Basic Objects and Methods Introduction

setHighlightTextStyle (0xddffff00, 0x00000000, 18)

this is not work to me, text background, color also text size looks as default, or i was wrong?

Hi,

I have some trouble with my script and I wonder if it is because I'm misunderstanding how touchDown is used.

I want to press a location on the screen until a pixel changes colour,release until it changes back and repeat until a button appears. I have a toast giving me feedback about the rgb values, so they are not the issue at hand. I'll post the script I have written so far:

Settings:setCompareDimension(true, 1280)
Settings:setScriptDimension(true, 1280)
Settings:set("MinSimilarity", 0.8)

local loc = Location(630,155)
local bar = Region(365,130,700,45)
local bubble = Region(50,250,200,200)

while true do
wait(1)
click(Location(1170,610))
if bar:exists("great.png", 10) then
click(Location(1170,610))
end
wait(1)
if bubble:exists("bite.png", 15) then
click(Location(1170,610))
end
wait(2)
hooked = 1
while hooked == 1 do
r, g, b = getColor(loc)
toast ("r:" .. r .. " g:" .. g .. " b:" .. b)
touchDown(Location(1170,610))
while (r <= 13 and g <= 60 and b <= 160) do
r, g, b = getColor(loc)
toast ("r:" .. r .. " g:" .. g .. " b:" .. b)
end
touchUp(Location(1170,610))
--if exists ("jump.png", 1) then
--wait(1)
--swipe(Location(1170,610),Location (450,610))
if exists("continue.png", 1) then
existsClick("continue.png", 10)
hooked = 0
else
end
end
end
wait(5)
end
end

Thanks in advance!

EDIT:

So I've solved a par of it, it seems like you can't have a while loop based on RGB? Is there a way yo to that ?

This seems interesting, but can I use other functions in there like getColor for example? Since I do not know the actual time it needs to wait before the pixel changes color to trigger touchUp I don't see how I can make it work otherwise.

Thanks, I made a post in the script skills forum if you want to reply there instead!

We strongly suggest to use image recognition in stead of color search. It's more intuitive and easy to maintain and debug.
If you really want more complex color search functions, you can always use getColor() to build the functions.

The below is what you want.

function intToRGB(value)
   local b = value % 0x100
   value = math.floor(value / 0x100)
   local g = value % 0x100
   value = math.floor(value / 0x100)
   local r = value % 0x100
   return r, g, b
end


function findColors(colors, count, region)
   if (count == 0) then count = #colors end
   local x, y
   local minX = region:getX()
   local maxX = region:getX() + region:getW() - 1
   local minY = region:getY()
   local maxY = region:getY() + region:getH() - 1

   local minXOffset = 0
   local maxXOffset = region:getW() - 1
   local minYOffset = 0
   local maxYOffset = region:getH() - 1
   for i = 2, count do
       if (color[i][2] < minXOffset) then minXOffset = color[i][2] end
       if (color[i][2] > maxXOffset) then maxXOffset = color[i][2] end
       if (color[i][3] < minYOffset) then minYOffset = color[i][3] end
       if (color[i][3] > maxYOffset) then maxYOffset = color[i][3] end
   end

   snapshotColor()
   local result = {}
   for x = minX - minXOffset, maxX - maxXOffset do
       for y = minY - minYOffset, maxY - maxYOffset do
           for i = 1, count do
               local tx = x + colors[count][2]
               local ty = y + colors[count][3]
               local r, g, b = intToRGB(colors[i][1])
               local tr, tg, tb = getColor(Location(tx, ty))
               if (tr ~= r or tg ~= g or tb ~= b) then break end
               if (i == count) then table.insert(result, {x, y}) end
           end
       end
   end

   usePreviousSnap(false)
   return result
end
Note: The functions are not verified and may contain bugs.

I'm experimenting creating my own script so I wonder is there a limit to the number of seconds as to wait() still works?
My script is meant to do missions but missions might take a while to complete, in the hours range most of the time, so I wonder if it can be made to wait 1-2 hours. Thanks in advance.

Thanks. I'll try implementing in waits of 1-2 hours.
