I am trying to get my head around these two Bank routines …

1. MSTPointToBankPoint
2. BankPointToBankIndex

Could someone who understands these please explain them in detail for me ?

Thanks! :)

    function MSTPointToBankPoint(P: TPoint): TPoint;

Converts a point on the Mainscreen to the point in the Bank. 

    function BankPointToBankIndex(P: TPoint): Integer;

Converts a Bank Point (Row,Col) to Bank Index (spot in bank). (0, 0) = 1
       

just double click the function in simba

    function MSTPointToBankPoint(P: TPoint): TPoint;

Converts a point on the Mainscreen to the point in the Bank. 

    function BankPointToBankIndex(P: TPoint): Integer;

Converts a Bank Point (Row,Col) to Bank Index (spot in bank). (0, 0) = 1
       

just double click the function in simba

Some questions …

1. Why would you want to convert a Mainscreen point to one in the Bank ? I don't understand this.
2. WRT: BankPointToBankIndex(P: TPoint) -> Does this refer to the first bank tab (Infinity) where you have all the items listed, and you can reference them using the row / column method ie Row 5, Column 2 could be Tab 2 / Item 2 for example.

Thanks!

These are useless by themselves, their real use is in this:

GetMSBankItemAmount(x, y);

Both the above just help this function work. With this, you can find an Item in bank with the method of your choice and once you have x and y coordinates of the item, you can call an Integer and make it equal to the above like this:

Shark: Integer;

Shark := GetMSBankItemAmount(x, y);

This will sell you how many Sharks you have in your bank if you indeed have a Shark in (x, y). This is just an example but you can use this to find the amount of any item in your bank.

I think the Bank point refers to Col, Row as a TPoint.

@DemiseScythe: Yes, thank you. That is the missing link for me. I appreciate the help. Thanks! :)

I resorted to playing with these routines for a bit and 'discovered' (for want of a better term) the tpoint connection. Thanks for the confirmation. :)
