🔒 Image Recognition

[cold gust]

Hello, so i had a friend write some code for me that ive never done before. Im trying to mess with image recognition but im not too sure whats wrong with this code. My goal is to use to detect a reference image before moving on to the next part of the code. This is what i have as of now. And here is my error included.

• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

Put r before the string to let python know it should take it as-is, without trying to interpret backslashes as escape commands.

Also, one set of quotes only.

So like image_path = r"C:\Users..."

Gotcha will try the r now

and yeah i noticed the quotes after i sent this!

This is the error i got.

@desert holly so it worked partly i think but im not sure what im looking at

im assuming since it has retries it failed to find the image on screen with the ammount of retries?

[signal wyvern]

read the raise's, it tells you why

[desert holly]

You did if/else but it seems the function raises an exception if image is not found instead of returning something falsy. So you need try/except instead of if/else

Ok, yeah i had a friend write is at ive never messed with if statements or image recognition so this is my frist time.

is there a reason why it culdnt find a image tho? if the image is on my screen?

[desert holly]

If statements are very basic thing, you should therefore grab the basic resources and learn at least that much 😉 but learning as far as exceptions should be good for this project as well

[desert holly]

Depends. Is it exactly the same size? is it visible in full? Etc. I'd also check the docs to see if the call can be parametrised and what the docs say about the error

[cold gust]

So im using a screenshot i had taken from a larger screen. The part that i took a screenshot is fully visable.

ok ill see
