Merry Christmas.
Happy New Years.
And Happy/Merry Any Other Holiday Which is Approaching.

!WARNING!
THE COMMANDS USED IN THIS TUTORIAL ARE OUTDATED. Do not use any of the Mouse (moving or clicking) commands on Runescape. Do not use the SendKeys command on Runescape either.

The include SRL (made by the generous people on this forum) has created greatly improved commands that are undetectable by Runescape. THE INTERACTIVE COMMANDS USED IN THIS TUTORIAL (mouse movement, mouse clicking, typing) ARE NOW DETECTABLE. DO NOT USE THEM ON RUNESCAPE OR YOU WILL GET BANNED. I made a short tutorial on some of the more common SRL commands. You can find that tutorial Here.

I have read many tutorials about Scar and even other language tutorials that all lack the essential details for true beginners. I have designed this lengthy, but efficient tutorial for the language of PASCAL’s little pal, Scar. Scar is a simple program for macroeing in a game called RuneScape. You can find the game here- http://www.runescape.com.

You don’t have to use Scar for RuneScape, but that is what it was intended for. This is just a small jumping stone to your career or interest in programming and creating software. I hope you enjoy your time in this tutorial and wish you the best of luck in your future.

By the way, if you have Scar 2.03 or later version and know how to use it, just skip the Requirements and Scar 2.03 to avoid a few extra minutes of reading.

–Equipment–

Hmm, let's see.

First of all you will need a functioning pc. Of course if you didn't have that, how could you be reading this?

Second thing you need is Scar version 2.03 or later. If you do not have this, download it from this URL- http://www.dylock.net/scar/.
If the location of Scar download is changed then refer to http://www.sythe.org for the new location. If that is no longer available then just search http://www.google.com.

Finally, you will need drive and must want to learn this easy language of Scar. I can not make you learn it, so you must stick with it even when it proves a little difficult.

–Personality–

One word: NEATNESS.

First thing with this is of course grammar. Especially in your comments, make sure to not abbreviate words. Also there are certain things you should capitalize and others you should leave in lower case. You will get the feeling of neatness while you look through my example codes.

Why? Well, neatness builds reputation and will help if you venture into a deeper programming language like Java, C++, or others by mending your habits right off.

–Info–

Ever heard of RuneScape? Yup, that is exactly what the program Scar was made for. Scar is a compiler. A compiler is a program that transforms what you tell (code) the program to do into computer language. The computer then does what it is told to do from this code. However, what makes Scar special for RuneScape players is that the creator Kaitnieks built in some functions or commands especially for RuneScape. Scar is now widely used for macroeing (cheating) on RuneScape.

–How to Use–

Once you download and install Scar 2.03 or later version you will be forced with the question of how to use it. It is actually very simple.

Open your Scar 2.03 or later version and read the following.

First thing you will have to do is download the Includes. Press File-Download Includes and make sure all of the boxes are checked. Then press download, or overwrite. It will take a few moments to download.

Second, a few shortcuts should be learned to avoid complications once you use your scripts. For these shortcuts, you do not need to be in Scar. "Ctrl+Alt+R" Starts the script. "Ctrl+Alt+A" pauses the script. "Ctrl+Alt+S" stops the script. "Ctrl+Alt+P" solor picker. (Copies color number into Debug Box, I'll go over colors later)

The color picker is one of the most important tools in Scar. I will explain what it does in Format-Colors. I will explain how to use it here. Click on the “Color Picker” in the Scar toolbar or just press “Ctrl+Alt+P” and click on the color you want. In the lower part of Scar (Debug Box) you will see something like this.

Color Picked: 16777215 at (182, 364)

The first big number, “16777215” is the color number.
“(182, 364)” are the coordinates or location on the screen where the color was found.

Third thing that Scar requires for RuneScape is to set the Client Window. I will now explain the purpose of this. Get ready for some simple math. If you know about computer coordinates system, skip this part.

Let's take a look at your compute screen. If you did not know, your computer is made up of pixels. Pixels are like squares of color that combined, create your screen image. Each pixel is a different coordinate. Pixels also use colors. If you have studied math, you will know that coordinates use x and y.
"X" is the distance from the origin (0) horizontally (left to right) left of 0 is negative, right is positive
'Y" is the distance from the origin (0) vertically (up to down) up of 0 is positive, down is negative
This is how it would look like.

P.S. The "Y" for computer screen coordinates is reversed.(Y becomes –Y and the other way around)



_________-Y__________
————|————
————|————
————| ————
-X———-0,0———X
————|————
————| ————
————|–5, 25—-
_________Y__________


An example of a coordinate would be this.

(5, 25)

As you can see, this coordinate is 5 to the right of 0, and 25 down from 0.
In a coordinate x always goes before y.

Now how this applies to Scar.

Now, Back to your computer screen: Most computer screens now-a-days have a resolution of at least 1024x768(Highest coordinate of 1024, 768), but everyone's is different.

Now, what setting the Client Window prevents, is miss-calculating the coordinate you do something in. Instead of letting the computer coordinates be used, this tool makes the RuneScape screen become the whole computer screen for Scar. Like this.

Before Setting Client Window

 0, 0------------------------------|
|----100,100--------------------|
|---| Rune---------|------------|
|---|----Scape-----|------------|
|---| ---------800,800----------|
----------------------------1024, 768

(How Scar Sees It)

After Setting Client Window

0, 0---------------|
|----Rune--------|
|-------Scape----|
|------------------|
|--------------700, 700

(How Scar Sees It)

As you see by setting the Client Window, Scar turns RuneScape window into the whole screen for itself.

The steps to setting the Client Window are the following.

1. Click and hold the circle around an x looking button at the end of the toolbar.
2. Drag it onto the RuneScape screen and release.
3. If you see a white box shape close in on the RuneScape screen then you did it correctly.
4. It is usually good to do it twice, just in case.

One last thing: the Debug Box. The Debug Box is the bottom text box on Scar. This text box is used for storing the color numbers, and all other information. It also displays the errors.

That’s all for explaining Scar my pupils. Now let’s begin the fun part: scripting.

+———————

 ---------------------+




+--------------------- [Format] ---------------------+

By now, you should have your Scar 2.03 or later version open. You should test some of the examples or/and even try to make your own to understand this better.

–Layout–

As you may have seen on multitudes of other Tutorials, the layout of Scar and even Pascal language is the following.

program NewExample;

begin

end.

As you can see, every script begins with program name (NewExample;). You should be able to guess, that this is for naming your script. This is not necessary but is accustomed to tell the users what the script is for. You will have to leave a space after “program” before writing the name of the program. To practice good habits, always write your program names as I have here. Have the first letter of each word in the name (not the “program”) capitalized.

For example do this

program NewExample;

and not this.

program Newexample;

Notice how in the first example every first letter of a new word in the name is capitalized.

In the program name, there can not be any spaces.

For example this would be wrong,

program New Example;

and this would be correct.

program NewExample;

Also in Scar every line ends with a ;. This excludes “begin”, the last “end”, and a few other bold words (Certain codes will turn bold when written in Scar) that we will go over later. This is not necessary but it will be necessary if you ever join another language of programming. Good habits to grow into will help.

I will post the first example again so you do not have to scroll.

program NewExample;

begin

end.

Ok, now to the next part. As you can guess, begin is the beginning of your instructions, while the end is the end of them. Begin, like program and end are going to be bold. Just for the sake of neatness try to never capitalize the words that become bold when you type them into Scar. Now you can see that after “end” there is a dot. This dot only applies to the last end.

In your procedure, you will most likely have more than one begin and end. Now, when you have more than one beginning and end, your end, on every other end than the last one, will change to this: end;.

Here is an example.

program NewExample;

begin

 begin

 end;

end.

Remember that ; is not placed after begin, the last end., and a few other codes that we will go over later.


In the following example you will see three separate begin and ends.

begin
 begin
  begin
  
  end;
 end;
end.

As you can see, I have aligned the “begin” and “end” with one extra space for every new begin and end. This format is not necessary, but once again neatness and consistency will help both you to edit your work easier, and the user to see what you have done.

We will learn what goes in the middle of this later.

–Procedures–

Now that you know a little of the layout in Scar scripts let’s learn something new: Procedures

A procedure is just a piece of the script that does something. This is difficult to explain, so I will be using some examples here.

First let’s look at the layout of a procedure.

program NewExample;

procedure Stay;
begin
  Wait(500);
end;

begin
 Stay;
end.

This is the layout. As you can see the name of the procedure is in the same format as in the program name. One thing you will notice once again, is that all lines, except for begin and the last end, end with ;. Like I said, good habits will eliminate the small errors in your future scripts.

As you can see, a procedure has its own begin and end. It can have more than one begin and end as it becomes more complex.

Now from this example you get your first glimpse of a command! “Wait(500)” is a command that tells Scar to wait 500 milliseconds. (1000 Milliseconds=1 Second) We will go through this more thoroughly later.

I will copy the example here again so you don’t have to scroll too much.

program Procedures;

procedure Stay;
begin
  Wait(500);
end;

begin
 Stay;
end.

Alright, now as you can see, after the procedure I have a second set of begin end. This is where it actually does things. You see, procedures aren’t used unless you tell the program to use it. It is like a part of the script written so that later you don’t have to write out the whole thing again. As in this example, the procedure “Stay” will now replace the need for you to write out “Wait(500)” every time you need it.

Let’s look at an example with two procedures, now.

This is an example:

program Procedures2;

procedure Write;
begin
  Writeln('Hi, you are doing very well with this learning!');
end;

procedure Stay;
begin
 Write;
  Wait(500);
end;

begin
 Stay;
end.

Don’t get scared!! I will explain this step by step.

As you can see, I have just added on to the last example. I have added the procedure “Write”. This is another command. “Writeln('')” is a command that writes what you put between '' in the Debug Box. By the way, the “l” in “Writeln” is “L”. I got this confused with “I” the first time I learned the command.

Once again, I wrote the procedure “Write” so that I would not have to go keep writing out Writeln('Hi, you are doing very well with this learning!') every time.

Now, you might see that I included the procedure “Write” in the procedure “Stay”. You may include procedures in other procedures when you write your own scripts. However, there is a rule to this.

Scar will not allow you to include a procedure if the procedure you want to include is below that location.

This may sound confusing, but think of it like this. In my first example of two procedures, I wrote out procedure “Write” and placed it before procedure “Stay” so that I could use it in there. If I had written the procedure “Stay” with the procedure “Write” included, and then typed the instructions for procedure “Write”, it would show up as an error.

If you are still confused here are examples of a correct and wrong way of including procedures.

Correct way.

program Procedures2;

procedure Write;
begin
  Writeln('Hi, you are doing very well with this learning!');
end;

procedure Stay;
begin
 Write;
  Wait(500);
end;

begin
  Stay;
end.

