SRL Archive - OSR Help

EDIT: Sorry, found it, it was called 'arrow' feel free to delete.

I am writing a function for my script to check whether it is at the correct location to proceed with doing whatever it needs to at each location, so far I have this.

function CheckLocation: Integer;
var
  x,y: integer;
begin
  if FindSymbol(x,y,'bank') then
  begin
    Result := 0;
    WriteLn('We are at the bank.');
  end else
  if FindSymbol(x,y,'altar') then
  begin
    Result := 1;
    WriteLn('We are at the ruins.');
  end else
  if FindSymbol(x,y,'TRANSPORTATION SYMBOL') then
  begin
    Result := 2;
    WriteLn('We are at the altar.');
  end else
  WriteLn('We are not at a known location.');
  TerminateScript;
end;

But I'm trying to find a symbol for the 'transportation' icon on the minimap. Like you would find at portals in the essence mine and/or runecrafting altars I have searched through the include and haven't found anything that would suggest there is a pre-made bitmap in the include for this, do I need to make my own bitmap?

This achieves the same with less lines:

function CheckLocation: String;
var
  X, Y, i: integer;
  Symbols: Array of String;

begin
  Symbols := ['bank', 'altar', 'arrow'];
  for i:=0 to 2 do
    begin
      if FindSymbol(X, Y, Symbols[i]) then
        begin
          Result := Symbols[i];
          Break;
        end;
    end;
end;

Other then that, good you got it sorted out :P

Then you can have a case to define where you are in the mainloop

//Mainloop;
begin
  case CheckLocation of
    'bank':  begin
               WriteLn('We are at the bank');
               //Banking procedures
             end;
    'altar': begin
               WriteLn('We are at the ruins');
               //Ruins procedures
             end;
    'arrow': begin
               WriteLn('We are at the altar');
               //Altar procedures
             end;
  end;
end. 

Thanks for the reply :) but I ended up separating it up into individual functions so that it would return a boolean and I could use it with WaitFunc

Btw you know there are symbol constants, like Symbol_Bank instead of 'bank'

What is the difference between using them and the string?

What is the difference between using them and the string?

In SRL 6 it is likely that they will be updated to integers, if you change to constants now then your scripts won't be broken by it

Ahh, great to know! thank-you very much :)
