Exact Movement

Need some help with movement.

When i walk to a location I`m using sps, but it is not always very accurate. My question is this. How can I make sure that I reach the exact spot for witch I aim?

I`m going to give two sample pictures with circles marked in red. I want to end up when I have finished walking right in the middle of the red circle.

Is it possible to do? And if it is possible, how should I do it?

The last point in the sps path is right on the spots that is circled in red, but it never end`s up right in that spot. How can I change that, and force my character to end up in that precise spot?

I would appreciate some examples if possible on how to accomplish it.



This is just samples of what I want to accomplish.

Should I make a dtm of the spot where I want to end up and use that or is there another way in which I can use the points generated in sps walking to accomplish it?

Thanks for the advice and feedback.

Does SPS Not get you to those exact spots? If so you can just use a TPointArray to get to that exact location. If SPS Doesn't get you there and TPA's are too hard, use a DTM on the minimap and hope that it gets you on that exact location. I don't exactly like DTM's for stuff like that but "sometimes" it's justifiable

I can suggest two methods here.

First is a nifty trick I learned just recently. If you've used SPS 1 before and found it to be more accurate than SPS 2 (current SPS) then make a custom 500x500 map piece, from SPS 1's map images, of the area you want to walk around in. Then use the SPS Path-maker tool and create a path that way; it's very accurate I've found.

Another option is Home's Console Walking Include (C.W.I). Evidently it can walk to an exact coordinate in Runescape using the developer console.

An object DTM with no area should be perfect if using enough points.

I would advise object DTMs, most accurate and very easy to set up. SPS is still the best for paths where accuracy isn't as important
