Hello, I finished the autoattack/autoloot/autoclick functions on my bot and am now working on the autopotter. I'm not really sure how to do this however. I've looked up the GetPixel API and am not sure how to apply that to the HP/MP bar since the gradients change. Help in delineating the basics on how an auto potter should be coded would be appreciated. Thank you.

BTW, I'm coding this in Win32 API C++. No MFC.

I've visited that page at least ten times. No it doesn't help.

The gradient may change, but the bar stays the same length. Just split it up into sections. Then check if there is gray behind a section.

You can check if red or blue > green.
if(rgb.red>rgb.green){true}

EDIT:
I forget if the gray gradient changes too. If not, just check the gray instead of the red/blue.

Well, I just tried that and it just pots constantly. I'm sure there has to be a better way. How about autoChat? How would one implement that? I've tried sending my edit boxes WM_COPY messages, and then postmessagging the WM_PASTE function to MS, but nothing seems to work.

Usually when you are using windows forms you use managed code and can use the String class from the BCL.

for the autopotter, look at the bar when its empty, there is a line just above the line black notches where the colours remain the same all the way along
just find the rgb value of that and check it

as for the autochat, my C++ isnt great, but from memory you do something like

for i =1 to (Length of text string) do
PostMessageX(your maple handle, WM_CHAR, Ord(TextString(i)), 0)

im not sure if Ord(TextString(i)) works in C++, the i is just the integer (1st, 2nd 3rd) of the charcter

Why not using HP and MP values instead of GetPixel?

Ok, to avoid using all this bypassed postmessage stuff just inject the message into the Window Procedure.

Ok, I've spent literally 3 days trying to figure out the autopotter and nothing is working. I tried using getpixel but the only color it returns is black. Any ideas on what is going wrong?

Can you post your code?

Are you using screen or client coords?

Alright the pertinent code that I'm using is

Might want to try http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms533179(VS.85).aspx incase you're trying to get the coords from without the client. Are you playing in full screen or window?
And you're using a bypassed getpixel?
