SRL Archive - OSR Intermediate Scripting Tutorials

I have seen scripts are calling randoms in a wrong way:

Procedure CheckRandoms;
Begin
  FindNormalRandoms;
End;

That's wrong, if you get an unsolvable random or it couldn't solve a random, FindNormalRandoms will logout. So, if you call it inside a loop for example:

Repeat
  CheckRandoms;
  If FindTree(X, Y) Then
  Begin
    Mouse(X, Y, 5, 5, True);
.................. 

It would logout and start searching for a tree. How to call it:

Repeat
  If FindNormalRandoms Then
    If Not LoggedIn Then
      Exit;
  If FindTree(X, Y) Then
  Begin
    Mouse(X, Y, 5, 5, True);
..............

That's why FindNormalRandoms is a function, not a procedure. You could adapt it to check fights too. example:

Function Randoms: Boolean;
Begin
  Result := FindNormalRandoms;
  If FindFight Then
  Begin
    ...
    Result := True;
  End;
End;

......

If Randoms Then
Begin
  Writeln('Found random/fighting random!');
  If Not LoggedIn Then
    Exit;
End;

Thank you for reading :)

Just be sure you don't do this in your main loop, or it will accidentally terminate your script. Sometimes instead of exit; you need to use break;

That's why my woodcutter always keeps looking for the tree in Molly etc…
Thanks a ton!

Exactly. Like.. when I first didn't have any antirandoms.. people used to say: "Just add FindNormalRandoms; to somewhere. -.- , so I thought that was it. But later one day, I thought why it will search for tree in molly, I was like. :|
Forgot to mention, rep'd. :)

Hm, I always knew it was a function, but never realized it logged out. Explains a lot…

Guess you learn something new every day. ;)

E: I actually went through Reflection's and SRL's FindRandoms, and neither return true if they failed. They only return true when the random is solved. Please, correct me if I'm wrong.
