SRL Archive - Reflection Help

I am just curious about the walking functions people are using in their ref scripts, is WalkPath reliable, or should I just use an array of tiles with WalkToTile, etc.

I haven't been around for a looooooong time, and last time I was here, I think WalkPath was one of the best functions.

Correct me if I am wrong or feel free to add your suggestions, share your functions :p

I feel like a nub again :redface:

The way I do it is have WalkPath as the primary walking procedure, and r_webwalk (blind walk) as the back up. I would put in area-checkers that check where you are based on what stage of the script you are currently doing, and that tells you which way to go from your current location. So if you get disconnected/random event while walking, the area check would find out and blindly walk to the next stage destination.

Walkpath is still the best if you pick the tiles properly, the only problem is in case if theres a random event, though that never happened to me.

this is my function. it's suposed to click the next tile as soon as it's on the minimap. With this you can start the function in the middle of the path. It's reliable, and I use it in all my reflection scripts

function a_WalkPath(path : TTileArray) : Boolean;
var
  i, c : Integer;
  tp, ntp : TPoint;
begin
  if RunEnergy(50) then setrun(true);
  if MeNearTile(path[high(path)], 5) then
  begin

    result := true;
    exit;
  end;
  for i := 0 to high(path) do
  begin
    tp := TileToMM(path[i]);
    if i < high(path) then
    begin
      ntp := TileToMM(path[i + 1]);
      if MeNearTile(tile(ntp.x, ntp.y), 1) then
        continue;
    end;
    if not rs_OnMinimap(tp.x, tp.y) then
    begin
      A_Debug('tile not on map: ' + inttostr(i));
      continue;
    end;
    mouse(tp.x, tp.y, 5, 5, true);
    if i < high(path) then
    begin
      ntp := TileToMM(path[i + 1]);
      while not rs_OnMinimap(ntp.x, ntp.y) do
      begin
        ntp := TileToMM(path[i + 1]);
        wait(100 + random(50));
        r_findrandoms;
        inc(c);
        if c > 300 then
        begin
          result := false;
          exit;
        end;
        if not ismoving then continue;
      end;
    end else
      r_flag;
    end;
  result := true;
  a_debug('At location!');
end;

Thats how WalkPath works IIRC :) Anyway afaik WalkPath still works great!

last time i used walkpath(right when reflection came out again) it stopped when it got to the tile, and couldnt start in the middle of path. I've been using mine ever since(it also allowed me to customise it per script) ;)

Well I just tested it and it started in the mid of path and doesnt stop :S

like i said, when reflection just came out ;) i haven't even used it since

Been experimenting with ref walking and yeah I found WalkPath to be very reliable

@awkwardsaw - Thanks for the function. If walkpath ever fails me I'll be sure to use yours + cred

When I use to use walkpath I liked the walking and how if you are in the middle of the path it doesn't go to the start tile but goes to the closest tile to the players location and heads to the end point. After using it for a while tho Rogeruk and I realized there was alot of cpu useage (Memory leaks).
So my question: does no1 get memory leaks when using walkpath anymore ?

Drags was saying they fixed a hefty amount of memory leaks. I wonder how the new WalkPath will work…

I've been using WalkPath at the moment, and I haven't got any memory leaks/issues so far. In fact, the walking has been near flawless, and I hardly needed to fail safe it :)

Well if thats the case I will try it out again :)

I've noticed my simba is crashing after about 4-5 hours, I think they're memory leaks :confused:

Like already said, in R2 a hefty amount of leaks have been fixed.

Yup thats what happened to me every so many hours. Got confused a bit and thought it was simba its self. Then Rogeruk pointed out that the cpu was going crazy when walking in to the trees and back, at no other point was it doing that to the cpu. Its a good idea to get a cpu, ram and heat widget on your desktop :D

That's how I was monitoring Simba on my previous laptop. It sure was a killer using WalkPath, and everyone who had used my scripts agreed on that. This is why I've been looking into BlindWalking. But in any case, I'm holding my breath on Reflection 2. ;)

It's more of the matter of when it comes out :rolleyes: So don't hold your breath for to long you might die :eek: :P I'm sure it will be amazing when it comes out like getting a new toy :spot: haha, can't wait :D

I found a work around for me, in ubuntu I gave gave Simba a greater memory priority and it hasn't crashed since.
