ok, back when i first downloaded actools i saw that someone suggested to someone on the forum something about being able to scan the screen to make sure it was what it was supposed to be during that that part of the macros, kinda like a if then statement.

just wondering if it really existed and if so what is it and how to use?

Can use LoadRGB (don't use iscolor imo) and IsObject.

I have a chunk of code that performs screen scans using several patterns, by column, by row, and a spiral pattern (iirc), I'll have to look through my old stuff at home.
