SRL Archive - Outdated / Broken

I was improving a flax spinner for falador (a while ago) and I noticed that sometimes, when loading a map, the flag will hold it's position and your player will stop walking. This causes some scripts to time out and I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem or has a solution.
My solution would be to check the flag's position in FlagPresent; or whatever procedure it is now and re-click if the position remains the same after a few checks.
I don't know if it is that much of a problem for anyone else, but it could be a problem we just never knew about. Post your opinions please

i know what you mean, this sounds like a great solution.

yes i have had this trouble with some tests i have done..

it could be changed in Flag; fairly easily just using a time check.. like this (i know its sloppy but it gets the point across)

procedure Flag;
var flagmark, cx, cy : integer;
begin
  if(FindBitmapIn(flag, cx, cy, MMX1, MMY1, MMX2, MMY2))then
    begin
      MarkTime(flagmark);
      repeat
        Wait(10);
      until(not(FindBitmapIn(flag, cx, cy, MMX1, MMY1, MMX2, MMY2)))or(TimeFromMark(flagmark)>=10000)
      if(FindBitmapIn(flag, cx, cy, MMX1, MMY1, MMX2, MMY2))then
        begin
          MarkTime(flagmark);
          Mouse(cx+4, cy+6, 0, 0, true); //clicks flags bottom
          repeat
            Wait(10);
          until(not(FindBitmapIn(flag, cx, cy, MMX1, MMY1, MMX2, MMY2)))or(TimeFromMark(flagmark)>=10000)
          if(FindBitmapIn(flag, cx, cy, MMX1, MMY1, MMX2, MMY2))then
            WriteLn('Flag is stuck');
        end;
    end;
end;

That's what I meant ^.^
The code looks fine to me, good stuff :)

duh. Use FFlag;!

eh, FFlag works too.. i forgot about that one :p

As I was searching through MapWalking.scar, I failed to find FFlag and didn't post. ;)

FFlag clicks until it finds the flag, very useful <3

Oh yeah woops.. There's too many procedures.

sorry for the edgyness, I had little time.

Yes FFlag is IMHO far more superior to Flag. It will break when it reaches a certain predefined pixeldistance from the flag (by drawing a little circle around minimap centre, looking for the color red (=Flag Color)), and it will wait 30 seconds for the flag to disappear. If the flag is still there, it assumes there is something wrong, (Flag-Hang) and it will replant the flag at the color red.

It was one of the first mindbreakers in trying to get SRL flawless/loopless.

I made somthing like FFlag, all it would do is wait until it's in a resonable distance from the center, that way you don't stop and it appears more human.

Not a problem fawk, next time I'll look around more.

FFlag does exactly the same thing, only it doesnt use complicated algos like distance etc, this one draws a cirlce around mm-centre at predefined Distance FFlag(Distance:integer): Boolean. [EDIT] It draws this circle only 4 times a second, so little lag[/EDIT]

Use Distance 10 for a nice smooth walk, without any stops!

Try HumanFlag ;)

yeah i totally forgot it was there.. duh :p

well i got my point across with the post now didnt i? :)

Try HumanFlag ;)

I'm speechless. ;)

(Squig's didn't work well for me/usually nothing would lag but after about 4 seconds of it in the center it would click again)
