isOnScreen() is terribly inefficient.

Generating the point and checking if it's in a rectangle is 4 order of magnitude more efficient.

I stopped using it likely because I tracked half my bugs down to it not working. Nice work demonstrating the issue! THIS is how things get changed

[Noidlox 11]

This will probably be fixed in Dreambot 3.0

[Nex 2542]

yea bugged for me aswell

So are you saying something like this is better to use than the on screen method in the API?

private boolean isOnScreen(final NPC npc) {
    if (npc == null) {
        return false;
    }

    Point p = getClient().getViewport().tileToScreen(npc.getTile());
    return (new Rectangle(1, 1, 515, 338).contains(p));
}

I'm saying that you should never use isOnScreen because of how long it takes to execute.

[Pandemic 2724]

isOnScreen calculates the model area and checks if it intersects with the viewport area, so of course it'll be slower than using a less precise check like tileToScreen.

 

However the small difference probably isn't worth the extra processing power, so I'll give it a look

Ive started using the method i posted and not sure if its a placebo effect, but I feel the difference.

That's all we can ask for.