Wrong way.

program ProceduresBad2;

procedure Stay;
begin
 Write;
  Wait(500);
end;

procedure Write;
begin
  Writeln('Hi, you are doing very well with this learning!');
end;

begin
 Stay;
end.

Including procedures will be very helpful when your scripts become more and more complex. Just remember the rule.

If you still do not understand it, try to look at the examples and notice the differences.

–Colors–

From the title you may be saying, “Has this guy gone bunkers, what does this have anything to do with colors?” Well, no I’m not crazy, and Scar has everything to do with colors. Scar in itself even has a color picker! (“Ctrl+Alt+P”) If you have read my long explanation of coordinates, (Congratulations on finishing it by the way) you will notice that I included the fact that pixels store colors. Now every color has a number. Yup, that’s right. What the Color Picker does is it finds the colors number. Another surprise! Colors have numbers. (When you pick a color with scar the number will appear in the Debug Box) This number can then be used in functions/commands to search for the color and do something with it. (We will explore these functions/commands later)

–Comments–

Sometimes, while you write a script you will want to make a note or two or maybe a few dozen. Comments are used for this very reason. Along with this you can also give users information on the constants that they fill in. (We will explore this in the next chapter)

There are two ways to write a comment.

The first way is by putting // in front of the comment.
Here is an example.

program ExampleComment1; //This is the program name

begin

end.

The second way is by using {}. During this sort of comment you must not forget to set }. If you forget that, your whole script from { will become a comment.
Here is an example.

program ExampleComment2; {This is the program name}

begin

end.

Try copying these two examples to Scar. As you will see, comments turn green.

+——————— [Format] ———————+




+——————— [Variables and Constants] ———————+


–Variables and Constants–

Variables and Constants may be hard to understand until you use them.

First of all, both variables and constants come after the program name and before anything else.

This is an example:

program VarAndConst;

var

const

begin

end.

Let’s look up close at variables first. Just like constants, variables store information. However, variables differ from constants because variables can be changed throughout the whole script. (Hence the name variables [varied]) I will come back to this a little later.

There are four basic types of variables: Integer, String, Boolean, Extended.
I won't cover others, because they are of no use to you until you are more advanced.

Integer-Stores a positive or negative whole number
Extended-Stores any numbers (Including decimals)
String-Stores any characters (Mostly used for Writeln or SendKeys)
Boolean-Stores the values “True” and “False”

First, let’s learn how to include them. To include a variable you must first write var. Afterwards you can either skip a line or just start on the line below this. Now first you have to decide which variables you will need. This could be one letter or a word, but try to make it something that makes sense. Don’t put anything random. If this is hard to understand just follow my example.

This is an example:

program VariablesExample1;

var
i: Integer;
Greeting: String;
Yes: Boolean;

//Rest of the script

As you can see, I included an integer, a string, and a boolean.

Let’s look at these one by one.

First there is the integer. Now, if you aren’t too shabby at math, you will remember that integers are whole numbers. They can never have a decimal or fraction. They can also be either positive or negative. In scripting, integers are just this.

The most common integers are x and y. What these two integers most likely store are coordinates. X is for the x coordinates (First part of coordinate) and Y is for the y coordinates. (Second part of coordinate) Of course you can use other letters for this, but x and y is the most common way to go.

To use integers, you must first declare them. What this means is you have to tell the program what the integer is. For example if I had the integer “i”, I would have to tell the program what i stands for.

Here is an example:

program VariablesExample2;

var
i: Integer;

begin
 i:=0;
//Rest of the script
end.

In this example, I first inserted the integer in the var section. I then declared what the integer equals in the part I wanted to use it.

Now the great thing about variables, as I have said before, is that they can be changed for different parts of your script. For example, if in one of your procedures, you want the integer “i” to equal 0 and for another procedure you want it to equal 7, you can do that!

Here is an example:

program VariablesExample3;

var
i: Integer;

procedure IntegerIsZero;
begin
 i:=0;
//Rest of the procedure
end;

procedure IntegerIsSeven;
begin
 i:=7;
//Rest of the procedure
end;

begin
 IntegerIsZero;
  IntegerIsSeven;
end.

As you can see, you can use a variable in two different places and have it stand for two different things.

Now the variable extended is used the exact same way, except that it stores mixed numbers instead of whole ones. (Numbers with decimals or fractions) As a beginner you will most likely not use until a little while longer, so just don’t worry about it for now.

Alright, now let’s look into strings. Unlike, integers, strings can store any number, letter or symbol. They are mainly used to store characters for functions like Writeln or SendKeys. Once again, since this is a variable we can change it for different parts of the script. Let’s look at an example.

This is an example.

program StringExample1;

var
Greeting: String;

procedure Say1;
begin
 Greeting:='Hello';
  Writeln(Greeting);
end;

procedure Say2;
begin
 Greeting:='Yo!';
  Writeln(Greeting);
end;

begin
 Say1;
  Say2;
end.

In this example, I used the string “Greeting” in two procedures. I declared Greeting as two different things. Go ahead, try this in Scar and change it up a bit.

Now-the boolean. This was the hardest variable for me to understand, and I see now that it is pretty difficult to explain. I will try my best.

As I have defined boolean in the beginning, a boolean just means true or false. Now what confused me when I first started was how to use it. However later I realized that you will almost never use booleans as variables. Once you get more advanced, you will find a use for it, but for now let’s just learn how it works.

Pascal and Scar work in this format: if, then, else.

What this format does is ask tells scar: If this is this, then do this, if it is not then do this. Here is an example to explain this a little better.

This is an example:

program ExampleIfThenElse;

var
i: Integer;

begin
i:=0;
 begin
if(i=0) then
  begin
  Writeln('I is zero');
  end else
  Writeln('I is not zero');
 end;
end.

This is how to use if, then, and else.

I first declared that I is zero. then I began my if, then, else sequence. I told the program: If i is zero, then write i is zero in the debug box. However if i is not zero, then write i is not zero in the debug box.

Study the layout and try to change a few things up to learn it a little better.

Now, by now you should be wondering how this applies to boolean. Well, remember that boolean stands for true or false. As I have said before, boolean in variables is mostly used just by Scar. You cannot see the boolean, but it is there.

Here is how it works. Let’s look at my script again.

This is an example.

program ExampleIfThenElse;

var
i: Integer;

begin
i:=0;
 begin
if(i=0) then
  begin
  Writeln('I is zero');
  end else
  Writeln('I is not zero');
 end;
end.

As you can see, if i is zero then it does something, otherwise it does something else. What boolean does is this. Scar checks if i is zero. “If” i is zero, then Scar returns the value that this is true. “Then” if “If” is true (i really is zero), then it does what you tell it after then. However, if the value of “If” returns as false (I is not zero), you tell it what to do using end else.

Remember this little fact. You do not have to use if, then, else. However, it makes your script much neater and easier to look at. Also, if you use this layout, you don’t necessarily need “end else”. If you don’t tell it what to do if the value is returned false, it just won’t do anything.

This might be hard to understand, but just don’t worry about it yet if you don’t understand it. However, you should still learn the layout of if, then, and else. Once you are more advanced, come back here and see if you can understand it.



Constants!

These babies are very useful and are very easy compared to variables. You will mainly use these for declaring colors. Just like for variables, use names that make sense. This is especially important for constants because this will mostly be used to create options for the user.

Alright, let’s explain what constants are used for first. Constants are the exact same as variables except that you cannot change them during the script. This is good for letting the user choose colors for a fighting script or text for an auto talker.

This is how to set a constant up.

This is an example.

program ExampleConstant1;

const
GroundColor= 0;//Set the color of the ground here
TreeColor= 452789;//Set the color of the tree here

//Rest of the script

Constants are declared as soon as they are written.

Now let’s look at a new function for finding colors and use a constant for the color.

This is an example.

program ExampleConstant2;

var
x,y: Integer;

const
FishColor= 19245;//Set the color of the fish

begin
if(FindColor(x,y,FishColor,0,0,600,600)) then
 begin
  Writeln('Found Fish');
 end else
  Writeln('Did not find Fish');
end.

Let’s look at this step by step. You already know about the program part. Look at the variables I have declared. I have declared x and y as integers. (Whole numbers) You will see how I use them later. Now as you should already know, I have declared the FishColor constant in the beginning of the script. Now I started the script with the format of if, then, else.

You should already understand this. If you do not, you should look back and study it a bit. Alright, now I will explain the procedure, “FindColor” quickly. First think you will notice, is the x and y. Now, I have declared these integers in the beginning for the reason of using them in this function. The “x,y” are just there to fill in the coordinates where Scar finds the color. The “FishColor” is the constant that we have set earlier. Instead of FishColor you could have just wrote the color number. The last part, “0,0,600,600” tells Scar from where, upper left, to where, lower right, to search for this color.

In this way, I transferred the color “FishColor” into the function.

Ok, now once you’ve mastered this, let’s move on. You know how to use constants to transfer colors, now let’s look at how to transfer booleans and strings. These are both very easy, and you should understand them from this example.

This is an example.

program ExampleConstants3;

const
ShallWeWrite=True;//True to Type, False not to Type
Write='Hi'; 

begin
if(ShallWeWrite=True) then
 begin
  Writeln(Write);
 end;
end.

In this script we have used both a boolean and a string as a constant. We used boolean by asking the user to write True if he/she wants the program to write and then we asked what to write.

That’s pretty much all for constants. Constants are very fun when you start including options with True and False.

Have Fun!

+——————— [The Middle] ———————+


–Functions/Commands–

If you have gotten this far, then I will most certainly congratulate you because you just came to the center of Scar. These commands all came out with Scar's first release. They are pretty old (Especially functions like MoveMouse, ClickMouse, and SendKeys) Includes (you will learn in next chapter) are used to produce newer, undetectable functions. You can find the basic ones at http://www.villavu.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6366. For now, just learn these old ones for practice.

<Wait>

This is an example:

  Wait(1000);

This command, though very simple, is essential if you wish to auto in RuneScape or most other games. What this function does is it waits the number of milliseconds you designate it. If this stood by itself, then it would not be very useful. However, there is a randomizer that makes this function more human.

This is an example:

  Wait(1000+random(200));

As you see here, I have added &#8220;+random(200)&#8221;. What this does, is instead of always waiting 1000 milliseconds (Which is very noticeable) It waits a random of 200 extra random milliseconds. With this, the function could wait 1025 milliseconds or 1167 milliseconds.

We will explore the randomizer option a bit later.

You must remember that &#8220;1000miliseconds = 1second&#8221;.

<Keys>

This is an example:

program TypeExample1;

begin
  Writeln('Hi');
  Wait(1000+random(100));
  SendKeys('Hello');
end.

Here are two of the functions to type.

