RadialWalk( {TheColor} , 20, 30, 40, {Xmod}, {Ymod});

RadialRoadWalk(RoadColor, 20, 30, 40, {Xmod}, {Ymod});

RadialWalk( {TheColor}
or
RadialRoadWalk(RoadColor

RadialWalk( {TheColor} , 20, 30, 50, {Xmod}, {Ymod});

After you have declared the functions name (RadialWalk or RadialRoadWalk), you have the color and the you have start radial and end radial. To understand start radial and end radial you have to visualise a compass. Considering you know basic facts about a compass, the direction the needle is pointing is measured in degrees measured from 0 - 360.



There's a diagram if your confused.

So whatever way the needles facing, that can be measured in degrees. Ok time to use our imaginations again (hard work all this imagining stuff). Let's pretend we have a compass with two needles. A two needled compass, you say? Yep, a two needled compass. Ok so you have a compass with two needles. Let's also pretend we can move the neeedles at will. Let's move one needle to the 90 degrees, which is east on the compass in runescape or 3 o'clock on a standard analog clock. Let's move the other needle, to 180, which is south on runescape or 6 o'clock on a clock. Believe it or not you have just created, an imaginary start radial and end radial.
The start radial is 90 degrees and the end radial is 180 degrees. The same applies in runescape.

The start radial and end radial is the place SCAR will look between for the color you specified. I you put your start and end radial as 90 and 180 degrees, and your color as FindRoadColor, then SCAR would look for the color of the road, in between the eastern most point and the southern most point on the minimap.

So now we have:

RadialRoadWalk(FindRoadColor, 90, 180
or
RadialWalk({TheColor}, 90, 180

Radius, simply put, is the amount to look up to from the center of the minimap. This must be quite confusing, so i'll show you what I mean. If I had my color as FindRoadColor, start radial as 90, end radial as 180 and radius as 50. This diagram shows you the path were SCAR would look for that color:

So scar would look anywhere where the red lines are for the road color. Simple.

Righto, you hopefully understand the way RadialWalk works, but how do you get the right numbers to put in. I'm about to tell you about, one of the best tools included in SRL. It is called Yakmans Radial Walking aid.
Before I tell you about it, you should open it up.
The default path is C:\Program Files\SCAR 3.11\includes\SRL\scripts
There is a SCAR file in their called Radial Walking aid. Open it. Run the script and you should get a form that looks like this:

Open up your runescape client and log in your player. Open the form back up and click the button that says capture from client. You should now get the same minimap that is open in your runescape client.

If you move your mouse over it in the form, then a red line should appear. Click where you would like to walk to on the minimap and the red line should stay still.
You should now see something like this in the top left corner of the form:

By duncanb
This should have numbers next to it. Input the Radius that is up in the part of the form I just showed you, into the box named Radius, just below the place that gives you the numbers. Then, on the minimap, click a little to the left of where you just clicked. Look in the top left corner of the form for the Radial. Input the Radial that is shown, into the Start Radial box. Click a little to the right of the place you first clicked. Get the Radial and input it into the end radial box.

Click the Show Path button and it should draw some red lines on the screen. This shows the place where SCAR will look for the color you specify. If you are happy with your options click the Print Procedure button, and in the box down the bottom it should print some code.

With the code, you should have a RadialWalk and a RadialRoadWalk. You should be using one of these. Copy and paste it into your script, and edit the color. Change {Xmod} and {Ymod} to 0, edit the color, and your done. Congrats you now know how RadialWalk works, and how to use it.

This was my first tutorial so post some feedback.
Good luck.

begin
findroadcolor;//a procdure in srl to auto find roadcolor
radialroadwalk(roadcolor,0,90,65,0,0);{the first number is 
where to start searching for the second one to end 
searching so it search from n to e
the number 65 is teh radius you know the middle 
of the minimap?
that number is howfar it wil search from the middle
 from the mm
i advice you to go the scar 3.11 file and thenincludes 
then srl and then click somthing like scar programs 
there a script in it with 
yakman radialwalking aid its the best program to make walkings!(not for all but...)}end;

From: IP-Drowner
Nice tut Hairy! ;)

Also, where is yakman's Radial Walking Aid? I tried searching for it in Scripting Tools in Scar 3.11, 3.12a, 3.12b, 3.12c and it wasn't there. Also, i downloaded it from the Other Scripts section but it doesn't have the 'Capture From Client' button.

Thanks!
