    Default Symbols? Possibly the next Reflection Walking?

    I was talking to a good friend of mine, he has come up with a confusing piece of code that would find a symbol and some how turn it into a grid or somthing like this.

    But I'd like to make my own simplified version of it, that does the following.
    • Find Symbol

    • Use the symbol to be the center of a Grid.

    • Find the correct grid reference and Use the grid to click the right area.

    • Wait for Flag to disappear or until Certain time has elapsed.


    Now I do realize that some of those things have already been made, I may use them.
    this could help allot, SPS maps would no longer be needed, therefore that chucks out the problem of updating SPS maps.
    I don't think you can find an area in RS that has no symbols, if you can just use simple SPS/Radial.


    Notes- Thanks to Main For the Idea[He has already achieved this]
    Oh and sorry about the grid not being totally completed

    Feel free to ask questions / give ideas

    Find the symbol each time you Start the path, as in never go by Where the symbol was last time, recalculate.

    Check out ObjectDTM's by euphemism. They are used for this exact scenario.

    I have tried ODTM But they are always buggy, or in other words never get to the correct points.

    Recalculate the path every time you use this Type of walking.

    ODTM sometimes incorrectly labels things, though. And when it does label them wrong, they are volatile and change their category (dead tree, rock, boulder). This leads to a walking path that gets you either nowhere or an undesired destination. This is from personal experience, but it might just be me...

    This is not a solution >.<

    Since they aren't static, if you base a grid centerpoint off of the location of a symbol, the grid's tiles will rarely be in the same place twice.

    This could be good for failsafe walking, but it's definitely not precise enough to be a primary function... I've never tried it though, so feel free to prove me wrong

    Everytime you call the function you find the symbol and recalculate the grid on where you found the symbol. So the symbol will always be 0,0.
    But i do see this can only get you Rough areas, anyone got an idea to always hit the same point?

    Some symbol have offset of 10 pixel, others wayy less.
    But you can use other unique item on the minimap aswell, such as a tree, or middle point of a lake...

    That was what I was going to say, sounds like a neat input that could be coded.

    It'd actually be good for item picking up.. Get a minimap dot; 12 pixels. Get the bounds of it and convert the bounds to mainscreen. Search in that box for an item and pick it up. For walking I don't think it'll work as symbols move a ton!

    Sorry i didn't make my self clear enough
    I meant a way to use the symbols still, but to make up for the movement of the symbol. I am sure there is something here we can do. I am Sure there is something along the line here for walking. I'm not saying DTM's aren't accurate my word they are iv'e used them a fair bit.
