Image Recognition Wizard

Post by mightycpa » Wed Mar 03, 2021 5:39 pm

I'm a little confused by something. I'm using the wizard to locate where I should click. In the dropdown box, there are multiple choices with multiple descriptions. However, at least two of the descriptions seem to mean the same thing:

Image

Both selections give me the same return_offset value, 8. I thought that "To the Right of the Image" would place the cursor outside of the image border, as depicted in purple in my screenshot above.

If it is supposed to do that, what is the value supposed to be? Only 0 - 8 are in the documentation for FindImagePos.

They do actually do different things. Middle right would be on the right edge, whereas "To the Right" is off the edge. When choosing "to the right" you'll see you can then set how many pixels to offset it to the right. Below you can see the code generated when selecting "middle right", and then "to the right" setting the pixel offset to 10 and 100 pixels respectively.

Code: Select all

//Find and Move Mouse Middle Right of 
FindImagePos>%BMP_DIR%\image_3.bmp,SCREEN,0.7,8,XArr,YArr,NumFound,CCOEFF
If>NumFound>0
  MouseMove>XArr_0,YArr_0
Endif

//Find and Move Mouse To the Right of the 
FindImagePos>%BMP_DIR%\image_4.bmp,SCREEN,0.7,8,XArr,YArr,NumFound,CCOEFF
If>NumFound>0
  MouseMove>{%XArr_0%+10},YArr_0
Endif

//Find and Left Click To the Right of the 
FindImagePos>%BMP_DIR%\image_5.bmp,SCREEN,0.7,8,XArr,YArr,NumFound,CCOEFF
If>NumFound>0
  MouseMove>{%XArr_0%+100},YArr_0
Endif

OK, didn't notice that code difference. Thanks.
