2 years ago Hi R,
That's great you have been able to figure it out. There's quite a bit of cool functionality in ATS. Including script design.
I have a video in the works to cover many aspects of the functionality and script design. But it's a few weeks out.
Here's a couple hints on object search that should get you running.
Threshold is the relationship between the source and target image, each threshold will be different, because it's relative to the images being compared. Since it works at the individual RBG channel level, it's almost impossible to figure it out without using the Test button and tweaking it so that it meets the threshold at an acceptable level.
The object search compares the two images, first it takes a screenshot, then it crops the image (this is the area to search). Then it takes the object and does math at every location on the image pixel by pixel and compares each possible location. It takes the highest score it finds after comparing every possible location, then checks to see if it meets the Threshold. If it meets the threshold then....
If you have a click event directly under the object search, it will click on the located image - centering the click event box size on that location then click there.
Here's one
On this event, the gold chest floats inside this range it goes up and down
and scrolls left. So since it's only in that range, then I don't need to
check anywhere else.
Here's my action, The size of the click area is how wide the clicks will
be. Also since it's moving I have a -9 pixel offset.
It doesn't really matter where the box is, this is just configuring the
click area and offset. This one and the above one work the same.
AHH...but..What if you don't want to click on the object. Instead you want to click somewhere else, here's the hack for that. (This is an option I need to build into the properties, but I haven't had any idea how to make it intuitive(ish)).
Here's how you do it (if you don't want to click on the object you searched for). Object Search Event -> Event (empty or color/point) -> Click Action
VS.
Object Search Event -> Click Action
**** The most important part.
See the Object doesn't have the background included, that's because the
background changes on every level and when the level scrolls. And I don't
want the background in the calculation.
So this is:
Is not as good as this:
Object search takes considerably more CPU time to do the search than using color/points, so if you can do it with color/point that would be ideal or set the mask appropriately. (Also Mask isn't required)
Here's another example, This one I want to click "Buy" if it's on the
screen, and a few other icons, and scroll down the list, then scroll back
to the top if I don't take any actions.
First check that it's viable before doing object searches. That way it
won't run every time.
Then If I see Buy, Click it.
In the Village Group as it goes down the list, if it gets to the bottom, it
performs scrolling actions if there's nothing found.
Let me know if this helps,
Daniel

Hello Daniel,
First of all I want to thank you enourmously for this useful tool you designed, I am using it daily basis on my favourite game and after some learning I managed to automate it perfectly. Thanks.
In order to improve my scripts I've been trying to use image detection fuctions to enlarge my capabilities, sadly, I failed every time I tried.
I don't understand what I am doing wrong, I make objects, select mask, colour and at the time of running detections does nothing. It just walks through next action.
Would be possible for you to make a video or some extra documentation of how to use it?

Looking forward on hearing from you. Best regards R.
