Help/Support Autotouch Tutorial

MiloIce · May 7, 2015

Hi guys, I'm looking for someone that could teach me how to use the autotouch and make a custom script myself. Recording and playing is simple but I need to make a better bot by checking the image and pressing on different buttons and sometimes I would need to slide the page downwards to see the item.

Anyone could help me out? Because from what I see from the app maker site, there isn't a help to me =(. Please help me out guys!

I use autotouch for AppTrailers all you really have to do is

1. Record yourself doing the designated action so if i wanted autotouch to close my app i would double tap the home button and open the app switcher then close the app.

2. Stop the recording and review it by playing it once to see if it meets your standards if not tweak the speeds and intervals or just record it again.

Thats basically it reply to me if you need more help

hello there! yea i understand about the record and playing, I need to do more in depth editing of the script and add some extended functions into it. Functions likes findimage and and where can i get the directory to the image and all. Because for my game, I need to move around and press buttons and its not always fixed you see. =)

3.2.19. findImage {imagePath, count, fuzzy, ignoreColors}

Find the regions similar to the specified image on the screen, return the top-left coordinates of the regions as table.

Params
- imagePath: the path of the small image you want to find out from the screen, such as the spirit image in the game. (REQUIRED)
- count: how many no more than you want to find out, default is 0, means all the fit ones in the screen should be found.count=1 means only the first fit one should be found, count=2 means the first two should be found.It will be faster when you set this parameter to a small value. (OPTIONAL).
- fuzzy: the degree of fuzzy matching when finding, default is 1, means match exactly, fuzzy=0.5 means match 50%. (OPTIONAL)
- ignoreColors: array(table in lua) type of colors will be ignored when finding. (OPTIONAL).
Return
- locations: the top-left coordinates of the regions these similar to the specified image. Looks like {{x1, y1}, {x2, y2}, …}.
Examples

-- example 1:
local result = findImage {imagePath="/var/spirit.png", count=5};
for i, v in pairs(result) do
    log("x:" .. v[1] .. "y:" .. v[2]);
end

-- example 2:
local result = findImage {imagePath="/var/spirit.png", fuzzy=0.6};
for i, v in pairs(result) do
    log("x:" .. v[1] .. "y:" .. v[2]);
end

-- example 3:
local result = findImage {imagePath="/var/spirit.png", ignoreColors={0xffffff, 0x2b2b2b}};
for i, v in pairs(result) do
    log("x:" .. v[1] .. "y:" .. v[2]);
end

-- example 4:
local result = findImage {imagePath="/var/spirit.png", count=1, fuzzy=0.9, ignoreColors={0x0000ff}};
for i, v in pairs(result) do
    log("x:" .. v[1] .. "y:" .. v[2]);
end

3.2.20. findImageTap {imagePath, count, fuzzy, ignoreColors}

This function is almost the same as the findImage, the difference is findImageTap finds the regions then taps them orderly with 0.016 second interval, and it doesn’t return anything.

Params
- imagePath: the path of the small image you want to find out from the screen, such as the spirit image in the game. (REQUIRED)
- count: how many no more than you want to find out, default is 0, means all the fit ones in the screen should be found.count=1 means only the first fit one should be found, count=2 means the first two should be found.It will be faster when you set this parameter to a small value. (OPTIONAL).
- fuzzy: the degree of fuzzy matching when finding, default is 1, means match exactly, fuzzy=0.5 means match 50%. (OPTIONAL)
- ignoreColors: array(table in lua) type of colors will be ignored when finding. (OPTIONAL).
Return
- None
Examples

-- example 1:
          findImageTap {imagePath="/var/spirit.png", count=5};

          -- example 2:
          findImageTap {imagePath="/var/spirit.png", fuzzy=0.6};

          -- example 3:
          findImageTap {imagePath="/var/spirit.png", ignoreColors={0xffffff, 0x2b2b2b}};
