Hello everyone, i have a little problem,

At the moment i am automating something and the script needs to click on a button, but the button moves sometimes.

This script i have at he moment:

wait>1
mousemove>759,294
lclick
wait>1
WaitScreenImage>C:\Users\Melvin\Documents\Garage.bmp,0
mousemove>638,298
lclick
FindImagePos>C:\Users\Melvin\Documents\moeilijk.bmp,SCREEN,20,1,Xpos,YPos

Mousemove>%XPos%,%YPos%
lclick

Can someone help me with this issue?

Melvin

You have not indicated what problem you might be experiencing. You state that the button moves. FindImagePos> should help with that. So in what way is FindImagePos failing for you? Have you tried a short wait between the mousemove and the LClick?

Have you considered using the PushButton> function instead?

Ow sorry, the problem is that i get a commandline error, Invalid Nummeric Value for MouseMove command.

Sounds like your image isn't being found. Or.. oops just noticed you're using teh wrong variable output.

Try sticking a modal message in the script to see what result you're getting from the findimagepos. Numfound is a variable created by the function. It needs to be 1 or greater. The result of the variables you've defined will be XPos_0 and YPos_0.

Code: Select all

wait>1 
mousemove>759,294 
lclick 
wait>1 
WaitScreenImage>C:\Users\Melvin\Documents\Garage.bmp,0 
mousemove>638,298 
lclick 
FindImagePos>C:\Users\Melvin\Documents\moeilijk.bmp,SCREEN,20,1,Xpos,YPos 

MDL>%XPos_0%,%YPos_0%,%numfound%

Mousemove>%XPos_0%,%YPos_0% 
lclick

First, the NumFound return variable is missing from the FindImagePos line. Second were it there you would want to check it before attempting to click on XPos_0,YPos_0 which would not exist (be non numeric) if an image was not found (thus cause an error):

Code: Select all

FindImagePos>C:\Users\Melvin\Documents\moeilijk.bmp,SCREEN,20,1,Xpos,YPos,NumFound
If>NumFound>0
  MouseMove>%XPos_0%,%YPos_0%
Else
  MessageModal>I did not find the needle image
Endif

Suspect your bmp is not being found. Make sure you use the built in image capture tool. Make sure you're calling FindImagePos at the right time (i.e. when the image you want to find is there ... e.g. if the app's screen hasn't fully loaded yet then you won't find it ... so maybe use WaitScreenImage on the same image first ...)
