Wow, I did not realize how easy GUI automation is. Thank you, great tutorial :) Not sure where I might use this but it was interesting to follow

Rất tuyệt vời. Cảm ơn bạn Nhờ có video chia sẻ của bạn mà tôi đã cài đặt được pyautogui tìm kiếm màu sắc trên màn hình ..tôi đã bế tắc suốt 5 ngày mà không tìm được trợ giúp. Chúc bạn sức khoẻ và tạo thêm nhiều video liên quan đến pyautogui❤

This is great for mouse moving or clicking on parts of the UI that do not have any other way to control. In this case you can script a sequence that activates calculator to foreground and then type number 5 as a key command. No need to make screenshots for everything that can be keyboard commanded/automated. Or even exists as shortcuts. It will only slow your system down. All you need to automate is the proper app on the foreground and keyboard numbers as input.

It's just an example, dude

very very helpful, thanks!

Just putting this out there for anyone new to this: I had to reinstall Windows and python today due to a drive failure. (It happened whilst making a backup of my C: drive lol) All of my python scripts that used locateOnScreen() or locateAllOnScreen() crashed when it couldn't find the .png I was looking for, whereas it usually returned 'None'. With the latest version of pygame you need to do this: try: found = pg.locateAllOnScreen(fName,grayscale = True,confidence = .899) for f in found: [do what you want here] except: return False OR try: found = pg.locateOnScreen(fName,grayscale = True,confidence = .899) x = found[0] y = found[1] [do what you want here] except: return False

this is very useful, thanks!

If the image we are seeking in code is hidden (program minimized or covered by other program window), the code crashes. How could I prevent that? I had idea to check in a while loop for active window name and if its not desired program then just pause the code, but I am a begginer and cant quite put that to work together

Wrap the locate function in a try and catch statement. The code crashes because of an exception being thrown when it can't find an image. You just need to handle it. Look up "exception handling" in python

Hello I'm trying to find an image on screen based on its shape, without caring about the color matching, can you help? thank you.

'm from Brazil, it's a pleasure to meet your channel. I'm running PyautoGUI and even with other open screens or programs, the screenshot or locateCenterOnScreen, it always takes the MAC home page, the opening screen without icons, just the background screen and the top menu. Do you know why and how to solve it?

Hi, I have a question. How can I make my program take one action if the detection fails, and a different action if the detection succeeds? Thanks!

@coderslegacy5661

Жыл бұрын

Depends on the function. Some of them might return nothing in the output if they cannot find the image (like a return -1 or return 0). In this case we can use an if statement to first check its value and then take action accordingly. Likewise there are some functions which raise exceptions when they cannot find an image. In this case we can wrap them inside a try-except block. Hope that answered your question.

No need for a separate video actually. Everything you need to know is within this video. Let's discuss some possible solutions. Assuming both "5" images are exactly identical, then maybe you can use region parameter to differentiate between them. (e.g the images are on different sides of the screen). Alternatively, another approach would be to find unique elements near each of the "5" images. Example, if one "5" is next to the digit 1, and the other "5" is next to the digit 9. So you can search for these unique elements, then search in the region around this unique elements. (e.g. find the image "1", use its coordinates in the region parameter to search in the near by area). There are other approaches that I can think off, but they really depend on the scenario at hand.

I have an error and this comes up. TypeError: cannot unpack non-iterable NoneType object \ and heres my code: import pyautogui x, y = pyautogui.locateCenterOnScreen("C:\\Users\\user\\PycharmProjects\\Pycharm here\\.vscode\\pyauto\\locateonscreen\\5.png") print(x, y) Can anyone help me?

@coderslegacy5661

This is because the locateCenterOnScreen() function was not able to find the object on the screen, and return None, instead of the usual x and y coordinates. Simply change your code a little. coords = locateCenterOnScreen() if coords != None: print(coords[0], coords[1]) This will handle the error, and prevent any crashes. Now you just need to figure out why the object can't be found.

Another tip I have is to update your libraries. Maybe try uninstalling opencv-python and installing it again.

@@Fares2012FA My guess is that whatever is on the other side of the = operator is returning "None". Normally we should get a pair of two values, which can be unpacked into two variables (x and y).

W tutorial but if u dont mind me asking where u from

Is there a way to make the program look for the an image and if it doesn't find it, cancel any actions after the image/object search? I am learning Python and decided to build a small game bot to auto loot enemies that are killed. Sometimes, enemies will not drop loot but if there is loot present, I can automate a key press to open the loot container. If there is NO loot, the key press does nothing and a new enemy will spawn and the cycle repeats. If there is loot, it produces a static positioned, new top layer window with a button to take the loot. So sometimes the button will be on screen and sometimes it wont. Regardless, I want the program to look for the button and if it finds it, to perform a left click, but if it doesn't find it, then I don't want it to do anything. QUESTION Can you help with that IF statement? I am having a hard time figuring that out.

@coderslegacy5661

If the image is not found, the locate function would return None. So all you need to do is setup a if-condition that checks the result to see if it's None or not. E.g result = locate() If result != None: # code
