So I couldn't find exactly the correct forum to put this in, but I thought this one would suite it well. To the point I was wondering about everyone's opinions on using mmtoms in a fighting script.

Naike used to do it in his avianses script and it worked rather well.

~RM

Narcle uses it in his fighter, and it is the best AIO fighter around.

I use it for looting in my script to narrow down to an area then I search in that area for items by colour, so yeah It could be used for fighting

var
  NPCs: TPointArray;
  BoxArr: TBoxArray;
  L, i: Integer;
  P: TPoint; 

NPCs := GetMMDotsOnMS('npc'); //Get NPC dots on MiniMap.
  L := Length(NPCs);
  if L < 1 then //If no NPC dots on MiniMap then exit.
    Exit;

  SetLength(BoxArr, L);
  For i := 0 To L-1 Do
    begin
      P := MMtoMS(NPCs[i]); //For every dot on MiniMap get a point on mainscreen.
      BoxArr[i] := IntToBox(Max(P.x-50, MSX1), Max(P.y-50, MSY1), Min(P.x+50, MSX2), Min(P.y+50, MSY2)); //Draw a box 50x50 around the point returned from MMtoMS.
    end;

This gives you an array of areas to search in and all you have to do is use that in a For..To..Do loop searching for colors in the area BoxArr.x1, BoxArr.y1, BoxArr.x2, BoxArr.y2 and then the usual uptext checking etc.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that it is better to include IsFightAt before you check for uptext as it will save time jumping from point to point where there is a monster that is already in combat.


There could be better ways but thats pretty much how it can be used, hope this helps!
