there is but 1 problem
you need to be able to the bottom right corner of a biulding

well here it is

Ahem:

For 0 to 3 do
  MakeCompass('N')
  Wait(Random(20))

^ :Rolleyes:

What's the point of for 0 to 3?

Repeating it makes it more likely to be true north and will take a look at the function in a minute Waddo, but anything over 250ms is generally too slow to be useful and the being near a building will be a draw back as the main time you need true north is when walking in places where there are little distinguishable minimap parts that you can use :(

well not realya biulding just a right angle

but its prety good make compas north never actually moves if is close to north
aand never gets rite on

Checked it out and it really would be too location specific to use as I said before that true north is most useful when walking long distances :)
