Move mouse to color hex code (detection)

[coughs]

Hello,

I just purchased keyboard maestro and I was wondering how can I move my mouse to the color hex code I select? currently I believe it detects pictures but I would like to select a color code

can you please help me

thanks

[hello]

don't know if that's possible natively using just KM, there are some solutions in StackOverflow

Here's a thread about a possible KM solution, using a predefined set of colors:

Specify pixel color by variable

I'm trying to specify the particular color that a pixel should be for a condition. I'm using an If / then / else, where the condition is: The pixel at: [x_coord] [y_coord] is [color]. The issue here is that while I can pick the color using the color picker and see the hex value / RGB numbers, I can't seem to specify either the RGB or Hex number for the color using a typed value or variable. I'd like to be able to refer to the color as a variable. Is this possible? [image] Two examples of…

Thank you.

How would I use your stackoverflow solution? I didn't know you could write something in Python and use it

[hello]

I just remembered that SVGs can be converted to PNGs, so, a possible KM "native" solution could be:

Copy Hex to clipboard

Then you activate a KM macro, which does the following:

1. Inserts the hex #00000 code in a SVG

2. The SVG is saved to a file

3. In Terminal, Converts SVG to PNG using

   qlmanage -t -s 1000 -o ~ ~/test.svg

4. It outputs a PNG image

5. The macro reads the image

6. Phew, finally, move the mouse to it

Yes, you can use Python and other languages as well!

Awesome I'll give that a try!

I didn't realise you could use programming languages to create extended functionality with KM

If I wanted to make it more advanced for example if press the command button it will have a delay between 30 seconds to 2 minutes (randomised every time) then click #00000 with randomised x and y position? would that be possible

[hello]

@coughs

have a delay between 30 seconds to 2 minutes (randomised every time)

yes, just use a calculation inside the Pause, like this:

Could the pause time be random?

If you start typing a non-numerical value, the input field for the Pause action expands into a field that accepts calculations. You can then declare a random pause like so: [image] which, in this case, will pick a random number between 0 and 10, and pause for that number of seconds.

also try sharing your macro, what you have so far, and what app(s) do you need it for, so we can give a better advice.

Thank you for the constant responses. I really appreciate it

I don't have a macro currently. I am still trying to figure out how to use KM as I just purchased it.

I am trying to make a task easier in an idle game. It would be such a time saver if what I want is possible.

Do you think my requirements are too complex or is it definitely possible?
