I’m trying to create a macro to collect items in a 2D game. The character moves one square at a time using the arrow keys. When the same item drops three times, I want the macro to press the arrow keys one by one to move to the left-most, top-most item and collect it. The issue is that when the item images are detected simultaneously, it's difficult to ensure the macro collects the items in order starting from the left-most, top-most. I’ve tried using the "For Each" action but it's tricky since I’m new to this. Can someone help?
Since we can't see the game, and you haven't told us what the game is, we can't give much advice.
But I'm going to ask you, since you checked the "Display" flags on both actions, does it look like the actions are correctly finding the images you want? I'm worried more about your second image than your first one, because your second one is so small you may end up getting a lot of false positives. For a macro like this to work, you probably need the image searches to provide accurate results, but you didn't say if those actions are providing accurate results.
Your found image collection should be ordered left-top to right-bottom. But what are you doing after that?
As @Airy says, you're detecting the "best" small image in quite a large area -- a high chance of false positives. But even if you do get the correct hit, what then? You're only doing one keypress left or right, then one keypress up or down -- I don't know the game, but I'd expect the topmost leftmost item to require more keypresses than that.
You can check your "For Each" action's detection using the "Highlight" action:
If that's working you can move onto what's happening inside the "For Each...".
