MouseMove to Pixel Color

Post by bb42392 » Fri Mar 21, 2008 4:42 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

Can you state what you want to do exactly?

The screen-recognition functions should give you a headstart

I want it to search for a pixel color or a certain picture on the screen. Once it has found this object or pixel I want it to recognize it and move the mouse to that object. Once it has moved there I want it to left click, and then repeat. Over and over again.

To search for an object use FindImagePos.

To search for just a pixel color either use GetPixelColor in a nested loop (one for X and one for Y) or use the FindColor library which was designed for just this process:

Download the FindColor library at:
