Erm, my question is how do you image search for a image in your folder?

I mean like:

ImageSearch.ahk (is in folder A)
image.bmp (is in folder A)

when I do:
ImageSearch, FoundX, FoundY, 0,0, 2000, 2000, inventory.bmp

it gives me ErrorLevel2 which means it can't find the image location...

any help?

Try adding a / before the image file.

Nice guess! But no... didn't work.. Any more suggestions?

If the script and the image are both in the same directory, what you have posted should work... But, try providing an absolute path for the image file (e.g. C:\Documents\Whatever\inventory.bmp)

I'm guessing that theproblem is in the region specified for the image search. You should try

Is it just me or is image.bmp not equal to inventory.bmp. I assume that this isn't the mistake, but it's obvious which usually is right Smile

.

I've used image search a lot with relative addressing without any problems.

Another question on imagesearch:

Let´s say I want to search an image of 100*100.
I have found that the upper left corner is at 600/600.

Can I specify the coordinates to search with 599,599,601,601?
Or do I need to use 599,599,701,701?

With other words, does the complete image need to be withhon the parameters, or only the upper left corner?

Choosing tight coorinates is a matter of performance withhin loops...

Thanks

I believe you would need 599,599,701,701 but i haven't verified it. Though it should be pretty easy to check.

This shouldnt matter. If you put 600,600,10000000,10000000
the 2nd number shouldnt matter since the first thing the ImageSearch does is find the picture @ 600,600

So even if you want to do it 599,599,601,601 (if this doesnt work) you could just aswell do 600,600,A_ScreenWidth,A_ScreenHight

I have not verified this but its the most logical result.

Hi Zeleene, welcome to the forum.

Thanks for trying to help others. Smile

But I'll point out the following things:

1. The thread is almost 24 months old
2. the user you responded to has not posted in over 20 months.
3. you gave an answer that you didn't test
4. you gave an answer that doesn't address the question
5. you gave an "the 2nd number shouldnt matter" which is wrong
(you probably meant "the 2nd corner", and you are still wrong)
