a mode accordingly.
on a side note if youre using imagesearch for a native fullscreen game it probably wont work, you have to switch to windowed or windowed borderless

I try it but somehow it does not detect that image on the adobe flash player game I am playing. It keep prompting can't find the image.
Anyone can advice why?
Thank you.

I almost always need to add a variation to the image search, so the image can be close, but not exactly identical, because some quality is lost when you take a screenshot.

Try changing this line

Code: Select all

ImageSearch,Loc_X, Loc_Y,0,0, A_ScreenWidth, A_ScreenHeight, C:\Users\Peter\Desktop\Tools\Loots1.PNG

To this

Code: Select all

ImageSearch,Loc_X, Loc_Y,0,0, A_ScreenWidth, A_ScreenHeight, *25 C:\Users\Peter\Desktop\Tools\Loots1.PNG

If it works, try to lower the number as much as possible. If it doesn't work, try raising it.

... some quality is lost when you take a screenshot.

perhaps, if youre using some tool or the game's built-in function, which hopefully doesn't need to be spelled out, you shouldn't be doing in the first place

dont use the variation parameter to negate the shortcomings of a shoddily taken needle image.
but sure, provided you coordinates arent messed up, try out playing with the variation. Maybe the haystack image subtly changes hues or smth without u realizing it, but be aware of the fact that by doing so youll be taking a huge dump on imagesearch's performance

without seeing what youre doing, it will be hard for anyone to debug this

[gerub]

can I ask is there a way to run the image search on a minimized windows?
Thank for your advice.

any advice anyone?
