Is there a way to implement a walk timeout for SPS? So if the character is stuck, SPS_walkpath does not follow an infinite loop of trying to walk to the next flag

You mean like marking the time before and repeating until the time is greater than a certain number?

I doubt encapsulating a timeout in the loop will work because once SPS_walkpath is called, it does not return until it finishes walking the path- very deadly situation especially if your character is stuck

Have you tried pasting the actual sps_walkpath function into your script, then calling it from your script (not the SPS Include) and manually implementing a timeout? (This is the quickfix that I used in a couple of my scripts).

Thanks, I modified the SPS.simba directly, +1 for opensource :spot:. Would be nice if there was a SPS_setTimeOut() that would work for all SPS functions hehe

i think its better to add a stuck detection in SPS_WalkPath.
so it return false stand for a stuck come.
use timeout to failsafe is not a good idea in my opinion.:)

Would be nice to see, Since something like a gate could close on you and the script would be clicking on the minimap for years :P

There is already a timeout built into SPS_WalkPath .. it has a 25 second timeout, I think when it goes back after clicking the minimap it should compare the position that it got to the old position and if it didnt change then exit.

// Walks the path "Path"; always walks to the furthest point possible
function SPS_WalkPath(Path: TPointArray): boolean;
var
  I, H, T, D: integer;
  P, MM,tempP: TPoint;
begin
  tempP := Point(-1,-1);
  H := High(Path);
  T := GetSystemTime + 20000 + Random(5000);

  while (not Result) and (GetSystemTime < T) do
  begin
    RunEnergy(20);

    P := SPS_GetMyPos;

    If tempP.X <> -1 then  // check if player is stuck. 
      if InRange(tempP.X, (P.X - 10), (P.X + 10)) then
        If InRange(tempP.Y, (P.Y - 10), (P.Y + 10)) then
        Begin
          Result := false;
          Exit;
        end;

    tempP := P; 

    for I := H downto 0 do
    begin
      MM.X := MMCX + Path[I].X - P.X;
      MM.Y := MMCY + Path[I].Y - P.Y;

      D := Distance(MM.X, MM.Y, MMCX, MMCY);

      if (D < 10) then
        break
      else
        if (D < 70) then
        begin
          if (SPS_MultiMouse) then
            MultiMouse(MM.X, MM.Y, 25, 3, false)
          else
            Mouse(MM.X, MM.Y, 5, 5, mouse_Left);

          FFlag(Integer(I <> H) * 15);

          T := getSystemTime + 20000 + Random(1000);
 	        Break;
        end;
    end;

    Result := (I = H);
  end;

SPS_getmyPos isn't remarkably accurate, you would get differences +-2 even shortest periods between function calls. I don't really understand how checking a range of +-10 would determine if you are stuck

It compares you current location to the location it previously had, and if its the same or withing a 10+- tolerance you would assume the character is stuck.
