SRL Archive - SRL Old School RuneScape

Hi all,

I have a script that uses

MakeCompass(RandomRange(0, 360));

This line after about an hour and a half of running the script everytime throws this error.

Exception in Script: Runtime error: "Access violation" at line 50, column 14

I'm not sure why or what to make of it. If anyone has and answers I'd appreciate it.

I see no one answered this. I don't know the libraries involved with the OS code but I will suggest a general debugging idea.

If it only happens once in a while it's probably due to the random number.

Functions tend to fail in edge cases so I would try making a test script that calls MakeCompass(0) and MakeCompass(360). Perhaps one of these causes the access violation.

Hi there!

Well, i took my time and downloaded Simba to see directly inside the include of SRL, so we can understand the function. So the information about the function says this:

function MakeCompass(Direction: Variant): Boolean;

Aligns RS to specified direction
- Enter a compass angle ('n', 's', 'e', 'w') or degree (23.3, 25, 205.2)
and it will move the compass to that angle. Also accepts 'random',
and 'rand' to make the compass a random direction.

So instead of using the function RandomRange like you did, you could just use the function randomness like this:

MakeCompass('random'); 

or this:

MakeCompass('rand');

If this also errors, try to re-update simba and your include. If after that it still continues to error, please come back again, and show us your script, so we can help further.

I'm not sure why or what to make of it. If anyone has and answers I'd appreciate it.

looks complicated