The first is &#8220;Writeln&#8221;. (&#8221;l&#8221; is &#8220;L&#8221; not &#8220;i&#8221;) This function types what you insert between &#8220;('')&#8221; in the Debug Box. (lower screen of Scar) This function is used to display the script user with information like how long the script has been running. We will learn to do this in the &#8220;Other&#8221; section of this tutorial.

Next we have &#8220;Wait&#8221;. Refer to the above function description if you have not yet.

Finally we have &#8220;SendKeys&#8221;. This function will serve you in your first few scripts where you will probably create an auto-talker.

The function types whatever you place between &#8220;('')&#8221; into the text box you are currently focused on. With Scar, you may have to set the Client Window on the text box.

Now you may wonder how you make the function press enter. This is very simple.

This is an example:

program TypeExample2;

begin
  SendKeys('Hello'+chr(13));
end.

As you can guess, &#8220;chr(13)&#8221; represents the key &#8220;enter&#8221;.

<Color>

This is an example:

program FindColorExample1;

var
x,y: Integer;

begin
  FindColor(x,y,293419,577,7,727,163);
end.

Oh, don&#8217;t get scared now. Let&#8217;s take this step by step.

This function finds the color that you tell it to find (&#8220;293419&#8221; in this example) and saves the place where it found the color in &#8220;x,y&#8221;.

The &#8220;x,y&#8221; in the function are just empty integers that are waiting to be filled with the location in which the color is. To use this function you would have to tell the program that x and y are integers as I have done at &#8220;x,y: Integer;&#8221;.

Next we have the color number. (293419) The color number can be replaced by a constant as you have learned in your previous lessons.

Finally there is &#8220;577,7,727,163&#8221;. This goes all the way back to the first lesson. This part of the function tells Scar where to look for the color. &#8220;577,7&#8221; are the coordinates for the top left corner and &#8220;727,163&#8221; are coordinates for the bottom right corner of the square in which Scar looks for the color.

&#8220;FindColor&#8221; looks for the color from the top left corner to the lower right corner of the square you tell it to look in. To understand this, let&#8217;s take a look at this example.

Let&#8217;s say that you want to look for color &#8220;242&#8221; in &#8220;0,0,100,100&#8221;. Now there are two objects in between those coordinates.

The first object had the color 242 and is at the coordinates 25,30. The second object had the same color of 242, but was at the coordinates 75,80. Which object do you think Scar will go to first? It will go to the first object, because it searches from the top left corner to the bottom right corner.

Here is another function to do with color.

This is an example:

program FindColorExample2;

var
x,y: Integer;

begin
  FindColorSpiral(x,y,293419,577,7,727,163);
end.

This function is the same as FindColor, except that it is used to find colors that take up a lot of space.

<Mouse>

This is an example:

program MoveMouseExample1;

begin
  MoveMouse(25,250);
  Wait(100);
  ClickMouse(25,250,true);
end.

This example moves the mouse to the coordinates 25,250 and then clicks there.

&#8220;MoveMouse&#8221; moves the mouse to the coordinates you place between &#8220;()&#8221;.

Refer to a previous lesson for the &#8220;Wait&#8221; function.

&#8220;ClickMouse&#8221; clicks the mouse at the coordinates you place between &#8220;()&#8221;. The &#8220;true&#8221; stands for clicking the left mouse button, while if you put &#8220;false&#8221; in that position Scar will right-click.

true = left mouse button
false = right mouse button

This is an example:

program MoveMouseExample2;

begin
  MoveMouse(25+random(2),250-random(20));
end.

Here you see that I have added randoms to the coordinates. Yup! You can do that.

&#8220;25+random(2)&#8221; will tell Scar to move the mouse anywhere from 25-27 for the coordinate x and &#8220;250-random(20)&#8221; will tell Scar to move the mouse anywhere from 230-250 for the y coordinate.


Let&#8217;s explore some other forms of the function &#8220;MoveMouse&#8221;.

This is an example:

program MoveMouseExample3;

begin
  MoveMouseSmooth(25,250);
end.

This function works the same as &#8220;MoveMouse&#8221; except that it moves it slower and softer. Experiment with it to see the difference.

This is an example:

program MoveMouseExample4;

begin
  MoveMouseSmoothEx(25,250+random(0),20,40,45,25,20);
end.

This function is the same as &#8220;MoveMouseSmooth&#8221; except that it moves the mouse more humanlike. The last part that starts with &#8220;+random&#8221; are options for humanlike response. Press F1 in Scar and scroll down to MoveMouseSmoothEx to see the options for this.


Let&#8217;s explore a few other forms of the function &#8220;ClickMouse&#8221;

This is an example:

program ClickMouseExample1;

begin
  HoldMouse(25,250,true);
  Wait(100);
  ReleaseMouse(25,250,true);
end.

&#8220;HoldMouse&#8221; clicks and holds the mouse as clicked. This is good if you want to highlight something with the mouse. &#8220;true&#8221; stands for the left mouse button. &#8220;false&#8221; in that position would tell Scar to right click and hold.

Refer to a previous lesson for description of &#8220;Wait&#8221; function.

&#8220;ReleaseMouse&#8221; works alongside &#8220;HoldMouse&#8221; and releases the mouse from being held as clicked. &#8220;true&#8221; acts the same as in &#8220;ClickMose&#8221; and &#8220;HoldMouse&#8221; functions.


Now let&#8217;s combine our knowledge and use a color function with a mouse function.

This is an example:

program CombineExample1;

var
x,y: Integer;

const
MonsterColor = 293491;

begin
if(FindColor(x,y,MonsterColor,0,0,100,100)) then
 begin
  MoveMouseSmoothEx(x,y +random(0),20,40,45,25,20);
  Wait(100+random(10));
  ClickMouse(x,y,true);
 end;
end.

Look over this example carefully. In this example, Scar does the following: If it finds the &#8220;MonsterColor&#8221; then it will move the mouse to the coordinates of where it finds the color and then click at those coordinates.

As you have learned in the description of &#8220;FindColor&#8221;, x and y in the function store the coordinates in which the color is found. If the color is found, the coordinates are stored in x,y and we can use them to tell Scar where to click.

<Bitmap>

If you do not know, bitmap is an image type. Sometimes in a script you want the compiler (Scar in this case) to find an image instead of a color. That is what you would use the following for.

If you have the image of the object you wish to find, you must convert it to bitmap file type. Search http://www.google.com to find a free program that does this for you.

Next, Scar requires you to place the image on a black background. Thus, only the object you wish to find is looked for and not the background as well. Open paint or any other image editing tool and paint the background black. As well as this, make the object centered so that it is in the center of the black background. Also, make the image as small as possible while still capturing your whole object.

Now save it and we will continue learning how to use it.

Ok, now open Scar and follow these steps.

On top of the there is a toolbar with &#8220;File, Edit, View, etc.&#8221;

1. Click Script and then click on Picture to String.
2. A window will pop up
3. Click Open
4. Open the bitmap you want to use
5. Click Paste
6. Click OK
7. Look on the bottom in the Debug Box and you will see a code something like-

  Fish := BitmapFromString(8, 11, 'z78DA33302007B801C16015C7C5A6A' +
       '77A62F4E252894CD21F0000D64369E1');

-Except it will most likely be much longer.
&#8220;Fish&#8221; in this example is the name of the bitmap.

8. Now we will need to create a variable for the bitmap.

This is an example:

program BitmapExample1;

var
Fish: Integer;

begin
end.

As you see, you must declare the bitmap as an integer before using it.

9.Now we must load the bitmap at the beginning of the script.
This is an example:

program BitmapExample2;

var
Fish: Integer;

begin
  Fish := BitmapFromString(8, 11, 'z78DA33302007B801C16015C7C5A6A' +
       '77A62F4E252894CD21F0000D64369E1');
end.

That is how you. You don&#8217;t necessarily have to do this in the beginning. You could load the bitmap right before you use it. If you do, however, wish to just load all your bitmaps in the beginning, it is better to create a procedure with all the bitmaps loaded in it.

This is an example:

program BitmapExample3;

var
Fish: Integer;

procedure LoadBmps;
begin
  Fish := BitmapFromString(8, 11, 'z78DA33302007B801C16015C7C5A6A' +
       '77A62F4E252894CD21F0000D64369E1');
end;

begin
 LoadBmps;
//Do whatever
end.

As you see, I loaded the bitmap in the procedure and then just included the procedure in the final part of the script.

The function &#8220;FreeBitmap&#8221; releases the loaded bitmap.

This is an example:

program BitmapExample4;

var
Fish: Integer;

procedure LoadBmps;
begin
  Fish := BitmapFromString(8, 11, 'z78DA33302007B801C16015C7C5A6A' +
       '77A62F4E252894CD21F0000D64369E1');
end;

procedure FreeBmps;
begin
  FreeBitmap(Fish);
end;

begin
 LoadBmps;
//Do whatever
 FreeBmps;
end.

You see, the trouble with bitmap is that it uses up memory. On a low memory computer, this will slow it down greatly. Try avoiding using bitmaps as much as possible.

Alright, now that you know how to load a bitmap, let&#8217;s learn how to use it.

This is an example:

program BitmapExample5;

var
Fish: Integer;
x,y: Integer;

procedure LoadBmps;
begin
  Fish := BitmapFromString(8, 11, 'z78DA33302007B801C16015C7C5A6A' +
       '77A62F4E252894CD21F0000D64369E1');
end;

procedure UseBitmap;
begin
if(FindBitmap(Fish,x,y)) then
 begin
  MoveMouseSmoothEx(x,y+random(0),20,40,45,25,20);
  Wait(1000+random(100));
  ClickMouse(x,y,true);
 end;
end;

procedure FreeBmps;
begin
  FreeBitmap(Fish);
end;

begin
 LoadBmps;
  UseBitmap;
 FreeBmps;
end.

As you see, &#8220;FindBitmap&#8221; is the function to find the bitmap on the whole screen. This function searches the whole screen. &#8220;Fish&#8221; in the example is the bitmap name that you want to find. &#8220;x,y&#8221; is where the coordinates of the bitmap will be stored.

As in FindColor, FindBitmap looks from the top left corner to the bottom right corner.

The other version of &#8220;FindBitmap&#8221; is &#8220;FindBitmapIn&#8221;. &#8220;FindBitmapIn&#8221; is the same as &#8220;FindBitmap&#8221; except that you set the box where Scar looks in.

This is an example:

program BitmapExample6;

var
Fish: Integer;
x,y: Integer;

procedure LoadBmps;
begin
  Fish := BitmapFromString(8, 11, 'z78DA33302007B801C16015C7C5A6A' +
       '77A62F4E252894CD21F0000D64369E1');
end;

procedure UseBitmap;
begin
if(FindBitmapIn(Fish,x,y,0,0,100,100)) then
 begin
  MoveMouseSmoothEx(x,y+random(0),20,40,45,25,20);
  Wait(1000+random(100));
  ClickMouse(x,y,true);
 end;
end.

procedure FreeBmps;
begin
  FreeBitmap(Fish);
end;

begin
 LoadBmps;
  UseBitmap;
 FreeBmps;
end.

