SRL Archive - SRL Archives

I noticed in the 'skill' branch of SRL we don't have anything for Summoning, so thinking of a couple functions that people might find useful I made one. It's nothing major or advanced, but it follows the basic SRL format. I also saved it as a Simba file rather than Scar file.

// * Function  UsingFamiliar: Boolean;
// * Function  GetSummonPoints: Integer;
// * Function  InteractFamiliar: Boolean;
// * procedure SetupSummoning;

Like I said, it's nothing unique, but it's not like we'd be taking a step back by adding this in. We can only progress from it. ;)

Looking good! I have no time to test it but rep+.

Heh thanks. :) SRL is starting to get dusty in the development area, so it'd be nice to see some more progress.

I plan to capitalize on this and make this as well as Reflection 2 a requirement for my next script release.

Summoning seems like it would make a short/easy script. Run from Fally East bank to the guy in taverly, make pouches, use fally tab, bank, repeat.

I think he will make a nature runes runner, if I look at his sig. And this isn't useful for pouch making anyway.

Already made an released this script, and it works like a charm. ;) But, it's released in Members+ along with many other premium scripts. Maybe it's incentive for you to shoot for members. :p

Bump! This is good stuff and should be added.

I can only see InteractFamilair being added. The majority of one-lined functions are removed for SRL 5 as they're one line, the scripter can very easily just add that one line. The majority of skill files have also been removed simply because most of them are terribly outdated and never used. As long as InteractFamiliar can't easily get outdated (or if it's used), I see no reason why it can't be added.

In that case, you could just replace "if UsingFamiliar then" (in InteractFamiliar) with "if FindColorTolerance(X,Y,11521955,695,130,720,150,20) then".

Although I think using color to determine if we're using a familiar or not will always be handy, not just for that function. If that's removed and the user wants to add a checker to see if we're using a familiar, they'll have to make their own FindColorTolerance (or whatever) with their own defined color in their own search area.

Oh yes, you're right. I didn't realize it was used in another function. May want to add a little note in the description about that, so people know it's used in other functions in the include. The GetSummoningPoints isn't really necessary then, in my opinion.

Using Familiar is definitely good, getSummoningPoints, not so much.

Coh3n, the removal of one liners was supposed to be to remove 1 lined "almost identical" wrappers not to remove function calls with lots of parameters, haha! Would you want to waste time getting things like that perfect when someone else already did it? :)

I think all the functions (except SetupSummoning :p) Should be kept! They all have their uses.

InteractFamiliar should be set to left click if the uptext is found without right clicking.

I was thinking about that earlier as well, that'd be a good idea.

I would agree, I suppose that was added to give more content to the file itself. But I did find use out of it while making and using Naturez, as when the player recharges their Summoning points at an obelisk we make sure our current summoning points are maxed out, if so then we summon a new familiar, if not then something went wrong with the recharging process…

Yeah that makes sense.

Useful yeah, but you can just as easily call GetMMLevels in your script. The point is that the FindColorTolerance in UsingFamiliar requires some color gathering/coordinates and isn't as simple as calling getMMLevels.
