Bot For Excavation QTE

[romain0707]

Hello i'm looking for someone who could make a bot for the QTE from the excavation lvl 20, this look like this
Thanks a lot !

Make one yourself. It's not hard.

Mh i tried but i'm stuck on something, i have an issue with comparing array, i don't find how to get the "x" position of each array, i don't see better solution than, finding the blue pixel on the bar (cause they are random for each mini game) and finding the pixel of the arrow, and when thos pixel are aligned, press space... That's what i got for now (it don't work of course)

HotKeySet("²", "space")
HotKeySet("{ESC}","KillSwitch")

while 1
   Sleep(50)
Wend


Func space()
   while 1
      $PIX = PixelSearch(793, 672, 1120, 692, 0x2DA6C7,0)
      $ARROW = PixelSearch(794, 690, 1119, 705, 0xE99800,0)
      if $PIX[0] == $ARROW[0] Then
         Send("{SPACE}")
      EndIf
   WEnd
EndFunc

Func KillSwitch()
   Exit
EndFunc

PS : It's the first time i code something and that's already huge for me x)

Hmm.
Try Image Search, since those blue things changes location but Im assuming that the image is almost always the same except when they change their widths?
If yes, you can crop an image of the blue like so:

Middle of Blue Bar ^

And look for that image.

Likewise, you can also crop an image of the arrow like so:

Middle of arrow ^

Then look for the arrow image.

How it works is that, the calculation always reports/displays the first coordinate X/Y of where the "BLUE" appeared as first searched.

Then likewise, when you search for the "Arrow" it will also report/display the coordinates from which it appeared first.

If Blue appears in X:100 Y:200 and Arrow Appears in X:100 Y:300 this means that the arrow is in the same Y axis of blue but 100 pixels further below it.

Im bad at explaining I hope you understand that. Im not entirely sure about the calculations but this is what I will do.


What you will do next is compare the X of BLUE and X of Arrow.

Pseudo code:
If Blue.x = Arrow.x then
press Space (or whatever key)
end if

or if you want to press a key before Arrow Aligns where BLUE is:
If Blue.x = Arrow.x - 500
press Space
end if

This will trigger SPACE BAR when Arrow is found 500 pixels before blue.

Now, assuming Arrow is a moving object.
So you'll have to search for it first.
Then add a timer how long you'll wait to press SPACE before it Aligns with Blue.
The timer acts as your delay.

Now, there's no guarantee this will be accurate and will always yield 100% result.

That's what i got so far, seems to work, most of the time if you guys want to use it..

HotKeySet("²", "espace")
HotKeySet("{ESC}","KillSwitch")

while 1
    Sleep(50)
Wend


Func espace()
    Global $PIX = PixelSearch(796, 682, 1117, 682, 0x0580C2,10,1)
    while [MENTION=299637]ErRoR[/MENTION]
        Dim $PIX = PixelSearch(796, 682, 1117, 682, 0x0580C2,10,1)
    WEnd
    while 1
        $ARROW = PixelSearch($PIX[0] - 1, 698, $PIX[0] + 1, 698, 0xED9B00,10,1)
        if [MENTION=2544426]Error T[/MENTION]hen
            ContinueLoop
        Endif
        if Abs($PIX[0] - $ARROW[0]) <= 3 Then
            Send("{SPACE}")
            Sleep(500)
            Dim $PIX = PixelSearch(796, 682, 1117, 682, 0x0580C2,10,1)
            while  [MENTION=299637]ErRoR[/MENTION]
                Dim $PIX = PixelSearch(796, 682, 1117, 682, 0x0580C2,10,1)
			 WEnd
        EndIf
    WEnd
EndFunc

Func KillSwitch()
    Exit
EndFunc

Now that you have come up with something yourself, I hope you have learned something in the process!

Here is what I use, perhaps you can find things to improve/understand.

;2560x1440 monitor with Force Widescreen option enabled
Global $g_bPaused = False
Global $Color1 = 0x1675B0 ;Blue
Global $Color2 = 0xEA9305 ;Orange

HotKeySet( "{PAUSE}", "TogglePause") ;Pause the program
HotKeySet( "+!{ESC}", "Terminate") ;Close the program

While 1
	FindPixels()
WEnd

Func FindPixels()
   $Search1 = Pixelsearch(1064, 901, 1489, 919, $Color1, 100)
   if  @ error = 0 then
	  $Search2 = Pixelsearch($Search1[0], 924, $Search1[0], 935, $Color2, 50)
	  if  @ error = 0 then
		 Sleep(60) ;Delay before the space press. Delay depends on your excavation tool. This works for minigame difficulty decrease 3.
		 Send("{SPACE}")
		 Sleep(1000) ; Pause after success to prevent spamming spacebar
	  ENDIF
   ENDIF
EndFunc

 
Func TogglePause()
    $g_bPaused = Not $g_bPaused
    While $g_bPaused
        Sleep(100)
        ToolTip('Script is "Paused"', 0, 0)
    WEnd
    ToolTip("")
 EndFunc   ;==>TogglePause

 Func Terminate()
    Exit
 EndFunc   ;==>Terminate

This specifically works for a 2K monitor with force widescreen ingame enabled.
If you have different screen dimensions, figure out the correct numbers to substitute.

Things to adjust individually:
- Dimensions for Search1 (search area for blue) and Search2(search line for orange)
- sleep(60) -> works for difficulty decrease 3, needs different number for different excavation tools

As how to use this:
Alt + Shift + ESC: Close the Program
Pause (the button above page up on most keyboards): Pause the script. Always pause when just running around to prevent inputs being sent. Unpause when the minigame starts.

Looks great ! I was on the good way as i see of your script , Thanks Mate

[Millionairez]

Would taking a screenshot of the minigame and finding the correct placement of where mine is on my screen the best way of doing it?

yes

[Croki]

Can someone help me on this please?

[Millionairez]

What is the point of line 16, i know it's for the arrow, but what are the numbers of 924 and 935. Is that the length of the arrow you're looking for?

$Search1 = Pixelsearch(1064, 901, 1489, 919, $Color1, 100)

This is to search the box for the color blue

$Search2 = Pixelsearch($Search1[0], 924, $Search1[0], 935, $Color2, 50)

This is for the arrow. I am looking for an entire line from y = 924 through 935 because colors are sometimes fucky, so this give a bigger (100%) chance of finding the yellow. You can also make this a point instead of a box, but I had more success with these settings

[Millionairez]

I'm getting an error in line 15. Is this a autoit script or ahk?

The problem seems to be
if @ = 0 then
if ^ ERROR

Wow, i figured it out. It has to say @

[darkanzeus]

can you show your result pls cause i can't find the right syntaxe

Go to the autoit wiki and look at the documentation.
