npc.interact doesn't work

[Likeyou343 0]

I have this kind of code here and for some reason the npc interaction doesn't work.

NPC npc = getNpcs().closest(new String[]{"Name1", "Name2"});
if (npc != null) {
    // npc.toString() outputs Name1: [id]
    // code reaches up till here
    npc.interact("Trade");
    // code does not reach here
}

I tried making getNpcs().closest("Name1") only but it still does not work.

Code doesn't go further if I try to do npc.isOnScreen() as well

 

Edit: randomly started working. Did not change anything

Do any npcs actually have a "trade" option? It sounds like you may be trying to trade with a player. If that is the case, you should use `getPlayers()` and not `getNpcs()`.

It is npcs with trade option

According to his code commentation, he has successfully found the Entity that he's looking for. So the getNpcs() method looks all good. 

 

 

@OP: Did you get an error message in the client? If not, run the client in debug mode so we can see any errors through the cmd prompt.

It was likely due to the RS update. Should work now.
