Is the ACA Color finding the same as simba? I have tried using it a few times in scripts but it hasn't been too reliable yet..

EDIT: It has worked better for me when I lower the color tolerance.

Did u see yohojo's video on how to use it?

lol, what a coincidence that I was just looking for this. I'm on my way to making my 1st set of scripts.

it's working a bit better, and yes, I have. I still have a lot to learn.

Trial and error, play with tolerance. Get unique colors (important)
Switch worlds, see that your colors always match.

ACA is more for finding many pixels of the same color shade near each other, not just one pixel, but it should be the same as Simba, just has more options and is faster to use

Well, so far it's working for my script. I'm lucky that particular tree is a very weird color :p

Nah. It gets much more interesting when the thing you want to click on is the exact same colour as everything else on the screen. Until you come up with a few tricks, you might pull a few of your hair off, but it's quite rewarding once you get it working.

Good luck on your scripts everyone!

EDIT: As an effort to make my post somewhat worthwhile… The simba colour picker works with CTS 1 I believe (please correct me if I'm wrong) while you can use CTS 0 to 2 with ACA. CTS 2 is particularly useful for precise colour finding. I suggest you to read masterBB's CTS tutorial to get a better idea of how all of this works: http://villavu.com/forum/showthread.php?t=74908.

And I've watched and messed around with ACA and I now have my colors for my script, I'm making a chop n' burn script and got the whole chopping part done. What would be good to use to recognize the logs in my into to burn them. Is it that DTM thing??

Dtm is probably the most reliable easiest Inv object locating way ;)

Put a point in the middle of the log, make tolerance high,

Then put some points around to the black edges of the log, black outline color never changes as far as I know

You could use bitmaps, but DTM is faster and easier.