As you see, FindBitmapIn just adds the last part. The coordinates 0,0 to 100,100 is where Scar will look for the bitmap &#8220;Fish&#8221;.

<Other>

This is an example:

program DebugExample1;

begin
  ClearDebug;
end.

&#8220;ClearDebug&#8221; clears the debug box on the bottom of Scar.

This is an example:

program IntToStrExample1;

var
i: Integer;

begin
 i:=0;
  Writeln('i is ' +IntToStr(i) +'.');
end.

&#8220;IntToStr&#8221; takes the integer you put between &#8220;()&#8221; and places its value into what you want to type out. This is good in creating progress reports.

–Random–

Randomization is essential to RuneScape and many other game cheating. Randomizing wait times and clicking location makes the macro seem more human.

Even if you intend to spend your time scripting for things other than macroeing, randomization will help you.

This how to randomize a &#8220;Wait&#8221; function:

  Wait(1000+random(100));

Scar will now wait anywhere from 1000 to 1100 seconds.

This is how to randomize &#8220;MoveMouse&#8221; function:

  MoveMouse(25+random(2),35-random(10));

Scar will now move the mouse anywhere from 25 to 27 for x coordinate and 25 to 35 for y coordinate.

This is how to randomize an integer:

program RandomIntegerExample;

var
i: Integer;

begin
 i:=random(5);
  Writeln('i is ' +IntToStr(i) +'.');
end.

Try this example out. You will see that i will now vary and randomly be anywhere from 0 to 4. The thing you have to remember about randomizing integers is that it will be 0 to the number before what you put. So if you put &#8220;i:=random(10);&#8221; then i could be 0 to 9, but it can not be 10.

–Loops/Until–

Have you ever wondered, &#8220;How does the script keep going after it&#8217;s done something once?&#8221;

This is what programmers call &#8220;loops&#8221;. If someone refers to a loop it means that the program starts from a position where you tell it to start again from. Let&#8217;s see how to set loops up.

This is an example:

program LoopsExample1;

var
i: Integer;

begin
 i:= 0;
repeat
  i:= i + 1;
  Writeln('This will go on 10 times.');
until(i >= 10); 
end.

As you can see, first we state that i is 0. Then we type repeat. Then we tell Scar that every time a loop is done, it will add 1 to i. After this we tell Scar what actions to perform. Finally, you place &#8220;until&#8221; and between &#8220;()&#8221;, you write &#8220;i>=&#8221; and the number of loops you want Scar to go through. (How many times you want it to do what you put between repeat and until)

Along with this, you can make Scar repeat forever. (until you press stop or press ctrl+alt+s)
To do this follow this example:

program LoopsExample2;

begin
repeat
  Writeln('This will go on forever.');
until(false); 
end.

As you can see, to tell Scar to repeat forever, all you need is "repeat" at the beginning and "until(false)" at the end.

You can also use this repeat/until process to tell Scar to stop when something happens.

This is an example:

program LoopsExample3;

var
i,x,y: Integer;

begin
 i:= 0;
repeat
  i:= i + 1;
if(FindColor(x,y,10023,0,0,100,100)) then
 begin
  MoveMouseSmoothEx(x,y+random(0),20,40,45,25,20);
 end;
until(not(FindColor(x,y,10023,0,0,100,100))); 
end.

As you see here, I told Scar to find the color and move the mouse over it. It will keep doing this until it does not find the color.

+——————— [Finalization] ———————+


–Includes–

Remember in the beginning when we were talking about procedures? Well, this is the reason why. &#8220;Includes&#8221; is a way to use these procedures in other scripts so you don&#8217;t have to rewrite them.
Follow this layout to use includes:

program IncludesExample;

{.include Miner.scar}

//rest of the scripts

One thing you must know, is that to use includes, they must be in either the same folder as the script you&#8217;re creating or the &#8220;Includes&#8221; folder in the Scar directory. (Where you installed Scar to)

You do not need to have them there, but if you do not then you have to write out the whole destination after &#8220;.include &#8220;.

All includes must go after program and before anything else.

The most common of all includes is SRL. This SRL was created by expert programmers to make your work easier. Includes will help you greatly when you become more experienced with Scar, but for now just ignore them.

–Good Luck–

Now that you have read this whole tutorial, you must be tired. Rest and then try to make a few simple scripts using the functions I provided for you. If you want to dig deeper into functions (I have not explained every single function) then press F1 while in Scar.

I hope this tutorial has helped you. If you find anything confusing or wrong please tell me by emailing me at [email]WhoCares_357@yahoo.com[/email] or posting in a thread if this tutorial is in one. If you want some help I might also be able to assist you. I am sorry if I delay in answering you, for I may be busy at the time. Thank you and good luck in your scripting career.

awesome tut i read it all in one sitting. i understand scar that much more!

Thanks for feedback guys. I fixed a few errors in the script examples.

Thank you soo much for making this [TUT]!

It helped clear up alot of problems I was having.

I highly reccomend this for anyone who wants to learn to script.

Very nice, well structured and very informative.

10/10, keep up the nice work

-Mad Cow

stickyfied.

ty for this i managed to build my first script its in rs non srl scripts section!!!!

is there any srl tutorials???

Idk, I would like to look at one myself. If you find one, please pm me.

I really like this tutoial, very easy to understand for people who are learning scar scriptin. Good work.

Wow, this is big! It needs chapters :S

Thanks for all the feedback guys. I made this guide for the public, and I am glad that the majority appreciate it.

hey thanks man this helped me tons!

ty its very helpful

Great Tutorial! you++

Thanks for the information, I will hopefully try to use it to a good macro (is that an oxymoron?)

Thanks for the information, I will hopefully try to use it to a good macro (is that an oxymoron?)

Lol, it kinda is since macros are against the rules.

This tutorial is 100% useful, it really answered ALL my questions… every time I was like "what about when this happens" you jumped right onto it.

you'll be seeing some newbie scripts soon.

its not the first time scripting in general but this is the most complex scripting i've ever encountered. Although it resembles alot like programming.

thanks again!

Glad I could help.

As you can see, this coordinate is 5 to the right of 0, and 25 up from 0.

would that be down? instead of up?

nice guide

Man this is awesome! Thanks man! 10/10!

ppl plz help i got problem with scar cordonates
this is my simple script

program New;
begin
clickmouse(256,254,true);
end.

it always go in right down corner :duh: plz ppl help idk what to do

ohh forget i just re instal all and start scripting =)

Wow,This is great the only bit I dont understand is "Variables And Constants"

What's you msn? I'll help you a bit with that.

This script was so helpful…Except I started getting lost when we started talking about bitmaps and such…Or maybe because it's 12:00 a.m. and it took me 2 hours to read…=p

Otherwise, GREAT guide.:spot:

How do I hide it on google?

WhoCares357, are you going to continue this tutorial to include anti-randoms, etc. With some of the more complex stuff? You could create a guide going from the simplest of simple, to the hardest of hard? You've already got the simples down. =p
Anyway, as I said before, great guide, and I've re-read it 3 times to make sure I soaked everything up…:spongebob:

-Dunceiam

Edit:Would Adobe Photoshop serve as a bitmap converter?

Adobe might, but there are many good freeware that do that for you. (download.com)

BTW, I'm working on another tutorial. This one will be for noobs also (sorry to disappoint all you who need to learn anti-randoms). This guide will serve as a kind of reference to the other one.

It will come out in a week or so (I hope).

great stuff certainly boosted my knowledge. but i don't really get the whole co ordinates thing. and i can't get it to actually do anything lmao. it just says succesfully compiled and executed etc.
Yeah i'm super noob could so yeah could you just help me out? thx

Wow this is exactly wht i have been looking for, I will have to go over it a few times but every time i try to learn scar scripting i find it so hard, Hopefully this will clear things up for me!

Thank You!

Nice tutorial, I read it all and it was great :spot: Write more tutorials I wanna learn more! :) You write so good and it's legible, I soaked it up like a dry sponge on water!

i got one question. If i'm trying to find a color in a box then how do i make it not say invalid number of parimeters?

hey…how do u make it move the mouse then click a couple times then move the mouse again and keep on moving? ty

EDIT: i figured it out :] expect a tutorial island runner from me :]

btw tysm for the tut really nice :]

sorry whocares357 for not posting sooner. i read this post 8 days ago, and since then I have been determined to learn scripting devoting 3-4 hours a day to reading tuts and learning SRL functions/procedures. I forgot to say thanks for helping me get started in scripting :) this in my opinion is the best beginner guide ever. +rep
oh and i thought I'd let you know, because of you I have my very first power miner coming out, its an uber script and i hope a lot of people like it :) i put you in the thanks section of it.

very nicely done… will try and make something up when i get a bit of time.

Make sure that you put the correct stuff in the right place. It has to be FindColor(x,y: the coordinates to store location of found color, 2834286:The color number, x1,y1,x2,y2: the coordinates to search within);

thanks for the awsome tutorial, its helped me out alot, :)

Very nice tutorial for beginners. It helped me alot. I took a Pascal course in 10th grade, I forgot most everything and this really helped me brush up on the language cause i want to learn to script. You explained things better than my teacher lol :). The good news is its all coming back to me :D

is pascal very similar to scar? i thought they had certain similarities, but i didn't think they were that similar :p most of the functions/procedures we use in scar they don't have in pascal do they?

I'm doing a bunch of pascal right now and it's kinda similar. The function names are different (Delay is Wait), but other things are the same like writeln.

Variables are a bit different types. Instead of extended there is real type for instance.

Pascal uses "includes" also. They call them units. There's some good tutorials on google. Check it out.

It is pretty old lol. I don't know any modern software made with it (Except for Scar of course) but it's much easier than modern languages. I recommend learning it to unerstand basic stuff about programming (loops, variables, types, etc.)

Well i do know intermediate HTML, some JAVA, SQL, ADO, ASP a little flash, and i kind of know pascal from scar i guess :p so pascal maybe easy for me to learn for me just because I've studied so many other languages.
Do you have MSN? if so could you pm it to me/post it here?

It was heplful thanks.

obviously the best guide ive ever seen, but i would have prefered more talk about coords as i understand that it is like math, but not how u get the excact coords but overall GREat guide

THanks

From: qweqwe
obviously the best guide ive ever seen, but i would have prefered more talk about coords as i understand that it is like math, but not how u get the excact coords but overall GREat guide

THanks

You would use the little pen in the scar toolbar to get the exact coord. Click the pen, click where you want to get the coord, and look on the botttom of scar. It will show the color number and the coord of where you clicked.

wow this was WAY easier than i thought
maybe because i know pretty good delphi so i knew how things worked but all the other things that are doable in scar wil help me make a script
now, i just have to find where do learn how to do radial walking

great guide, this will defiately come in handy when i write my first script! :)

ive read 4 guides, and by far this one has helped me the most

Thx alot, i read the whole thing, I was completly new to scripting, and it was verry easy to understand(except some parts)
I now know the basics to scripting :) thx alot

Wow man thanks a lot I am really good at some programming languages, so I am used to this stuff, but I never found how to work with SCAR. Tried your tutorial, too perfect, it helped me a lot! I took your fish color example and followed your tutorial, improving it. Now it's a Hopeless Creature finder (I was doing A soul's bane while learning, lol), and if it finds a creature your RuneScape character will say funny stuff like "Hehe! I fell no hopelessness around me!", if he doesn't find any Hopeless Creatures LOL :D Thanks once more!

Glad it helped.

Really good tut.
I dont know are these things too hard for a basic tutorial, but
could you tell me what are TPoints, how to use them , what are they.
My guess is that TPoints are coordinates example x,y.

Don't know myself, sorry. :/

I've read the whole of it. Thank u very much for writing everything out. :)

This is the best tutorial ever for scripting, anyone can understand it, its so easy to read and understand bro out of 10 i give 1000!


:D best tutorial on scripts eva!:spot:

^Glad you noticed. BTW guys, I have released my next tut. It is called hands on because its hands on (duh). Hope you like it:

wow. thanks, i can really use this

nice tut man, helped me out lots, im learning as i go. ill go check out your new tut soon and comment

So you are Who Cares from sythe?
I remember you.
As far as I can remember, you were a damn good member of sythe :P

Very nice tutorial helped me alot :D

I've been insanely busy with school for so long, and I really wanted to learn to SCAR script, but I never got 'round to it. This tutorial is very helpful, and I couldn't stop reading, so I finished all at once. It really helps a lot; it helped me understand things I could never figure out before. Thanks a bunch!

Thanks man, really helped me with my scripts.

great stuff bud.

i am fluent in visual basic and this tutorial really helped me connect the two languages.

:) thanks a bunch

This was a great [tut]. I might get working on a auto now.

whoa thanks you this is exactly what i was looking for. you are great!

Thanks from this but now i have to go sleep im tired and clock is 22.45 :)

Awesome guide, it's helping me a lot. I noticed an error though (h)

Where you said

program RandomIntegerExample;
 
var
i: Integer;
 
begin
 i=random(5);
  Writeln('i is ' +IntToStr(i) +'.');
end.

It should be

program RandomIntegerExample;
 
var
i:= Integer; // Here's where the error is. You need to put a "="
 
begin
 i=random(5);
  Writeln('i is ' +IntToStr(i) +'.');
end.

That's all i noticed. Gonna go finish reading now :D

Edit: Yeah you're right, i dunno why i thought that. From what i remember it got an error, and then when i put that in it worked, but i dunno. Doesn't matter though =/

Nice dude!! this was a big help

thank you very much

EDIT :: new to autoing, actully in var you dont need the "=". You would need the "=" in the "i:= randon(5)" part.

Thanks for the correction, guys. Will fix right away.

nice guide tyvm was my first guide that i learn about scar scripting from :D

Thank you very much I am just beginning and it has helped me out lots the only this is i have a short attention span and i did this in 1 sitting so i dont know how much i will remeber might read through it 2-3more times then move on to the next. Try to write a auto talker

Oh yeah, i will most defienatly start Scripting now. And thanks to this guide things will go 25x Easier, Thx bro. =)


Woot

Hehe, thanks a lot man. I just made a script which deleted 1317 layers on ImageReady. (I was trying to make a huge animation, but I animated it too quickly, so I wanted it deleted.) Got it deleting 1 layer every milli-second which was a ton faster then me clicking 1317 times myself :).

(Yes, this is coming from a person with 500 posts, but I never have the time to learn SCAR 'til now :))

-Dunceiam

its so detailed i got half way through then needed to take a break.
Thanks alot.

now im a bit less noobie in scripting:)
thanks!!

Thanx!
Helped me heaps. Went from knowing nothing 2 something!

Very nice tut. 10/10

Ehm… I can't pick new colors! I did… but now i can't do it anymore, it's like
i'm at SCAR, i press Ctrl + P
now i can choose a colour, but my runescape minimized right after i pressed ctrl+p

Try have scar to the side and RuneScape in the background.

My firefox minimizes…

BTW: i forgot to say… Great tut!

EDIT: Problem solved

This really helped me… thx:)

Thank you, very nice tut. Clean and well written. Im going to try to make yet another autospammer!

Thanks whocares

This has just started my scripting carrer
Icefire suggested this to me and it is a really good one. :)
Im still shaky on the variables though

May I ask, your code seems…. as if it must go from top to bottom. I didn't see it if it's there, but does SCAR require code to go top to bottom and not in anyway we find fit?

Basically from my question, I basically learned some object calling stuff from your tutorial. Thanks!

Yup. Scar reads your script like a book. It starts at the left of line one and goes right until it reaches the end of the page. Then it goes to line 2. Also, Scar does not see lines (which is why we sometimes need ; at the end of commands and procedures). The order is flexible, however.

The program Name; must come first. Then you can distribute these three things as you like: procedures, variables, constants. You must finally have the main loop (the last begin and end). Scar will read the whole script, but it will only do what is in the main loop.

nice tut man, helped alot!

thx very nice

thank you that was very helpful

Wow mate. Your a bloody legend! Cheers:)

Thank you…I would just like to say that I am happy i read this because it cleared a lot of things up

thanks you so much man,

this is the first day of many for me to try to learn pascal laguange and scripting. I got one Question though. When you go through the steps, do you have to memorize how to do each bit of it till you move on? or can u go through the steps a bit faster than that?

good tut by the way xD

Don't try memorizing it. It will be memorized through experience. The only thing I suggest is reading my SRL tutorial to learn some SRL commands and apply in RS.

Thanks a bunch!:D Made a lot of things very clear i.e. made me want to pursue learning to script!

After learning everything on this tut are we supposed to move on to Intermediate?

I didn't include a few things that you should learn first. (Like case) You should still try a few of the tutorials. After that, move on to intermediate ;).

Okay, thanks.

can u help me
i just need to know how to make some one elses script work i am so confused right now can u make a script that i can play around with to get to nderstand it more or something or a script that i dont have to touch just use it to do what i have to do?

Lol - Hey dude - I read this tut on your freewebs site.

It's still up? I haven't been there in ages…

I already updated this tutorial many times since that one, also. Glad you found this one :).

Thank You this helped ALOT!

Thanks alot for the tutorial man, it's very nice explained and detailed, just starting out at scripting and I understand most of it! :)

Edit: Still reading through it!

thanks for the tutorial i understood it good. im that much closer to scripting now :)

This tut would be useful if I didn't know Pascal. Thanks much anyways. Now to look for tuts that show me SRL.

When I first read this, I was like" What?". After reading it a second a thrid time, I finally started to get the concept of scripting. Thank you very much WhoCares357 for this tutorial. Now look at me, I have released two scripts!:D

Thank you, this helped me refresh my memory, i haven't used scar in about a yr + 1/2 thanks, awesome tut :)

ty this taught mealotabout scripting it is very well put together and easy to understand

Very nice… this is one of the best tuts i have read so far….
Tyvm!:D

thanks a ton dude this helped me on my first steps to become a programmer =)
[BANANA][/BANANA]

hey thanks that really help but the only thing i didnt get was variables.
thanks allot,

jwm.:)

thanks very much for this, hopefully il be writing my own scripts in no time :)

Your tut is awesome… the part I have read. I got about to the color part(a part I was really looking forward to) and It started repeating every line, and blurring the lines. I tried refreshing and it didn't help. Any ideas? I would really like to read the rest of it.

I posted the tut in more than one place: http://sythe.org/showthread.php?t=148839

Wow, thanks. This is really good. I am really sick and tired of leeching because I can't learn from bad tutorials. Now to make a silk merchant =)

Excellent beginner's guide. I wish this was around back when I first started scripting. Back then the only way you could learn was by snagging the few available scripts (i.e., Odie's autofighter) and taking it apart.

I know what you mean. When I learned to script, there was one tutorial that I had found, and it was more of an intermediate tutorial rather than a beginner's tutorial. Me and my friend had to experiment with scripts to learn things. I wrote this tutorial right after I was confident that I knew enough about scripting to do so. I hope this tutorial has helped make a journey through the scripting world a little easier.

Thanks for the comment.

wow good tut

I am currently still reading this but I have to tell you this. I am Amazed at my understanding! I Never thought learning the basics would be this easy! I am taking a C++ course in a camp next week and Im sure the knowledge i am learning here will help! I realize that the words used will be different, however the basic idea will be the same. Thank you so much for posting this tut as I can assure you this is the best way to learn scar. I will recommend this to all who need it. I cant wait to make my first script:spot:

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS AWESOME TUTORIAL!!!

After this tutorial I made a script wich made my mouse go to paint en draw "HOI" (dutch for hello) while using different tools ^^ I showed a friend and he was like: "WTF?! that's freakin' awesome man! How the f*ck do you do that?!"

keep the good work up:D :D :D

Could some one put in a full script I read all this and it doesn't do that much it's confusing. Thanks for the help though. I will get my friend to help.

its a great tut
good for beginners like me :)

Awesome Tutorial, helped me a ton. Now I just hope i can get good at the more advanced stuff.

I don't think I've ever read a thread more informative. Took me 1 and a half hours to read this! But everysecond was important! 15/10 on a scale from 1-10! This rocks. But what I have trouble with is Bitmaps. I don't understand how to use them. I'll be on this thread constantly re-reading until I can make my first script!!

progam ThankYouWhoCares357;

This is my second time reading, and it is all coming together. Yay, I say by october, I'll be a decent, if not about average scripter.

why does my pc detect a trojan on scar??? great tut though

Very nice tut, really liked it, learned some stuff! Now to start coding and build an army!

very detailed! im starting to get the hang of scripting :D tyvm!

Thanks, Im new to scar. Have a little programming knowledge. Would love to get into the Scar scripting scene. This TUT was very very helpful thank you so much. Hopefully soon I can start coding some useful scripts. Thanks again!

Wow, excellent tutorial. Took forever to read, but i'm glad I did. Thanks!

Great tutorial!

Hey, thanks, very much.

My knowledge of SCAR just went from nothing to somthing…

Your tut really healped me understand.

I don't completely understand SCAR yet tho…

Might i suggest you make a video tutorial?

A good program to use for video tuts is "camstudio"

Google it if you wish

I usually use it to record lineriders or runescape stuff

And thanks again for the tut

Good luck with anything else you script


HAPPY SCRIPTING

Thanks alot for this great tutorial! :D
It really gave me a nice introduction to scripting with scar, although the programming lanaguage itself
seems a bit different from my past experiences with programming.

this is for Faster789
you should try this:

program Procedures2;

procedure Write;
begin
Writeln('Hi, you are doing very well with this learning!');
end;

procedure Stay;
begin
Wait(500);
end;

procedure Write1;
begin
Writeln('sup');
end;

procedure Stay1;
begin
wait(1000);
end;

begin
Write;
Stay;
Write1;
Stay1;
end.

nice guide, first one i read though :P looks impressive comparing to any guide (not just scripting guides)

W00t tnx

Thanks learned a lot!

This tutorial helped me a lot! I recommend it to every beginner

hey just a thanx this tut has helped me with my scripts alot be posting my first script soon ya :D

i had almost given up. i have read so many tutorials but this one really clarified things. i wonder why this isn't stickied (or is it and I have completely missed it?). I managed to write a simple tree-finder and cutter.

now to work on a loop.

very nice tutorial im now working on my first script

Thanks for the guilde :cool: now i can start scripting my own script ;}

amazingly detailed.. gr8 job.. such in depth tutorial tht makes it seem like scripting is a piece of cake

that rly helped ^^ :duh:

Amazing tutorial, I'm learning a lot from it.

Thanks so much man this is going to help me out alot.
Korn

Click on tools and picture to string

Not Script

Hey, can anyone help me out with antiban ?
I need it for my power cutter .

i have not yet read the whole guide… im planing to start writing scripts in the future when i have more time, just a quick question about scar.. when you write a procedure for example:
[LEFT]

procedure CheckVersion;
begin if version=<3 then
 begin Writeln('Version is out of date')
 end;
end;
// rest of script

[/LEFT]

does that get stored in the memory of scar and therefore means that whilst the script is running and it ever encounters a Version less than 3 it will say that its outdated and then end?
[LEFT]

procedure CheckVersion;
begin if version=<3 then
 begin Writeln('Version is out of date')
end;
// rest of script

[/LEFT]

then this means that when it encounters a Version less than three it will write the message but continue the script?

if im right ill be so happy :D

oh and also.. did i write all that correctly?

awesome:)i readed it carefully and learnt something at all.Wish a day i'll make a script..:pthanx

  CheckVersion;

This tut has been an awesome help! however i am rather stuck at one point in the middle. (as you will probably notice i have never done anything like this before so my terminalogy may be a tad askew) I am stuck at the Bitmap section of the tutorial. I was able to do steps 1-8, but i have no idea how or what to load as the Bitmap! for example:

program BitmapExample2;
 
var
Fish: Integer;
 
begin
  Fish := BitmapFromString(8, 11, 'z78DA33302007B801C16015C7C5A6A' +
       '77A62F4E252894CD21F0000D64369E1');
end.

where the heck did you get:
"Fish := BitmapFromString(8, 11, 'z78DA33302007B801C16015C7C5A6A' +
'77A62F4E252894CD21F0000D64369E1');"???

i tried many times to use the script i got on step 7, in different ways, but none of them worked. i'd love your help on this! (hope you understand my problem) anyway, i'll be posting more later,
cya later

I think you have to search a item of runescape on the internet… like a tuna… than translate that to bitmap and place it in your script..

now you can let your mouse search for a image(bitmap) instead of a colour.

plz check if what I said is right because I'm not sure about it…

anyway: the best tutorial of :stirthepot: "the srl-forum" :stirthepot: !!!!

masterBB

Hi, really great thread, just wanted to say that for loading a bitmap, you said to click on script>>picture to string>>….
and on my version of SCAR (3.6), the picture to string command is under tools>>scripts. appart from that, awsome thread, with it i created my first oak chopper autoer, and I just heard of this programm 3 days ago, and not leached a single script. :)

yeah, i have the bitmap from runescape, and convert it to a string…but the "string" shows up in the debug box, as a 5,000 number/letter answer. i have no idea what part of this answer to put in the script. that's where i need help. anyway, thanks again.

Oh no!! to much learning! brain…attempting to…leave skull!!
Now, seriously, very good! Easy to understand, lots of examples, heaps good!

All I can say is WOW.
I felt like I would never be able to make a working script, this has given me a lot of confidence.
Thank you so much

thank you very much for this. this will help out a lot

Helped a TON! This is going to greatly help me in the long run. Thank you so much.

I love you, this tutorial has really helped me. I just created my very first script :D

Thanks for the tutorial, I been loooking for a good beginners tutorial for a long time, thanks

Dude. Ty so much. I read this and it helped me learn alot about scripting. Ty!

Started reading and got through about half of it, and it was really enlightening on scripting methods, i will continue to read the rest as soon as i find the time and then hopefully i can start making useful scripts and contributions

wow, that tut was the best ive ever seen, that mustve taken a lot of work, and its so helpful

my goal is to make the best powerminer there is

Thanks a lot for the tutorial. I'm somewhat catching on to how this works.

Wow.
Couldn't see myself going anywhere without reading that. It helps. In my own head I believe I know a lot, when in contrast to others I know jack shit.

Thanks, it helped my understanding of Scar heaps.

:)

extremely useful, thanks !

helped a lot:D

great job! i hope to see some intermidate and advanced tuts from you!

Thanks!!!

This is really useful as I have no programming experience at all:o

Nice tut, not as many pictures as others (hah) but, very detailed. Helps out alot. Should help me towards making my first script (trying to decide on whether to make an auto-fighter, collector, or power-chopper).

Thank you!
Now i can start making that awsome auto i always wanted someone to make ;o)

(btw looking forward to your next guide )

Absolutely awesome.

Definitely going to script now.

:stirthepot:

Awsome tutorial! I am finally starting to get the idea of how to script, although I have not gotten one working perfectly yet, this helped a ton.

thnx for the tutorial just one question.

Did you write this right?
"There are (three) different types of variables: Integer, String, Boolean, Extended"

I put in parenthisese what I think is wrong.:)

I've just recently gotten into SCAR and SRL and I gotta say man congrats on one great tut. It's easy and understandable. Tyvm for your help.

Is it possible to script SCAR in 3d?

I put in parenthisese what I think is wrong.:)

Heh. Thanks for pointing that out. There are actually many different types of variables, but I just showed the most common ones. I'll fix it. Thanks again.

@_@ wooooah…
geez ~ ty
helps me understand scar alot ! woot !!

Thank You, that was brilliant, I will be sure to use this :D

I read it from top to bottom. It really really helped me understand the basics and
how things work together.

ok thank you for this info. it was very valuble. i had been working in pascal a little before this came along, but now i know much more, sadly there is one mistake you made (at least that i caught). near the beginning you said you had to use uppercase when you started a new word. im sorry to point out that that isnt true. in pascal uppercase and lowercase dont matter at all. seriously, go try and write a code while using crazy combinations of uppercase and lowercase. it dosent change anything.

p.s. im not saying that to intimidate you or anything, im only saying that to make sure all the newbies (no offense) dont think they have to check their code for that each time when they dont have to.

Heh, it's okay. I wrote this tutorial when I was still very new to the code. One day, when I'm not so busy, I'll go in and fix all my previous errors. Thanks for the comment. I always appreciate criticism as long as it includes a spec of suggestion and correction ;).

Really nice tutorial helped me alot making my own script :D

very nice guide whocares

thanks for the tutorial! very detailed.
helped me try to start some scripting :)

Very good guide. Good job it's stickied else I wouldn't have a clue how to use SCAR.

I think he said that its a good idea to write names like this (NameOfWhatYouAreNaming) not that you had to. I would agree that it's handy because I know that many programmers and languages require this syntax (PHP is one I know it's a good idea to do this).

Still kind of complicated but I'm learning, thanks :D

nice TUT dude ! it helped me learn some of the basics!
but with the colors part the Findcolor (x,y,123456,0,0,100,100) doesn't work.
it says unknown identifier X in script…?

Very nice.
When I started reading this I knew nothing about SCAR and SRL. Now that I've finished it, it makes me want to write my own script.

Best tut I have ever seen,now I have alot more knowledge in scripting .
I highly recommend this to anyone just starting out!

hey, now i might be able to make a super simple script to make meger cash, heh explaned not only how to script, but how it works, inwhich you can grasp it well =)
again, thanks a ton man!!

Now if only I had found this guide/a guide like this guide years upon years ago I would have been able to create my own scripts before now

very good tutorial i learned alot from it

Thanks alot this has really helped me understan SCAR a heck of alot more
great tutorial!

Wow, this will help me so much man. I read the whole entire thing in one read..Wow, so much information. Great guide. :)

Very helpful thank you very much!

I am currently trying to do an auto log in i think im almost finished :D

wow
all i can say is wow
this is extremely helpful
you should make this into a book
no joke
ty so much for this

shweet thank you

very helpful thanks.
the only things that confused me at first were variables and bitmaps but now that im uasing more andvanced stuff i understand them fully
and thanks again this was a really big help

Very Nice TUT, I've read through it now, it'll be WAY useful when I try and write a script, which will probably be soon since I can't find a auto willow cutter that seems to bank well.

Thanks alot for that guide, I might get started on making some script with some of the stuff I've learnt here =)

Wow nice TUT dude!

wow i did my first autotalker lol

Nice TUT, man.

^^ Pretty soon, with all this knowledge intake, I'll complete my first script.

Many thanks to you. :)

TY man!!! Before I read this, i didn't khnew anything, but now i know something
:D Keep up the good work

Not to nag or anything, but I'm on the Bitmap section and you put Picture to String as being under the Script menu, but its under Tools.

Awesome Tut, I'm very interested in SCAR scripting thanks to you :D

that pretty much rocks, i havent looked at scar in a year or two and didnt have a clue back then, i have since learned some C++ and with your guide, this is going to be pretty easy to get started, thanks bro

It must have changed since 2.03. If not, then I am sorry for the mistake.

And I personally thank everyone who has commented so far. It makes my time given for the creation of the tutorial very much worthwhile.

wow i like how this is old
but it still helped me understand the most basic parts of scar scripts
now to read more lol

this is the greatest tut i've read
this is helped me to understand some of the scripts easier.
i'm now starting on my first real script
and its all thanks to you

Wow. Amazingly thorough guide. helped me to get the basics of SCAR scripting. Thank you!!!:(h):

awesome tutorial, managed to follow you perfectly. well versed and explains the beginning of scripting well. thx :)

i dint understand But Gj =3:spot:

didn't read all of it yet, but i will definitely do so later. great guide :-) very friendly.

thanks!

ty but for some reason when i have it click somthing it doesnt actually click on it instead it just tries to walk there plz help

Very informative, great for beginners, A++

Lol this reminds me of qbasic
gotta love old programming languages!
Great Tutorial!! A++

This is a very helpful tut
thanks

I love this guid, but i still need some help anyone care to help me over MSN or E-mail! that would be nice

ps: ill pay in RS cash :D! say about 10-200k depends on the help you give!!!

very good tutorial, i found it very easy to understand and i now feel alot more confortable with SCAR.

thanks,

Womble.

thanks this is a great guide:)

5 stars for you!

Nice man…I understand a lot more now

Absolutely brilliant beginners tut, got me started and i can now begin to understand some of the intermediate stuff.

Wow, there is alot of work put into this thread for sure.

Hey great tut. The only error i saw was you said that "Ctrl+P" was the color picker under the "How to use" section when its "Ctrl+Alt+P". The same for Run and Pause. I know that most people know that but i just wanted to make sure that newer people would know too. Other than that good job on the tutorial :)

Quite the awesome tutorial. It's been helping me alot with SCAR, Good job.

:) Well done, the thing i liked the best was that I understand scripting that much more; it's cool how much you can learn from something as short as the information given in the reading. Thx. I believe you should cast a vote just to see what the other readers think of your TUT; as they say.

One thing; do you have any other TUT's that I could read?;)

This guide is amazing, you explain everything so nicely. Great job!

thank you for the help as i am currently making my first script atm so this should make it alot easier

Thanks mate! this tut really helped me :-)

very very nice guide, helped me massively, thank you very much mate

Thanks so Much for this tutorial you've helped me make my first script! check it out, theres a link in my sig.

wow,a very thorough tutorial. You made it very simple to understand.

I'm still a bit fuzzed on color finding,but I'm sure I'll get it soon.

Great work,appreciate it!;)

Hi I have this problem where I get an image, and i save it as a bitmap, then I go to Tools > Bitmap to String. Then I open my image and then press okay, I get this code,

But then when I put this back into "String to picture" I get an error saying "Invalid encrypted String", someone help please! :)
Edit: I am using the latest version of scar.


I tried another bitmap, and I got the same result:

Edit #2:
Okay, I downloaded SCAR 2.03, and I did the exact same thing and this time it worked. So either the latest SCAR has a bug in this "Picture to String" or you have to use it in a different way?

I've only read some of this, but it's helping me a LOT, well done for writing this up.

great tut, read it all @ once.. lets see what kind of scripts i can make then =D

Dooooooooood you are like my god. I feel slightly smarter after reading this well organized and neat tutorial. Please continue making them plz….

long , but very explicit i had to re-read a little but its a very well done guide, thanks!

To those who are asking about my other tutorials, here are a few of them:

Thanks for all the comments.

One question:

Greeting: String;

You said that for commands that will turn bold, we shouldn't capitalize.
Does it not apply to this?

Well, we used it for a specific reason here. We defined the word "Greeting" as a string. That means that we can now store strings (text) in "Greeting".

saystuff: String; would be the same thing. We are just defining something as a string.

If I used it in something like:

procedure String;
begin
end;

it would be wrong and your script wouldn't compile (You would get an error).

The thing about capitalization doesn't matter. I am not even sure why I said that we should not capitalize it.

Greeting: String;
and
Greeting: string;

Both mean the same thing.

Very amazing tutorial i liked this out of the others pretty simple to use and understand

Thanks it was very helpful except for the includes part which was confusing and very necessary because of all the Mouse stuff so I couldn't really try that out myself yet.

Thanks VERY much!

This brings back memories… I started out by reading this brilliant and 100% covering guide and from there everything went up… Today I'm SRL Member and I make scripts that can run for hours and hours :p :D

Everybody should be encouraged to read this and begin scripting.

Thanks, WhoCares357!

-Knives

thx alot this is a great help for people wanting to learn

Working on a Script myself this Tutorial is extremely Helpful.
Thanks!!!

I just sat here and read it all, and it has given me somewhere to start on this Scar buisness lol, no for me to go do some trialing of my own :P

nice 1

that was a very good tutorial. I understood everything except i did the bitmap thing properly but it would never find the bitmap(i even used FindBitmapIn–and inserted the runescape box size) i made it so it would write in the debug box if it found or didnt but it never did and never clicked on it???????? plz help but thx for the tut helped me with a lot of things :)

Either my bitmap is outdated (if you didn't use your own), the bitmap you used is too large, or there was a bug in the script.

In any case, you should post the script.

um well i thought it was pretty good. goof job! =) um but i'd probably like have to read it 3 or mote times to understand fully and myb by then ill make my own script! thnx alot man:D

um well i thought it was pretty good. good job! =) um but i'd probably like have to read it 3 or more times to understand fully and mayb by then ill make my own script! thnx alot man:D

I think I might finally have a chance to actually make some scripts now. Thank you very much. Now, the only thing I found slightly confusing was the bit map area. I originally thought I had to convert it to a JPEG instead. :confused: However, I figured out that Runescape's Existing User Button is already a bitmap…

Still, I could not get it to actually detect the Existing User Button and click it, I figured out I needed to use the FindBitMapIn, but what are the actual dimensions of the Runescape window?

Besides that everything else worked, thank you very much, and here is a quick and little error I found with the bit map section.

In SCAR Divi 3.13, the picture to string button is under the Tools icon, not Script.

Yeah, great tutorial!

Does anyone know any good intermediates ones? I think I'm ready for them after this.

Excellent job. I will return to this guide very soon!

Tahnks for this great tuts. Helped me overcome the big differences between scar script and c++.

I look forward to make some bots for RuneScape. My battlefield 2142 hack went to hell when PunkBuster went to v2.xx so I am going to do RuneScape now as i have always loved the game I played years ago. :P

iv read nearly all ur scripts still dont understand

WOW! This is the best guide ive found so far, Thank you so much for putting it on here. It was a little hard undertsanding it at the start but i got around…

Thanks again,

Jt money

thanx :) im gonna work on starting a script now :D
that was a ton of help now and ive read 3 tuts and by far this is the best yet

hey i got a question
when i run with MoveMouseSmooth my test script i made works perfectly
but when i run with MoveMouseSmoothEx theres an error in the debug box that says
Line 10: [Error] (10:1): Invalid number of parameters in script

can anyone help me?

oh and heres my script im using

program Talker;

procedure talk;
begin
  Writeln('hello');
  Wait(1000+random(600))
  Writeln('this is stupid');
  Wait(2000+random(200))
  MoveMouseSmoothEx(500+random(300)-random(500),500+random(300)-random(100))
end;
begin
  talk
end.

Excellent tutorial. It helps alot.:)

end.

MoveMouseSmoothEx has more than just the coords to define. You also have to define the gravity, wait times, etc.

Here's the exact definition:

procedure MoveMouseSmoothEx(x, y: Integer; minsleeptime, maxsleeptime, maxdistance, gravity, forces: Integer);
Simulate humanlike mouse movement with more customizable parameters. By default MinSleepTime = 1; MaxSleepTime = 3; MaxDistance = 45; Gravity = 20; Forces = 10. Minsleeptime and Maxsleeptime limit pause between mouse cursor jumps, MaxDistance is maximal allowed distance between mouse jumps, Gravity is how much mouse tends to reach destination, Forces are like random winds, hand shaking simulation.

I took it directly from the Scar Divi Manual.

Wish I saw this earlier, would've saved me hours of trying to work out whats what from my past ASM knowledge xD

Great starting point
Thanx a bunch

Read it on Sythe too..
Awesome tut man, I'm a WhoCares357 tut addict!
Thanks! :D

Wow, nice tutorial! This was really helpful :)

im new to any programs like scar and i had no idea how to use it. this is the only tut i have found that helped me, so good work! and the booleans are the hardest thing to understand. :D

This is a very good tut for a someone who just started to learn about scar, but by looking at where runescape is headed, sadly I'm not sure if i should still spend time learning about scar. But I think I'll take the chance anyway as seeing how interesting it is to be able to make your own scripts to run programs with various functions and procedures with just one click.

Great tutorial for actual new people who are new to scripting.
This has helped me and will continue to help others in the future.

Thanks;):)

wow thanks alot for this tutorial i finaly understand the basics i've read alot of tuts b4 and really wanted to learn nothing help so i just started looking at other peoples scripts to learn but couldn't quite understand why some things go in some places youre tut helped me alot!!

Great tut. I learned a lot from it. :]

This is great. I've been wanting to learn to script, I'll definitely use this tutorial. Thanks!

The repeat was always unclear in other tuts and I don't think any explained the if,then,and else format at all, or not clearly enough. The best tut I've read so far, especially for a nub like me.

sums up scripting in one nice little bundle

Wow, after reading this i already feel like i am ready to make a script! But i guess the saying goes "i know that i don't know, and by doing that i know a lot, and the less i actually know, the more I belive to know", so i have this intresting feeling there will be a lot more reading to do. Special thanks for the procedure explanation, it greatly helped me! :)
I have no clue what this "rep++" is supposed to do of which I constantly hear of in the comments, but I guess it can only be something good, so rep++ for you! :D

thanks a ton dude helped a lot

Thank you for this tutorial… Now that I understand the basics of scripting, maybe I can get a script to run… Then later I can create a script of my own… All thanks a large part to you… Also, In on part of the tutorial, near the end of the middle, you said seconds when you should have said milliseconds…

Thanks, Going to read this now

Great guide, now I have at least some understanding of the different functions of Scar. Now to find an SRL how-to.

nice effort..lots of helpful points,cheers mate

Great tutorial, keep up the good work. I made an auto talking script after reading this. currently working on a power miner script.

Hi! Great tutorial. I'm new to SCAR and SLR, but thanks to this, i'm already on my way to making a guildminer.
Thanks again!

Thankyou so much! Ive been looking for a decent tutorial for the last 6 hours lol… Im trying it out now and will post if I have any problems

Thanks Again

its nice but its long and you lost me on the Variables and Constants

great tut, I might start scripting now I think!


(hope)…

Really nice tut. one of the better ones ive seen. understandable and clean. keep up the good work.

nice tut, very detailed

Yeah this is a really good one bit long took me some time but nice :)

That was a good tutorial, lots of helpful tips. Though I don't know if it'll work with the new SCAR, I might try to make a script now :)

A quick noob question… Sorry…

About deleting JaGex files, I hear people talking about deleting random.dat and uid.dat. I've checked my computer under jagex cache 32, the only thing I've ever found is the random.dat, I've deleted it every day (Of Course) but I have never found the uid.dat, where is it located?

Or is it that just one is used on each computer, i.e. since I have the random.dat I don't have the uid.dat.

Please keep in mind uid.dat have been changes to random.dat long time ago… just delete the random.dat will do

thanks alot, very educational.

thanks this helped me so much!

it boosted my IQ 0.00000000000000009%

I give it a try. Other tries to learn scripting failed -.- toooo impatience

Thank you so much for this tutorial - it was one of the first i read, and i still consider it one of the best i have read!

You made everything very clear and detailed, so many thanks :) !

Thanks alot :) Now I understand it and maybe I'll make a script!

EDIT: If I wasn't a chicken!

I think you should know that because of this tut I love you

:D very nice tut tyvm!!

Wow! Thanks alot, I'll have a go at some more tutorials, then hopefully I can make a simple bone burier. Very very helpful.

Jon

I used this tut to make my very own chicken killer and bone burier, it may be outdated, but still good for noobs like me :D
thanx

I am considering writing a "Second Edition" in which I update this tutorial to match the new SRL/Scar versions. This, of course, will take some work, but I think I will do it. I am currently working on patching up my "Ample Alcher" script (it was really outdated), but as soon as I finish that up, I will start on furnishing this tutorial.

Once again, I really appreciate all of the comments and support. I never imagined this tutorial would be so popular. I created it because there were no others (at the time) that were truly "beginner tutorials". I am glad to see the variety of beginner tutorials today.

Nice… Can't wait for version 2 :p …

That would be a really good idea, You still have MoveMouseSmooth and ClickMouse in here, i want to reffer this tut to someone but i don't want them to use the two and learn the wrong way… o well but i really like this tut and look forward to ver 2. :spot:

i got directed here from a friendly stranger :D and so far im about half done, very very nice information, im finally understanding some things. i can porb ley make an…AUTOTALKER :D:D:D lol


(tries his best to keep spam down to a miniumu…first big posted i've made ever here :D)

Had some trouble with my internet this weekend, so I couldn't start the revision. I'll start this weekend (thursday evening :D).

very good tutorial it did not help me much but im sure it will help otheres

nice work but all them fancy names i don't understand

That would be awsome if you came out with a new version. I read through the guide and this guide showed me that this will be more practical then learning the language of computer game making. I started to learn the game language, but i came back here and saw this, and it will help me in my future more bc i want to be a programmer or engineer. And both will need somekind of language similar to this, especially the engineer one. Now im goin to quit my other language im learning and start learning pascal. I hope I will learn more soon and will be able to post some in the free scripts.

Alot of thanks,:) :) :)
Codester (P.S. now im going to try and make my post more gramatically correct….after this one)

Every time i try to make a scritp or download it when i play it it allways opens a new tab called SCAR and says theres an error on line 87 and 4 hundred and something.Please help by emailing me a [email]aarondobie555@hotmail.co.uk[/email]

Thanks a lot!

Thankyou soooo much…you helped me understand SCAR!! i thought id never get it…but after i saw this it seems so simple..
..i will hopefully try to make some good scripts to post on the srl-forums:) :D

thanks man, I thougt i would never understand SCAR but after i read this it looks quite simpel.

thank you,
this script helped me alot in understanding how scripting works and how to use it :D

Very good guide! Makes SCAR look easy to learn, atleast for me.

thx mate ^^ that tutorial really helped me :P i am going to try to make an ess miner, if i can't i just have to read some more tuts =)

Mann I read this whole thing and i understand Scar much beter. I am not very interested in writing my own scripts but now i will know what people are talking about and i can learn from the scripts that i use since i know most of the basics.

does clickmouse work still??

From: blobmaster31
does clickmouse work still??

It does, but don't use it on Runescape. It's detectable.

Instead, use the SRL include.

program New;

{.include SRL\SRL.scar}

begin
  SetupSRL;
  Mouse(200, 200, 0, 0, true);
end.

200, 200 are x and y coords 0, 0 are random x and random y. true is left mouse button.

And yes, you DO need to placed SetupSRL there. It sets the mouse speed.

Well, I got this morning checked on Hy's fight cave runner and decided I'd Go back and look to the basics because my WillowSlash3r script Is being a dick.

I read this in like 20 minutes I learned a few new (but as you stated it the tut) old tricks!:spot: anyway great tut I can see your very neat rep++ your helping rid us of leechers and teaching some of us some fundamentals

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! this tut was very helpful and i learned a lot!! +rep!
very well written and clear to understand, now i understand SCAR better, thank you very much!

Nice, just got back to runescape cheating from quiting ages ago :P, might try to learn how to script again :D.

Wow… ive read it all… understand it all… tryed it all…

And yet it still seems over my head a bit :) After looking at a few free scripts on this site, and a few others on other sites, I keep seeing errors in scripts where people reply "Download SRL version so N' so with SCAR so N' so"…

Why cant they keep it the same?

Well well well.
I've been here for awhile, and I'm ashamed to say that was my first serious tut reading.
And I learned a lot from it, thank you much for your time in writing this!
Really a good one, time to move on though

wow, thanks alot, this will be very useful to me.

Thx! Great guide!

im reading this right now, it's very nice =)

Thank You for the tutorial. I already knew some basic programming from a little C++ but this really helped me adjust to scar and it's uses.

ok heres what i have so far

program AutoMiner;
{.include SRL\SRL.scar}
Var
 x,y: integer;
Const
 Username= '';
 Password= '';
 OreColor = 7044095;
 Ore := DTMFromString('78DA633461626078C380028A631D191881340' +
       '8FF0702465BA09A7B0C6880118904D2764035F78950F38808352F' +

       'B40F8000026DF1073');
begin
 if findcolor(x,y,Orecolor,0,0,515,337)then
  begin
   movemousesmoothEx(x,y +random(5),10,30,500,10,0);
   wait(100+random(300));
   ClickMouse(x,y,true);
   end else
    writeln('Could Not find rock');
   end;
    if findDTM(Ore,x,y,687,436,711,459)then
     begin
      If findDTM(Ore,x,y,550,208,736,465)then
       begin
        movemousesmooth(x,y +random(12))
        wait(100+random(250))
        ClickMouse(x,y,false)
       end;
      end;
     end.

can someone tell me how to make it find text then click on it, and also can someone help me to get the dtm to work?? help is appreciated

Can you give me the code you're trying to run?

Thanks for the fish color example, that was what i just needed :D . Now i can go look and make a little script, and learn and learn and learn :)

I love all the noobs posting just to get up post count :)

Thanks for the great tut btw. Helped me a lot in my power miner!

prty mint tutorial i bet this took you a while to write out :p gj

thanks a million for this dude, helps tons

I am a nexus scripter and hopefully that will help me to learn to script with scar :) thanks for the great tutorial

I have added this little snippet at the beginning of the tutorial:

!WARNING!
THE COMMANDS USED IN THIS TUTORIAL ARE OUTDATED. Do not use any of the Mouse (moving or clicking) commands on Runescape. Do not use the SendKeys command either.

The include SRL (made by the generous people on this forum) has created greatly improved commands that are undetectable by Runescape. THE INTERACTIVE COMMANDS USED IN THIS TUTORIAL (mouse movement, mouse clicking, typing) ARE NOW DETECTABLE. DO NOT USE THEM ON RUNESCAPE OR YOU WILL GET BANNED. I made a short tutorial on some of the more common SRL commands. You can find that tutorial Here.

I have not had time to update this tutorial yet, but I really want to do so once school ends. I put this as a warning because I have seen many people use old commands on Runescape that will quickly get them banned. Don't be one of those people. Learn SRL commands after you finish learning from this tutorial.

Please take this into consideration. It certainly doesn't mean that this tutorial is unusable. I created it to teach you how to PROGRAM and not how to cheat in Runescape.

I did spend a few hours working on the tutorial about a month ago, but my old computer crashed and I lost everything. I am now getting ready for exams and such (end of school year :D). I hope to start rewriting the tutorial soon.

Thank you for all of your replies so far. I am glad that my work has helped so many talented people.

PS, yes, I know my syntax structure is horrible during the tutorial xD. I wrote it when I was still a beginner. I had very weird standards back then. I'll update the standards when I rewrite the tutorial.

Incredible tutorial!
TYSM

good tutorial

Wow, Awesome tut

One word: NEATNESS.

i'm screwed

Takes a long time to read but well worth it

if it wasn't for this guide i would still be putting my username/password before the '' because i really didn't understand it

thanks for helping :D

anyone having problems with scripting or using scripts should read this tut

I'm confused about something in the line
if(FindColor(x,y,FishColor,0,0,600,600) is
0,0, = x,y of the top left corner of the screen
600,600 = x,y of the lower right corner of the screen
is that correct?

ahhh i see.. Thx

Very nice tutorial, it helped me alot.
I just didnt got something right.
in the procedure

MoveMouseSmoothEx(x,y+random(0),20,40,45,25,20);

what does the "20,40,45,25,20" means?
is that the min sleeptime, max sleeptime, max distance, gravity and force thing?

It's a tutorial I made on just that. Hope it helps you.

this has helped me sooo much. But im still a noob at making scripts lol

very well written tut and explains most things in great depth

Thanks for writing the guide! It really helped me to get a basic understanding of SCAR with it's clear and organized information. :)

This is awesome

Thank you for taking the time to make it

great tutorial it helped me so much!!
i made a autominer and a autowoodcutter and banker thank u so much!/!

Hey, thanks for spending your time with this.

Dang! just the thing i needed to know is how to make a mouse move and click…great…. <.> *disappointed*

Excellent tutorial, this really helped me get past that first barrier in using SCAR for the first time.

Thank you for enlightening me.
My abilities are non-existant at the moment, but is it possible to make a theiving script that eats from a stackable food like sweets ? Or one that even steals food when it runs out ? I guess that will be one of my future projects.

Have a nice day.

thanks so much for this , it helped me greatly.

I absolutely loved reading this and would certainly recommend it to anyone :) Really helped me understand the basics!

Can I make what script I want of this?




- Riffe

Thanks a lot for this!
Really helping me…. just need to learn to use includes properly, and check that other thread you mentioned as this one was out of date…
Still highly recommend reading it for beginners though!
Thanks

I've actually started rewriting the tutorial 2 times already. The first time my computer died and I lost the hard drive (It had the old type of connector so I couldn't get the files from it). The second time I had to reformat my computer and couldn't back anything up. I didn't feel like starting it again for a long time, but I think I'll give it a try again. This time I'll save it on a flash drive :D.

You are the best I actually made a script that you define a number and it guesses it unil it gets it and says Your number is *
Thx

Btw how do you get it to tell you how many times it guessed it?
Someting like

//Stuff at start
begin
x:=0
repeat
x:= x+ 1;
//stuff
Until (blah)
writeln ('I guessed' +IntToString(x) +'times')
end.

?

+ rep, excellent tut, would recommend to any one who is new to making scar scripts.

i dont know how to create an srl id
i know that its in some kind of srl stats section but i just cant find it!

thanks this actually really helped me make my own scripts =]

been studying this tutorial so much i got a headache! :P very nice layout of the whole thing and good explanations :> best tut ive seen so far! gj and thanks :>

Very helpful intro for people just starting out. Well prepared!

Nice

Awesome guide. I suggest reading it, taking a break, and reading it again..=]

thanks

The guides good. 9.5/10. xD
It took me some time to read, and yet I read it twice. Just getting into SCAR scripting, so had to make sure I knew everything. Nice guide though mate.
