Mousemove to pixel color

Post by bb42392 » Tue Mar 18, 2008 9:20 pm

Hi,
I just started using Macro Scheduler, and so far I've had no issues. However, recently I wanted to try writing a script involving mouse moving and clicking on certain areas of the screen. I know how to find the pixel color of these areas, but is it possible to make the mouse move to this pixel color once it has been found and then click on it? I've already tried using coordinates to move the mouse to these areas, but it doesn't work because the background screen environment is constantly changing and moving around.
Thanks for all your help

Click a pixel based upon color value using nested loops

This should give you some ideas....

Code: Select all


GetScreenRes>MaxX,MaxY

//Set this to a color value of a pixel you want clicked
Let>TargetColor=1619513

Let>x=0
Repeat>x
  Add>x,1
  Let>y=0
  Repeat>y
    Add>y,1
    GetPixelColor>x,y,result
	If>result=TargetColor
	   MessageModal>Found it!  %x%  %y%
	   //Click on it if you want
	   //MouseMove>x,y
	   //LClick
	   Goto>Exit
    Endif
  Until>y=MaxY
Until>x=MaxX

Label>Exit

FindImagePos might be the simplest way. The "needle file" can be a small patch of the color you are looking for - it can be as small as a single pixel. then the command will find all occurances of that color for you without needing to use a loop.

The quickest way is to use the FindColor library which you can download from: http://www.mjtnet.com/plugins.htm

Give it a colour and a rectangle to search within and it will return the position of the pixel with that colour. It is much faster than using GetPixelColor in a loop.

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread.

Is that still true? I have not had luck using FindImagePos for a 1x1 BMP.

Where could I find FindColor library please? I can't find it using a Google search, and the link doesn't work any more. Thanks in advance!

No idea where the find color library might be or even how it works.

I always use THIS.
