PerfectNorth working for anybody?

[JAD]

Since my radial walking for my script is getting screwed up because MakeCompass('N') doesn't get it percise enough for the script to get to the tree for my script. I tried using PerfectNorth; and that doesn't move the compass at all. Does this work for anybody else? or is it just me..

[Pentti]

Its actually same if you use MakeCompass('N') or PerfectNorth;
Perfect north just does tree times MakeCompass('N');

[JAD]

To get a more consistent north angle, (because sometimes it can be off by a noticeable amount each time it rotates..) Should I call for MakeCompass('N'); 3 times in my script? would that give me more consistently the same northish angle?

[nielsie95]

If you call MakeCompass('N') 3 times, you can better use PerfectNorth as that does exactly the same :p. And yes, I think that PerfectNorth works better than one time MakeCompass. :)

I think PerfectNorth also uses HighestAngle;

[nielsie95]

not sure:


{************************************************* ******************************
procedure PerfectNorth;
By:
Description: Sets the minimap to a perfect north position.
************************************************** *****************************}

procedure PerfectNorth;
begin
MakeCompass('N');
Wait(500 + Random(500));
MakeCompass('N');
Wait(500 + Random(500));
MakeCompass('N');
Wait(500 + Random(500));
SendArrowSilentWait(0, 1000 + Random(500)); //Makes this the HighestAngle?
ActivateClient;
end;

Try making the compass turn at a random angle first, then use PerfectNorth;.

Sometimes SCAR will return the compassing being north, when in fact it's a little bit off. If you make it turn in a random direction first, perfect north will do it's job. (Or so I would think.)

I had to remove perfect north from my script because it completly froze my entire kayboard, couldn't even type manually :|

[Jason2gs]

PerfectNorth does seem to lag a tad.

[~alex~]

It wasnt lagging, everything else was running fine, it just wasn't accepting any keyboard input, scar or otherwise.

Well, MakeCompass (and perfectnorth as well) uses the actualy compass, instead of the angle of the minimap. Sometimes, the compass can be perfectly north, but the minimap is way off. So until we find a way to find the minimap angle, we can never get the exact same perfectnorth.

Oh, ok thanks. The problem was my script at a certain bank booth can see the tree I'm trying to get too on mini map, and at the other one, it can't :( So I can't have it click the tree using auto color this, So I may have to walk next to the water if I can get that to work. Thanks for all the help guys :)

Sorry... I'm a noob trying to make me first script lol... its not coming along too bad except it comes up with this when I try to use the MakeCompass('N'); thingo.

Any Ideas? Open to criticism but just remember i'm only a noob...

Any-key, you need to use SRL include in your script {.include srl/srl.scar}

[Any-key]

thanks mate, much appreciated. I should be releasing my first script within a week or so
