Runback Module

[compuboy]

You can use this module in combat macros to make you run back to wherever you started, instructions are in the macro.

Code: Select all

|Runback.inc written by Compuboy
|Use /call runback set at the beginning of 
|	a macro to define the loc and heading to face
|Use /call runback run whenever you want to run
|	back to where you started and face the direction you were
|	facing to begin.

sub RunBack

/if "$p0"=="set" {
/goto :setvars
}else /if "$p0"=="run"{
/goto :runback
}else{
/echo "Unrecognized runback parameter! Returning to /call point."
/return
}

:setvars
/varset v70 $char(x)
/varset v71 $char(y)
/varset v72 $char(heading)
/echo "Location set to $v70,$v71 with a heading of $v72."
/return

:runback
/echo "Running back to loc $v70,$v71."
/face nopredict loc $v71,$v70
/sendkey down w

:checkdist
/delay 0
/face nopredict loc $v71,$v70
/if n $abs($calc($v70-$char(x)))<=5 /if n $abs($calc($v71-$char(y)))<=5 {
/sendkey up w
/delay 5
/face heading $v72
/goto :end
}else{
/goto :checkdist
}

:end
/echo RunBack subroutine complete! Sitting....
/sit on
/return

tell me what you think, and how i can improve it. I will offer explanations on any part of it if need be.

A decent obstacle detection subroutine would be nice. I've coded a few -- and if I weren't on vacation at the moment, I'd post them -- but they look pretty mechanical. Of course, the best way to deal with obstacles is to predict them -- and that's only going to happen if someone maps out the entire zone and tells the macro where the obstacles are... Not sure that's ever gonna happen.

Otherwise, looks good. It'll perform its purpose, and that's all that really matters.

Oh -- and a check to see if you get attack while running back to start would be nice too. I'd post that up here if I were home, too.

really it is just for use when grouped, not for soloing, would need to have such features if it werent for group. I use it when the mob my group is killin is dead to run back to the camp site. and it works nice
