SPS location checking

How do you check if you are within a certain area using SPS?

Say my character my move too far in any one direction and then get stuck, how can you check if they are in that area so you can then move them back to where they should be?

Call SPS_GatherMinimap then SPS_FindMapInMap.
Then you can walk back by SPS_BlindWalk etc.

There is no SPS_FindMapInMap?

Function InsideArea(x1, y1, x2, y2: Integer): Boolean;
var
  P: TPoint;
  Box: TBox;
begin
  P := SPS_GetMyPos;
  Box := IntToBox(x1, y1, x2, y2);
  if PointInBox(P, Box) then
  begin
    Result := True;
  end;
end;   

If not InsideArea(x1, y1, x2, y2) then
  Failsafewalk;

Something like that? Or maybe if you wanna make it safer, let it to check whether SPS_GetMyPos is -1, -1. Sometimes it couldn't locate your position.

No SPS update available.

No idea why it's not coming up.. Oh well, will give CephaXz's suggestion a go :)

No new update for me too. Is it a newer version of simba?

Try overriding the update.

Trying CephaXz's method and it seems to be working but SPS is gathering my location drastically wrong. Custom map only way to avoid this?

You could use ODTM to confirm your location and then use SPS.

In the mining guild so there is just an insane number of rocks and that's it. :(

Try ODTMs, I've used them in forest like areas, and they are still surprisingly accurate. If that doesent work, maybe a custom SPS map.

WriteLn(SPS_GetMyPos); returns with this…

(347, 543)
(275, 527)
(87, 763)
(83, 631)
(83, 631)
(79, 631)
(75, 647)
(79, 631)
(227, 539)
(243, 531)
(243, 539)

It's completely all over the place and has no idea where I actually am…

Make a custom map then and see what happens. It will probably me much more accurate! :)

So then do some henges too… and having a lot of rocks ODTMd would be pretty accurate, no? I wouldn't doubt the power of ODTM :p
