If {picture} then {do this}

UI.Vision RPA HowTo
2

This is a great question so I made a short screencast to show it:

In a nutshell, you:

  • Use visualSearch to search for image. I reduced !timeout_wait to one second, so only search is done per executed visualSearch command. If you would make the command timeout e. g. 10 seconds (default), then visualSearch waits for 10 seconds to see if the image might show up. It does one image search per second. The number of found images is stored in the variable.

  • Use IF to check on the result of visualSearch. Here we use Do...RepeatIf, so we stay in the loop until the image is found.

Macro code:

{
  "Name": "If IMAGE do THIS",
  "CreationDate": "2019-9-5",
  "Commands": [
    {
      "Command": "store",
      "Target": "1",
      "Value": "!timeout_wait"
    },
    {
      "Command": "do",
      "Target": "",
      "Value": ""
    },
    {
      "Command": "visualSearch",
      "Target": "taskbar_open_dpi_96.png",
      "Value": "found"
    },
    {
      "Command": "repeatIf",
      "Target": "${found} == 0",
      "Value": ""
    },
    {
      "Command": "echo",
      "Target": "Image found! (${found})",
      "Value": "#shownotification"
    }
  ]
}
