@powerful_Zephyr5EF9 – Have you downloaded and installed the ScriptingListener plugin?

This is necessary for things the basic Photoshop ExtendScript DOM does not cover.

Doing so would give you something like this:

var idcolorRange = stringIDToTypeID( "colorRange" );
    var desc376 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var idfuzziness = stringIDToTypeID( "fuzziness" );
    desc376.putInteger( idfuzziness, 10 );
    var idcolors = stringIDToTypeID( "colors" );
    var idcolors = stringIDToTypeID( "colors" );
    var idskinTone = stringIDToTypeID( "skinTone" );
    desc376.putEnumerated( idcolors, idcolors, idskinTone );
    var idcolorModel = stringIDToTypeID( "colorModel" );
    desc376.putInteger( idcolorModel, 0 );
executeAction( idcolorRange, desc376, DialogModes.NO );

var idcopyToLayer = stringIDToTypeID( "copyToLayer" );
executeAction( idcopyToLayer, undefined, DialogModes.NO );
