SRL Archive - OSR Help

So I was wondering if there was a proper way to track how long a procedure has been active? I need it because the monsters in a certain area (Rock Crabs) do not become aggro'd to you after 10 minutes or so. So you need to leave the area far enough to reaggro them to you.

Any way to do it properly and efficiently?

Thanks!

procedure Timing;
var
  t: Integer;
begin
  MarkTime(t); // Starts timing here.
  Wait(RandomRange(1000, 2000));
  if TimeFromMark(t) > 1500 then // Checks if the time since 'MarkTime(t)'
    Writeln('Over')
  else
    Writeln('Under');
end;

So in your MainLoop have it constantly loop through and when it has been 10 minutes use the RunAway functions. I believe they are in Walking.scar.

marktime(var time: integer);

timefrommark(time: integer);

or alternatively getSystemTime(); which is basically the same thing.

ex.

procedure blah;
var
  timer: integer;
begin
  marktime(timer);
  shithere;
  writeLn('took: '+IntToStr(timeFromMark(timer)));
end;

I haven't used marktime in forever, but im pretty sure that's how it works ;)

Thanks you two. I was curious on how to do this.

Appreciate the help!

your welcome. and for the record, I'm smarter than NCDS, so regardless what he tells you, I'm more right.

Can't argue with fact :/
