Detect pixel range change on screen and take a screen shot

[torikoko]

Hi, thanks for the amazing tool. 

I have been trying to find a way to get MMM to detect a screen change by pixel range and then keypress a value ie F4 to take a screenshot when the change is detected. 

What is the best way to do this? This is what I have so far. Keypress f4 for me takes a screenshot. This is working for scrolling down a webpage checking for new content and taking a screenshot.


 | IF | PIXEL RANGE | At Location [X:700 Y:134]::Size [W:100 H:100] | CHANGES::1::0::0 | GOTO MACRO LINE | 2
2 | 93 | 119 | 2684 | Keypress f4
3 | 93 | 119 | 5200 | Keypress pgdn

Is there anyway to improve this?


Also is there a way to add these two lines to the start without looping them? I would like it to take an initial screenshot (f4) then page down to look for new content, if there is new content I want it to screenshot, if not I want it to keep trying to page down until there is.

Happy to hear your thoughts.

Hello

I’m not familiar enough with using that kind of functions, but…

Maybe let your macro take a screenshot, crop it (so the clock isn’t on the screenshot, let the macro save it, then loop until you can’t find that picture?
