I used the FindAxe procedure to make sure that axes were in my inventory during the randoms check. I said:

if not FindAxe then
… statements …

My purpose was that if it did not find axes it would return false and then I would log out my player, well…

it didn't work. I looked over the procedure and saw something odd.

function FindAxe: Boolean;
var
  InvAxe, WieldAxe, Ix, Iy, i: Integer;
  dtmAxes: array[0..6] of Integer;

  if LoggedIn then

    case Min(WieldAxe, InvAxe) of
      1: WriteLn('Using Rune axe');
      2: WriteLn('Using Addy axe');
      3: WriteLn('Using Mith axe');

    end;
    Result := True;
    for i := 0 to 6 do
      FreeDtm(dtmAxes[i]);
  end;
end;

If you can see, before the free dtm loop it says "Result:= True;" which I believe means it will ALWAYS return a true. That would explain why my antirandom triggered improperly. If I am wrong please tell me, if I am right please fix this function ASAP.

    if(InvAxe = 7)and(WieldAxe = 7)then
    begin
      Result := False;
      Writeln('No axe was found.');
      for i := 0 to 6 do
        FreeDtm(dtmAxes[i]);
      Exit;
    end;

That means if it doesn't find an axe it will first free the DTMs then Exit the procedure. So it shouldn't always return false.

Alright, I missed the Exit; I suppose I have some debugging to do on my script since the function is working correctly. Thanks for the help.

The SRL FindAxe didn't work for me in SRL4. It kept on saying i didn't have an axe when i did.

So i just checked for the broken axe dtm.

NOOOOO! STOP THE FINDAXES!
(caps was purposely)

JaGeX made the update wcaxe head does not fall off anymore!

I'm glad you actually read the topic and then therefore assumed we were talking about axe heads falling off instead of, oh, finding an axe in your inventory or equipment tab.

Well, FindAxe was ment for checking if the axe head was gone…

Well that would make a lot more sense, I assume I can fix the problem by checking for axe dtm with max col tolerance.

Sorry for the confusion over axe head and finding axe in the inventory.
