Hey guys, I just started using AHK so I'm new to all this. What I want to do is have my mouse look for certain images then have it click them. I've been reading the docs on ImageSearch and have been messing around with it but I can't seem to understand how to get it to work. Hoping I can get some help with it here, thanks a lot.

Okay, post your script and we will help you to understand the ImageSearch command

Well, the thing is I have next to no idea what I'm doing. Maybe someone could point me in the right direction or throw me an example script to help me get started?

ImageSearch, OutputVarX, OutputVarY, X1, Y1, X2, Y2, ImageFile

So it will be something like this:

ImageSearch, outx, outy, 0, 0, 1024, 768, c:\folder\image.bmp
if ErrorLevel = 0   ; if success then...
MsgBox Image found at X:%outx% Y:%outy%.
return

So I pasted the code and replaced the c:\folder\image.bmp with my image location but nothing happens when I come across the image on screen. What am I missing here?

Try to use color shade variation

ImageSearch, outx, outy, 0, 0, 1024, 768, *5 c:\folder\image.bmp
if ErrorLevel = 0   ; if success then...
MsgBox Image found at X:%outx% Y:%outy%.
else
MsgBox ErrorLevel = %ErrorLevel%
return

Okay, using this one gives me a popup with the coords if the image is found. How can I make it so that my mouse moves to the coords and right-clicks it instead of giving the popup?

You should really read the Helpfile, it can be found at the AHK installation folder. You need MouseMove or MouseClick, or just Click.
