Starting to Script

[Marco40]

Scripting is way to hard for me, I try'd and yes i know i give up fast but i can' do anything about it,


Please let this topic to rest now.

It's actually pretty easy, you just have to take it slowly. I thought I couldn't do it but, I took the time to read the tuts, and then I eventually got it. Don't give up

Ok I just want to point out something.

When declaring something such as x and y for a procedure like you have.

ex.

procedure mine;
var x,y:integer;
begin
blah
blah
end;

^ that means x and y is declared for that procedure only and will only work for that procedure unless you take the time to declare it for every procedure.

If you want x,y declared to be used in the whole script, do this.

Program Gold_Digga_0_1;
{.Include SRL\SRL.Scar}
{.Include SRL\SRL\Skill\Mining.Scar}

var
  x, y: Integer;

procedure yourprocedure;
begin
{what your procedure does;}
end;

^ that declares it at the beginning. So it will be declared the whole script.

Yay for advise!!!

Ah, but Zasz, there is one problem to that!

If you declare it at the top of the script, then it will be the same throughout the script. If you declare it for each procedure, it will only be declared for that procedure.

Example:

procedure mine1;
var
  x,y:integer;
begin
  X := 50;
  Y := 50;
  Movemouse(x, y);
end;

procedure mine2;
var
  x,y:integer;
begin
  X := 100;
  Y := 100;
  Movemouse(x, y);
end;

Begin
  Mine1;
  Wait(2500);
  Mine2;
End.

That is if it's for two different procedures.

Var
  X, Y : Integer;

procedure mine1;
begin
  X := 50;
  Y := 50;
  Movemouse(x, y);
end;

procedure mine2;
var
  x,y:integer;
begin
  Movemouse(x, y);
end;

Begin
  Mine1;
  Wait(2500);
  Mine2;
End.

That's for one. Notice the problem? You could end up with wonky coordinates in a needed procedure.

ummm no?

Var
  X, Y : Integer;

procedure mine1;
begin
  X := 50;
  Y := 50;
  Movemouse(x, y);
end;

procedure mine2;
begin
  X := 100;
  Y := 100;
  Movemouse(x, y);
end;

Begin
  Mine1;
  Wait(2500);
  Mine2;
End.

Yes, that's true. But what happens if you're relying on it to find a color, and it doesn't find the color? It will use the coordinates previously stored in the variable.

[ZaSz]

um i always make it a point to use a different variable to store colors... x,y should be used for default mouse...

Like if(findcolorspiral(x,y,blah,blah)then begin mouse(x,y,6,6,true); end;

x,y should only store for direct uses like above.

[Sandstorm]

That's exactly what I mean. If it's a global variable, then x and y will be the number found in the FindColorSpiral, unless another procedure changes it.
