Or things that need to be explained further/added. :)

Updated the Globals.scar section as a few things have changed. :)

Oh, forgot a few important things from Objects!

When clicking an object in your procedures, do it like this:

function ClickRock(WhichIndex: integer): boolean;
var
  TemporaryObject: TMSObject; // Create a variable for the TMSObject
begin
  TemporaryObject := MSI_GetObject(WhichIndex); // Save it to the temp variable
  Result := MSI_FindObject(TemporaryObject, ClickLeft);
  // This way the object info won't haunt in the memory! :)
end;

Also: Finding items in your inventory (going to make a thread about this after this post)
See ItemInfo.simba for item index's (under MSI_GetItem-function)

{******************************************************************************}
{ Function MSI_FindItemSlots(ItemID: Integer): TIntegerArray;                  }
{ By: marpis                                                                   }

{ Description: Clicks all items declared in ItemIDs array.                     }
{******************************************************************************}

procedure MSI_ExamineOakLogs;
var
  TIA: TIntegerArray;
begin
  TIA := MSI_FindItemSlots(LOGS_OAK); // if you have logs in invslots 2, 5, 6 and 8, this results [2, 5, 6, 8]
  WriteLn('We have '+IntToStr(Length(TIA))+' Oak logs in inventory!');
  MSI_ClickItems([LOGS_OAK], ['xam', 'Exa']); // Note: both parameters are arrays!
end;

Ok, now I can :p
Thanks rasty!

Alright this guide needs updating! There are a lot of new functions that aren't in this guide and a lot of functions are in the guide that are no longer in the include. If you don't have edit access (non-SLs), please post any changes and one of us will fix things up.

Thanks! :)
