Hello. What method would I be looking for to find red dots (dropped items) on the RuneScape mini-map, then walk to them? If someone can simply say "you need to use x method" I will then go and look for a tutorial. Thankyou.

TPAs should work find.
FindColorSpiralTolerance also.

Thankyou :) I've never tried TPA's, but I've done a little bit of FindColorSpiralTolerance :)

SRL already has a function for that called GetMiniMapDots in mapwalk.simba.

It returns a TPA of all the points it finds.


GetMiniMapDots('white'); //Find white dots
GetMiniMapDots('yellow'); //Find yellow dots
GetMiniMapDots('red'); //Find red dots



After finding the location on the minimap, you could click on them to get to the location, and then use the function MMtoMS to convert this minimap point to a point on the mainscreen. After that you could pick up/attack what ever you are looking for.

Note that MMtoMS is not perfectly accurate but it greatly help to reduce the search area.

Oh, that's helpful :) Thankyou. Are there any tutorials for this that you know of?

Search for a TPA tutorial.

TPA = array of points.

For example this is a point:

(x, y)
and this is a tPOINTarray (TPA)
(x, y)
(x, y)
(x, y)
(x, y)
(x, y)
(x, y)

It's just a list of points. Once you understand that it's pretty simple.

Say there are 3 players on the minimap, the TPA would contain 3 points.
(x, y)
(x, y)
(x, y)

All you have to do is choose the one you want to walk to and click it.

As for MMtoMs, I know there are some on this forum, just use the search you'll find it.
