autoit3 is also a bit weird, when i do shift alt tab it goes to another window, what should i do?

[Chris]

Each of your loops will be infinite if the color is never detected. Also, note that PixelGetColor uses coordinates relative to the active window by default. If you wish to change that to be absolute/screen coordinates, put this somewhere near the top of your script:
CoordMode, Pixel

oh, thx, but errm, autoit3 still isnt working well, what should i do?

[Chris]

If you can be more specific, we might be able to help you. Try putting in some temporary MsgBox commands to help you debug it.

so now i have another question, with pixelgetcolor, do you get the color from autoit3 active window?

[Chris]

You can get the color from Window Spy, or you can use PixelGetColor in a simple script such as this (useful for full screen games):

#z::
MouseGetPos, X, Y
; Move the cursor out of the way so that it doesn't block the pixel we want.
; Move the mouse slowly so that the game can keep up with it:
MouseMove, 0, 0, 3
PixelGetColor, color, %X%, %Y%
MouseMove, %X%, %Y%, 1 ; moving faster seems ok in this case
clipboard = %clipboard%`nX%X% Y%Y% Color %color%
return

After you've pressed Win+Z to capture a few pixels of interest, you can then alt-tab out of the game and paste them into a text editor with Ctrl-C.

wow... nice
but is there also sumthing like that for the mouseposition? (not fullscreen)

[Chris]

Window Spy shows the color of the pixel under the mouse. Example:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>( Pixel Color )<<<<<<<<<<<<<
13160660

You can also use combine the MouseGetPos command with PixelGetColor to do the same thing. See the help file for details.
