Click on a moving graphic

[xpdite]

Hi

I am not sure if it is possible or not but I have not had any luck trying to get this to work

I have been playing with MMM to reduce some of the grinding in a game I am playing.
I am looking for a way to have MMM click on a picture (Basically a ship (red ones, not green or blue)) on the screen and select the attack button when it pops. Rinse and repeat 100 times. 

I have been unable to find a way to do this.  Is this even possible?

I have created a macro for some of the things I do on the screen that are stationary and it works well.  I think the macro I created can be improved a lot as it is not very dynamic.  What is the best way to learn this type of programing.  I really enjoyed creating the few macro's that I have but would like them to evolve.

An idea would be to have MMM detect the color of the ship using the pixel color condition (https://www.turnssoft.com/conditions.html#pixelcolor). The hard part Im guessing is going to be detecting the ships, i'm assuming they are not in the same place every time and are flying randomaly around the screen.

It might be possible, depending on how deep down the rabbit hole you want to go. It would be something like this pseudo code:

1 | FOR | I | = | 1 TO 1000 | NEXT
2 | IF | PIXEL COLOR | Color [R=145, G=228, B=247]::At Location [X:942 Y:536] | IS NOT THE SAME | CONTINUE
3 | 300 | 300 | 10 | LEFT CLICK
4 | FOR | NEXT


Best way to learn is to check out the examples in this forum. There is plenty of code here to reference. The search box function with this forum works pretty well.
Start here (minimousemacro.proboards.com/board/3/help?q=.gif) for some live examples.
Check out the condition page for examples of conditions www.turnssoft.com/conditions.html.
There are some video references here too www.turnssoft.com/mmmyoutube.html

xpdite, would you be able to upload a gif of the ships/planets moving (30 seconds or so). I have an Idea but need to see how you interact with the objects on screen.

Not sure if this will work.  Made an animated gif of the screen

They are random on the screen and fly in a straight line.  at some point the will turn and head a different direction

Is this game like VEGA Conflict by any chance?

can you show me what happens when you click on a ship or miss click?

This is the only way I could think of doing this but it is extremely slow.
This does a line of pixels at a time, took me about 5 minutes to scan the entire screen.
If you can narrow down your Start and end points then it would be a lot quicker.

* | Loop Amount
1 | RUN ACTION | INPUT BOX | Please enter number of times to repeat::Loop Count::INTEGER
2 | IF | INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER% | IS | 0 | GOTO MACRO LINE | Loop Amount
* | Screen Width (X) End Point <- Edit to suit your screen
3 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER1%::1365
* | Screen Hight (Y) End Point <- Edit to suit your screen
4 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER2%::760
* | Starting Points
* | (X) Start Point <- Edit to suit your screen
5 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER3%::10
* | (Y) Start Point <- Edit to suit your screen
6 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER4%::10
* | Step Amount <- Edit to suit your screen
7 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER5%::10
* | Running Variable
8 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER6%::%INTEGER3%
* | Screen search for Red Dot
9 | IF | PIXEL COLOR | Color [R=202, G=102, B=102]::At Location [X:%INTEGER6% Y:%INTEGER4%] | IS THE SAME | GOTO MACRO LINE | Colour Found
* | 10 | %INTEGER6% | %INTEGER4% | 1 | Mouse Movement
11 | IF | INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER6% | GREATER THAN EQUAL TO | %INTEGER1% | GOTO MACRO LINE | Next Line
12 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER6%::+%INTEGER5%
13 | RUN ACTION | GOTO MACRO LINE | Screen search for Red Dot
* | Next Line
14 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER6%::%INTEGER3%
15 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER4%::+%INTEGER5%
16 | RUN ACTION | GOTO MACRO LINE | Screen search for Red Dot
* | Colour Found
* | ## Put actions you would like to take below here ##
17 | %INTEGER6% | %INTEGER4% | 1000 | Left Click
* | ## Put actions you would like to above here ##
18 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER%::-1
19 | IF | INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER% | IS | 0 | STOP
20 | RUN ACTION | GOTO MACRO LINE | Screen search for Red Dot
The only other way this could be done is if Steve can get the pixel color in PIXEL RANGE function working.

Actually it is Star Trek Fleet Command (Android Game) on Blue Stacks.

Tried to get a screen capture but I cannot get it small enough to post

To record I use Screen to Gif.
www.screentogif.com/

And to upload I use Imgur.

Left click red ship, window pops up, click attack. Windows closes and ship is attacked automatically.

Rinse and repeat

I am not sure it is something that MMM can do.

Someone suggested the Macrorecorder may be able to handle it.
