[Sikuli-driver] [Question #283780]: how to change default screen to a custom region?
New question #283780 on Sikuli: https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/283780 Hi! Im making a bot for a game on bluestacks and i need it to only look for matches inside bluestacks window, but sometimes it clicks on my desktop or even on a stream that im watching during the farm. So i tried to solve it like this: SCREEN = "custom region created via IDE toolbar" didnt work (i moved bluestacks window outside the defined region and bot still found matches there) then i tried: r = "custom region created via IDE toolbar" and wrote "r." before each exists, wait and click function, it stopped working completely. Im only using one monitor, also each click, wait and exists functions contain only 1 argument that has an image created via "insert screenshot" button on the IDE toolbar.

Eugene S proposed the following answer:
A region can be defined as simple as:
customReg = find("pattern.png")
then if you want to find something within that region you can act in a
similar manner:
wantToFind= customReg.find("anotherPattern.png")

Kopanda is still having a problem:
umm i dont need to define a region through pattern, i need it to be
exactly where i say. I believe "Region" tool does that, so i go r =
"region made with tool"
then if i go r.exists("pattern.jpg") it will still be looking everywhere
on the screen.
Maybe regions dont work with exists command, or im doing something else
wrong?

I will go through the steps again. 1. Define a region you want to search and store it in a variable. 2. Create patterns of what you want to find in this region (you can only work with pre-defined patterns in Sikuli) 3. Search or wait for these patterns to appear in the region defined in step 1.

Question #283780 on Sikuli changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/283780 Status: Answered => Open Kopanda is still having a problem: I have a working program that is searching and finding patterns on the whole screen, it does it's job great, BUT sometimes, very rarely, it finds matches outside the game window, so i want to restrict the search to region. To do that i first define a region by typing: r = after then i press "region button" on the toolbar, program asks me to select a region. I select it, program pastes a mini picture of that region after equals sign in the expression, that means i defined a region and stored it into "r" variable, is that correct? If thats not how the tool works - please correct me. So if i did everything correct - i just defined a region. Next i take my almost perfectly working code that is ONLY using "exists" functions to find patterns on the screen, (no other function is looking for patterns on the screen in my code), so then i add "r." in front of every single "exists" function in my code. If i understand correctly - now Sikuli should look for those patterns not on the entire screen, but only in region that i stored in "r" variable. If that is correct - after that my program should stop finding patterns and clicking outside the region that i stored in "r" variable, but it doesnt - it still finds matches outside the region that i stored in "r" variable and i dont understand why. Either "exists" function ignores region that it was called by and always searches the entire screen, OR the IDE tool that i marked with an arrow on my screenshot works not as i expect it to work. In any case i could try and define region differently (for example like you said, but using this method will be problemmatic, since i might want to move the game window and i will need to get coordinates and type them in code again every time, while using UI tool is super easy) and i could replace all "exists" functions with "click" functions and ignore all the "pattern not found" errors, but i really want to understand why my code doesnt work, thats almost as important for me to understand what im doing wrong as to fix the code. -- You received this question notification because your team Sikuli Drivers is an answer contact for Sikuli. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~sikuli-driver Post to : sikuli-driver@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~sikuli-driver More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Eugene S proposed the following answer:
Well, I think I know what your problem is. When you define a region in
Sikuli, it remains constant. Meaning that if you moved it elsewhere, you
will have to redefine it (or to find it again) to use. Moreover, you
must remember that the ONLY thing that Sikuli does is finds a predefined
patterns/regions on the screen precisely as they were saved. So if you
captured your region WITH some visual areas around it, then Sikuli sees
all that as a single pattern and will look for it exactly. So you must
make sure that no unrelated pixels are present in your capture. In some
cases, windows can be transparent and unrelated stuff might be visible
through the window. this is a problem too.
Please also note that I am not using IDE in my examples, I use Sikuli as
script from command line. Hence I do not capture the region like you do
from IDE. I do that with print screen and then just store it with my
script and refer to it using it's name, for example "pattern.png". This
is easier when you want to cut the image precisely in paint form
example.
To summarize:
1. If you created a region and it slightly changed - Sikuli won't find it
2. If you created a region and it moved- Sikuli won't find it
If you say that your pattern matched outside the region, that means that you
didn't define the region correctly or doing something else funny. Try using
find() inside the region rather than exists(). Like: region.find("pattern.png")

masuo proposed the following answer:
When click() does not work as I think, I use mouseMove() and click().
But this is in my case. This might not work in your case.
http://sikulix-2014.readthedocs.org/en/latest/scripting.html?highlight=mousemove
[excerpt of the document:]
If the internal timing of the compound mouse functions like click() or
dragDrop() is not suitable in your special situation, you might as well build
your own functions using the basic mouse functions Region.mouseDown(),
Region.mouseMove() and Region.mouseUp()
[example:]
if exists("image") :
mouseMove("image")
click("image")

I think your operation to specify the image is wrong. You are using jpg file for argument. You should change jpg file to png file.

Karl proposed the following answer:
You might use:
r = App.open(bluestacks_app).window()
#http://sikulix-2014.readthedocs.org/en/latest/appclass.html?highlight=window#window
if r.exists("image1.png")
r.click("image1.png")
The IDE doesn't seem to update the region definition unless I change something
in a script.
The scope of the region doesn't seem to change with indentation, but you can
use the following to see what Sikuli thinks the region is:
print r
or
print r.x, r.y, r.w, r.h
Lastly, your screenshot in comment #5 indicates you're using exists
incorrectly. Exists does not take a region as a parameter; it only takes
a Pattern or string
(http://sikulix-2014.readthedocs.org/en/latest/region.html?highlight=click#Region.exists),
unlike all of the Region actions, including click,
(http://sikulix-2014.readthedocs.org/en/latest/region.html?highlight=click
#acting-on-a-region) which take PSMRL.
