SRL Archive - RS3 Help

Following @Clarity's guide I manage to throw together a paint to add into my script. Upon setting it up I was fronted with a baffling problem… When starting the script it sets up the paint, but as soon as it goes to start cutting the trees, the paint goes away. :confused:

If you need more input just ask! :)

The global var

var
  paintBMP := loadBitmap(appPath + '/Scripts/MWsMasterTreeChopperv1/Paint.png');

My procedure

procedure paintDisplay();
begin
  smartImage.clear;
  smartImage.drawBitmap(paintBMP, Point(0, 463));
end;

The mainLoop + mainloop

procedure mainLoop();
begin
  clearScreen();
  setCompass();
  while not tabBackPack.isFull() do
  begin
    locateTrees();
  end;
  progressReport();
  case random(4) of
    0..2: fletchLogs();
    3..4: burnLogs();
  end;
  progressReport();
end;

begin
  clearDebug();
  smartEnableDrawing := true;
  setupSRL();
  paintDisplay();
  findNormalRandoms();
  repeat
    mainLoop();
  until (LoadsDone > 1000);
end. 

You need to be constantly redrawing the paint image during every iteration of the mainLoop to update the information. SMART drawing doesn't take layers into account, if you clear an area, everything will be cleared.

procedure mainLoop();
begin
  setCompass();
  while not tabBackPack.isFull() do
  begin
    locateTrees();
  end;
  progressReport();
  case random(4) of
    0..2: fletchLogs();
    3..4: burnLogs();
  end;
  clearScreen();
  progressReport();
  paintDisplay();
end;

begin
  clearDebug();
  smartEnableDrawing := true;
  setupSRL();
  findNormalRandoms();
  repeat
    mainLoop();
  until (LoadsDone > 1000);
end.

If your loop is executing too quickly, the image will likely flicker, as it is constantly clearing and redrawing. It's up to you whether you'd like to update once every few loops, or add in wait delays.

Cheers for the quick reply, will do the necessary changes now! :duh:
