Points the compass towards a point on the minimap.

Function MakeCompassPoint(x, y: integer): boolean;
var
  a: extended;
begin
  a := rs_GetCompassAngleDegrees;
  if (a < 0) or (not LoggedIn) then
    exit;
  a := a + 90 + Degrees(ArcTan2(y - MMCY, x - MMCX));
  Result := MakeCompass(a);
end;

wow, just found this…

I really love the concept, I'm concerned that no-one has taken a look at this
Nice job Heysus

testing in the next hour..

Its a cool idea, and nice and neat and simple, it's just that there doesn't really seem to be a huge need for it that's all. MakeCompas alone already does everything we need. In fact we could possibly just use MakeCompass with an angle to do the same thing
[PHP]"direction: Enter a compass angle ('n', 's', 'e', 'w') or degree (23.3, 25, 205.2)
and it will move the compass to that angle. Also accepts 'random',
and 'rand' to make the compass a random direction."[/PHP]

:D.

Still, cool idea and concept Heysus, keep it up!

Then again, if you're looking for say an NPC that's nearby, but for some reason a nooby script isnt finding him, as a failsafe, you could point the compass in the direction of the yellow dot and search a more confined area.

Could also work for trees, mining rocks
Possibly work something in with fishing symbols and fishing spots

i think it has some potential

I reckon' it's a great idea and that it should be committed, whether is is added onto the MakeCompass method itself, or is its' own separate method.

own seperate procedure i reckon

doh! Didn't think of that benjaa, never mind then this is pretty cool. It could be used for facing certain things on the MM to get a better view of them.


[sidenote rant]Why the hell are people quoting other people's long posts, its annoying and stupid! Just say @(Whoever Posted)[Your Message Here], instead of quoting something large for everyone to see again! [/sidenote rant]
