Pick point/pick color/capture screen/pick region coordinates

Chart: Pick point dialog

Tip: When entering pick point dialog, press PrintScreen on the upper right corner of the keyboard to have a try.

Pick point/color is a frequently used function because we often need to judge the color change of a point so as to execute the corresponding function. QMacro offers two ways of picking point/color.

Way 1: Hotkey Pick Point
Prior to Version 3.51, players pick point through hotkeys: startup QMacro-;mouse movement-;pick point. After entering pick point dialog, players enter the game and press hotkey to capture the color of the current mouse point. Players can pick 20 coordinate points and the color of the corresponding points. Pick point hotkeys include number keys 0-9 and the 10 letter keys Q-P below the number keys. Press hotkey to get the coordinates and color of the mouse point for making scripts.

Way 2: Screenshot Pick Point (strongly recommended)
Since Version 3.51, "Screenshot Pick Point" function is added on the "Pick Point" dialog. During gaming, press "PrintScreen" key on the keyboard (Can't find it? Search it carefully. It's just on your keyboard!), and enter the "Pick Point" dialog. The screen you captured just now will be displayed on the capture screen dialog. Press down the left mouse button inside the dialog to pick point/color.

Pick region coordinates
Since Version 5.50, you can press the left mouse button and drag it to get the region coordinates during "Capture Screen". This is very useful while applying the function of "find color inside the region" because the obtained region coordinates are the parameters needed in the functions.

Offset pick point
In some games, the appearance of the mouse will "block" the color of the point that you want to pick, so when you press down the hotkey, the picked color will be the color of the mouse. Here, you can address the problem with "offset pick point". Generally, set the offset to -1, -2 and -3 and you can keep away interference from mouse color and pick the real color of the screen.
