Long range block selection

Post by Cameron TNT »

This spell acts as Archers Distillation over an arbitrarily long range utillising sentinel walking. For conveniences sake, at the end of the loop the sentinel is teleported to the selected block under the assumption some other spell may be ran thinking that block to have a uniform 16 radius ambit. This spell is most useful when cast in conjunction with other spells (for instance, long range block manipulation)

The ravenmind and stack are left unaffected by this spell, and it does not utilise any addons.

The spell expects the stack to be set up identically to that of Archers Distillation, with a position vector and a direction vector. Notably, the spell assumes the direction vector is a unit vector, though this can be modified fairly easily if that is inconvinient. The spell also assumes that the position vector is in your ambit, if not some preliminary sentinel walking will be required.

There are two forms of this spell. The first is barebones (but saves on evaluations), and as such has a few issues; It can get stuck in an infinite loop if fired at the horizon and when leaving the bounds of the world (-60<y<320) it will mishap (and due to the fact it will loop until it hits a block or mishaps, it never returns null)
The second form fixes these issues by setting an upper bound of 64 loops (configurable, highlighted in blue & commented), and a check for the bounds of the world (needs adjustments for nether & end). If either of these cause the spell to terminate, it will return null. The cost of this is over twice the pattern count and higher evaluation count.
