Sometimes the symbol can get obscured so you have to lower the SymbolAccuracy, the default setting is 0.8;


SymbolAccuracy:= 0.4;

That's the lowest/safest to go.. so just implement that into your script somewhere before you use FindSymbol, or GetSymbolColor.

If people or objects are standing on it, it will cause problems. If you are using a very popular place try using something other than symbol, something near it.

thanks, whiteshadow, for explaining that to me.

also, thanks whales for clarifying
