ScriptTerminate:
A procedure that's automatically called when your script ends, even if the user clicks the Stop button.

program New;
var
  aBuffer: integer;

procedure ScriptTerminate;
begin
  if(aBuffer <> 0)then
    FreeBitmap(aBuffer);
  writeln('Resources Freed.');
  //ProgressReport;
end;

begin
  aBuffer := CreateBitmap(100, 100, '');
  //DoStuff;
end.

Note that there are also ScriptPause and ScriptResume procedures that work the same way, these can also be useful in some situations.

Cases:
No longer will huge chains of If…Else haunt your scripts!

program New;
var
  rand: integer;
begin
  rand := random(10);
  case rand of
    0: //Walk to one place
    1: //Walk to a second place
    2: //Do antiban
    3: //Idle for a few seconds
    4: //Do antirandoms
    5: //Find a bank
    6, 7, 8: //Do nothing
    9: //Give a jump for joy!
  end;
end.

Well, I'd love to put more information in this tutorial, but I really can't come up with anything else. Feel free to drop me a PM if you know of a good addition to this tutorial, or if you need help with anything.

PS: Constructive criticism more than welcome!


Thanks to:
Wizzup - ScriptPause, ScriptResume

Nice tutorial, thx

Thank you very much.

There is also ScriptPause and ScriptResume. :p
Also, add more tricks, I think this is a nice tutorial.

Thanks Wizz, added both.

Not really sure what I should put now.

Brainstorm:
advice for if-else chains
how to debug efficiently
tips for walking (various landmarks & other features that you can use)

Anything there sound good?

I'd like to read some about tips for walking (various landmarks & other features that you can use)
